SUNDAY 23rd/ DECEMBER 2018.
I was up very early this morning and shot
straight out, down to the ‘Puerto de la Duquesa Marina ‘ to collect our pre-ordered fresh ‘Turkey’
etc, from the ‘ English Butchers’ – I also bought the ‘Pigs in Blankets’ – made
with his Pork Sausages & Streaky Bacon, ‘Gammon Steaks’ for another day and
I could not resist a Boned & Rolled ‘Aged Entrecote Beef Joint’!
Back at the house ‘ Chico’ spent the night
on his blanket and ‘ Charlie’ for the first time came and joined us on the rug
on my side of the bed, Brenda then took then out for their first walk of the
day, where I met them outside the underground car park entrance, as I was
putting the car away, when we returned Brenda was on the breakfast rota so we
had her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast with mugs of strong Tea, to set
us up for the day ahead.
It was then time to get this evenings
supper on the go, a ‘Roast Loin of Pork’ – which I managed to cut-off two ‘Pork
Steaks’ from, for another day. We are keeping it simple with a small selection
of fresh, local Vegetables and of course my famous ‘Goose-Fat Roast Potatoes’-
accompanied with a sauceboat of ‘ finger-licking’ Pan Gravy and Glazed ‘ Fuji’
Apple slices. The ‘ Turkey’ is going in the oven on Christmas Eve, Monday, to
roast, the Butchers took off the Legs & Thighs, the ‘ Crown of Turkey’ will
be roasted in the traditional way, and a rich Pan Gravy then made from the
residual juices etc!
The day has started a little grey &
overcast but still with a full ‘Red Sun’ coming up above the Mediterranean as I
was going down this morning, by lunchtime it’s due to break through as the
clouds clear, hovering on the 17/18 degs+ mark, next week is now looking
settled, dry & sunny, with patchy clouds at times, staying in the high ‘
Teens’ – by next weekend leading up to the ‘ New Years Eve’ celebrations the –wet-stuff’
could return, watch this space.
See below a spectacular picture of Colwyn Bay, North Wales, showing the ‘ Expressway’
yesterday evening.
As I’ve been typing/posting today’s Blok
the main ‘ Manilva Xmas Parranda Band’ has passed down our street. ‘ Christmas’
must be just around the corner!!
See below;
Just a very quick update on the football
results so far; Barcelona won 2-0, Real Madrid won 4-1 and sadly Manchester
City lost, at home 2-3, making Liverpool top of the ‘Premier League’ by 4
points!
We are taking the rest of the day very
easy, relaxing and basically doing nothing, because we can!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
