TUESDAY 8th / DECEMBER 2015.
I was up early to welcome back ‘Reina’ for
the day, she arrived in her new, very smart, Red Fleece followed a minute later
by ‘Scruffy’ with his new walking collar, meanwhile ‘Barny’ stays on his duvet
in the lounge until its time to go out; we then took him & ‘Scruffy’ for their
first walk of the day, meanwhile little princess ‘Reina’ retired to her new
duvet up in the office!
When we returned it was breakfast time for
all of us, ‘ Reina’ will only have Brown toast with Butter,’Scruffy’ is not
bothered first thing in the morning and ‘Barny’ has his main meal of the day
which is a special pellet meal mixed with water ie. ‘Gruel’! We were on our
regular breakfast of ‘Weetabix’ Toast & Tea with some fresh fruit.
It was then time to get started on the Xmas
Tree, the new Xmas Lights & decorations before we put the three Xmas Santa’s
out on the balconies, Brenda is in charge so I have retired to the office with
the dogs to keep out of her way!
Its overcast and grey this morning with
just a little breeze, the forecast for the rest of the day and also the week is
for more of the same with the sun braking through later in the day and the temperatures
reaching 19/ 20 degs, about normal for this time of the year and thankfully no
rain!
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Escalope
of Chicken Breast’ pan fried in foaming Lime Butter with a dash of ‘Balsamic’
Vinegar, whole Green Beans & sautéed thick-cut slices of Baked Potato, then
tomorrow its going to be ‘Grilled Gammon Steak’ with Pineapple topped with a ‘Campo’ fried Egg and Garden
Peas and of course some twice-cooked ‘Frits’ Thursday we are out on our trip to
Malaga so we will have a light supper when we return, Friday its ‘Fish Night’
and then on Saturday we will have a nice steak; on Sunday we are out for our ‘Xmas
Lunch – Staff Party’ at the new ‘Cocomo’ Watch this space.
The new ‘ Xmas Parranda’ band has just been passed our house and is setting
off around the village, all our local neighbours and friends are in it, they
play the traditional tunes and songs; its a Bank Holiday today for the ‘Immaculate
Conception’ so the school is closed and everybody is off work, hopefully I shall
post the pictures later after Daniela helps me this evening fix the camera/
computer system! Watch this space. See below, more tomorrow!
At lunchtime we went for a walk with the dogs and there was another 'Parranda' band setting off with more of our neighbours, at same time setting off fireworks! On the way back I bumped into a nice couple, Mark & Beryl, who are staying at the 'Manilva Green Aparthotel' - they are originally from Bolton and now live in Alicante, Nice to meet you and have a chat!
This evening after supper we are going to
watch on ‘ITV1’ the ‘Royal Variety Performance’ which we have not see for many
years, last night just before supper Mano called in and fixed our small ‘Beer’
fridge ( most important!) which had started to make a noise, he took off the
back and cleaned and oiled all the parts and now its back to normal and fully
working again! Thanks Mano, the ‘ Chilled Beers’ are on us!!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
