CT scan today, following up on the one from the end of June, which was “inconclusive”, just like all the previous ones have been. So I will find out in 10 days or so… something? Anyhow, it was a long day because I couldn’t sleep and then couldn’t eat or drink all day (the appointment was at 3.30 pm) but I was pretty much a nervous wreck and didn’t want to eat anyhow. After it was over I took a taxi back home, which wasn’t usual for me because I usually taxi to the hospital and walk back, as I like to get my steps in. But somehow the day was feeling too hard to get through. On the way home I passed my “local bar” Bodega La Hermandad and decided to stop in for a cold beer (the nurse did say I should drink lots after the test!) and ended up also having some Emergency Jamón. And as I sat there just trying to feel normal again, suddenly I did. I felt at home and comfortable, and the food was very welcome after 18 hours of fasting. Then home for a hot shower to wash the hospital off of me. Hoping for an “all clear” this time or, at the very least, another “inconclusive” result. Fingers crossed.

Christmas came early today when this fabulous package of deliciousness arrived. I am invited to take part in a special zoom Sherry Week tasting and pairing this Thursday and was told I’d be receiving the wines and some food products beforehand. But I sure wasn’t expecting all this! Can’t wait to open everything up.

Sherry Week has arrived! And my Sevilla Sherry Tasting is being offered on the international website. But then this morning I woke up and thought… do I really want to do that Instagram sherry pairing thing AGAIN? It began by accident last year and it ended up being quite a nice thing, helping people pair different dishes with different sherries, which I have stored here on my Instagram stories. But it was also a fuck of a lot of work! Choosing the 6 wines, then which 3 dishes I would pair with each one, then hunting down photos and finally writing the text and uploading everything not just on my Instagram page, but also to the stories, and later to Twitter… omg. Anyhow, as you can see, I’m doing it again. So PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT! 😅
