THURSDAY 31st MAY 2018.
We had a nice lie in this morning, as the
village and our street was very quiet, the ‘ Contractors’ workmen are clearing
away all the mess, doing the last touches to the flag stones etc, we are now
waiting to see how it is finished, outside the Town Hall they have just put up
four new flag poles on the front of the building, all the Bars ( 6) have their
Tables, Chairs & Umbrellas out ( White!)
See below ‘ Bar Rojas and the Town Hall ‘
this morning.
After freshening up we had our normal light
breakfast of toast & tea as we sorted out the shopping list for tomorrow
morning, when I’m out on my travels down to Sabinillas. ‘ Chispa’ came calling early, she will be very
happy next week when ‘Paddy’ arrives on Monday lunchtime for (two months!) holiday. ‘Reina’ is also back
with us on Monday for three days! ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ is back to normal!
I have just been along the local Bank in ‘Calle
Mar’ for some cash, the sun was out first thing this morning and the sky is
clear and bright blue, as you can see above, it was already warm, there is just
a very slight breeze, so by lunchtime it will hotter and reach 26/27 degs+ -
the rest of the week and over the weekend it will be hovering in the mid 20s,
next week is now looking dry, settled, warm & sunny, getting hotter as the
week goes on, reaching nearly 30 degs at times, it’s looking very good for next
Thursday when our dear friends Jason & Donna are here with us in sunny
Manilva for the day/ night! Watch this space.
Yesterday afternoon I popped across to the
local Hospital in Estepona for my appointment with the ‘ Trauma Consultant ‘ She
was very thorough and gave me a good check over and re-viewed all my
records/medications etc, she then checked my ‘Dodgy’ left-hand and confirmed
that it’s ‘ Arthritis ‘ caused by ‘ Tendinitis’ – she then started me on a
course of ‘ Cortisone ‘ injections (2) in the palm of my hand, I’ve to go back in
six weeks time for more injections and then will be re-viewed for more if necessary,
watch this space.
This evening for our supper we are having ‘
Omelettes of Choice ‘ – Brenda is having Cheese ( grated Cheddar &
Parmesan) and I’m having “ Omelette Parmentier “ – diced Crispy Smoked Bacon & cooked Potato – with
a little selection of fresh vegetables and some hand-cut, twice-cooked ‘ Stringfellows’
in the ‘Basket’! Both Omelettes have the ingredients folded in, not added
before cooking, before the Omelette is tuned out/over onto a warm plate and
shaped.
This evening we will be channel hopping to
find something to watch, next week there are some new series starting/returning,
as at the moment, all the main channels are very un-interesting, with at times only
documentaries on animals, nature, flowers etc!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
