morning cats
So I’m off to Málaga in about half an hour. Really looking forward to my Christmas getaway but I am sure going to miss these guys. That’s me underneath them, by the way. A typical winter morning at casa az…

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.

frizz ballGot my hair cut today in the usual fashion, as in I woke up and went NEED HAIR CUT NOW! Last time I did this was during my July holiday in Málaga and went to a place there that was recommended by my friend Annie.

As is usually the case, I leave the hairdresser’s with a lovely sleek chin-length bob which lasts for maybe half an hour or so, depending on heat and humidity.

In Málaga it’s even more humid than here and one morning after my haircut I took this pic to prove once and (for all who wonder why I always slick back my HAIR) that it is not a Good Idea for me to let said HAIR do what it wants. Because it does this…

last night malaga
Yesterday I realised I still hadn’t made it down to the beach (!!!) so last night I took a walk over to Pedregalejo, the old fisherman’s village, for a final meal by the sea. And it was a gorgeous evening. It was a delightful 45-minute seaside walk from the centre, during which the sun rather spendidly went down. I also saw tons of frolicking kittehs on a rocky stretch of the walk, passed the new controversial chiringuitos (beach bars) recently put up by the city council, and even saw a bride and groom photo shoot that had them both frolicking in the waves… weird.

I couldn’t decide whether to go to my favourite family-run fish restaurant Andrés Maricuchi or go back to the newly opened Pez Tomillo (actually owned by Sevillano chef Ernesto Malasaña) so in the end I went to both. Had some fabulously crispy lemon boquerones at Maricuchi with a couple of glasses of Botani, then had a small tapa of stewed oxtail with potato purée at Pez Tomillo. And more wine. After which I stumbled to a taxi stand and was happily tucked up in bed with Morcilla by midnight. Nice ending to another wonderful holiday in Málaga.

Now back home catching up on emails and other work, plus sorting through photos. I think it’ll take me at least a week to do all my updates. Oh, and there are tapas tours booked. Lots and lots of them!
