SUNDAY 9th/ DECEMBER 2018.
Just a little lie in this morning, ‘Scoobie’
slept all night in little prince ‘Paddy’s’ bed, while he spent the night on our
bed, he settles down and dosn’t move until we all get up, after a quick freshen
up we went out for our first walk of the day, around the ‘ Plaza de la Vendemia’
– later today ‘Scoobie’ is due to be collected, we will miss him terribly and
love having him with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ - meanwhile ‘ Paddy’ is as usual for of beans,
he love’s jumping up on anything, tables, chairs settees etc, he follows me
everywhere and sits at my feet as I’m sat typing/posting the Blog, he’s being
picked up later on Wednesday.
After a quick breakfast of toast & tea
we got today’s ‘ Sunday Roast ‘ on the go; the local ‘ Chicken’ was rubbed with
Sea Salt & Lemon Juice, before going in a hot oven, resting on a bed of seasoned Vegetable Trivets, the ‘ Second/Vegetable
Chef’ prepared Broccoli & Cauliflower Florets in a three Cheese sauce, glazed
Carrot Batons & Turnips, whole ‘ French’ Green Beans & Garden Peas, as
well as par-boiling the sliced Potato halves, which I then toss in the hot ‘
Goose Fat ‘ – ready to go in the over this evening, I then made a ‘Mixed Herb
Stuffing ‘ and my famous ‘ Finger-Licking’ Pan Gravy, the aromas are wafting
around the house.
We have yet another perfect day down here
on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – the sun came out early and the sky is bright blue,
not a cloud in sight, as there is a slight breeze, by lunchtime it will be 20
degs+ - overnight down to 12 degs, next week is still looking dry & sunny,
cloudy at times, with just the very slight chance of some of the ‘wet-stuff’ –
hovering in the low 20s, going cooler during the week, next weekend is also
looking settled, sadly the following week
leading up to the ‘ Christmas Weekend ‘ is forecast to be a little damp &
cold, when both ‘ Charlie & Chico’ are due to arrive on Tuesday18th! Watch
this space.
The “ Gastronomic Food & Wine festival “
has been very busy and very well
received, yesterday the ‘ Wine Competition ‘ was very good, there were lots of
local Choirs, including the new ‘ International Amateur English Choir’ which
some friends sing in, today it’s the ‘ Parranda Bands Competition ‘
See below:
Just a quick update of the sports results;
Liverpool won 0-4 and went top of the ‘Premier League’ as Manchester City lost
2-0 – their first defeat of the season (21) – Barcelona won 0-4 with Messi
scoring two goals.
After supper this evening we will be
watching the ‘Final’ of “ I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!” after the
results of the ‘Semi-Finals’ of “ Strictly Come Dancing “
While I have typing/posting today’s Blog I
have been listening to the ‘ Pete Black’ Road Show’ on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2
& Online on the WWW’ – he has a ‘ Film Quiz’ – I got last weeks, I have
also got this week’s one correct “ Love Actually ‘ with Hugh Grant! – so we are
in the monthly draw, again, for the ‘
Mug’! Watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
