I know I know… anyhow. Stopped in a Corte Inglés yesterday to look for towels for Peter (which seriously need replacing) but didn’t find any suitable ones on sale. Then I saw this for half price! I do have two duvet covers so I can swap them out but one of them is annoyingly slightly too small so the duvet buckles inside. My fault, I had cut down a larger one and (obvs) cut one side a bit too much. I don’t usually go for prints but this one is so soft and pretty… and now I can’t wait for it to be October!

It’s Caturday AND International Cat Day and so here all my beautiful Spanish cats over the years… Luna, Morcilla and Loki as kittens on top, below are Lua, Azar and Sunny. Luna is now 15 and Morcilla is 13, the rest still live on in my heart 🐾🤍

This absolute legend was born 33 years ago today in Salamanca and a month or so later we moved to Sevilla together with his mother Lua. Sunny was supposed to be his “milk name” until I thought of something better, except it turned out he really did have a sunny disposition, so it stuck. We had 16 wonderful years together. He was my big guy, my dude, the sunshine of my life.

Been enjoying these two salads a lot this summer. The top one is a chopped guacamole salad which is simply chopping up the onion, tomato and jalapeños into a bowl, grating in the garlic clove with a bit of lime zest, s & p, then mixing well with a 50/50 lime/olive oil dressing. Add the chopped avocado and parsley, toss again and you’re done.
This one below is a roasted red pepper salad, but I “cheat” and use a jar of roasted piquillo peppers (and so can you 😉). Sauté 2-3 sweet onions with about 10 sliced garlic cloves in evoo, bit of s & p. Once the onions start to caramelise add the piquillo peppers, let that cook a bit and then let it cool down to room temp before serving. Great as a side dish or topping. Enjoy!
