So this made my Saturday. I was already planning to meet up with my Instagram pal Paul, who is back in town for a week. Then I got a surprise text message from the fabulous Victor saying “SURPRISE! Guess who’s in town??” So in the end Paul, Peter, Victor and I all met up for a lovely lunch.

Last time I saw Victor was on March 11, 2020 when he gave me what was to be my last hug for a year and a half. Of course we’ve stayed in touch, but I haven’t been able to get down to Málaga and he hasn’t made it up here. But now he is back to work on his tours that pass through Sevilla. Normally he only has an hour or so to spare while his clients have lunch on their own, but this time we had a whole three hours! And it was great. If things work out then I hope to be in Málaga for a few days over Christmas, a tradition of mine that has been put on hold the past couple of years.

28 anniversary

On September 16th 1993 (at 8 pm!) I arrived in Sevilla from Salamanca with two cats in tow, and I’ve been living here ever since. Today will be quite a different celebration from last year’s as I will be celebrating my 28th Sevilla anniversary this evening with a Sevilla Tapas Tour, which somehow feels appropriate. I mean, whodda thought 28 years ago that I would end up becoming Queen of Tapas? Had a lovely pre-anniversary lunch with Peter yesterday at a (fabulous!) newly opened restaurant, Plato Jondo, but today I am saving myself. And it will be nice to go out in the evening, which is still something I don’t usually do. So here is to 28 years and hopefully many more! 🥂

A few scenes from yesterday’s Sevilla Sherry Tasting… my first this year and it was so much fun. My new venue for this is the fabulous Casa Morales, and I couldn’t be happier. Great location with excellent wines and tapas. Salud! 🥂

happy monday

Last night I fell asleep to the sound of rain falling on the patio roof, something I’d not experienced for several months, and thought about how nice it is to listen to the rain when you’re all dry and cosy inside, especially when all tucked up in bed with a couple of cats. Then I thought about the wildfires that had been raging in the Málaga mountains since last Wednesday and hoped that these couple of rainy days would help put them out.

Woke up this morning to the wonderful news that the fires were now under control and sent the above tweet from bed… a few minutes later it dawned on me that IT’S NOT MONDAY, IT’S TUESDAY. Oops. So I corrected myself in a follow up tweet but not before getting a few “you need coffee!” type of replies. Which was true of course, but it’s equally true that I often don’t know what day it is any more. Whatever! It’s a happy day. And I’m extra happy because I am doing my first sherry tasting of the year this afternoon. So Happy Tuesday everyone!  🙂
