A ' CRISP' & SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 27^th/ JANUARY 2019. 

Just a little lie in this morning as we are ‘ Roasting’ today, after a quick freshen up we had our fresh fruit, toast & tea before getting things on the go.

Overnight the breeze got up and this morning it’s a little cooler than the past couple of days, the sky is still blue & cloudless, the sun broke though earlier, by lunchtime it will only reach 17 degs+ - down to 7 degs during the night, at the start of next week we are in for more of the same, then from Wednesday onwards the ‘ wet-stuff’ is due to return, for 2/3 days, hovering in the mid ‘teens’ – over next weekend it will be dry with patchy clouds, the sun breaking thought also, with a light to medium breeze bringing in the new ‘Atlantic’ front, the following week is at the moment looking dry & settled, watch this space.

See below a different view of the old Docks in Liverpool, looking up & over the River Mersey.

For our supper this evening we are having ‘Roast Lemon Chicken ‘ with a savoury ‘Mixed Herb’ Stuffing, I ‘joint’ the Chicken before it goes in the oven, Legs & Thighs and the ‘ Crown’ separate, seasoned with lots of Lemon Wedges & Juices with Sea Salt, resting on a bed of assorted ‘Trivets’ - before going in the oven to roast.

The ‘ Vegetable Chef’ was meanwhile preparing Broccoli & Cauliflower Florets in a three Cheese sauce, Diced Carrots & Turnips, finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans,  Creamed Leeks,Braised Onions & Garden Peas, the par-boiled local Potatoes ( sliced in half) were tossed in the ‘ Beef Dripping’ – ready to go in the oven this evening, I then finally made my famous ‘ Finger-Licking’ Pan Gravy’ – the aromas are wafting around the house!

While I have been typing posting today’s Blog I have as usual been listening to the ‘ Pete Black Retro Roadshow ’ on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW “ – the monthly ‘Film Quiz’ came on and I got it straight away, it was the movie “ Marathon Man “ from 1976 with ‘ Laurence Olivier’ – Pete announced on ‘ air’ that I was the first correct entry and that ‘ I know my stuff’! He also told all his listeners that I was ‘ Roasting a Chicken ‘ at the same time!!  Watch this space to see if I have won this month’s Mug !

PS; I have just been announced as the winner of this month's 'Mug'' - we will now have to try, over the next couple of months, to win another !




It's in the post !!

Just a very quick update on yesterdays football results; Manchester City won 5-0 and played out of this World, sadly Everton lost, in the very last minute 3-2 in the 4^th Rounds of the ‘ FA Cup’

See below pictures of the smallest house in ‘ Great Britain’  on the Quay in Conwy, North Wales, it’s only 72 inches wide & 122 inches high!

It’s another at home day today, taking it easy and relaxing, keeping warm in front of the TV, this afternoon we will catch up with all the sports news and then this evening watch the next episode of ‘ Vera’ over on ITV.

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
