WEDNESDAY
10th/ SEPTEMBER 2014.
I shot off
to the surgery this morning, first thing before breakfast for my appointment
for an update/check up/consultation with Emilio, the village Doctor and Deputy
Mayor as our Doctor was on holiday; I’ve arranged for a routine blood test
ready for my six month ‘Prostrate’ check up next month, he’s prescribed an
ointment for a light eye infection and changed another prescription, finally he
gave Brenda’s papers the once over for her ‘Heart Consultation’ appointment
over at the hospital in the next couple of weeks( 3 month review!)
Meanwhile
back at the house Brenda was on doggy sitting duties with ‘Scruffy’ after his
first nights sleep over; ‘Chispa’ had also come calling so when I got back I
had a ‘Helluva’ welcome from them both, and Brenda!
On the way
back I called into the chemists to pick up the ointment and found out that it’s
not on the prescribed list so it cost a lot more than normal! Next I went down
to our butchers and found out that he is closed for the week, on holiday. so I
came back up to the lady butcher and she was closed, also on holiday!! So I
then set off to find the only other butchers at the top of the village by the
junior school – when I got back to the house I was like a wet rag as its very
hot today in sunny Manilva!
After a
late breakfast I made tonight’s supper “Chicken, Mushroom & Tarragon
Casserole” which is why I was out looking for Chicken Breasts! I make it with
diced Onions, Garlic, Leeks, Celery, Carrots, Red, Green & Yellow Peppers
and Smoked Bacon – all sweated off, seasoned and a good slug on White wine
added before browning off the diced Chicken in seasoned flour and adding the
Chicken to the pot with a good strong Chicken & Vegetable stock – the
secret ingredients and lots of Tarragon to taste! From the vegetable chef we
are having Saffron New Potatoes and Garden Peas mixed with Baby Carrots.
This
afternoon the ‘Vuelta’ is back with stage 17 from ‘Ortigueina’ to A Coruna’
along the northern west Atlantic coast.
After
supper we will settle down to find something to watch on the TV, last night it
was the start of a new young children’s entertainment show which is lovely to
watch until the judges have to eliminate one of them and the tears start to
flow!! Later I caught on TVE2 a live concert from the ‘Jazz San Javier’
festival featuring the golden oldie funk band “ The Family Stone ” but with no
‘Sly?!’ as he’s been a recluse for over twenty years!! All the original band
members are still playing but look a little older to say the least! ‘Funk’ is
back!!
Thoughts
for the Day; See above.
