SUNDAY 18th/ NOVEMBER 2018.
We had another long lie in this morning
after a good night’s sleep, after freshening up it was time for fresh fruit,
toast & tea to set us up for the day ahead. Brenda is washing/shampooing
her hair and I’m up in the office/studio on the ‘WWW’ before typing/posting
today’s Blog.
Overnight the forecasted rain storm didn’t
hit us, the ‘ Costa del Sol’ and adjacent area is on ‘ ORANGE ALERT’ for the
next 24 hours, the ‘wet-stuff’ started this morning and as we got up the
heavens opened, with thunder in the distance, it looks like it’s in for the
rest of the day, it’s grey & overcast with lots of black clouds, the
overall temperatures are hovering on the 16 degs+ mark, overnight down to 12
degs, very unseasonal! Next week it’s forecast to be raining everyday, heavy at
times, with no change in the temperatures, even going a little cooler by next
weekend, the following week is looking a little better, with the sign of some
sunshine ( what’s that?) Watch this space.
Early this evening we are contacting Sandra
& Bill on the ‘ Skype’ video, the time difference is still 6 hours, so we
call at 6-00 pm here, mid-day over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, hopefully this
time with a better much better connection,
weather permitting! Watch this space.
This evening for our supper we are
having ‘ Baked Pork Chops ‘ (English) – topped with a Mixed Herb Crust, I sear
them on a very hot griddle-plate before smearing the Crust on, then they are
baked in a hot oven with ‘ Fuji ‘ Apple Slices, with the ‘ Crackling’ separate,
accompanied with a sauceboat of a rich Oxtail Gravy, the ‘ Vegetables Chef ‘ is
preparing Glazed Carrot Batons with Ginger, Cauliflower Florets ‘ Mornay ‘ -
whole ‘ French’ Green Beans & Garden Peas, as well as Boiled Potatoes,
which I will then finish ‘ Breton ‘ style, diced & tossed with chopped
Shallots, Red, Green, & Yellow Peppers.
Just a quick update on the Rugby
results; Wales won 74- 24 against Tonga, England beat Japan 35-15 in a hard-fought
game, the ‘ World Cup ‘ is in Japan next year, Scotland lost to South Africa 20-26
and over in Dublin Ireland held their nerve to earn their first home win over
the ‘ All Black – New Zealand’ 16-9 – with the help of Johnny Sexton! – a possible
‘World Player of the Year’!!
It’s definightly a ‘stay at home’ day, -
we will relax and take things very easy, basically doing nothing, because we
can, next week we have no appointments etc, I will only need to go out on my
travels for the weekly shopping on Friday, in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ we are also
very quiet, little princess ‘Reina’ who is back with us on Friday morning, for
the day and a sleep-over, otherwise all our regular guests ( 4) are booked in
for December! Watch this space.
Thought for the Day; See above.
