FRIDAY 5th/ JANUARY 2018.
I was up early again this morning and after
seeing little princess ‘Reina’ back with us for the day, she’s back next week
for three days from Wednesday, I shot out to catch the local bus down to
Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, the sky was beautiful, as the full red sun
came up above the Mediterranean, I collected the local English newspapers from
the ‘English Bookshop’ as well as a special birthday card and a large yearly
wall chart, for the kitchen wall.
I then went along to ‘ Mercadona’ for our
main shop before catching a taxi back up to the house, after un-packing Brenda
made a very nice ‘ Smoked Back Bacon Butty’ with a mug of strong/steaming tea!
We are waiting to hear about the car, hopefully by lunchtime, before we go out
to James & Michala’s wedding reception at ‘Bar Pedreta’ this afternoon.
We
are going to watch the start of the ‘ Three Kings’ parade this evening in front
of the Wine Museum before it heads off round the village.
Overnight the stiff breeze that built up
yesterday afternoon dropped and by this morning it was cool but dry as I set
off on my travels, the sky is overcast and its staying like this over the
weekend and into next week, hovering on the 19/20 degs mark today but dropping
down to 12/13 degs over the weekend, the wet stuff from the ‘Atlantic’ front is
also threatening to hit us on Saturday and the start of next week, hopefully
keeping dry on Sunday, when we are going out for ‘ Sunday Lunch ‘ at ‘Kokomo ‘
with our dear friend Joyce ( Baby)
See below a picture taken this morning of
one of the docks in Liverpool.
Meanwhile over in Canada, Sandra & Bill
have deep snow and very cold weather, when we spoke to them on ‘New Year’s Day’
over in Everett, Ontario, it was – 20 degs! They are only an hour away from ‘Niagara
Falls’ which is freezing over at the moment, the severe weather front that is
hitting New York and the area will also hit them, as they are only a ten hour
drive away!
See below a picture taken yesterday of
Sandra out in her snow shoes, be prepared
is her ‘Motto’!
This evening for our supper, later, we are
having ‘ Pan-Seared Fillets of Hake’ – duster in seasoned flour and finished
with a foaming Lime Butter reduction, with Garden Peas & Baby Parsley New
Potatoes on the side, no forgetting the Homemade Tartar sauce. On Saturday
evening it’s going to be ‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks’ with all the trimmings!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
