Thank goodness for Birthday Month! I mean, January isn’t most people’s favourite month, but these past few weeks have been particularly grim with storm after storm blasting through town. Which of course makes my ever-shrinking life even smaller as I can’t even get out for a hobble when it’s raining (crutches and umbrellas don’t mix well). So it’s been hard keeping my spirits up. I decided to ask my GP if she would request a new traumatology appointment for me (based on the x-ray I had taken in October, might work) but it was a three-week wait just to get a phone appointment with her. Anyhow, that happens on Monday and I’ve prepared my notes so I don’t forget anything. Wish me luck. I’m so tired.

Last but not least for this year’s birthday lunch celebrations… I finally got together with Reyes! We’ve been trying all month but what with one thing or the other it didn’t happen until now. But it was well worth the wait. Reyes had never been to Desacato and so off we went, stopping on the way for a quick sherry at Manolo Cateca (happily the rain held off). A fabulous feast in the best company… and there was even “cake” (actually a smoked dark chocolate mousse with crunchy salt and orange peel). Then a penúltima at Ramón’s Gran Café España and just as I was arriving home the rain started up again. A perfect day.

Chef Pablo Carrasco is one of Los Chicos de Petit.

So hey, I finally crept up over the 12K mark on Instagram (seems like I was stuck at 11.9K forever). I do wish there was an alternative as I’d like to “un-meta” myself, but for now it’s still “good for business”. Anyhow, thank you followers! Meanwhile, those tapas don’t pay for themselves, so if you’d like to make a small contribution (always appreciated) here’s the Tip Jar.
