Woke up this morning with a very cuddly Morcilla purring all over the place. I think she misses her playmates a bit and has become a bit clingy here, so I’m giving her lots of extra attention. Then while I was having coffee and having a look online I got a message from twitter pal David @IrlandesnMalaga about maybe meeting up today, something we never managed to do the last time I was here. And it was looking like we might not manage it this time as David kept suggesting early morning coffee somewhere since he is busy in the afternoons but – you know – I’m on holiday! And my lazy slow mornings are so lovely…
Finally David reorganised his schedule so we could meet at noon for a “quick beer” and a chat, which ended up stretching out for almost four hours and included a walk over to the market for some seafood at Cafe-Bar Atarazanas after we’d had some snacks at my “local” bar Los Gatos. David brought along his rescue pup Nina, who is such a sweetie. Her background is a sad one, first with an abusive owner, then spending two years at a shelter, before David took her home. And you can tell she is well-loved and happy now, lucky girl.
Anyhow, David and I were trying to figure out when we first met and turns out it was three years ago, one of the times I was here doing some work for the Málaga winery. Three years! So we had a nice time catching up and sharing all our news. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Twitter? I mean, yesterday I’d stopped in at Los Gatos for a quick beer before lunch and suddenly got a tweet from Mark & Jo saying they were in town shopping and that I should stay put – five minutes later they met me for a quick drink and visit before they had to head home to Estepa! And most of this week will also be filled with going out with friends I mostly met on Twitter. Nice.
Now I think I’ll take an evening stroll and stop for a tapita somewhere. It’s supposed to get all stormy here this week so I want to get out as much as possible while the lovely warm (but not too hot) weather holds.
What did you do today?

I raced the clock until four in the afternoon… when someone forgot her appointment.
I tried not to let her sense, when I phoned, that I was relieved. They don’t pay you if you sound relieved.
Pat that kitty!

Patting her, playing with her, cuddling with her… it’s almost a full time job! But I’m very happy she’s here with me. I’m not sure I’d be able to go away anywhere again without her.

I wandered around with my mom and saw the Jobs movie. I liked it a lot but it put mom to sleep.
Re: your pics above… One of them looks very much like lady bits. The chef HAS to be doing that on purpose, right?

That did not even occur to me! Fresh anchovies and olives, my dear.

Sounds like a great day! (And I believe you may have mentioned your love for Twitter once or twice before. I’m always a little sad that Twitter never quite worked for me. Maybe it will at a different stage in my life. But I am always happy for you with how many good things it has brought into your life!)
I love the photos!
(My day yesterday was fairly sedentary. I did help my mother get a blog going, so that one accomplishment!)
