Had a fabulous evening out with Jessica to celebrate her birthday (which is really on Saturday but, hey, she won’t be here then). In typical Spanish style I was invited out for a meal and we ended up at the most fabulous La Azotea, newly reopened after summer holidays. The food was amazing. And knowing it was Jessica’s birthday Juan brought us cava on the house as soon as we sat down. The original plan had been to go for dessert at Al Aljibe afterwards, but we were both so stuffed we opted for a nightcap cocktail at Roof, the new rooftop bar at the Casa Romana Hotel.

And now to bed. It’s Jessica’s last day in Sevilla tomorrow and we have to get up early to find exquisite olives for her at the market to take home.

azar is 16!!!

He really is the love of my life, this little guy. And now that he’s getting older with his health becoming a bit fragile I extra-value every day, every waking moment, that I have with him. I found him upstairs on the red chair the other day, enjoying the light coming in through the glass door of the terraza – can’t really say he was enjoying the view as I doubt he can see much anymore because of the cataracts. But it’s a delight to watch him racing up and down the stairs, hanging out on the balconies, and even sitting out on Loki’s window ledge. There’s still quite a lot of kitten in him.

Happy birthday mi vida!

Here is the story of how I met Azar.

Yesterday was Nog’s birthday and, as I had a tapas tour in the evening, I asked him if he would like to join us. My clients were happy to get a “two for one” tour guide offer and Nog got to celebrate his birthday in style. We went to three tapas bars and had some amazing food and wine. And in case you’re wondering, that isn’t a piece of cake set ablaze with 58 candles… 😉

This is Buddy.

A couple of weeks ago Sledpress warned me that an Amazon birthday prezzie was coming my way. I immediately thought she’d checked out my wish list and expected a book or dvd to arrive, so imagine my surprise when I picked up a massive box on Saturday and found this inside. A percussion massager with four different attachments (soft, medium, firm … and HEAT!). What an amazing gift, which I can say after having tried it out. It feels sooooo good that I can imagine it becoming quite addictive. Haven’t tried the heat attachment yet but I’m sure that is going to be awesome.

Have to say that I had quite a chuckle over the WARNING on the device which says:

Caution: this product was designed for use on broad body areas only. To avoid pinching keep smaller body parts such as fingers and hair away from heads and the gap between the heads and housing.

Thanks again, Sled. A truly fab gift.
And you’ll be happy to know that Azar and Loki like it too…
