TUESDAY 11th/ APRIL 2017.
Just as I was getting up early this morning
to welcome back little princess ‘Reina’ I got a message from Daniela to say
that her shoulder problem had flared up again so she was working from home
today and would be keeping her with her, we went back to bed and had a nice
long lie in before having breakfast, ‘ Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ with mugs
of tea. This means that she could be back with us for the next two days, only
this week, and then four days next week because of the ‘English Bank Holidays’ that are in Gibraltar.
Today the sun broke through early and the
clouds have cleared, it’s warm and sunny with no breeze, the rest of the week
and over the weekend is more of the same, it’s hovering on the 24/25degs mark
if not a little hotter on Saturday & Sunday to end the ‘ Semana Santa ‘
week.
See below Liverpool basking in the sunshine
yesterday.
On Sunday we missed the start of the
festivities for ‘Palm Sunday’ when the ‘ La Borriquita’ procession, along Calle
Mar, carrying the ‘Tronos- Throne ‘ on the shoulders of the Brotherhood ‘
Costaleros ‘ – traditionally they used a ‘ Costal - Sack ‘ to bear the weight.
The ‘ Nazareños – Penitents’ follow/lead in their ‘Capirotes – Conical Hats
& Robes’ All this is lead by the Manilva Brass Band playing processional
music written for Easter, the local dignitaries follow with their staffs of
office. The same procession was taking place in ‘ Mojacar Pueblo ‘ on Sunday as
elsewhere in every village & town in Andalucia.
See the pictures above;
This evening for our supper we are keeping
things simple as we are having ‘Grilled
flattened Chicken Breast ‘ with finely sliced Green Beans and sauteed thick-cut
slices of Baked Potato. The next two day will be deep-freeze selection time and
then on ‘Good Friday’ I’m making my famous ‘ Fish Pie ‘
Last night after supper we settled down to
watch the final of ‘ ‘University
Challenge’ when the favourites were beaten, then we caught the pen-ultimate
episode of ‘ Broadchurch’ – the suicide attempt was foiled, the taxi drivers
wife discovered porn on his PC and ‘ trophies’ from the victims in the garage,
the football sock was used as the gag and had DNA on it of the rapist?! Is it the
husband, her lover, he besotted boss or the taxi driver, or is it somebody
else, all will be revealed next week! Watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
