peter

A shout out to my flatmate and longtime friend Peter. Because I honestly don’t know how I’d be getting along without his help right now. Especially since the KNEE happened… he’s been hanging my laundry up on the roof for me because not only would walking up to the roof be challenging, doing it with a basket full of wet laundry would actually be impossible. He also takes the rubbish down to the bins (a five minute walk that would now take me 15). He changes the cat sand, does a lot of the household chores (while I do all the cooking and household management, making sure rent and bills are paid, etc, dealing with repairs, landlord issues, etc).

He is also my sous chef… all those great meals you see me posting on my azahar instagram? He’s peeled all the onions, garlic, potatoes… AND he does the washing up! Anyhow, just to say that we may drive each other crazy at times, but it turns out that after 20 years we’ve found a way of sharing a space and our lives, and that’s it’s actually nice. Thanks Peter!

cat day 2024

It’s International Cat Day! 😻 My Spanish cats over the years, from 1992 to present day… Luna, Morcilla and Loki as kittens on top, below are the beautiful Lua, Azar and Sunny. Now l just have Morcilla (who owns my heart) and Luna (total weirdo but l love her anyhow). But each of them were – and are – such lovely blessings and I can’t imagine these past 32 years without them. All totally different personalities who added so much to my life, and who helped me learn about myself too.

hairball season

So twice in one week my darling Morcilla horked up massive hairballs (and their accompanying ick) all over the bed while I was out requiring emergency sheet washing. This has led to two new practices at Casa Azahar: daily malt & wet combing and closing my bedroom door when I’m not at home. AND WELL. The hardship, the indignity… you can literally see the sulk here. Her back to me (but not ears) and clearly punishing me by choosing to lie on cold hard paper (not the various soft options all around the living room). That’ll show me. Malt session below…

nre towels

I’m on a roll here. After checking how often I should replace pillows (FYI turned out to be every 1-2 years and I was way behind) I decided to check towels and – eep. Same. Well okay, not as bad as the pillow situation as it turns out I last bought new towels in 2021 and google says it should be between 2-5 years so I’m still in the running. You see, there is a reason I keep this fascinating blog going! How else could I check back on this stuff?

Anyhow, found these lovely towels at 50% off at El Corte Inglés and they are now freshly washed, sun dried, plump and soft and hanging in my bathroom as we speak. Goodbye old loofah towels! How’s your summer going, but the way?

new pillows

The other day I looked up how often pillows should be replaced and the answer was EVERY 1-2 YEARS. Oops. So off I went to El Corte Inglés and found these on sale. Seems to be getting harder to find washable pillows and I really don’t like those squishy memory foam ones. Anyhow, how often do you replace your pillows? I remember mentioning washing mine on Twitter once (because I’m interesting that way 😉) and omg I couldn’t believe the number of people who never wash their pillows. Looking forward to enjoying these guys on Sunday (aka clean sun-dried sheet day).
