MONDAY 26th/ FEBRUARY 2018.
We had a surprise lie in this morning as
little princess ‘ Reina’ ended up staying the night, she’s with us for the day
and then back tomorrow & Thursday, she slept all night in her duvet, ‘
Chispa’ has already called in, first thing this morning, to see her friend and
us! ‘Scooby’ returns on Wednesday for a short break for five days.
After freshening up we had our breakfast,
to start the week in the right direction “ Toasted ‘Crispy’ Smoked Bacon
Butties “ – smothered in ‘ HP ‘Brown sauce – as usual, open on Brown for
Brenda, with mugs of strong, sweet tea.
Brenda then popped along to the Chemists in
‘Calle Mar’ for our prescription tablets and when she returned I went along to
the local Bank to pay the Water Bill and then carried on down to the Butchers
to stock up!
While I was out I bumped into a local/friend
and the conversation turned to the “ EuroMillions “ lottery winners, last Friday,
a local consortium of 80 people from Manilva, Sabinillas, El Castillio & La
Linea, reportable, won 88 MILLION EUROS !! We already know a couple of them, a
local Councillor and local Bar Owner, who’s ‘Bar’ was closed this morning as I
passed!
This morning it was forecast to be cold
& wet, but at the moment it’s clear & sunny, by lunchtime it’s due to
reach 16 degs+ - the rest of the week and over the weekend into next week we
are in for rain and wind, with grey and overcast skies, the only bonus is that
it’s going to be hovering on the 16/17 degs mark, overnight up to 12/14 degs,
meaning that the rain will be warm! Watch this space.

For our supper this evening we are having
the rest of the ‘Lancashire Hotpot’ which I will top later with some more ‘Spanish
Lamb Steaks & Cutlets’ – then lay a fresh ‘lid’ of sliced Potatoes, ready
to go back in the oven this evening.
Tomorrow evening we have Lee and his
father-in-law, Antonio, joining us for supper, ‘Tapas’ to start, ‘ Medallions
of Pork Fillet ‘ for the main course and then ‘ Crepes’ to finish!
On Wednesday it’s “ Global Scouse Day “ so
youv’e guessed, we are having my Mother’s recipe, with a couple of additions, of
proper ‘ Lobscouse – Scouse ‘ – a stew commonly eaten by sailors from Northern
Europe, ie; ‘Lapskaus’ from Norway, when visiting the Port of Liverpool, back
in time!
Yesterday afternoon we watched the second
half of the ‘ Carabao Cup’ final at Wembley, as Manchester City overpowered and
swept aside and then thrashed Arsenal 0-3 in convincing fashion!
After supper we then made contact on the ‘
Skype’ video with Sandra & Bill, over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, for a
nice, long catch up with all their news, we then caught the first episode of
the two-part “ Strike; Career of Evil “ as the one-legged ‘Soho Detective’ – ‘
Cameroran Strike’ played by Tom Burke returned, with his assistant Robin,
played by the very watchable Holliday Grainger, as a dismembered leg is sent in
the post to her, at the office, watch this space.
Just a little reminder to all our family & friends all over the World, as you are out & about later this year, to pop a 'Postcard' to us here in sunny Manilva! We will sent you one back.Thanks!!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
