FRIDAY 11th/ AUGUST 2017.
I was up early this morning and after a quick
freshen up I shot off on my travels down to Sabinillas, in the car, for the
weekly shopping. The new Council Private Car Park is now in full use and
everything is working, the doors open & close as you press the remote from
the car! Brenda had a little lie in, as we are free in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ –
she then showered and caught up with the ironing, I’m having one later after
typing & posting the Blog.
I was first in into ‘ Mercadona ‘ for our
main shop, I then shot along to ‘ Puerto de la Duquesa’ to collect the dry
cleaning ( the heavy duvet)- I then came back along to the far end of the promenade
to the local market for the fresh flowers, I also bought two wall plants, next
I called into the large ‘White’ goods shop for some new glass tumblers, finally
on the way back up the hill I dropped into ‘ Super Sol ‘ for the ‘ English’
essentials.
PS; We have just had an accident, as we
were re-potting one of our new wall pots, the top bright coloured one, it fell
off and crashed into pieces in the street below. We will have to go across to
the Sunday Market on the Estepona Marina for a new one, watch this space!
The sun was out first thing this morning
and the sky was bright blue, the stiff breeze has changed direction, it’s now blowing
from the mountains, not the sea, out of the wind it’s still very hot &
clammy, in the breeze is very pleasant and refreshing, by lunchtime it will be
around the 26/27 degs mark, overnight 21/22 degs, over the weekend it’s slowly
getting warmer, next week is steadily going hotter, back to normal for the time
of the year, watch this space.
See below a picture of the ‘ Snowdon
Horseshoe ‘ – from the left to right – ‘ Crib Goch, Crib y Ddysgl & Y
Lliwedd – Snowdon ‘ with ‘ Llyn Llydaw ‘ below. North Wales and Snowdonia at
its finest!
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Goujons of Hake Fillet ‘ using breadcrumbs from the local Bakery, I shallow
fry them in hot Vegetable Oil, served with
Mushy Peas & twice-cooked ‘ Frits’ – Homemade ‘Tartar’ sauce and Lemon
Wedges on the side. On Saturday evening we have a large ‘Entrecote Steak’ which
I will cook on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’ –then leave to rest before
slicing it into fingers ‘ French ‘ style. For our Sunday night special it’s
going to be grilled ‘English Chump Lamb Chops’ with ‘Lyonniase’ Potatoes and a
selection of Vegetables, not forgetting the ‘ Mint’ sauce!
Staying in North Wales, see below a picture
of the famous ‘ Menai Suspension Bridge ‘ built by Thomas Telford, over the ‘Straights
of Menai’ from the North Wales coast to the island of Anglesey.
This evening after supper we are going to
find a film to watch on the ‘ Kodi’ film channel as our ‘BBC TV I Player’
connection on the ‘ Amazon Fire TV Stick ‘ is still not coming online, at this
time of year some of the ‘Spanish TV’ Channels are also affected by the weather
and the reception it not good, all will be resolved when the ‘Movistar’ engineers
arrive to install the ‘Fiber Optic cables down our street to the house, watch
this space.
Finally still in North Wales see below some
picture taken by our friend, Nigel’ in and around Llandudno earlier this week.
