FRIDAY 2ND / DECEMBER 2016.
I was up & out first thing this morning
on my travels, Brenda saw ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, ‘ Scruffy’ is with
us for a sleep over on Saturday night, ‘Chispa’ is in & out in between the
showers as normal. I called into our Bank to thank the ‘Accounts’ manager for
finally sorting out our online banking system.
I then went to ‘ Mercadona for our main
weekly shop, I walked along to the ‘English Bookshop’ to post the cards to
Australia, collect the local newspapers & ‘TV’ Times, I picked up some
extra Xmas cards, a leaving card for our dear fried Brian, who is going back to
the ‘UK’ to live & work in Stoke and a birthday card for our friend Tim!
PS; The ‘ Moffatt’s, Tim & Thea, have
been spotted in a garage having repairs to their motor home, after a little
research it’s in ‘San Pedro del Pinatar’ in the ‘ Murcia ‘ region above Catagena?!
See Tim below overseeing the repairs!
I then came back up the hills to sunny
Manilva , we don’t need fresh flowers and the wall plants at the moment are
taking a bashing in the storms, I unloaded back at the house and took the
chance to check the Oil & Coolant in the car after all our travels down on
the ‘ Costa Del Sol’
As I went down to Sabinillas the sun was just
breaking through, overnight the rains has stopped and we are in for a dry day,
then for the rest of the weekend and into next week we are in for more rain
storms, the ‘bonus’ is that it’s still warm, 18/19degs - so the rain is warm!
Yesterday afternoon we had another cloud
burst with severe thunder & lightening, at one stage we had a flood in our
bathroom coming through to the office/studio, it was coming in by the window,
it was closed & locked and it looks like there is problem on the roof terrace/drains,
possibly due to the new building, after mopping up putting towels down to dry,
I called our maintenance people to come and check ‘ ASAP’! Watch this space.
The ‘ Menus’ for the weekend have been
agreed; this evening we are having ‘ Goujons of Hake Fillet’ in a ‘ Cruzcampo’
beer batter, homemade ‘Tartar’ sauce on the side,’ Mushy Peas’ & diced,
twice-cooked ‘ Frits – on Saturday it’s ‘ Grilled Entrecote Steak’ with ‘ Pont
Neuf’ chips and then on Sunday we are ‘Roasting’ – ‘Loin of Pork’ with a Mixed
Herb stuffing, a selection of vegetables and ‘Duck Fat’ Roast Potatoes!
This weekend is defiantly a ‘stay at home’
time, we are going to take things very easy, keep ourselves warm, eat, drink
and be merry!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
