What are you gunna do with Brian?

It would be difficult to look after a cat in the wild, nutritionally etc.

Nutrition? Don't be crazy. Cats are one of the deadliest hunters on earth. The wild for a cat is like the supermarket for a human... and enough dry cat food for a week is not heavy.

Not a concern though. We mutually parted ways already.

Today I, more or less, walked up the embankment then watched bullfighting with some old guys. There's an 80% chance I'll move on tomorrow.

I poked fun at the ridiculous clothing, did impressions of the dumb faces they make, cheered everytime a bull gored or stamped them, called the fighters faggits and argued loudly that it is just theatre and not even good theatre for fuck's sake! I was not a welcome member of the group.

Meanwhile, I've been burning doodles into my walking staff. So glad I packed a USB soldering iron.

Building bridges with the locals I see

I could revive the popularity of bull fighting single-handedly, if they hired me as commentator.

I’m not sure I’d pay to listen, but I’d supply weed and crisps

Also, any tips on learning spanish?

I wrote up a big thing on Spanish learning resources a while back, but Noah didn't bring a copy into the ark and it was lost in the great forum flood of not that long ago.

Will write you up something. To begin with though, I read a lot of people saying it is best to learn your third language using your second language as the base. So, on Duolingo, for example, select French to Spanish. It is supposed to work better.

Waiting near the bus stop. About to move on to Las Posadas. 10 days in Almodóvar is a lot. Lovely sleepy little place, mostly friendly folk, but only one restaurant worth eating at.

Got a lot of new friends around about the town. I made one of them a gift. Got one new enemy. He made me the worst burger of my life on Sunday when nothing else was open.

Most notable event here: suddenly being surrounded by at least 100 grazing goats whilst watching walking dead. I banged my staff on a tree and they moved away. Except the bull of the herd, who stared me down and grunted. I grunted back and banged my staff a bit more. He went left, so I went right and he passed by. I saw the herd a few more times after that but they knew about me and kept their distance. (Also, there's lots of river turtles.)

My staff exists originally to help me walk. A dude got weird with me a few days ago and it got me to thinking. Now I pretend to limp so I have an excuse for carrying my staff.

Today a fat guy was angry that I dozed off in his bar. I tried to leave peacefully but he wanted to say things. He had bad teeth so I offered to remove them for him with a swift blow to the jaw... cheaper than the dentist you obviously can't afford. He said "put the stick down and I'll fight you" Yeah.... Errr... No... I'm not carrying it by accident... what a silly fat old cunt you are... and clearly I don't need it to walk... plus, if you think that's the only weapon I've got on my body... and that was the end of that.

Don't test me, old fat man.
