SATURDAY 6th/ OCTOBER 2018.
We managed a little lie in this morning
before the sound of 2/3 workmen/painters on the roof/patio of the new apartment
block next to us in the side street, woke us up! ‘ Spanish’ workers are loud & noisy !!
After a quick freshen up we took ‘ Chico’
for his first walk of the day around the bottom of the village, he slept all
night under the bed, as usual, when we came back Brenda was on the breakfast
rota, so we had her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast, Scrambled on Brown
for her, with mugs of strong tea, later she is shampooing he hair, I will be up
in the office/studio on the ‘ WWW’ and then later typing/posting today’s Blog.
Lee then called in to help with various technical
problems on the computer system, after all the excitement of the past couple of
weeks, he’s updated the ‘Skype’ system to the latest version, re-set a payment
method on the ‘BBC I Player’ control system, which means that we now have
another way to watch live TV, when the new ‘ IPTV’ system is ‘ acting-up’- as
well as updating the ‘ITV Hub’ for the same reason. He then cancelled the ‘ Spotify’
account, which at the moment I don’t need.
Finally he installed the new Online Banking
System, with our Bank, which was great news as the ‘Bank’s Fraud Department’
had yesterday reimbursed the missing money!! “ RESULT “
NB; More good news as the ‘ Euro’ exchange
rate, against the Pound, this weekend, has gone up to it’s highest, for nearly
six months, meaning that one of our main transfers on Monday will be up, for
the first time in months!! “ RESULT “
Now for some not so good news on the weather
front over next week and then the following week, when the folks are here from Canada,
today & tomorrow it’s still going to be warm & sunny, reaching 29 degs+
- from Monday it’s changing, still warm & sunny , hovering in the mid 20s,
with patchy clouds, going a little cooler, as the breeze blows in and with on
one of the forecasts, lots of ‘ Rain’ – from Tuesday onwards, especially the
following week, despite it hovering in
the low 20s, so the ‘ wet-stuff’ will be warm! They can buy their umbrellas here!! Watch this
space. ( Sorry!)
Over in Liverpool this weekend the “ Royal
De Luxe “ – ‘ GIANTS’ – created in the mind of the eccentric French ‘ Artist’ –
Jean-Luc Courcoult, from Nantes, with a team of over 100 hundred
workers/puppeteer’s have taken over the City Centre, the Docks and the Wirral!
See a selection of pictures above;
This evening for our supper we are having a
large ‘ Grilled Rib of Beef’ – on the bone, cooked on a very hot griddle-plate ‘
Med-Rare’ – then left to rest, before taking it off the bone and slicing it
into fingers ‘ French’ style, garnished with seared Asparagus Spears &
Button Mushrooms, with a classic ‘ Bearnaise’ sauce on the side, with whole ‘
French’ Green Beans, not forgetting
another ‘French’ classic, twice-cooked ‘
Pont Neuf’ – ‘Frits’ ( Doorsteps!)
On the sports front this weekend; Lewis
Hamilton is on the Pole position, his 80th – over at the ‘Japanese
Grand Prix’ at Suzuka, on Sunday, as Ferrari made an error on tyre choice.
Over here in ‘ La Liga’ lowly Alaves
welcome Real Madrid and tomorrow Barcelona travel across to play Valencia, back
in the ‘UK’- Everton travels down the M6 to play Leicester City and tomorrow,
in the ‘ Match of the Day’ Liverpool welcome Manchester City – with Klopp v Guardiola- the two top managers
going head to head, watch this space.
After supper ‘ fingers crossed ‘ we will be
channel hopping and watching later the excellent and very gripping, next
episode of “ Killing Eve “
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
