malaga 2013-001Here I go again! After a crazy three months of work-work-work it’s looking like December (and probably January) are going to be a bit slow. So I’m going to “sign off” for two months and work on setting up my other projects, which I hope will be ready to go by the time the spring season arrives.

And so of course now I have to go to Málaga! One: because I’m not working much other than on my projects (and I will take my laptop with me). Two: because I want to visit my friends there. Three: because I really really really *miss* Málaga like an ache in my heart. So what the heck.

I’m also going to have a totally new Málaga experience this time by staying in a hotel (!!!). Which means I can’t take Morcilla with me, but even my friend Victor said that three nights wasn’t worth disrupting her life for. Which of course is true. I know that Morcilla will be fine now hanging out with Loki and Luna, with Peter to look after them all. But what about ME??? So far I’ve only spent two nights away from my little girl, which was hard enough…

But yes, it’s exciting to think that tomorrow I’ll be getting on the train to Málaga yet again. Gosh I love that place. And kind of on the heels of my weekend getaway to Cádiz, I think this mid-week jaunt will be just what I need right now. A bit of a “disconnect”, but also some just hang around with myself time. I’ll have a book or two with me, laptop and iPad (so no, won’t be “disconnected” in that way). I guess I mean just having a change from my usual routine to see how I feel doing something completely different in a different place. Which is why the hotel option will also be interesting, though that was just chance as I got a great deal from a very cool hotel in the new hip part of town. I think it’s gonna be great! My Christmas Holiday.

christmas lights 2013The Christmas lights were turned on last Friday and I love them. Well, all but the tacky purple and pink ones running along the main avenue…

I went out last night to take a few snaps. Really looking forward to Christmas this year. How about you?

The POWER OF TWITTER strikes again! A couple of months ago my friend José Pizarro sent me a Twitter message asking if I could give his friend Sarah some help on her trip here, saying he knew I’d look after her well. And so I got in touch with Sarah by email and we made some plans, including meeting up on the evening she and her husband Matthew arrived (Friday) to take them on a tapas tour. And what a great time it was. We went to three bars and, as Sarah is doing research for a book on marmalage, I think it was especially fun for her to get a recipe from chef José María at our last stop La Azotea. So once again my life has been enriched by simply hanging out on Twitter and continuing to connect with people. Love it.

winter oranges
I know we need rain, but I am loving these bright blue November skies and the oranges in the trees that are getting more and more orange (orangier?) by the day. There have been no November blahs this year.

Usually during a Flamenco & Tapas Tour I end up taking about a hundred photos and maybe – just maybe! – one turns out. This time I was quite pleased to find three that I liked (click on collage to enlarge). Love my job. 🙂
