- ✈️ MIL flew back to Sweden. It was great having her here for five weeks, but also somewhat stressful for me, as my daily routine and food habits change a lot when she's around. I was honestly dying to go back to my Mediterranean diet.
- 🌎 A hit wave hit again for a few days, with temperatures of 29°C. The day after it ended, we were hit by a cold wave with temperatures as low as 5°C. Gotta love climate change!
- 🌊 Last Sunday we went for a walk at Ruta de Los Molinos, near Buñol. Sadly, the trail doesn't exist anymore, as it was wiped out by the DANA a year ago. We did see several cars that were destroyed by the water and are still on the river bed to this day. They did not look like cars, more like crumpled paper balls.
- 💔 On the way back to the car, we encountered dozens of wild pomegranate trees. We harvested a ton of beautiful red fruit, so excited about all the salads, the possibilities, the recipes we would make… Reality hit us hard. Those horrible wild things were extremely sour and unpleasant. Now I know why so many fruits were on the ground and not even birds were eating them.
- 🍳 Made Greek kagianas for breakfast. It's a creamy dish of scrambled eggs and tomatoes, super easy and delicious! Will make again, many times.
- 🎲 Spent an entire rainy Sunday playing Cluedo with my mom. So fun!
- 📺 Started watching season 5 of Only Murders in the Building.
- 🐶 Left for a morning walk with the dogs and Astro decided to sit on the sidewalk by our front gate and refused to move. I told him we'd go anywhere he wanted, he'd get to decide, I pleaded with him to go back home, I enticed him with snacks, I inspected the entire dog, head to toe. Where does it hurt? Is it his back? Is it his paw? Maybe it's gases? Maybe it's bloating?! Is it dementia??!! After TWENTY MINUTES on the street, I decided to go back inside and ask my husband to pick him up (Astro's too heavy for me). Then he got up like nothing happened, tail wagging, that adorable/dumb golden retriever face, and we finally went for our walk.
