too many hobbles

health, hospitals, knee, sevilla

I think I really overdid things this past week. I mean, I try to get out for a hobble each day, as well as doing my chair workouts five times a week. But between Málaga-Marbella and Jerez I worry that I may have actually done some extra damage to The Knee. Because now it seriously hurts (even more) like fuck. Today I wanted to go to the market and gave up half-way there. The thing was, once out and about you just kind of have to keep going. Especially if you are in the centre of pedestrianised Málaga (no taxis!) or when your lunch location in Benalmádena ends up being at the bottom of a very steep foot path (ouch!).

But I persevered then took a couple of days off before heading to Jerez. I don’t know if that was a mistake or not, or if all of it was wrong to do, but dammit I’m so tired of not being able to do things. And with NOBODY helping me with info about what I should or should not be doing (other than go to the pool, ride a bike, lose weight). Not one doctor has told to either keep walking or stop walking. And so I keep on, not exactly walking, but hobbling on my trusty crutches. Clocked over 15,000 hobbles in Málaga and another 12,000 in Jerez. And each one hurt so much. I just want my life back.

copa jerez, jerez, Malaga, vinos de españa una pasión

So two big time wine events in less than a week. First up was Vinos de España Una Pasión last Thursday in Málaga and then this week’s final of the Copa Jerez in Jerez de la Frontera. Both offered a chance to meet up with old friends and make some new ones. And enjoy some fabulous wines! More on each trip a bit later. Just to say how much I love being a part of this community, feeling a part of it, being accepted. Love it so much.

casa morales, medalla de la ciudad, reyes morales, sevilla

So pleased to see my friend Reyes Morales receive the Medalla de la Ciudad 2025. Upon receiving this recognition for her iconic tavern and her place in the history of Sevilla she said it was also a tribute to those who are no longer with us.

“It moves me to talk about this because my family lived through a civil war, a postwar period, very difficult years… And now it’s my turn to collect this medal, it’s an immense honour. For them. For those up above.”
