Trinkets just gather dust and then need cleaning 😉 better to admire them whilst window shopping and save a picture of them on your mind

OOooo - love Madrid - there is a very lovely rooftop bar, El Jardin De Diana which gives you a great view of the main thoroughfare. (Kinda the point of rooftop bars I guess . . . ) BiB xDF

It’s only slightly warmer here, but the views are prettier!
The hotel is gorgeous. Palatial furniture. Food is yummy too.
Vinted continues to bring in the pennies. Next week’s payments will pay off Very and a token gesture of the Nationwide CC. All Vinted funds plus my monthly minimum Very payment will go towards paying that off rápido.
The Santander CC will be next. That’s going to take motivation. I’m hoping to halve that one by Christmas.MBNA 430/14000
