oh right, flip, not spin…

christmas, london

I never get these things right. It’s also hard to believe it’s only been ten days since I first found out about the possible dream come true of going to London at Christmastime – feels like this indecisiveness has been going on forever. I tried to let it go and, short of physcially flipping a coin, I thought and re-thought all the pros & cons … and ended up thinking so much that I lost my flight this morning. Or, found out it had gone up by 100€ overnight, which is the same thing. Right after I had decided that the gut feeling to go to London was the right one, which ended up being my coin flip, waiting until this morning to book my flight. Once it came up tails, so to speak, I realised how much I really wanted to go.

So now I’m just waiting to hear back from S (whose house & cat I would be looking after) because I’ve actually found another flight just as cheap, but it leaves on Tuesday. Which means I’d end up missing S and her family (they leave tomorrow) but it seems the neighbours could let me in and show me around. And then I’d come back to Sevilla on January 6th, when S’s lodger gets back to London, which means I’d also be home for my birthday (7th).

I know, I know, I should have just flipped the damn coin rather than spinning it in every which way direction. But without that process I don’t think I’d have felt as sure as I do now that  taking this week in London would be a VERY GOOD THING to do. Especially as I just received two Paypal prezzies which will take care of about 2/3 of the transportation costs. So please keep fingers crossed that I haven’t driven S totally nuts with all my dithering and that before I go to bed I will have a confirmed flight to London Heathrow on Tuesday…

circle, photohunt

Today’s Photohunt theme is “circle”.

I’m “cheating” twice today because this photo wasn’t taken by me and I was actually reminded of these adorable Christmas cupcakes made by twitter pal Holly Cocina when I saw Gengen’s Photohunt post this morning. Anyhow, I checked with Holly and she is happy to have me use one of her photos here, and they really seem so perfect for the theme and the season.

For more cupcake photos – and the recipe (in Spanish) – check out:

christmas, christmas eve, robert sabuda


Last year I received a most wonderful “pop-up celebration” book from my friend Teuchter – The Twelve Days of Christmas by Robert Sabuda – which I featured over on this post. And then a couple of weeks ago another pop-up popped up, again sent by Teuchter. This one called The Night Before Christmas. And since this is Christmas Eve I’ve taken some pics of the book that I’d like to share with you. Hope you enjoy it…

christmas, sevilla, tapas

Just home from a wonderful Christmas tapas lunch with my friend Juan at Albarama. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen each other and so we made sure to get together during the holidays. It was great to catch up and have some great food and nice wine – I bet even ol’ grinchy Sledpress would have had a good time. Which just goes to show that she’s been doing this Christmas stuff all wrong…
