Hello lovely peeps,
I forgot to photograph a postcard and as I can't photograph them at night under the lamp (too much glare), I am showing a card that I have sent rather than received, as it was already on my computer:
It's a fun map of my region Andalucia. If you look closely, you'll be able to distinguish 8 provinces: Huelva, Sevilla, Cádiz, Málaga, Córdoba, Jaen, Granada, Almería.
Google writes: Andalusia is a large autonomous region of hills, rivers and farmland bordering Spain’s southern coast. It was under Moorish rule from the 8th-15th centuries, a legacy that shows in its architecture, including such landmarks as the Alcázar castle in Seville, the capital city, as well as Córdoba’s Mezquita Mosque-Cathedral and Granada’s Alhambra palace. ― Google Capital: Seville Area: 87,597 km² .
I live in the Granada province which is a large stretched out province. I live under the feet of the flamenco dancer on the map, near the border with Almería. Granada is known (apart from the Alhambra) for its Sierra Nevada mountains and ski resort. The southern most ski pistes in Europe.
My week has been pretty uneventful. I have started my usual activities again, like Pilates twice a week and Gym, also twice a week. I've also had a haircut:
We've also started Intercambio (Spanish/English conversation group) again. But for one reason or another (there is some flu etc going round) only Jayne and I turned up. So I suggested to Jayne we go out for a drink:
Jayne had to drive so she had a non-alcoholic beer and I had my white wine. Of course we got a free 'tapa', a little snack, with our drink:
It was a slice of bread with a few slices of cured ham and some olives. It was really nice ham.
As today is the T-Party, hosted by Elizabeth and Bluebeard, this glass of wine can be my 'ticket' to the party.
That is all from me today. Short and sweet as they say.
Happy T-Day all,
Lisca

That's a great photo Lisca. You had a really nice haircut. And I'm actually glad you shared that postcard photo since I wasn't sure exactly where in Spain you lived. I've heard many of these names of the areas but wasn't exactly sure where they were either. It must be nice to get back into the swing of "regular" life after the holidays...or at least as much as I love the holidays it feels good to get back into the daily routine. Have a super T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika
Lovely photo of you and weee, you get free 'tapa'? That is great! My Mom visited Granada and I was in Spain at age... long ago, somewhere at the coast, a small town.
Have a happy T-Day!
I think it is so cool that you get free food with your drinks-Enjoyed the postcard. there is a really bad flu going around here too and the flu shot this year is not helping at all.
I love the Alhambra and the Cordoba mosque/church! I think you are lucky to be amidst such interesting historic places. I’m sure I’ve repeatedly mentioned that we spent quite a bit of time in that area of Spain but many years ago, and your photos often remind me of my experiences (some better than others).
oh beautiful haircut! Lovely! your food and drink looks amazing and I love your smile. :) Have a wonderful rest of the week! :)
Nice photos of you and your friend. I really like your haircut. Happy T Day
The post card is a great geography lesson of your area. Thank you for sharing. What fun to go out with your friend. Happy T Day.
