FRIDAY 22nd/ SEPTEMBER 2017.
I was up early this morning and after a
quick freshen up I shot off on my travels down to Sabinillas for the weekly
shopping as the sun was rising over a sparkling ‘ Mediterranean ‘ – I had a
quick mug of tea in ‘ Itzabar’ before going along to ‘Mercadona’ for our main
shop.
I then called into the new ‘Steam
Cleaning/Valet Garage’ – just along the road above Puerto de la Duquesa, to book an appointment for
next Thursday morning, they are going to give the car the full works including
checking the oil & water, as well as installing some new seat covers, the ‘Limousine
& Chauffeur’ will be ‘ Suited & Booted’ ready for the arrival of the
folks down here in Sunny Manilva!
I then went back along to the far end of
the promenade for the fresh flowers and wall plants before shooting back up the
hill to the house to unload.
As the sun came up the sky was clearing as
there is a slight breeze, it’s now warm & sunny and due to reach 24/25 degs
later and staying the same over the weekend, next week is looking the same,
getting a little hotter, in the high 20s, for the week when the folks are here
it’s still showing a little of the wet stuff in the air, hovering in the mid
20s, so the rain, If it comes will be warm! Watch this space.
This evening for our supper we are having ‘
Fish n’ Chip Shop’ - ‘ Fish & Chips with Mushy Peas ‘ prepared by our own ‘
Head Chef ‘ ! He’s making a ‘ Cruzcampo’ Beer Batter and using Fillets of Hake, the twice-cooked ‘Chips’
are hand-cut by the ‘ Second Chef’ and the ‘Mushy Peas ‘ come care of ‘Batchelors’
– with the ‘Chefs’ own-recipe, homemade, ‘Tartar’ sauce on the side with lots
of Lemon Wedges and ‘ Malt’ Vinegar, if required!
On Saturday evening we are having a large
grilled ‘Entrecote Steak’ – cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’ then
left to rest before slicing it into fingers ‘ French’ style, served with all
the trimmings. Sunday is the ‘ Head Chefs’ day off as it’s his birthday, when
the ‘ Second Chef’ will be joining him for a ‘ Roast Lunch’ down in ‘Castillo
de la Duquesa’ at the ‘La Taberna 2 ‘
This evening we will channel hop and find
something to watch, over the weekend it’s the ‘Ladies & Men’s Elite Road’
race's over in Bergen, Norway, at the ‘ UCI World Road Championships ‘ I will try
and find the coverage to catch the racing, of course we are still having our ‘
Happy Hour ‘ cocktails before supper!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
