This photo is for Anneke.  Yes, the bear hugs are wonderful.  🙂

And that was my last one (until next time) taken at 8.45 this morning when the airport bus pulled up.  Luckily Nog was there to hug me after it drove away because I suddenly couldn’t stop crying. I’m really really bad at goodbyes. But we made lots of very happy memories this past week. And tomorrow Craig will be meeting up with Sara & Steve in London for a few beers. They’ve never met before but I’m sure they’ll have plenty of Sevilla stories to swap and, I don’t know, it gives me a nice feeling to think that some of my favourite people will be out enjoying each other’s company tomorrow.

So, it’s back to REALITY. Got to clean up the joint and go out for my daily walk. It just feels a bit sad and empty knowing that I won’t be seeing the zoomster later on today. *sigh*  😦

Here are some ‘last lunch’ memories from Yebra below . . .

(it’s gonna be green tea & broccoli from now on)

Well, maybe one day I’ll get some photos of Cádiz with blue skies … but we were actually quite lucky with the weather, as far as rainy days go.  The first rain shower happened just before lunch, which put the kibosh on our original plan to eat at the same beachside restaurant Nog & I had gone to three years ago. But as a result we happened upon Casa Tino near the market and had a delightful selection of tapas there. When the second rain shower hit we took shelter in an Irish pub, which was all decked out for Halloween, and consumed both Irish coffee and Irish whisky before lurching to the station to catch our train.  But other than that the weather was very pleasant and the company was even better.

We had a great day!

You Are Thai Food


Trendy yet complex.

People seek you out – though they’re not sure why.

I know I’ve posted this before and I think I was Mexican food last time. Thai sounds much more like me. Anyhoo … no time for a proper post as we are off to Cádiz for the day.  Nog made the executive decision about whether to chance the rain or not, which means if it all goes pear-shaped it’s his fault.   😉
