Tim, Malcolm & Bill !
I was up early this morning to see little
princess ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, as usual, she shot upstairs and got
under the duvet on our bed, to join us for a little ‘ surprise’ lie in this morning, as we are now
not going across to Estepona as we had planned, as we have another major
problem with the car! ( See below )
Yesterday afternoon I went down to the ‘Council’
underground car park to go down to the main ‘ Medical Centre’ for my ‘ B12
Vitamin ‘ second injection, as I went to start the car there was no clutch
pedal, it was down on the floor with no pressure?! I shot back up to the house
and called Pedro, at the garage, he came and picked me up, at the same time I
rang the surgery and cancelled the appointment, He checked the car out and soon
discovered a pool of ‘ Dark Stuff’ under the front of the car, I drove his car
to the garage and he brought our car along, by putting it into 1st
gear, then starting the engine and driving slowly!
We are waiting to hear the ‘ bad news’ – watch this space. When Rose & Adrian collected ‘ Scruffy’ later, we bought the car off Rose, they reminded us that it had a new clutch pedal etc just before we bought it?!

We didn’t have a very good night’s sleep, this
morning after freshening up, Brenda shot off to the local sub-post office to
post a birthday card, before the rain storms hit us later, when she returned I
had prepared our Breakfast of ‘ Campo’ Scrambled Eggs on Brown toast for her, I
had a ‘ Toasted Campo Fried Egg Butty’ – with mugs of strong, sweet, tea, to strengthen
us for the day ahead!
This morning has started grey &
overcast with black clouds on the horizon, a stiff breeze is bringing in the
rain storms, strong winds and more snow on the mountains, later, all across
Spain, with lots of the ‘ Regions’ on high alert, over the next two days! The
overall temperature is down to 14 degs
by lunchtime, on Saturday the storms are forecast to have passed and the
sun will return to the ‘ Costa Del Sol ‘ – hopefully! We are then in for a
period of dry, warm and sunny weather from Sunday and into next week it’s now looking
warm, sunny & settled, rising to 23 degs+ watch this space.
Tomorrow morning I’m now having to go down
to Sabinillas on the local bus, as it dosn’t run on Saturday, for our weekly
shopping, I will have to wrap up in the waterproofs and brave the storms, I
will then get a taxi back up to the house.
For our supper this evening we are now
having the rest of the ‘ Beef Casserole’ with the leftover vegetables and ‘
Mashed’ potato, the weekend Menu’s, from
tomorrow are unchanged.
Last night after supper we watched the second
leg of the ‘ Quarter-Final UEFA Champions League’ as Real Madrid welcomed Roma
to the ‘Santigo Bernabeu Staduim ‘ with a 3 away goal, first leg lead, Roma
then went on to pegging the tie to 3-3 thriller, scoring 3 away goals themselves,
in the 97 minute, after the veteran Italian goalkeeper ‘ Buffon’ was sent off
for ‘ aggressive reaction’ to the English referee ‘ as he was playing his final
game in the ‘ Champions League’ Ronaldo’ scored the winning penalty, before bearing
his chest/abbs to the adoring fans!
Today sees the start of the 3-Day ‘ Grand
National’ meeting at Aintree, we will be following the racing on the excellent ‘
ITV’ coverage, this year could see the first female jockey win the ‘ Grand
National’ as there are 3 ladies riding in this year race, all with a chance,
watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
