supper is ready!


Wow! This course is perfect. After the hellish evening I had last night I got picked up by Simon and driven to the cortijada Los gasquez, where there was Donna, and two other couples all sitting around post dinner having a laugh and a bottle (OK a few bottles) of wine. It was a lovely familiar kind of a situation so i slipped on in with them and socialise for two hours longer than I meant to be awake for. You know me, more tired than toddler after christmas,  but as soon as there was company and raucaus laughter i wouldnt have gone to bed if you'd dragged me. It was my fomo* playing up again. Simon and Donna are so chilled, I am the only person on the course which means that Simon and I can decide when, where and how we do things. Luckily, apart from taking pictures of myself, food photography is something that I really enjoy doing. Arranging things perfectly and shooting macro- ocd dream.
This morning me went to the market. If spanish markets aren't the greatest things in the world, then I dont know what is. I was still fairly back of the camera shy so i didn't get as many photos as I could/should've.  At the market we got churros. Mmmm churros! The way you make churros is you get a bit of heart attack and a bit of heaven and you mix them together until they form a pancake like consistency. Then you deep fry it.
Tonight is new years eve, and everyone seems to think I shouldnt help prepare because im paying to be here. I finally managed to get my hand on a knife and help chop vegetables. Did you know, this years new years means that in the last 5 years I have spent new years in four different countries. Whaaat? Not a bad record, I'd say. So, Scotland next year anyone? I hear they have a massive bonfire.
I'm gonna go and see when dinner is ready. I have had enough hypoglycemia in the last three days to last a lifetime.

*fear of missing out.
