SUNDAY 18th/ FEBRUARY 2018.
We had a little lie in this morning before
getting the day on the go, after a quick freshen up we took ‘Chico’ out for his
first walk of the day, we had to wake him up this morning, he sleeps all night,
we take him out again at lunchtime, in the early evening and then finally last
thing at night before we go to bed. He’s due to be collected on Tuesday, we
will miss him as he’s such good company, ‘ Chispa’ as usual as just been him to
see him, ‘Reina’is back early tomorrow morning and then on Wednesday to Friday
this week, the following week ‘Scooby’ is due back with us for a short holiday.
When we returned we had a quick mug of tea
& toast before getting today’s ‘ Roast ‘ on the go “ Roast Campo Corn-Fed
Chicken “ with a savoury Apple & Herb Stuffing, not forgetting my delicious
finger-licking Pan Gravy!
See below the local ‘ Campo Corn-Fed
Chicken ‘ before it went in the oven, then cut up/portioned and resting on a ‘Trivet’
of vegetables.
The ‘ Second/Vegetables Chef ‘ is preparing
Broccoli & Cauliflower Florets in a three Cheese sauce, glazed Carrot &
Turnips Batons, Baby whole ‘French’ Green Beans, Garden Peas and a small dish
of her famous ‘ Mashed Potato’ - as we have changed the menu; we are now having
an old favourite ‘ Fondant Potatoes’ – using the trimmings for the mash! The ‘
Fondant Potatoes ‘ hand-turned’ into Barrel shapes,are then ‘ Browned’ in Goose
Fat, for colour, then placed in the dish and topped up with a strong Chicken
& Vegetables stock, ready to bake in the oven this evening.
See below;
This morning the sun is still attempting to
break through, it’s still a little cloudy with just a very light breeze,
hovering on the 16/17degs mark by this afternoon, next week’s forecast had
picked up a bit, the threat of the ‘wet stuff’ has nearly gone away, by Tuesday
the sun is back and the temperature will be 19/20 degs+! – the rest of the week
and over next weekend is looking, for now, dry & settled, a little warmer
during the night, watch this space.
See below the old Pier in Colwyn Bay taken last
night and another spectacular ‘ Drone’
picture of the whole ‘ Bay of Colwyn ‘!
Over in Everett, Ontario Sandra & Bill
have gone across to Ottawa, the capital, for the weekend, to see, Alanna,
Sandra’s daughter, who lives, goes to college and works there, we are making
contact with them next weekend on the ‘ Skype’ video for a good catch up.
See below a picture of Alanna in the ‘
Tapas’ Bar & Restaurant “ Two Six (
Ate ) ! Her boyfriend, Blake, is the ‘ Chef’!!
Last night after supper we caught the next
two back to back episodes of the Swedish police/crime drama series “ Modus “ –
as the plot thickens, there is a mole in the Police department, they find a
dead body of a presidential guard, of the missing lady President, of the USA!-
played by Kim Cattrall. The ‘ FBI ‘ & Secret Service ‘ are infighting, as
well as with the Swedish police, more leads emerged, its’ all getting rather gripping,
interesting & exciting, watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
