SUNDAY 16th/ SEPTEMBER 2018.
We all had another little lie in this
morning, ‘Percy’ slept on the bed and as usual ‘ Reina’ was in her duvet, she’s
due to be collected later today, we are waiting to hear when she is back next
week, it’s the end of ‘Percy’s’ second week, he’s due to be picked up next Saturday,
after freshening up we took him out for his first walk of the day, when we returned
as the ‘Head Chef’ was on the breakfast rota, we had ‘Toasted Crispy Smoked
Bacon Butties’ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce, open on brown for Brenda, with
mine topped with a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg, as we picked them up, from a small local
shop, down by the bus stop, as we were out!
This morning has started very cloudy &
overcast, with a cooling breeze, blowing down from the mountains, it’s forecast
to clear up by lunchtime, as the sun breaks through, reaching 28 degs, when it
will be back to warm & sunny, just like yesterday, next week is looking dry
& settled, partly cloudy at times, hovering on in the high 20s, with a
cooling breeze getting a little stronger over next weekend, keeping the
temperatures down a little, the threat of the ‘wet-stuff’ could still be in the
air at times, watch this space.
Just a quick update on the sports results
from yesterday; Liverpool won 1-2, Manchester City won 3-0 & Barcelona won
1-2, over in Singapore at the ‘ Grand Prix’ – Lewis Hamilton produced one of
the best laps of his career to take a surprise pole position, described as “
Epic, Magic & Overwhelmed ‘ by him!
Meanwhile Britain’s Simon Yates increased
his lead, again, in yesterday’s last mountain stage and goes into today’s final Stage 21 as the winner, as tradition
dictates that he’s not attacked on the final stage, making him the third Briton
to win this year’s three Grand Tours, today stage goes from Alcorcon to a
street circuit around Madrid over just 100 kms.

Early this evening we are making contact on
the ‘ Skype’ video with Sandra & Bill over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, for
chat & catch up with them, they have old friends of Sandra, from Morecambe,
arriving and are planning to go away with the trailer for a roadtrip! It’s only
4 weeks today, when the folks arrive down here in sunny Manilva for two weeks, staying
at a very nice apartment down in Sabinillas, we are getting rather excited, to
say the least, watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Pan-Seared
Medallions of Pork Fillet’ accompanied with a creamy ‘Green Peppercorn’ sauce, with
finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans & glazed Carrot Batons, and my now
famous ‘Breton’ style Potatoes ( boiled/diced
& tossed with assorted Peppers & Onions)
Last night after supper we settled down to
watch the first episode of “ Killing Eve “ – a spy thriller – with a sly sense
of humour, with a lady psychopathic assassin running wild, around Europe,
killing people, with her hairpin, with a bored lady MI5 security officer, starting
to trace her, while having a normal everyday home life, ‘Sandra Oh & Jodie
Comer’s’ double act makes it unmissable TV, with six gruesome killings all
ready!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
