As it is now officially the Christmas Season I find myself in a festive mood. Especially as a couple of months ago I thought I would only have one more Christmas. And okay, there are obviously no guarantees, but I am a lot more hopeful than I was. Which is wonderful because I really do love Christmas. This weekend the tree and other decorations are going up at casa az.

So I had an idea. I was thinking that some of my blog friends (that’s you!) might like to get together some time on Christmas day for a short conference call on Skype with myself, Nog and other blog friends.  I did this once with zoomer, Anneke and others – there were five of us in total – and it was quite fun.

Anyhow, just throwing the idea out there.  If there is anyone in particular you’d like to chat with let me know and we can organise times based on where everyone is. And if you don’t have Skype yet you can download it by clicking on the link below and choosing your country.

It’s that time of year again!

This weekend is the official start of the Christmas season here in Spain. Some of you may recall last year when the residents of casa az elfed themselves. and Nog also made a fine dancing Scrooge.  This year you will be entertained by myself and my best friends in Sevilla …  (L to R) Pablo, Carmen, Nog and Pipocas.

Above is the Classic Christmas version. This year three new versions are also being offered, which you can see below. f_elf.gif

Be sure to have your speakers on!

(the links stay active until January 15th)

Pipocas dragged me out of the house yesterday afternoon for art and burgers. I wasn’t sure if I was up to it as the op was just over a week ago and I’m still in a fair bit of pain and discomfort. But as the weather forecast was calling for RAIN until next Tuesday, I thought I’d better try and get out. And it really was worth the effort. . .

hanging out

hanging-out

Well, it’s a beautiful morning here … watched the sun come up about an hour ago, all apricot coloured on the horizon. Nog’s gone to the cafeteria to have brekky and then he’ll head home to shower, snibble the boys and probably make a few sandwiches for today. Although my op is scheduled for 3 o’clock it could really happen anytime after 11, so Nog wants to get back here by then.

The Team should be here soon for a quick visit (mostly to reassure me – they know how nervous I get). Then I’ll shower while my bedsheets are changed and after that just hang out, waiting for THEM to come and get me.

Hope I’ll be back soon. Or even just back (eep!) …

You’re probably getting a bit tired of sending best wishes, etc, so random chat would be just fine.
What are you guys up to today? 🙂
