We were both up very early this morning
and after a quick freshen up we shot down to Sabinillas as the sun was coming
up above a sparkling Mediterranean, to go to the main ‘ Medical Centre’ for
Brenda’s Blood tests etc, at the same time I made an appointment for my monthly
‘V12’injection tomorrow morning, with the Practice Nurse’- I also booked Brenda
in for her review/check up with our Doctor, Natalia, for next Wednesday
morning.
I then called into the local Garage to
top up the car with petrol, we then had toast & tea in ‘itZabar’ before the
‘English Bookshop’ opened, as Brenda needed a few more ‘ Christmas Cards’ – we are
now back at the house and will set off a little later across to the ‘ Costa Del
Sol Hospital’ for my appointment at the ‘ Rehabilitation Department’ for a
review of my left-hand problem, on the way back we are calling into Estepona
for some ‘Xmas’ essentials ( Candles & Night-lights) etc.- where we also bought
a new small mat/rug for the space between the table & settee.
As usual as we drove across to the
Hospital it gets a little warmer, it’s one of the most beautiful days, at this
time of the year, crisp & sunny with a clear blue sky, no clouds and the ‘Mediterranean’
still and sparkling, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 18/19 degs+ - the rest of
the week and over the weekend is staying the same, getting a little warmer,
with just a threat of the ‘wet-stuff’ still in the air, next week is now
looking even better, settled with warm sunshine hovering in the low 20s, watch
this space.
We checked into the Hospital at the main
reception desk and chased up Brenda’s appointment with the ‘ Heart Consultant’ –
we are still waiting for the phone call! After a long wait in the ‘Trauma/Rehab
Department’ we were taken into the lower part of the Hospital, through the long
subterranean corridors, to see the ‘ Traumatologia Consultant’ – who after
checking all my details/X-Rays etc and pressing my left-hand, she confirmed
that I have ‘ Arthritis ‘ and must exercise my hand all the time, she is also
referring me to the ‘ Estepona Hospital ‘ form some Remedial Therapy, watch
this space.
For our supper this evening we are
having ‘ Posh Chicken & Chips’ – Chicken Escalope’s pan-seared in a ‘Lemon
& Balsamic Vinegar’ Butter salsa, with whole ‘ French’ Green Beans and of
course twice-cooked ‘Chips’ Tomorrow evening it’s going to more ‘Chicken’ as we
are having the rest of last week’s ‘ Chicken & Mushroom Curry ‘ with
Basmati Rice.
On Thursday, as it’s our ‘47th
Wedding Anniversary’ so we now planning to go out for supper, down to the ‘Puerto
de la Duquesa Marina’ to the “ Kinnaree Thai Resturante “
This evening we will be back to channel
hopping on the ‘ Spanish TV’ system as the ‘IPTV’ system after maintenance, has
not come back on, Iv’e tried all the usual re-sets, with no luck, so we are
going to have to wait until Saturday, as both Lee & Daniela are away on
extended Business/Holiday’s over in the UK! Watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
