THURSDAY 13th/ JULY 2017.
I was up this morning, first thing, to see ‘
Reina’ back with us for the day, she’s’ back tomorrow morning and then next
week it’s only two days, Wednesday & Thursday, she went back to sleep on
the bed and we carried on and had a little lie in, after our regular breakfast
Brenda is washing her hair after showering, I’m doing the same later, as we went
downstairs the front door was rattling, it was ‘ Chispa’ letting us know that
she want’s to come in, normally during the day the door is open and she just
crashes in!
Our friends Brian & Jan have just
booked ‘ Charlie’- the water dog, in with us at ‘Doggy World Heaven’ for his
late two-weeks summer holiday in the middle of September as well as a short
break weekend in October, we cant’s wait to see him back with us, he’s a lovely
dog and great company.
We then got the shopping list ready for
tomorrow morning when I’m going down on the early bus to Sabinillas for our
weekly shopping, this evening ‘ Chico’ is being dropped off for his long
weekend break, he’s with us until Tuesday evening, he’s no problem, a little character
and gets on with the other dogs, also next Tuesday evening ‘ Scruffy’ is back
with us for a sleep over, this means that this evening we can’t go down to the ‘
Casa De Los Torres – Cultural Centre’ for the ‘Fusion Flamenco’ show, as it’s
the ‘ Chef’s & Staff night off we are going along later, with ‘ Chico’ for
a light Tapas supper to ‘Bar Castillo’ and
I will pop down and try and get some pictures, watch this space.
After a very hot & sticky night this
morning the sun broke through early and the sky is clearing, there is just a
little breath of air, it’s going to be a ‘ hot one’ later, inland Spain is experiencing
very hot weather, the records are being broken, today, around the area of Jean
its forecast to reach 47 degs+! 50 degs is even possible!! Over the weekend down here on the ‘ Costa Del
Sol’ its staying on the hovering on the 30 degs mark, next week is going to get
steadily hotter, watch this space.
Yesterday at the Tennis at Wimbledon it was
all happening, Andy Murray was beaten, in five sets, for the last two sets he
had a serious hip injury, that he has been carrying for a while, then Novak
Djokovic had to retire with a injury to his elbow, meanwhile Roger Ferderer cruised
into the semi-finals with a trademark display.
Today in the ‘Tour de France’ it’s day one in the ‘Pryenees’ as Stage 12
goes from Pau to the mountain top finish in Peyragudes over 215 kms, in the
last 100 kms there are five punishing climbs, yesterday the German sprinter
Marcel Kittle won again, his fifth sprint win is this year’s Tour, I can guarantee
that he won’t win today’ - in fact he will be lucky to finish!!
See the route maps below;
See below some pictures taken the other
night of the famous celebrity restaurant in Estepona ‘ Robbies ‘ it’s been going
for many years and was the favourite restaurant of Cilla Black, where they had
a permanent table reserved for her with her favourite ‘Pink Champagne’ on ice! We
went there with friends when we first arrived down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’
all those year ago, another visit is due! Watch this space.
Last night after supper we settled down and
watched a movie on the ‘ Kodi’ film channel ‘Inferno ‘ from 2016, another
mystery thriller written by Dan Brown, it stars Tom Hanks, reprising his role
from ‘The De Vinci Code & Angel & Demons’ – you couldn’t tell the difference
as it’s the same type of story!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
