How is it possible? My little girl is 7 years old! I realised when I placed the last cat food order that I no longer have to get “young adult” food for her, she can join the other two and eat their “mature adult” bics. OMG. Of course she is still very kittenish and weighs nothing at all, prances around like she is on strings. But yeah, she is getting older.

And of course Morcilla shares a birthday with my beloved Azar – they were born exactly 18 years apart. How weird is that?

Happy Birthday my precious girl!

So I went Christmas, Reyes Magos and Birthday shopping today… all for me! I had suddenly run out of both my Clinique Elixir perfume and Clinique moisturizer – eek! – and had to re-stock. While I was at it I also got a travel-sized tube of the moisturizer, and would have also bought a smaller perfume for travelling (I’m out of that too), but they were sold out of the latter. Anyhow, a good haul and all was on sale. Yay.  🙂

the day after…

Since this is officially Birthday Week I was delighted to find out that Lucy @sparkybakewell has her birthday the day after mine. So she met up with me at Vermutería Yo Soy Tu Padre, where I had gone to introduce Charlie & Sam @vinoveroleigh to my darling boy Esteban. Then Lucy and I headed out for her birthday lunch at La Chalá. I was told they had some new stuff on the menu and it was all very good. Of course I told everyone it was OUR BIRTHDAY so they brought us some complementary cava. And of course we also stopped for a penúltima cava on the way home… nice day!

Yay! It was a wonderful 63rd birthday. Lovely friends Claudia & Paul took me out for lunch at a new Italian restaurant called Alimentari. It was something new for all of us, and I also got to introduce them to a different part of town.

We actually started off at Las Teresas for some cava and jamón, and afterwards met up with Charlie & Sam, who were also in Sevilla for my birthday last year (!) for a penúltima at La Azotea. I have to say it was one of my best birthdays ever.  Thanks everybody! ❤
