WEDNESDAY 12th/ DECEMBER 2018.
We had a long lie in this morning, in fact
we overslept a little! Little prince ‘ Paddy’ spent all night across the foot
of our bed with a blanket over him, he’s being collected later this afternoon,
we are going to miss him terribly, he’s a real character and very loving, very
good company and always full of ‘ Vim’! ‘Chispa has been in to say good-by to
him!! Next week both ‘ Charlie & Chico’ are due to arrive on Tuesday, for their
extended Xmas Holidays into the New Year. Watch this space.
After freshening up Brenda took him out for
his first walk of the day, around the bottom of the village, meanwhile I called
into the Town Hall, to arrange/reserve a spot in the underground car park for Tim
& Thea, when they are with us over the New Year, for 3/4 days, I then managed
to get a ‘spot’ down in the lower level, with an entrance key, at a very good
rate!
While we were out the ‘ Council ‘ water-wagon
washed down our street, we then had a quick toast & tea before getting
another day on the go, Brenda popped down to local shop for some essentials, while
I retired to the office/studio to catch up with all the news etc on the ‘ WWW’
and then type/post today’s Blog.
The forecast for today is partly cloudy
with the sun breaking through later, reaching 18 degs+ by this afternoon, at
the moment it’s a little grey & overcast, with a light breeze, sadly on all
the forecasts (4) tomorrow it’s going to be raining and a lot cooler, as the
breeze gets up and brings in another ‘Atlantic’ cold & wet front, oh dear !
Just as we are setting off across to Malaga, on the ‘Pensioners’ coach to see
the ‘Xmas Light’ show and then go for our ‘Anniversary’ supper!! The rest of the week and over the weekend is
staying dry & sunny, but cooler, next week we are in for a very unsettled
time, with patchy clouds, colder at times, and lots of the ‘ wet-stuff’ –
hovering below 20 degs, overnight down to 9/10 degs, up to the ‘Christmas’ Weekend, watch this
space.
This coming weekend, on Sunday, down at the
‘Santa Ana Church’ at noon, it’s the Annual ‘Christmas Carol Concert’ with all
the local Choirs and the ‘ School of Music’ Band playing a selection of Spanish
and a couple of English Carols!
See below;
At lunchtime I’m making this evenings
supper “ A Casserole of Sliced Beef Steak’ in a rich ‘ Red Wine, Mushroom &
Onion/Shallot ‘ sauce, served with glazed Carrot Batons & Garden Peas &
Parsley New Potatoes in their skins, tomorrow we are out for supper, hopefully,
unless it’s cancelled! On Friday we are having a ‘ Fish n’Chip’ supper and
Saturday is ‘ Steak Night’ – then on Sunday we will keep things simple as we
are out at lunchtime for the ‘ Christmas Carol Concert ‘ Watch this space.
This afternoon& evening we will be
channel hopping to find something to watch, last night after watching the “ The
Royal Variety Performance “ – ‘ Cirque Du Soleil ‘ stole the show with a
spectacular display, we watched a very good film “ The Departed “ – a crime
drama directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon,
Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Ray Winston & Alex Baldwin!! A
‘ Helluva’ cast, they are all killed bar one, watch it to find out who
survives!!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
