THURSDAY/FRIDAY 18th/
This week it has been very hot and during the night the temperature doesn’t go below 30 degs! It means that you don’t get much sleep! On Thursday we had a day of pottering about the house catching up with the chores; meanwhile I was watching the Cricket from the Oval in London and setting up various web-pages to be able to follow the ‘Vuelta a Espana ’live, it starts in Benidorm on Saturday with a team time trial and this year it is loaded with six mountaintop finishes before it reaches Madrid on September 11 for the final sprint! In the evening for supper we had Grilled Minute Steak with salad for supper before we settled down to watch ‘The Tudors’ Henry V111 married his sixth wife, won a war in
Friday morning we shot down to Sabinillas for the shopping, called at the bank and English Bookshop, picked up some flowers from the market in the village and steaks from our butchers. Anna called in as we bring her a set of the English papers; we then went up to Bar Rojas for a drink and some Tapas. When we were shopping I spotted some very expensive looking large Argentinean Red Prawns on the small summer fish stall at Supersol, I bought six as a treat but they turned out to be not that dear so I got six more! We had them for supper, Brenda made some of her famous ‘ Marie Rose ’ dipping sauce and I cooked them ‘ A La Plancha ’ on a very hot griddle plate; I sprinkled them with Sea Salt and served then with lots of Lemon wedges ! They were delicious and we can’t wait to pick up some more!! Later I watched a live Jackson Browne concert which was very good as he was playing with a young band.
