MONDAY/TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY 17th/18th/19th/ SEPTEMBER 2012.
..
On Monday morning I was up bright and early as I had an appointment with our doctor at the surgery; I was renewing my prescriptions for another year, as he says if everything is OK- keep taking the tablets! I also checked that my next six month appointment with the consultant in January is all arranged at the Costa Del Sol Hospital over in Marbella to check out the old Prostrate! Brenda is coming into the home strait getting ready for the arrival of her sisters on Thursday – the menus and agenda are planned and the house cleaning is nearly finished – their welcome picture in the bedroom is in place in the frame ! In the evening for supper we had Pork Cutlets with some more of the Boulangere Potatoes before settling down to catch up with news on TVE.
..
Tuesday morning was a little overast, as forecast, as we for a change caught the bus down to Sabinillas to do a little retail shopping; we called into our bank, stopped at the English bookshop to order the Box-Set of ‘ 50 Shades of Grey ’for my birthday present – Brenda is also looking forward to reading the trilogy later ! At the same time we picked up some books to read this week, we then called into ‘Super Sol ’for some English essentials,i.e.Sarsons Vinegar, Heinz Tomato Ketchup,etc.and from their excellent cake counter two Strawberry Tarts for out afternoon tea ! The next stop was at the stationery shop for some files before we had a coffee in the square and caught the bus back up to the village. In the afternoon I watched the UCI Road Race World Championship from Holland – it was the ladies Time Trial – sadly Emma Pooley only finished fourth.
..
For supper we had Calves Liver that Brenda had picked up from our lady butcher as our regular butcher did not have any, she had sliced it very thin as requested and I floured and pan fried it, pink, in foaming butter, with it we had crisp Smoked Bacon, English pork Sausages (Well cooked) assorted vegetables and the last of the Boulangere Potatoes! It was delicious, melted in the mouth and was very tasty – we were drooling by the end! Later we watched a rather gory new version of ‘Spartacus ’which is on at the moment in a new TV series.
..
Today we are having an at home day and taking things easy; the hire car is being dropped off in the morning, we taking Anna over to the border as she wants to into Gibraltar for the day, Brenda will cross over and meet the sisters and we are then going to stop in La Linea for a coffee and Tapas.
PS; The hire car people called at lunchtime and said could we help them ? They wanted to pick us up in the village and take us over via Marbella to pick up the car in Cancelada ! The weather was very good and it gave us a nice drive and an extra half day ! One other bonus was that Cheta was able to come with us,she loves going out in a car,in fact she would not stay in the back with Brenda,she had to come and sit and stand on my knee in the front !

Thought for the Day;
..
I may not be there yet, but I’m closer than I was yesterday.
