SATURDAY 30th/ JUNE 2018.
We all had a nice lie in this morning as
the village is even quieter than normal, over the past 24 hours there has been
a ‘ 24 HR Sports Marathon ‘ down at the ‘ Las Vinas Sports Complex’ and around
the village, with various Football games, Basket Ball, Climbing, Gymnastics,
Running and last night’s Bicycle Race, around the centre of the village, finishing
outside the Town Hall.
See below;
We missed most of the Cycle racing at between
10-00 pm/11-00pm as we were watching the final ever episode of the ‘Swedish/Danish
‘ police crime drama “ The Bridge “ (more later!) – so there are just a few
pictures showing the atmosphere above!
After freshening up we took ‘ Paddy’ out
for his first walk of the day, down to the bottom of the village, on the shady
part of the street, he loves his early morning walk and never want’s to come
back! We ended up sat on the ‘ Mirador’
taking in the view across the valley to the mountains and down to a sparkling
Mediterranean. He slept all night on the marble floor, he’s eating very well,
drinking water all the time, we just love him, he’s a real character, great
company, and a joy to have him with us here in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ Later after
Brenda has washed/shampooed her hair, we are going to give him his first ‘
Bath/Shampoo’ for his 4 week anniversary with us! Watch this space.
When we returned Brenda was in charge of
our breakfast so I had her famous ‘ Campo Poached Eggs on Toast’ with mugs of
strong tea, she scrambled her Eggs, in the Microwave?! ( very un-Chef’y!) We
have no plans for the weekend, we are just taking things very easy, keeping as
cool as possible, drinking lots of cold water, with all the fans on, we are now
in our full summer mode!
This morning it’s not so hot, the stiff
breeze overnight has cleared the hot sun a little bit, the sky is clear and
bright blue, there are a few clouds on the horizon, so by lunchtime it will be
around 29 degs+ - tomorrow it’s starting to get hotter, next week is going to be a very
‘hot-one’ going up to 34/35 degs by Friday, watch this space.
See below this morning sun rise over the
Mediterranean.
This weekend on the sports front; today
over in the ‘ Ladies Tennis’ in Eastbourne, it’s the final, next week Wimbledon
starts on Monday, it’s the ‘ Grand Prix of Austria ‘ at the ‘Red Bull Ring ‘ on
Sunday – meanwhile over in Russia at the ‘ World Cup Football’ the last 16
knock-out matches start today with France v Argentina & Uruguay v Portugal,
the live ‘Flat Horse’ racing is from Newcastle.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Grilled
Fillet Steaks’ – cooked on a very hot griddle-plate ‘ Med-Rare’ – then left to
rest, garnished with seared Asparagus Spears, Button Mushrooms & Shallots,
with Whole ‘French’ Green Beans & twice-cooked ‘ Frits’ – with a sauceboat
of the classic ‘ Bearnaise’ sauce. We are ordering later, when we are out with ‘Paddy’
– a ‘Roast Chicken ‘ from the local Rotisserie’ in Calle Mar, for our Sunday night supper.
As I said above we watched, after our
supper, the very exciting & excellent final ever episode of the ‘ Swedish/Danish
‘ police drama/murder series ( with sub-titles) of “ The Bridge “ – the ‘
Oresund’ flyover that connect Malmo and Copenhagen, as Saga ( Sofia Helin ) in
a triumphant climax, the fearless & brilliant detective, uncovered the
multi-killer, Susanne, the secret lover of the murdered police informant, the
rogue detective was uncovered and at the end the wheelchair bound addict, the
second killer, who turned out was the son of the police informant, and was able
to walk, was shot dead by Saga, as he
was about to kill her detective partners daughter, all this after she has been
shot by Susanne earlier, but was saved by a bullet-proof vest!
A sorrowful but fitting goodbye followed,
as Saga throws her police badge off the ‘
Oresound Bridge’ – to start a new life, ‘ Tak’ for the memories !!
PS; As I’ve been typing/posting the Blog I
have been watching, live from Llandudno, the display of the “ Red Arrows ‘ –
the ‘RAFs’ Aerobatic Team,( 9 pilots) – flying the ‘ BAE Hawk T1’ - as the town
celebrates ‘National Armed Forces Day ‘
