SUNDAY 31st/
MAY 2015
‘Charlie’
this morning gave Brenda the ‘nudge’ so
she took him out for his first walk of the day before sunrise and left me &
‘Reina’ in the land of dreams! ‘Reina’
slept on the bed with us without her duvet and ‘Charlie’ was on the Marble
floor and also his dad’s jumper! ‘Reina’ is with us again tonight and is being
picked up later tomorrow meanwhile ‘Scruffy’ is back with us tomorrow for the
day! ‘Chispa’ as usual comes calling all the time and plays with all her
friends.
He’s being
picked up later today, we will miss him terribly as he’s such good company and
is not a problem to look after, he eats regular, tells you when he wants to go
out and goes to bed like the good boy he is! He is real ‘character’ and we are
all ready looking forward to having him back for his ‘Xmas’ holidays for two
weeks if not before!
Last night
was another ‘hot one’ so we had the fan on all night, even the locals are
saying that it’s hot, so it must be! Yesterday afternoon and evening it was
very hot, it’s a different sought of heat to the July/August high temperatures
which we are used too. It looks like the week ahead is going to be more of the same,
if not warmer. We ended up on the roof terrace in the early evening for our
‘Happy Hour’ cocktails as there was just a little breeze to make it
comfortable.
Back to
this morning and after our breakfast of “Smoked Back Bacon” ‘Butties’ – toasted
not soft – we sorted our self’s out for the day ahead and next week; Brenda is
shampooing her hair and after posting the Blog I’m down in the kitchen making
more of my famous ‘Ensaladilla Rusa- Russian Salad’ which Brenda has prepared
all the ingredients for.
Then I’m
getting ready my ‘Breton’ style garnish for his evenings potato dish – diced
Onions, Red, Green & Yellow Peppers, all sweated off with Mixed Herbs ready
to add to the cooked diced potatoes this evening. We are having ‘Medallions of
Pork Fillet’ with a ‘Charcutiere’ Sauce which I’m also going to make later this
morning!
After my
shave & shower we will go for a walk with ‘Reina’ and ‘Chispa’ and no doubt
call into Bar Rojas for a cool drink on the way back; next week we are going
out on Wednesday lunchtime for a ‘Tapas’ lunch at the ‘KE’ Bar in Sotogrande
and we are doing the shopping on Saturday morning next week – both these days
because we are doggy ‘free’ in ‘Doggy World Heaven’!
June is
staring to sort its self out; I’ve booked a table for Sunday Lunch on the 21st
at ‘Cocomo’ for Brenda’s birthday as on Monday 22nd - a lot of the good restaurants are closed on
Monday’s! We are also due to pick Josie up from the bus station over in Marbella
Yesterday
in the football Arsenal beat Aston Villa in the ‘FA Cup Final’ at Wembley 4-0 and
over here we watched later as Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 in the Final
of the ‘Copa Del Rey’played at the ‘Camp
Nou’ in Barcelona, Messi scoring two of the goals, the first one a ‘wonder’
goal when he beat 4 defenders!
Over in the
‘Giro d’Italia’ Alberto Contador is still in the leaders ‘Pink’ jersey going
into today’s final stage into Milan after a grueling stage yesterday as they
battled their way up the ‘Colle delle Finestre’ – a ‘dirt/gravel’ track up the
side of the mountain – Contador had a ‘bad day at the office’ in his own words
and came in 2 mins behind the second placed rider in the overall standings
‘Aru’ - who also won the stage!
After
supper this evening we will channel hop and find something to watch, last night
before the football we watched the Jamie Oliver programme when he was in Greece
Thought for
the Day; See above.
