Finally saw the splendid Murillo exhibit at the Bellas Artes museum and highly recommend you do so too before it ends on March 17th. A unique opportunity to see 72 paintings together for the first time. Top tip! Go between 3-4 pm to avoid the massive queues.

In an attempt to “lighten my load” and also help out a bit, I’ve devised this new way of getting rid of THAT bowl of small change – YOU KNOW THE ONE. I mean, these days if I am going to get 1 or 2 cents back from a purchase I just tell them to keep it, although having a few of these coins helps when you need them – “that’ll be 1.02€ ma’am” – in order to not get a whack of small change back.
So what I’ve done here is put together a few 2-euro bags of money, with a few 10, 20 and 50 cent coins in each bag, and then topped up with 1, 2 and 5 cent ones. This haul comes to about 15 euros, but you know, it’s just been sitting around for years. So from now on I’ll keep one bag in my purse to hand out to my “usual street guy”, until they are all gone and I can start over again.

Back to the splendid Portuguese Pavilion for this year’s Premios Gurmé. Nice to see some of my friends nominated and awarded, and later to hang out with them at the after party. But next time I won’t wear heels!

Remember when I found out that my first ever article in Decanter Magazine had been published? Well, I finally got my own copy when Julie brought one for me. I know it sounds silly, but holding the actual magazine in my hands is somehow even more exciting than seeing it posted online. Super thrilled about this.
