luna’s op

cats, home, luna, vet

Last week Luna’s operation was postponed due to stormy weather. The prospect of trying to get her to the vet in the pouring rain with neither of us able to use an umbrella (Peter – carrying cat, me – crutches) while attempting to find a taxi… no way. So today was the day and, as it dawned bright and sunny, we were off to see Sonia and team.

A few hours (and 400€!) later we were home again with a very groggy Luna. I made up a little bed for her on the living room floor, with food and water and a litter box nearby, but she kept wanting to be up on the sofa. Sonia had said not to let her climb up on things but in the end I gave in and let her stay on the sofa and put cushions all around on the floor in case she fell off. She didn’t. In fact, she spent most of the time gazing lovingly at her favourite person in the world (hint: it’s not me) and a while later was ready for a little paté and water.

They removed two cysts and various nodes around the nipples and so now we wait for the biopsy to come back. She has to go back on Friday to get the bandage changed, so we might know by then. I’m so nervous. I’ve told her that after spending so much on her operation she owes me at least 5 more years… hope she listens (for a change). Oh Luna, please be okay… 💙

Kind of like the Christmas blues, but even sadder somehow.

casa azahar, home, sevilla

My building was renovated back in the early 90s and I have to say they did a lovely job of it. Just two apartments, with two shops on the ground floor. I live on the second floor and share a light-filled glassed-in patio with my downstairs neighbour. We have marble floors, wood doors and window frames, charming plaster ceilings and – one of the things I love best about this Casa Azahar – a gorgeous tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower. Ok, the kitchen is a bit poky, but I bought a small IKEA pantry that sits in the hallway outside the kitchen door that helps. There’s also a shared rooftop space (azotea) which is mostly used for hanging laundry, but during Covid lockdown both neighbour Encarni and I took advantage of it to get some much needed fresh air, sunshine and exercise. 

The decoration throughout the house is classic, I think mostly done by Encarni who has lived here since the beginning… so there are a few fake plants here and there in the entrance and stairway, as well as a few tiled depictions of this or that saint on the walls as you go up… and there are also these lovely glass wall light fixtures. I didn’t pay them much mind other than to notice how pretty they are UNTIL… I had my new mattress delivered last month. (psa reminder: this is the world’s most boring blog – continue at your own risk)… Continue reading →

Today Peter and I put our spare change together and there was a LOT of it. Time to make some schrapnel bags for Nico. I started doing this from time to time a few years ago but (obviously) haven’t made any up for a while. At first Nico didn’t like them until I explained that they were counted out and were exactly 2 euros per bag, so he could just tell them that in any shop, etc, no problem. And I pointed out that they are better than the 1 euro coin I usually give him. Ever since then when I give him a coin he asks “y las chicas??”, so I’ll definitely be stocked up after this.
