What a week it’s been! I got back from my holiday in Málaga on Sunday evening and was quite looking forward to a tapas tour that had been booked for the next evening. Little did I know that Simon, Clare and Joe were about to become good friends. The tour started off pleasantly and we were all having such a good time by the time it finished that we ended up at my favourite rooftop bar having a few drinks …

Last night’s sunset.
And today I’m going home. It’s been a fabulous week. I worked, I played, I relaxed and had fun. Had the best evening on Friday when I finally got to meet Michelle Chaplow and her husband Chris – they treated us to a lovely seafood dinner at Andrés Maricuchi. And this afternoon we’re going to meet Jason for a pre-lunch drink. But now I’m ready to go home, snibble the cats (oh, how I’ve missed them!), get back to the gym – and also get back to work. While away I got a booking for a tapas tour for tomorrow night! And there is also some other exciting news I’ll be sharing with you soon.
This really has been the best summer ever.
Below you can see a few more happy Málaga memories.

Going to Málaga sometimes feel like I’m carrying on a love affair with another city. What if Sevilla finds out? I’d really hate to have to choose between them. Honestly, nobody was more surprised than me when Málaga stole a piece of my heart last summer. Up until then I had never considered living anywhere else but in my beloved Sevilla, but I suddenly found myself checking out areas of town that felt like “home” in the same way that my street in Sevilla does. I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t decide between beachfront or city centre, so just as well that this isn’t a decision I’ll have to make anytime soon, especially if I can keep having occasional visits like this week coming up…

So, who wants to come to Sevilla?
Some of you may recall that, just before I got sick, I tried organising a blogfriends meet here, which for obvious reasons never got off the ground. But a recent comment by Toybox made me think that it might be a good idea to try this again, especially as there are more and more cheap flights to Sevilla. And, depending on how many people come, I could find a nice inexpensive apartment for everyone to share. It also seems like a nice way of celebrating the mid-way point of my “six month reprieve” and I think it would be a very pleasant weekend getaway.
Sometime late September to mid-October would be a good time as the weather should still be quite nice and not too hot, but really it would just depend on when people can make it. So, let me know what you think. I’ve also put up a page for queries and suggestions – and to sign up – which you can find on the page bar (look up) or by clicking on this link…
