steinlen kittehsArriving home from my Málaga Getaway I found a post office notice to pick up a letter from Belgium (??) that had arrived while I was away. Huh? So last night I went out for a stroll and stopped by the post office, only to find a rather chunky box from the US, and so I immediately stopped at a friendly bar to order a glass of wine and open the mystery box. Which turned out to be a Christmas prezzie from Sledpress and I LOVE it. From the Metropolitan Museum of Art Store no less… a super cute kitchen set of “Steinlen Cat” oven mitt, pot holder and apron, all with tons of little Azars printed all over them. Of course Morcilla had to get into the action while I was unwrapping and laying everything out on the table for a photo.

The red, black and white goes perfectly with my kitchen colours and it also inspired me to finally hang my red chili pepper lights… wait for that one!

Thank you Sled. What a perfect present!

tree 2013
Put up the tree last night, and also put out a few decorations and other festive chachkas… all of which pretty much has to be dismantled and put away at night. Otherwise the cats (basically Morcilla) will have their way with it all. But it’s nice when I’m here to enjoy it. I’m actually working pretty much flat out all of Christmas week, including the 25th, but it’s also fun to be out and about. What are your Christmas plans?

muello uno sunset
Had a fabulous day walking out to Pedregalejos with my friend David @irlandenmalaga. He brought along his dog Nina and we walked there and back again (about an hour each way) stopping for tapas at two places in Pedregalejos – Andrés Maricuchi and Pez Tomillo. Lovely lazy afternoon walking by the sea – how great does that sound? It was so warm that I ended up taking off my coat and walking in short sleeves. This is a pic of the port just as we got back to town. Then in the evening I met up again with Arpy @andalucinda and Fred @fredshively for a bit of a tapeo and to share some stories. Not a bad Thursday!

más málaga!

malaga 2013-001Here I go again! After a crazy three months of work-work-work it’s looking like December (and probably January) are going to be a bit slow. So I’m going to “sign off” for two months and work on setting up my other projects, which I hope will be ready to go by the time the spring season arrives.

And so of course now I have to go to Málaga! One: because I’m not working much other than on my projects (and I will take my laptop with me). Two: because I want to visit my friends there. Three: because I really really really *miss* Málaga like an ache in my heart. So what the heck.

I’m also going to have a totally new Málaga experience this time by staying in a hotel (!!!). Which means I can’t take Morcilla with me, but even my friend Victor said that three nights wasn’t worth disrupting her life for. Which of course is true. I know that Morcilla will be fine now hanging out with Loki and Luna, with Peter to look after them all. But what about ME??? So far I’ve only spent two nights away from my little girl, which was hard enough…

But yes, it’s exciting to think that tomorrow I’ll be getting on the train to Málaga yet again. Gosh I love that place. And kind of on the heels of my weekend getaway to Cádiz, I think this mid-week jaunt will be just what I need right now. A bit of a “disconnect”, but also some just hang around with myself time. I’ll have a book or two with me, laptop and iPad (so no, won’t be “disconnected” in that way). I guess I mean just having a change from my usual routine to see how I feel doing something completely different in a different place. Which is why the hotel option will also be interesting, though that was just chance as I got a great deal from a very cool hotel in the new hip part of town. I think it’s gonna be great! My Christmas Holiday.

all i want for christmas is you, christmas, sunday song, video

The film Love Actually is 10 years old this year and it’s one of my Christmas “guilty pleasures”. In fact, I think I’ll take it with me to Málaga next week and enjoy watching it on the laptop one evening in my cute hotel room, with a glass or two of something festive.

What’s your Christmas “guilty pleasure”?
