sunny-sunday

Well, not really. Especially because it was such a gorgeous sunny Sunday and I was feeling just fine after my week-long post ferry ride from hell ordeal. I woke up early and started working on Sevilla Tapas, which I’ve actually been doing all week. Check it out and let me know what you think of the changes. Kim has been very generously helping me out with some geeky stuff I don’t know how to do, which has really made a difference. And today I stuck in a couple affiliate ads, including a way-cool Amazon widget in the sidebar showing books I’ve chosen that relate to Spain, food and travel.

By about noon I was just starting to go cross-eyed when Nog asked if I would like to go out for lunch with him. What with me being away, and then in bed a lot of this past week, we haven’t actually seen each other much lately, so it sounded like a very good idea. Nog suggested Yebra, because we hadn’t been there since zoomer was in town last October, and it’s also a 45-minute walk away, which meant we would have a nice walk there and back…

Today will be quite something else. I need to fast from about 10am and then start drinking that gawd awful strawberry-flavoured barfium snot around 4 o’clock. Then I’ll walk up to Pip’s office at 6 and we’ll head off to the hospital for my CT scan.

Ah well, at least I have some nice memories …

This is where Flor lives … beautiful, isn’t it?

Who’d have thought that going back to yoga class would not only be good for my health & well-being, but also for my social life? Last week I was walking into the gym at the same time as one of the new yoga members (well, new since I left last May) , who said hello to me and asked my name. I was expecting the usual confused response that Spanish people have when they first hear my name, but instead this woman said, “is that with a W?”. Ha! It turned out that she wasn’t Spanish at all, but a lovely and vibrant planetary citizen called Flor …
