Ten days ago I was painting my toenails and wearing sandals. Since then the weather has been “variable” to say the least. The past two days I’ve even had to put the heat on again. I know I’ll be complaining about the HOT weather before long, but it would sure be nice not to have to wear tights and shoes.

It is sooooooooooo great having the sun back! And while there are still a few rainy days in our future it seems our reservoirs are well topped up now, so there is no danger of water shortages this summer. All I want now is that we have enough sunny days to enjoy the AZAHAR… buds are all out and just need a bit of sunshine to coax them to open up. My favourite time of year.

Gotta say that when you live somewhere that boasts having over 300 clear-sky sunny days a year, it’s particularly ANNOYING when it clouds over during a rare lunar event. Ah well…

It was time to get out The Quilt this week, and Luna lost no time letting me know where she wanted to spend the rest of the winter. I may join her. 😉

It’s been RAINING here in Sevilla the past two days, something that we are all quite grateful for. Well, except for getting the laundry dry. But it also means that it feels like “stay at home” weather. So after going to see my GP today (nope, still no clue as to what THE PAIN is about) and doing some shopping, I came home and made a totally comfort food rainy day lunch. Garlicky pan-grilled swordfish, stir-fried courgetti and twice-fried chips with soy mayo. And well, have been home ever since. Doing this and that. A bit of work stuff (as always). Netflixing with cats. In PJs.
Sun will be back with us tomorrow.

So I have managed to hold out a full three days longer than last year, but it is finally time to say “hasta pronto!” to my sandals and start wearing tights & shoes again. Sad, sad feet… 😦

I know we need the rain, but it’s so hard to wish for it when the sky is this beautiful (and I can still wear sandals!). I was thinking that Anna @annalibera would bring rain with her from Galicia when she visits next week (like she usually does!), but they are in the middle of a drought up there so who knows what will happen.
A quick check back (my goodness this daily blog posting thang is useful 😉 ) shows me that I didn’t have to start wearing tight & shoes until November 7th last year, so there are probably still a couple of weeks of sandal weather left.
How’s the weather where you are?

Nope, not going out today. What are you guys doing?
A typical autumnal scene in Sevilla – the first of the chestnut roasters appearing on street corners. Though with temps at 35º all week it somehow doesn’t look right. Some have suggested that the charcoal brazier wasn’t unecessary…
