I passed this house the other day and felt pangs of longing, remembering how wonderful it was when I also had orange trees blossoming in front of my balcony windows. Ah well… azahar season is almost over now, with the returning RAIN blasting most of the blossoms off the trees. But as always, it was amazing while it lasted.

Ten days ago I was painting my toenails and wearing sandals. Since then the weather has been “variable” to say the least. The past two days I’ve even had to put the heat on again. I know I’ll be complaining about the HOT weather before long, but it would sure be nice not to have to wear tights and shoes.

Along with the azahar blossoming this week it was also my first time wearing sandals this year (!!!). Which required a quick paint job on the ol’ toes – very slapdash as you can see, but it was okay for an evening out. So now I am thinking of getting a professional pedicure to fix this mess and also to prep my feet for the hardships of a long hot summer. If anyone local can recommend a good place to go that would be great. I’ve never done this before!

My favourite time of year! The azahar started blossoming this week and now the whole city smells like heaven. I do miss having orange trees in my street, but it’s also a good “excuse” to get out for walks. Wish you guys could smell it.

It was time to get out The Quilt this week, and Luna lost no time letting me know where she wanted to spend the rest of the winter. I may join her. 😉

So I have managed to hold out a full three days longer than last year, but it is finally time to say “hasta pronto!” to my sandals and start wearing tights & shoes again. Sad, sad feet… 😦

I know we need the rain, but it’s so hard to wish for it when the sky is this beautiful (and I can still wear sandals!). I was thinking that Anna @annalibera would bring rain with her from Galicia when she visits next week (like she usually does!), but they are in the middle of a drought up there so who knows what will happen.
A quick check back (my goodness this daily blog posting thang is useful 😉 ) shows me that I didn’t have to start wearing tight & shoes until November 7th last year, so there are probably still a couple of weeks of sandal weather left.
How’s the weather where you are?

Nope, not going out today. What are you guys doing?
It’s that time of year… red or black?
A typical autumnal scene in Sevilla – the first of the chestnut roasters appearing on street corners. Though with temps at 35º all week it somehow doesn’t look right. Some have suggested that the charcoal brazier wasn’t unecessary…
