cats, christmas, holidays, Malaga

Got home from Málaga yesterday evening … I was so excited to see Azar again! As soon as I opened the door he started MEOWING like crazy. Then he ran under the bed and pretended to sulk. But unlike other times he only managed to sulk for about three minutes before coming out and allowing himself to be snibbled. That was when I saw that he had managed to keep himself amused during my absence by dragging clothes out from the storage boxes under the bed and making mincemeat out of a roll of paper towels that had been left on an end table in the livingroom (and not for the first time).

After much snibbling and rolling around on the bed with small black cat I started on the first of several loads of washing that need doing and then … I put up the Christmas tree! Right on schedule.

Today I’m going to work on my Málaga photos and will hopefully have them up on Fotki to show you all a bit later. It was a wonderful long weekend and great to get away, but also so very nice to be home again.

11870.com is a website that you can use to save and share reviews, pictures and videos of your favorite places and services and have them all close-at-hand. I’ve been a member there since August 2008 and usually add new restaurants and tapas bars (this is my 11870 page). About a week ago I got an email from one of my Seville contacts there, Javier, saying that he was organising a meet, and after a bit of back-and-forthing with group emails we ended up going to Puracepa last Thursday evening. Those are the boys up there – I was the only woman and the only guiri (foreigner). A wonderful time was had by all with excellent food & wine and very interesting conversations. By the end of the evening we were all laughing together like old friends and looking forward to the next meet up, which should be sometime in the next couple of months.

You can see more photos below…

Has a nice ring to it, doncha think?

[updated: 10 November with pic & new ending]

Yeah, don’t ask. It was one of those spontaneous moments. I was showing the apartment next door (yes, another tenant has flown the coop) and mentioned that I was thinking of finally seeing Inglourious Basterds as it was going to be the last week for it, and the prospective tenant said it was the best film he’d seen all year. Five minutes later one of the present tenants, Nieves, showed up at my door saying she wanted to go to the cinema with me. And five minutes after that we headed out with Nog, not even remotely suspecting we were going to end up not seeing the film and wanting to open a B&B…

rainy-rain

It’s been raining all week!

Been drying laundry on the clothesrack indoors, finally had to get out the duvet (not the big winter one yet, but still…). If this keeps up I’m going to have to start wearing shoes – and it’s not even November! I am soooo not ready for winter. 😦

What’s the weather doing where you are?
