the last of the oranges

I can only guess that it’s been too rainy for the orange harvesters to do their work. At least around here (haven’t been out to other barrios lately) the trees are still full of ready-to-fall-off oranges. They’re still nice to look at for the moment but things could get ugly soon enough. Nobody wants three millions kilos of rotting fruit on the ground. And no, they aren’t for eating.

okay, just one more!

I managed to squeeze in one more Birthday Lunch on Saturday, making a grand total of seven in all. Not bad! Paul had been in (and around) town over the past week with his daughter Molly and her husband Alex, also visiting Cádiz and Jerez. It was starting to look like I wouldn’t see them due to weather travel disruptions, etc but then on their last day we found time to meet up for a quick lunch at El Manijero (and also so Paul could pick up his L’Armanaque) before they caught their bus to Málaga. And so now that January is over that’s definitely all the birthday fun until next year.
