new tapas bar

Spent most of yesterday being a domestic diva. Vacuumed, mopped, even cleaned out the fridge. The last job took two hours to do, but I found the end result oddly satisfying. Last night I went to the new tapas bar on the square with C. and a few other people. What a great place! It is set in an old, very large townhouse. Rather than knock down walls to create large dining areas, the restauranteurs have left the individual rooms intact. This leaves a much more intimate feel to the place. We went upstairs and settled in what once was a bedroom, overlooking the plaza. If the people in the next room get a bit rowdy, one can just shut the door so there is no need to have to shout over everyone. The decor is Spanish rustico with a little Martha Stewart thrown in for good measure. Many nooks and interesting crannies still to be explored. We only managed to try about one third of the items on the extensive tapas menu. Everything was really tasty, although my favorite was the lightly battered tempura shrimp, served with aioli. Super yummy, ahhh. Even with a couple bottles of wine thrown in, our cuenta was a reasonable 15 euros each. Will certainly be back, many times. :-) Heavy fog rolled in last night, and the village remains buried beneath the clouds. Not the bright sunny day I was hoping for, but I think I'll go ahead with my planned planting and work in the washroom rather than on the terrace. Today's photo is just a little fun. Big Jim and his colleagues enjoy playing "spot the typo" on signs and billboards around Islamabad. He scored two points for this one. :-)
Play "spot the typo" hasta manana, mylifeinspain oh and p.s., British spelling is considered correct; so "Centre" is okay.
