SATURDAY 16th / SEPTEMBER 2017.
We all had a little lie this morning as the
village was very quiet, overnight the stiff ‘ Poinente’ breeze has dropped, ‘Charlie’
slept all night and ‘ Bo ‘ has also been very good, they are both getting on
with one another, when ‘ Bo’ arrived yesterday evening we has a surprise, he’s
a very large ‘Alsatian German Shepherd’! – we were expecting a small dog! When ‘
Sarah ‘ described him she said he was a ‘
little sweetie ’!! He is but he’s also a ‘ big boy ‘ – he’s very gentle,
he dosn’t pull when you are walking him and has a big appetite, we took them
both out for their first walk, when we retuned we had our normal breakfast of ‘
Weetabix’ toast & tea, we then fed ‘ Bo’
then ‘ Charlie’ later, ‘Bo’ is being collected later this evening.
See the picture’s below of ‘Bo’
This morning it’s still a little cloudy
with a blue sky, the sun is just braking through, by lunchtime it will be in
the high 20s, tomorrow it’s the same and next week is now looking warm &
sunny, hovering in the mid 20s, normal for the time of the year, very pleasant
and comfortable, also a little cooler during the night, watch this space.
The ‘ Bars ‘ along ‘ Calle Mar ‘ as I commented
the other day are closing for their holidays, ‘Cafe Plaza’ re-opened yesterday just
as Juan from ‘ Bar Castillo ‘ went on his holidays for two weeks, he re-opens
on the 1st October, sadly ‘ Bar Ocaña ‘ is also closed for two weeks,
due to the sudden death of the old owner, he died yesterday morning, his son ‘Fran’
runs the business, the burial/service is
this afternoon down at the church, the normal timing here, within 24 hours. ‘ Nacho’s
Bar ‘ ( Juan’s brother) was closed last week, meanwhile ‘ Bar Rojas’ with
Susanna is open, but not on a regular basis, lastly the bar, two doors down our
Street ‘ Bodegon Andaluz ‘ has closed permanently as the owner, Andres, is taking a long break! His
sister, Anna, runs ‘ Cafe Plaza’!
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Grilled Fillet Steaks ‘ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’ – then left
to rest, garnished with seared Asparagus Spears & Button Mushrooms and
deep-fried ‘Onion Rings’( dipped in milk & flour ) with the classic ‘
Bearnaise’ sauce on the side, whole Baby Green Beans and of course twice-cooked
‘ Chips’ See below.
On Sunday evening it’s going to be ‘Medallions
of Pork Fillet’ cooked on the griddle plate, with ‘Breton’ style potatoes (
diced/boiled potatoes tossed with Onions & Red & Green Peppers ) and an
assortment of vegetables.
Over here in ‘ La Liga’ this weekend
Barcelona travel to Getafe and Real Madrid are at Real Sociedad; in the ‘Premier
League’ Liverpool host Burnley and Manchester City travel down the MI to play
Watford, tomorrow Manchester Utd welcome Everton with Wayne Rooney! It’s the ‘
Grand Prix ‘ over in Singapore under the flood lights tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3-00 pm we have
arranged to call Sandra & Bill on the ‘ Skype’ video over in Everett,
Ontario Canada,( 9-00 am over there!) for
a final chat & catch up before they set off on their travels to Spain next
weekend! It’s all getting rather exciting.
On Monday morning we are going out in the
car for a ‘ Recce ‘ to check the roads out as we have not been to one place
before that we are going to, also to make sure that the newly re-surfaced road
is open out of the back of the village.
In ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ Charlie ‘ goes
home on Tuesday, as usual we will miss him as he’s a great character and good
company, ‘Reina’ is back with us on Tuesday & Wednesday
This evening we will channel hop and perhaps
find a good film to watch, tomorrow night it’s the second and final episode of ‘Strike:
The Silkworm ‘ – then on Monday/Tuesday we have all the new series to follow,
watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
