I now keep my red wine in the fridge. Sacrelidge. Unthinkeable until Oscar explained to me the other day why. He manages a bar, and has worked there for a long time - he should know. Red wine should be served at 16-18 degrees or somewhere around there, depending on the type. Room temperature here is 37 degrees.

He also knows which beers or sherries warm up faster than others, even though they are stored at the same original temperature.

I went to Carmona today. It's half an hour away. It has views, the requisite church towers with grass growing, and medieval walls. Also a fancy hotel at the top of the hill and various museums. I stayed 2 hours longer and sat beside a round square, and read my book from the second hand store on "Lo femenino y lo sagrado". It's been translated from French into Spanish, and consists of two women writing each other letters discussing their insights into the subject. Very, very fascinating.

Anyways, I managed to relax somewhat there, as I am not in a very sane headspace these days.
