SATURDAY 31st/
MAY 2014.
Well Brenda
has had another cough free night which is rather surprising as the bedroom was
of course smelling of fresh paint; this morning it’s already warm and getting
hotter later, tomorrow we have a surprise little storm with some of the wet
stuff hitting us down here on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ coming in from the
Mediterranean not the Atlantic as normal! We can’t complain as it’s still warm
and on Monday its back to normal as it’s getting hotter for the start of next
week.
After breakfast
of fresh local Orange juice,Weetabix, tea and toast I’ am up in the office
watching ‘BBC TV Breakfast News’ on the smaller PC and at the same time on the
larger PC as you can see after catching up with the news on the WWW I’ am typing the Blog; we have a quiet
weekend ahead with no plans then next week Brenda is having her hair cut ready
for our adventure on Thursday when we are going over to see Joyce in ‘Alhaurin
el Grande’ where she lives, it’s behind Marbella in the hills going up towards
Coin then you turn right!
Later this
morning ‘Scruffy’ is being dropped off for his weekend sleep-over so we will go
for a short walk later with him and ‘Chispa’ We love having him. he’s no
trouble and a real character – he is going home on Monday morning.See the picture above.
Meanwhile
downstairs in the kitchen my assistant/commis/vegetable chef is preparing the
ingredients for this mornings ‘Ensaladilla Rusa’ – ‘Russian Salad’ – then I
will also get things ready for tonight’s supper “ Steak Diane ” with
twice-cooked chips and finely sliced Green Beans; the classic ‘Diane’ sauce is
made with sliced Shallots and Mushrooms, the seasoned steaks smeared with Dijon
Mustard and a good spoon-full added to the sauce, a dash of ‘Lea&Perrins
and Tabasco, then deglazed with a slug of Red wine and finished with flaming
Brandy and Double Cream – we can’ wait!
Then later
after supper we are back to normal as the TV is now working, we will catch up
with all the sports news then find a film to follow.
Thoughts
for the Day; See above.
