The other day Hannah got in touch. She’s an American who has been living in Santiago de Compostela and is now spending the winter in Cádiz. She found me on Instagram (her account is called A Hungry Pilgrim) and told me she’d like to meet up. So that’s what we did. First stop was Manolo Cateca for a bit of sherry and then a shortish hobble later we were at Zurbarán. And before we knew it Zurbarán was preparing to close up… time just flew! Anyhow, lovely to meet another food-obsessed pal and hopefully we’ll be seeing each other again, either around Cádiz, here or even in Santiago.

sandal ready!

I believe this is the first time I’ve ever been fully prepared for sandal weather! Usually it’s a quick slapdash pedi as I’m heading out the door when the temperature suddenly goes up to 25º. But after so much RAIN these past couple of months I’ve been keeping my eye on the weekly forecast more than usual (mostly to see when I can hang up the laundry) and noticed that this weekend it will indeed be 25º and sunny. So today I popped in at my neighbourhood pedicure place and they said they could take me right away. After a quick trip home (almost next door) to change into sandals and pick up the fresh bottle of my favourite polish that I bought last week, I was back and an hour later I had happy toes. 🙂

I remember last summer I was feeling a bit guilty getting “regular” pedis (think it ended up being three over the season), especially with not working much and being skint. But I’ve decided that a little self care is worth it, and that I’m worth it too. Cannot wait until the weekend. The azahar is still out too. Heaven.

I only noticed when I posted about this week’s Substack piece that I forgot to mention last week’s here (!!). So here it is. Yet another lovely guest post from lovely guest writer, friend and fellow gastro guía Sharon Page. From bread & cheese blues to veggie victory, Sharon’s lived it all. Hope you enjoy, please give it a “like” if you do and maybe even consider becoming a (free or paid) subscriber. 😘
