SUNDAY 7th/ FEBRUARY 2016.
The village was very quiet this morning so
we were able to have a nice log lie in, we then had ‘Campo’ Poached Eggs on
Toast with a mug of tea for breakfast, I then, with Brenda’s help, made the ‘Minestrone’
soup using my Tomato Salsa as the base with 20 or so different vegetables along
with various pastas & pulses etc. We use it as required for our lunchtime
snack, we keep the batch in the deep freeze and then re-constitute it with stock
when required. Mano will no doubt call in for some for his night-time snack
when he’s in work!
Overnight the wind got up but the threatened
rain has so far not appeared, it’s at the moment clearing a little and the
breeze has dropped, the forecast for next week is starting to look more settled
and if anything a little warmer, watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having
the ‘Medallions of Pork Fillet’ cooked on a hot griddle plate and served on a
pool of my famous Tomato Salsa with some ‘Sugar Snap’ Peas and local Baby
Carrots, I’m making for a change ‘Rissole’ Potatoes using some very nice cooked
Baby New Potatoes in their skins, tossed in foaming Butter with chopped
Parsley.
Yesterday on the sports front ‘Manchester
City lost at home to Leicester 1-3 and did no play well, Liverpool gave away a
two goal lead and drew 2-2 and Everton won at Stoke 0-3,the racing from Sandown
Park was very exciting before we watched the start of the ‘Six Nations Rugby
Union’ as France beat Italy 23-21 but did not play well and then up at Murrayfield
England beat Scotland 9-15 with two tries!
At half time in the England game a had a Skype video call from Tim over in Old Colwyn
to let us know that his dear mother had passed away earlier in the afternoon, she
was 95 and had been in a home for the past few years , our thoughts go out to
Tim, his brother & sisters at this very sad time, we have many happy
memories of her over the years especially when she sent us food parcels to our
house when we were in dire straights, broke and had no food at one particular time
– gone but never forgotten. This now means that Tim will have to come over now
at the start of March not the end of February with his mate, for a golfing
break, as over in North Wales it now takes over three weeks to arrange for a the
cremation?!
Next week we will try again to get our Passport
photos taken so as we can then apply for our new Passports with the help of Steve
in the English Newspaper shop. ’Reina’ is back with us for five day from Monday
to Friday otherwise we have no plans, so far.
After supper last night we watched “ Blitz “
from 2011 – a British crime thriller with Jason Statham playing ‘Jason Statham’
with Paddy Considine, Aidan Gillen and David Morrissey.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
