just what the doctor ordered…

. . . a housecall from nursemyra!

(and look what the Spanish sun has done to her hair!)

It started off as possibly disastrous when the bus I was supposed to take out to the airport to meet nursemyra didn’t show up, so I ended up being half an hour late. But as luck would have it, her flight from Barcelona had been delayed and so five minutes after I got there I saw the girl with red streaks in her hair coming out of the arrivals exit.

An hour or so later she was all set up in her adorable apartment and we got down to the very serious business of finding a COLD BEER in an air conditioned establishment … we chose Modesto as it was just around the corner. Afterwards we took a walk through the centre of town to a supermarket so nursemyra could stock up on a few kitchen essentials and then we went up to casa az so she could meet da boyz. Nog got home shortly after that and we all went out for a few tapitas at one of our favourite places, Enrique Becerra, which we hadn’t been to since before the op.

All in all, a lovely first day together. In keeping with the light & fluffly distraction theme we ended up talking about: family, friends, our homes, blogging, leaving home, hair, tv series, Barcelona, tapas & wine, architecture, work, books, films, icecream, cats, relationships, art, coffee . . .

Gee, I wonder what we’ll talk about today. 🙂

yay! visitors!

My blog pal healingmagichands and her husband Jim are in Sevilla.

I first met hmh on h2g2 almost two years ago and she started her blog here on WordPress shortly after I did. Given her love of photography and writing, the blog format suits her much better than h2g2. I like it better too.

Anyhoo, they arrived in Lisbon early yesterday morning when their cruise boat landed and then drove to Sevilla … got here just in time for a late lunch at Modesto (those are post-lunch photos up there). Then a visit to casa az where they got to meet ‘da boyz’ and afterwards we took a short walk around the centre so that Ellie and Jim could work out where they were and how to get places (important stuff like the supermarket and where to find Mephisto sandals) …

Looking forward to a very nice week. It’s great when friends visit. 🙂

Thanks to Pipocas I am now addicted to Six Feet Under.

She lent me the first series a couple of weeks ago, which I devoured pretty quickly. Then I picked up series 2 when we met for lunch yesterday (and did another dvd/book swap) at Casa Roman – missed a couple of good photo ops for the tapas blog that I’m still kicking myself about f_cross.gif.

Also inadvertently spoiled a couple of upcoming surprises in the series by glancing through that Wiki link. But after getting through a slightly drunken post-lunch recuperation English class yesterday evening I made some Orville’s (hey – new popcorn mule coming in on Sunday!) and watched a couple of episodes. Does anyone else like this series as much as Pipocas and I do?

[Note to self: do not schedule classes after lunches with Pipocas]

friday’s lunch…

. . . was very yummy

Went out with Pipocas again, this time to Modesto for a fabulous Friday afternoon lunch. Pipocas had never eaten there before and we eschewed the more touristy (though very pretty) outdoor terrace and upstairs dining room in favour of sitting at the bar, which is my favourite place to eat there. It’s so much cosier and you get to chat with the barmen and the guys in the kitchen. I love that.

We started off with a fritura, then had some grilled pork tenderloin in mushroom sauce and finally tried the razorback clams. Meanwhile, our neighbours were having some interesting looking things and they were very nice about letting me take some pics of their food too. 🙂

The new pics are here (photos 17-22)

Today is Nog’s 55th birthday and it was also exactly five years ago that he & I first ‘met’ on h2g2. So it seemed a good excuse reason to go back to Eslava , this time to check out their restaurant. I’d first visited the tapa bar there just a short while ago.

It was a very nice meal. . .
