The other day I saw that there was a chick flick on at the cinema – in English! – and asked Pipocas if she wanted to see it. So we made plans to go on Saturday (last night). Then it occurred to me that not only was I going out to the cinema (something I don’t think I’ve done since before my first operation last May) but I was also going out on a Saturday night and that it was going to be a girls’ night out…

Birthdays at casa az traditionally start off with breakfast in bed consisting of lovely hot coffee and these fabulous arabic pastries. And so when I finally re-awoke around 9.30 yesterday morning, Nog brought in the birthday brekkie. It turned out to be a good thing that I hadn’t gone to yoga because I found out today that the first yoga class after the holidays will be tomorrow … imagine how awful it would have been if I had dragged myself out of my warm bed and walked over to the gym in the dark only to find nobody there! So that was a lucky start to what turned out to be rather a serendipitous birthday …

I’ve been playing around with my Fotki albums the past couple of days and came across this widget, which I thought might work well on my Sevilla Tapas blog (the old front page pic I was using was this one). So I went through my files and chose 80 or so of my favourite pics and put them together so that visitors could get a sneak preview of what the various tapas look like. You just click on the pic to get a new tapa.
But you’ll have to go over to Sevilla Tapas to check it out (it won’t work on WordPress.com). And on azahar-sevilla.com I’ve put a different Fotki widget in the sidebar. Let me know what you think.

Had lunch in Sanlúcar de Barrameda yesterday.
It was the first time I’d been out of the house in a week (not including the hospital visit last Wednesday) so I was quite looking forward to getting out and going somewhere nice for lunch with Pipocas. I was also feeling cautious of overdoing it like I did on my first day out after the liver op. And so of course I ended up going on a six-hour trip in order to eat the famous langostinos of Sanlúcar…
