SATURDAY 19th/ JANUARY 2019.
We had a nice lie in this morning, as
usual, the village is even more quieter at the weekend, we then
showered/freshened up, later this morning Brenda is washing/shampooing her
hair, it was then time for breakfast, Brenda was on the breakfast rota so she
prepared her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs.
I fancied, as a treat, the classic “
Eggs Benedict “ – first introduced at ‘ Delmonico’s Restaurant ‘ in Lower
Manhatten, back in the 1860! The original recipe calls for ‘ English Muffins,
Canadian Cured Ham & Hollandaise Sauce ‘ – my version today used local
toasted Muffins, sliced in half & buttered, a large slice of ‘ Spanish
Smoked Ham & Bearnasie Sauce’! – a very tasty recipe !!
See below;
Overnight the ‘RAIN’ arrived down here
on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – we can’t complain as it’s the first in nearly three
months! This morning it’s grey & overcast, colder and damp, with more of
the ‘ wet-stuff’ to come, by lunchtime only reaching 14 degs, tomorrow is
looking a little better & dry, with patchy clouds, there is a light breeze,
picking up over the weekend, next week is now looking mostly dry & sunny,
going a little warmer, up to 17 degs+ - but by next weekend it’s going colder
again, down to 12 degs, overnight 5 degs, with the threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’
in the air all the time, the following week is looking very wet on the long
range forecasts! Watch this space.
Just a update on yesterdays ‘Blog’ about
the terrorist arrest in the village, it turns out that it all took place this
week, on Tuesday, as a 27 years old Moroccan man was detained in a dawn raid,
in the abandoned part of the complex down at the bottom of the village, now shown in a ‘Policia Nacional’ video. The
jihadist terrorist was taken to jail to be interrogated, he had been monitored
for a few months, as he was preparing earlier last year to bomb/shoot at one of
the 3/ 4main ‘Ferias/ Festivals’ in the centre of the village of Manilva, back
in 2018!!
For the past few years the problem of
squatters in the complex has been going on, there is no electricity or water,
but they maintain the lifestyle by taking the water from the street wells, in
large containers, and connecting wires to any source that they can find! The ‘Council’
& Police are monitoring the problem all the time, watch this space.
On the sports front this weekend; over
in the ‘ Premier League’ Liverpool are at home to Crystal Palace and Everton
have the long journey down to Southampton, tomorrow Manchester City travel
across the Pennines to play Huddersfield; over here in ‘La Liga’ Real Madrid
are at home to Sevilla and Barcelona welcome Leganes, the ‘ National Hunt
Racing’ this afternoon is from Ascot.
This evening for our supper we are
having ‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks ‘ – cooked on a very hot griddle-plate ‘
Med-Rare’ – Pink no blood, garnished with seared Asparagus Spears, Banana
Shallots & Button Mushrooms, with whole ‘ French’ Green Beans and hand-cut
( Brenda) – twice-cooked – ‘Stringfellow Frits’!
This afternoon we will be watching the ‘Jump
Racing’ and then this evening we will channel hop to find something to watch,
later catching a good film.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
