Yay! The package has arrived!
I had been given fair warning by the lovely Sledpress that this specially pre-ordered item would be arriving after my birthday, so to prepare I rewatched Season 2 on the way to Barcelona and back. And now I am about to close up shop for the day, make a wee snack, pour a glass of wine, and ENJOY. Gracias amiga! xx

What a great birthday! I met up with Eduardo @differentspain and Saray @saraypineda for a lunchtime tapeo that lasted until very late in the afternoon. We stopped at three different tapas bars and had lovely snacks at each one. Then Saray had to go so Edu and I went off for a bit of birthday cake and rosé cava. After that I (finally) picked up my train tickets and then spent a quiet and cosy evening at home with the cats. Woke up in the wee hours to the Return of the Christmas Cold and tossed and turned for the rest of the night. Today I’m staying in – and staying warm – so that I will hopefully be in good shape to catch that early train to Barcelona mañana! Feeling both nervous and excited…

Not that every birthday isn’t special but I kind of like that I am 57 today, born in ’57. On the 7th.
So far I’m having a fab day. Started off with my “traditional” birthday pastries in bed, with coffee and cats. Now it’s off to the gym and then I’m meeting friends for lunch (follow @SevillaTapas for birthday tweets). Oh, and there’s also Barcelona to look forward to.
Thanks to everyone for being here on my 57th saucy birthday.

Today is traditionally the day when Los Reyes Magos (the magic kings, or three wise men) bring gifts to the children of all ages in Spain. But this year my gifts came by Magic Sled… love them!

Continuing the “tradition of hope” started on January 3rd 2009 when I posted my first ever Photohunt entry. The theme that week was “hope” and I put up a photo of my daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it. Since then I have posted a similar photo on this date and hope with all my heart that I’ll be here to do the same next year.
This photo also serves as this week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge “beginning”… if all goes well this year it will indeed be a new beginning. I will get the chemo port removed, and PET scans will only be once a year. Fingers crossed my friends.
Check out what other Friday Foto Finders are posting over here!
