FRIDAY 28th/ APRIL 2017.
I was up very early this morning and after
putting on the waterproofs, I set off on my travels in the middle of a rain
storm, I called into the surgery and booked an appointment with our Doctor,
Natalia, for next Thursday morning to update my records and have a check up, I
then carried on down to Sabinillas to go to a main bank to pay our electricity
bill, as the local bank yesterday, was off line, after a little problem, that
was sorted by the cashier & Manager, I was able to settle the account.
I called into ‘Mercadona’ for our main
shop, the underground car park was flooded, I had to park outside so I was
drenched again as I came out to load the car, next I picked up some birthday
cards and the local newspapers from the ‘English Bookshop’- the local market at
the end of the promenade was closed as the storm was hitting the sea front,
again, so it was time to come back up the hill to a very damp sunny Manilva.
I arrived back at the house like a ‘Drowned Rat’ – I had to change out of all my
clothes, I was wet to the skin! So much for the waterproofs!! A mug of steaming tea was called for!!
The rain started yesterday evening, it was
very heavy, but then stopped during the night, this morning it was back with a vengeance,
the road were starting to flood down in Sabinillas, it looks like it’s in for
the day and tomorrow, on Sunday the forecast is back to normal, warm &
sunny, getting hotter each day next week, watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Goujons of Hake Fillet ‘ with ‘ Mushy Peas’ & twice-cooked ‘ Frits ‘ –
Homemade ‘Tartar’ sauce on the side, with lots of Lemon Wedges; on Saturday its’
going to be Grilled ‘Entrecote Steaks’
garnished with deep-fried Onion rings, Sunday is still TBC.
It’s definitely a stay at home day today
& tomorrow, we are ‘Battening Down the Hatches’! Brenda is catching up with
the chores, we will settle down later, reading and watching some TV.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
