First it was the blanket, then the duvet… now it’s cats on my lap.
It’s suddenly turned all rainy and chilly. Surely tights and shoes are next. 😦

I have been Twitter pals with @GreatOil (Callum & Anne-Marie) for many years and so it was great to finally meet up in person. We went for lunch at La Azotea and I was given a bottle of their premium evoo, which we sampled with some lovely sourdough bread. It’s unfiltered evoo (40% Picudo 60% Hojiblanca) and has quite a nice peppery kick to it. Very nice.
Lunch was great too!
museo bellver – casa fabiola

The new Museo Bellver, housed in the spectacular Casa Fabiola, opened last week. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this place and, since it is free to residents, I shall be back to visit again and again. It’s such a delightful homage to Sevilla and Andalucia.
Mariano Bellver has donated his private collection, comprising 567 works of art made up of 299 paintings, 112 sculptures, 57 figures in ivory and bone, 44 pieces of furniture, 42 pieces of porcelain and ceramics and 13 clocks. And the building itself is a work of art – definitely worth a visit.

Loki’s favourite place during the day is the guest room, as you can see by all the cat hair on that chair. There is just as much on the bed cover. The girls prefer either my room or the living room during the day. But as it’s getting cooler I expect to see them cuddling up together more. Last night I had to sleep with a light blanket… winter is coming!

This is truly one of my happy places. Sitting at the bar in front of Rafael’s jamón cutting station at Las Teresas. I’ve been coming here for more than 20 years and it always feels like home. My home.
