THURSDAY 8th/ MARCH 2018. “
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY “
I was up early this morning and after a
quick freshen up I popped up to the Town Hall as I had an appointment to update
some documents, in yesterday’s post we received a very official looking letter,
that I could not quite understand, I shot up to the Town Hall and spoke to a
friend in the Cultural Dept, she phoned the relevant department and arranged
this morning’s appointment, it was just a routine update of details etc, sadly
the Council’s computer system had crashed, so it’s going to be ‘ Hasta Manana ‘
! Watch this space.
When I returned I had, for a change, ‘Campo’
Fried Eggs on toast, with a mug of strong tea, Brenda had her usual fresh
fruit, brown toast & tea, we then sorted out the shopping list as I’m out
on my travels down to Sabinillas on Friday morning, I then wrapped up in the
waterproofs and went and collected ‘ Scruffy’ for the day, he could be staying
with us, over night, as Rose is going to the hospital today for a check up and
Adrian has his operation tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, also, little princess
‘ Reina’ is back with us for the day, watch this space.
Yesterday evening the rain returned with a vengeance,
and it has not stopped since, it’s very wet and the local hilly streets are
very dangerous, I have to go the long way around, keeping to the flat as much
as possible, when I’m out picking up ‘ Scruffy’ I then come back up the streets
to the house!
As I’ve said before ‘ When it RAINS IN SPAIN it rains’! After
yesterday when it was such a beautiful, warm & sunny day her in sunny
Manilva, the change in the weather is unbelievable, to say the least! It looks
like we are in for another prolonged spell of the ‘ wet stuff’ over the next
few days and weekend, next week is not looking much better, for now, with grey
& overcast skies, a little breeze and heavy rain at times, the temperatures
are still hovering on the 17/18 degs+ - overnight down to 11/13 degs, watch
this space.
See below a picture taken this morning of ‘
St George’s Plateau ‘ in front of ‘ St George’s Hall ‘ in Liverpool.
For our supper this evening we are having
the rest of the ‘ Chicken & Mushroom Tarragon Pie’ with a selection of vegetables
and Parsley New Potatoes, on Friday evening I making, for a change, my famous ‘
Fish Pie’ using Hake, Cod, Salmon, Prawns, Mussels etc, in a savoury White Wine
cream sauce and topped with of course Brenda’s famous Mashed Potato! Saturday
is as usual ‘ Steak Night’ and then on ‘ Mother’s Day’ on Sunday it’s going to
be a roast, possibly Beef, watch this space.
The work on the new ‘ Estepona Hospital ‘ is coming along in
spectacular fashion, as you can see in the latest pictures below, it’s on the
coast road, on our side of Estepona and when it is open will cut down the
journey, back & forth, to hospital by nearly 90 kms! Watch this space.
Yesterday evening after supper we channel
hopped and watch nothing in particular!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
