We managed another little lie in this
morning before having a quick toast & tea, we then got the ‘ Sunday Roast’
on the go, as we were freshening up we thought we would call Jack & Lyn
over in Australia, as it was 10-00am here, 8-00pm over in Melbourne, on the ‘Skype’
landline connection, we had just seen some pictures on ‘ Facebook’ taken
earlier on Sunday morning when some of Lyn’s family called in for a surprise ‘
Brunch’ and to wish her ‘ Happy Birthday’ – 82 years ‘young’ tomorrow! They are
both very well, as you can see!
For our roast we are having a ‘Roast Chicken’
with a savoury Mixed Herb Stuffing, I take off the leg & thighs, before
seasoning the Chicken with Salt &Lemon Juice, it all then goes on a ‘ Trivet’
of vegetables to cook in a hot oven, basting after the first hour with all the
juices/oil, I then make my famous finger-licking ‘Pan’ gravy using the same
tray. The ‘ Vegetables Chef ‘ has prepared glazed, local Carrot Batons &
Turnips, Cauliflower Florets in a three Cheese Sauce, creamed Baby Leeks &
Garden Peas, with a small dish of her famous ‘ Mashed Potato’ and of course my
famous ‘ Goose-Fat ‘ Roast Potatoes, which she par-boils, drains and shakes!
During the night the temperatures are
dropping down to a very low, by our standards, 3/5 degs, unusual for the time
of the year, the coldest it’s been since we arrived her all those years ago.
This morning the sun was out early and the sky has cleared as there is a little
breeze making it still very ‘ crisp’ and cold in the shade. Next week is
keeping dry & settled, hovering on the 15/17 degs mark for the rest of the
week and over next weekend. Watch this space.
See below a picture of the multi-winning
senior ‘ Manilva Basketball ‘ team, the Mayor’s son, Mario Jnr. is the no 9 on
the left/front, we helped him earlier this year to pass his ‘English’ speaking ‘Oxbridge’ exams.
Brenda is now finishing the ‘Xmas’
decorations on the new tree, we put it up yesterday and sorted the lights out
along with the ‘Pine Ferns’ etc, across the top of the glass cabinet, we have
all our special ‘Poinsettia’s’ arranged in the lounge, ‘Christmas’ has arrived
in ‘Calle San Vicente 1’!!

Last night after supper we settled down to
watch over on ‘ BBC Four’ the next two, back to back, episodes of the gripping ‘
French’ Murder/Police drama “ Witnesses: A Frozen Death “ – as more bodies were
discovered, found buried under wind turbines, the Lady detective has become
friends with the lady who disappeared, they are working together, they have one
suspect tied up in a flat, some of the lady detectives past lovers have disappeared
as she is now being ‘ tracked’ by the murderer, meanwhile the other police have
tracked down a strange woman, who is mixed up in the murders, the atmosphere is
very shocking, made all the more so by the excellent filming in Northern France
along the coast, in Winter!
