Malaga, wines

Off to Málaga again! Well, maybe.

Not a holiday this time though. And no, I cannot afford this in the slightest, but it kind of just happened … or well, it’s almost happened. It all started a couple of weeks ago when María Paz told me she had to drive down to Málaga to pick up friends at the airport and said if I wanted to take some time off (she knows I love Málaga) that she could give me a lift and drop me off, and that she would also be glad of the company. I told her I wasn’t able to take holidays but later I thought it might be a good opportunity to visit the Málaga vineyards. You may recall that I’ve been working with a client on her social media stuff and so a visit to the vineyards and bodega would not only be interesting but would also help with writing the blog posts. And of course a couple of days staying at Manolo’s fabulous apartment wouldn’t be hard to take. But things haven’t quite turned out as planned…

dinner, fried fish, friends

Got fried last night. Along with Nog and Jessica. It was all very impromptu and actually started with a twitter post the other day. Luckily Jessica got in touch in the afternoon as it turned out things were getting out of control and I had way too much food for two. Which also meant she was able to bring over the mystery cheese. And wine. Oh yes, we all had lots of wine and stayed up much too late…

For the whole food story check out azahar’s kitchen.

rice workshop

classes, food, rice

Like me, twitter friend AnnaLibera has a foodie alterego – hers is Panepanna. A trained chef, Anna also gives cooking classes in her home. Yesterday she was hosting a rice workshop and I was invited along as “guest twitterer”. It was fun. Anna not only showed us how to make three rice dishes (supplì, pilaf & risotto) but also had everyone take part in each stage. So it was very hands-on, especially when it came to making the supplì (breaded & fried rice balls filled with mozzarella). I abstained from getting my hands sticky so that I could send Twitter updates and also take some photos.

So, a nice day. I walked there and back (about 45 minutes each way) which was fine on the way there at 10.30 in the morning, but not so comfortable in the mid-afternoon HEAT on the way back. I’ve just heard it’s going up to 40º today … El Calor has arrived in Sevilla.

I’ve also posted about the workshop on azahar’s Sevilla blog.

monument, photohunt

Today’s Photohunt theme is “memorial”.

To the best damn radishes I’ve ever eaten.

cancer, friends, hospitals, pet scan, tapas

After all was said and done my “scary” hospital day yesterday turned out quite well. I’d got up early for yoga class and tried to keep busy doing biz stuff at home later, but I was getting more and more nervous as the day went on. And it was silly because I KNEW that this oncology appointment was just going to be about setting up my next PET scan, but unlike going to get my port flushed out (which I can now do on my own!), actually having to talk to the oncologist makes the whole cancer thing feel more real and threatening somehow. But it went well. Had a nice chat with doctor Ana and, after a bit of consternation on her part, she agreed to let me have the scan early in June, which was what I’d been hoping for. I have so many things on the go that I want to know as soon as possible if I’m going to be okay for the next few months. Also, if this next scan is clean, it’ll be the first summer in three years that I haven’t been on chemo…
