Had a lovely time out last night. Some of you may remember that when I was in Asilah with Susan last year we met an artist in the Medina called Tachfin. He told us he was planning to have an exhibition of his work in Sevilla, which finally happened in December. I had been planning on going and, as usual, left it until the last night … and even then I almost didn’t go because of the cold and I was feeling so tired. But I’m very glad I made the effort because it was great seeing Tachfin again and meeting his ex-wife and good friend, Violeta. We had a few tapas at the  Galería Taberna Anima (very cool venue) and chatted until quite late. Hoping to stay in touch with both of them. Oh, and Tachfin gave me one of his watercolours as a birthday present!

You can see some of Tachfin’s paintings below the links…

christmas

This is some of the stuff I did yesterday so that I could just sit back and enjoy Christmas Eve today. After yoga class (last one till January 8th) I met my friend Juan for a Christmas brekky and I was very surprised to see he had a prezzie for me – a book! Which I shall look forward to reading over the holidays. Then I met Nog and we did some food shopping, getting a whack of veggies at the neighbourhood greengrocer and then heading to the supermarket where we got the main course for Christmas dinner: a small leg of lamb, some pork ribs and – a totally spur of the moment purchase – a few quails (don’t ask).

Then it was home to do quite a few house chores, whilst enjoying some surprisingly good cava (at just 1.95€ a bottle). So now the bookshelves are all cleaned and organised, floors are washed, the Christmas tree lights are fixed, and I also finally got the “azahar sevilla forum” up and running (except for “decorating”), thanks to Andy.  Oh, and I put that very pretty festive WP wallpaper on my iPhone. And so, casa az is looking very Christmassy and there is nothing left to do but watch some favourite Christmas films, prepare food, and enjoy one of the best Christmases ever.

cancer, fast, photohunt

Today’s Photohunter theme is “fast”.

Me in hospital, breaking my fast after ten days with no solid food.
And yes, the hospital food is as bad as it looks.
