That's right where Don Draper lives, right?
It's the right town, at any rate.

Yep! Except, spoilers.
Yes.
Got my hair cut and I'm back to having bangs. Have been shifting stuff around the house and pulling things that can go in next weeks garage sale.
No strawberries at the farmers' market (I knew it was too early), but some delicious farmhouse creamy cheddar with arugula, a loaf of GF pumpkin bread AND GF graham crackers (there are s'mores in my future, oh yes there are!), and frozen quarts of GF soup: asparagus with Meyer lemon and dill, and shrimp etouffee. Nom!
Now is another round of pink on the my newly-bleached streaks, and getting everything ready for my first day of New Job tomorrow.
Truly a Buffista at heart.
"Ooh! You changed your hair!" is truly the greeting of my people.

Things are just blooming here. How did you think you'd have fruit? Oh! My blackberries are on the edge of blooming. I need to lure unsuspecting people down when they are ripe to pick them. Those bushes are brutal.
Mmm, I want local produce. P texted the other morning saying she was going to start her garden and what requests did I have. Let's keep our fingers crossed that that works out. I asked for berries, herbs and salad. Oh, and carrots for the kids. Because it's cool when you pull out big frilly leaves and omg there are carrots as roots. All about the educationish bits. And having treats for me.

Also, I watched her down her first shot of Fernet, which she'd never heard of but made her feel really fucked-up. I told her I have some friends who swear by it.
You know what is a delicious summer cocktail? Cava and homemade limoncello!
I had packing anxiety dreams last night, so I came up with a tentative itinerary for the 4 days after the meeting: Head NW of Madrid to the towns of Avila, Segovia, Sepulveda and Pedraza. Probably base out of a couple of them to explore the other two. Head back as late as possible Sunday night to Madrid. All are ancient, small and one has CANYONS! Basically, I like to wander around. I don't need to shop, I prefer museums of the local history kind rather than art, and taking buses/trains through the countryside is kind of awesome. I figure that in addition to the weekend in Madrid,we'll have chances to explore after the meeting ends for the day but long before dinner happens....
