SATURDAY 29th/
JUNE 2013.
This
morning we have just a little breeze which at this time of the year is just
right; after our tea and toast we rushed out to wash the car before it gets too
hot, I then made some ‘Ensallida Ruse’ – blanched the chips for tonight’s
supper all before watching ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’ live on BBCTV1 small PC
on full-screen, at the same time on the large PC on my sports channel
connection I was able to follow the second test over in Melbourne between
Australia and the British & Irish Lions, sadly the Lions lost 16-15!
Then it was
time for the qualifying at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone back on BBCTV1
on the small PC, Hamilton is on pole for tomorrow’s race; meanwhile downstairs
on the TV it was the three races at Assen in the Motor GP series,Valentino
Rossi ( The Doctor ) and seven-times ‘MotoGP’ champion claimed his first win
since 2010 as Jorge Lorenzo took fifth despite his broken collarbone, this
after he crashed on Thursday, flew to Spain on Friday for a operation and then
came back to Holland today and passed the medical to enable him to ride!
Now
downstairs on the TDP Channel I ‘am watching the first stage of the ‘Tour De
France’ in Corsica as on my sports channel on the large PC I could only get
coverage in Dutch, German or Russian!
Well what a finish as the German sprinter Marcl Kittel crosses the line first and also takes the Yellow jersey; in the last 10kms there was crashes and total choas as most of the leading riders were held up including Mark Cavendish,meanwhile on the finish line as the riders came into Bastia one of the Tour coaches broke down on the finish line and brought down the electronic timing,see the picture above -what was the coach doing on the route anyway? In the end they had to push the coach backwards off the line with the help of the crowds !!Utter pandemonium and a big anti-climax !!! The race organisers are saying everyone will be credited with the same time - watch this space! Now there are reports of injuries to riders starting to appear on the news page!!

Mano and
Anna called in at lunchtime for a good chat and gossip, the hot topic at the
moment is that the Mayor Antonia and 6/7 councilors have been forced to resign
from the ‘IU’- Communist Party as she is being investigated by the Guardia
Civil (Allegedly! ) for corruption and nepotism !! Watch this space for more
details in is what a typically ‘Spanish’ happening !! Good news for Mano is
that he is going back to the Manilva Green Apart hotel to work on reception
next week
Brenda is
up on the roof terrace, out of the way of my ‘Sports Chanting’ as she says and
is reading her latest ‘Patterson’ I have maintained my weight loss and the
blood pressure is OK,it must be all the running up and downstairs between the
three screens !!
Tonight for
supper we are back to our Saturday night special of Steak and chips with all
the trimmings, then catching the late film.
Thought for
the Day; See above.
