WEDNESDAY 30th/ DECEMBER 2015.
I was up early this morning and after
taking ‘Charlie’ for his first walk of the day I shot out on my travels, I
called into the surgery to make an appointment for both of us to update our prescriptions
for 2016; I then drove down through the vine fields as the sun was coming up
over the Mediterranean, the sky is blue and there is no breeze, its another
beautiful day down here on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ - by lunchtime it will reach 21
degs!
I called into the bank in Sabinillas for
some cash and then stopped at the ‘English Bookshop’ for the local papers, a
New Years card, a calendar and some wall charts ( not arrived !) I also made
the arrangements with Steve in the bookshop to re-new our Passports in the next
couple of weeks, we need new Passport Photos from another shop in Sabinillas
first!
I then carried on to ‘Mercadona’ for the
main shop before calling into ‘Super Sol’ on the way back for some English
essentials. When I arrived back at the house Brenda made ‘Crispy Smoked Bacon
Butties’ with a mug of steaming tea after unpacking; we have planned the menus
for over the New Year weekend, this evening we are keeping things simple with
some local cold ‘York Ham’sliced thin, from the shop in our street, served with
‘Campo’ fried Egg and twice-cooked Chips. Tomorrow we are having ‘Grilled Steak
on the Bone’ – ‘French style’ – then on New Years Day its ‘Goujons of Hake
Fillet in Cruzcampo Batter’ On Saturday night I’ve treated ourselves to Fillet
Steak ie. ‘Tournedos Rossini’ and the finally on Sunday we are having ‘Lamb
Shanks in Minted Gravy’!!
‘Reina’ and ‘Charlie’ have become great
friends, they play all the time and are both settled into the routine, they are
sleeping well, ‘Reina’ in her duvets and ‘Charlie’ as usual roaming around
before ending up on our bed in the morning; yesterday ‘Barny’ was collected and
will be back with us in February, ‘Reina & Charlie’ are with us until next
Monday,'Reina' has just left a message on her Facebook page for her Dad & Mum, meanwhile over in New York Lee & Daniela are hitting the sites, yesterday
it was the ‘Rockerfella Center’ & the ‘Chrysler Building’ See the pictures
below;
The workmen are back on the site this
morning knocking and playing the radio loud, the painters have arrived and have
commenced to paint all the back of the building including the walls around our
old roof terrace ‘ White’! Watch this space.
Last night after supper we channel hopped
over here and in England but could not find anything to watch so we ended up
watching some more episodes of ‘New Tricks’ again!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
