A low-key birthday today …
no parties or dinners or prezzies or trips,
but very glad to be here, even if 54 seems a bit meh

55 though – that’ll be fun!

…aka Los Reyes Magos or Three Kings Day

This celebration typically marks the end of the festive season in Spain, though I always extend it one day more to include my birthday (natch). Last night there was the cabalgata, a parade featuring Los Reyes Magos who ride around on floats tossing sweets out to the hoards of children that line the route, and at midnight the Christmas lights were switched off. Today there will be family dinners with gifts (giving presents on Christmas Eve/Day is a relatively new practice here), then tomorrow kids go back to school and normal life begins again. Though I’m actually working today and have a biz meeting at 5 o’clock – beats just sitting around waiting for my English students to come back from their holidays.

Planned to have an epiphany today but, you know…

one year old!

Today is Loki’s “official” birthday, chosen by me because, of course, we don’t know exactly when he was born. The vet wrote his birthday as being on the 8th in his little health certificate book, but since both Azar and I have birthdays on the 7th (April and January) I moved it up a day. It was on February 7th that I first wrote here about choosing him, and had been told that he was about two months old.

And so today – más o menos – he turns one year old.

Happy Birthday, Loki!
(sure hope you’ve stopped growing…)

Friday was Jessica’s birthday and she invited me out for a lovely tapas meal. We went to Duo Tapas in the Alameda and had a great time, eating and drinking and talking and laughing …

Wow, it seems like just yesterday that I found newly born Azar and his five siblings curled up under a car with their mother, who I’d been looking after (which is how I know his birth date). Who could have guessed that five months later I’d take the little guy home and that fifteen years later he would still be here filling my life with joy. I remember when Sunny first got sick telling someone (Jessica?) that if Sunny died I would devastated. Then I pointed at Azar and said, but that won’t even come close to when this one goes. It’s curious, because it wasn’t about loving one cat more than the other. More about the intensity of the relationship. Difficult to explain.

The pic above was taken shortly after I brought Azar home and the one below was taken yesterday evening. I’m so glad it all worked out with his new buddy, Loki. I just love watching those two together.

Happy Birthday Azar!
Let’s have lots more birthdays together, okay?
