christmas

This is some of the stuff I did yesterday so that I could just sit back and enjoy Christmas Eve today. After yoga class (last one till January 8th) I met my friend Juan for a Christmas brekky and I was very surprised to see he had a prezzie for me – a book! Which I shall look forward to reading over the holidays. Then I met Nog and we did some food shopping, getting a whack of veggies at the neighbourhood greengrocer and then heading to the supermarket where we got the main course for Christmas dinner: a small leg of lamb, some pork ribs and – a totally spur of the moment purchase – a few quails (don’t ask).

Then it was home to do quite a few house chores, whilst enjoying some surprisingly good cava (at just 1.95€ a bottle). So now the bookshelves are all cleaned and organised, floors are washed, the Christmas tree lights are fixed, and I also finally got the “azahar sevilla forum” up and running (except for “decorating”), thanks to Andy.  Oh, and I put that very pretty festive WP wallpaper on my iPhone. And so, casa az is looking very Christmassy and there is nothing left to do but watch some favourite Christmas films, prepare food, and enjoy one of the best Christmases ever.

Much more minimalist than in previous years, but still very pretty.

sunny spain?

In case any of you were feeling envious…

This is an iPhone screenshot taken early yesterday morning (martes) by a Twitter friend who lives in Sevilla. I actually don’t remember a time when it went below freezing here, though it probably has. But yesterday I woke up with the thermostat in the bedroom at 12ºC (brrrr) and I had to literally dust off my winter coat to go out – I don’t think I wore it at all last winter. But at least yesterday was sunny. The forecast for the rest of this week looks rather dire and I don’t like my chances of getting the laundry to dry.

Well, at least I’m not in Deadmonton!
How’s the weather where you are?

christmas angel

In case you’ve never seen an angel before…this is Isabel.

If you haven’t read the story about Isabel’s wonderful generosity and how she totally saved my holiday in Málaga last weekend, you can find it here. Someone asked if I had offered to pay her for taking me to the train station, but I knew she would have never accepted money and so I got her this lovely box of Belgian chocolates while I was away. And it was hard enough getting her to accept those! She kept waving them away and telling me not to be “tonta”. And when I asked if I could take her photo and told her that she was already “famosa” on my blog, she turned to the shop assistant and said, “I just did the tiniest of favours for this girl and she’s making such a big fuss over it!”

The tinest of favours. Yeah right. She only saved my holiday and renewed my faith in human kindness with her very spontaneous act of generosity.  No big deal.
