inseparable

These two guys are slaying me!

It’s just too adorable how they have become inseparable these days. And you can really see how Loki looks up to Azar as the “big brother”. He’s very monkey-see-monkey-do and tends to copy whatever Azar does, such as eating asparagus and grass. He also copies Azar’s favourite cuddle position in bed, and tucks his little nose under my chin (but on the other side of my head). The other night they were nose-to-nose like this, both of them purring away like mad, and I thought I would melt on the spot. Loki even submits to grooming by his big bro and they always siesta together now.

As for whatever was ailing Azar, having Loki around has really perked him up. He’s eating well now and his “dislocated shoulder” must have healed itself because the two of them tear around the apartment chasing each other like maniacs. So nice to see Azar getting some exercise! Meanwhile, Loki is a lean mean kitteh machine … he plays hard and sleeps hard. He also eats a LOT, and I think it was watching him eat all the time that got Azar interested in food again. So it turns out to have been a good match after all. Phew!

More kitteh cuteness below the links…

diana porter, jewellery

it’s about wisdom, it’s about togetherness whilst being separate,
it’s about change, it’s about the spirit in all of us, it’s about tiny precious moments,
it’s about knowing and not knowing…and on and on…

Ever since my friend Lizzie in Bristol sent me a small catalogue of Diana Porter’s fabulous jewellery (about ten years ago?) I have longed to own, well, almost everything she makes. But I especially like the sibyl necklace collection. It’s been interesting to notice how my preferred words have changed over the years. I think if I were to get one of these today I would pick: strong, joyful and listen.

The choice of words for this collection are: calm, clarity, confident, flexibility, fulfilled, humour, joyful, listen, open, play, pleasure, powerful, responsibility, safe, secure, space, strong, sure, unafraid, vision, warm.

Which words would you choose?

tapas – a bite of spain

Shortly after moving to Seville (in 1993) I was given a copy of Janet Mendel’s Cooking In Spain as a birthday present. And it turned out to be one of the best presents I have ever received (along with my iPhone) because I have used it so much over the years and have also recommended it to others more times than I can remember.

Then last month a Twitter friend got in touch with me to ask for a bit of help with a project she was working on, and I was happy to do so. As a thank you gift Michelle sent me this latest book by Janet Mendel, for which she had done the photography. And all I can say is … wow! It’s not only a fabulous cookbook but also a real visual treat. Check it out if you are interested in Spanish cooking.
