TUESDAY 1st/ JANUARY 2019! " NEW YEARS DAY "
We all had a little lie in this morning
after a late night for me & Brenda, sadly both Tim & Thea are a little
under the weather with colds, so they retired early. Tim saw in the ‘ Spanish’
New Year with us, as we ate our twelve grapes on the stroke of midnight, we
then watched the ‘New Year’ in for a second time from the spectacular ‘Fireworks
Display’ over in London, even bigger & better this year, on seven barges in
front of the ‘London Eye’ all set to music!
At the same time we were watching the ‘
Madness’ concert from London and on ‘BBC 2’ the annual “ Jools’ Hootenanny “
with his ‘ Rhythm and Blues Orchestra’ - with Michael Buble, Jess Glynne, Nile
Rodgers & Chic, George Ezra, Rudimental, Ruby Turner & Yola and a new
band from the USA - ‘The Record Company’
– a blues/rock band with a lead singer with a Harmonica!
Both the dogs have been very good and welcomed
little princess ‘ Reina’ back with us for the evening, she was collected later,
the ‘ Fireworks etc’ in the village this year were not so loud, I have just put
the ‘Letter Box’ back on the wall, with Tim’s help’- as in the past it’s been
blown up/off! ‘ Charlie & Chico’ slept all night as usual, this morning
after we all freshened up Brenda took them out for the first walk of the day as
I was on the ‘Breakfast Rota’ – see below a picture from yesterday morning when
Tim & Thea took them out for a long walk around the village, on a very windy day!
I made my now famous ‘ Toasted Smoked
Bacon Butties’ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce, open on brown for Brenda and
the closed for Thea, with mugs of strong hot tea, to set us all up for the year
ahead “ 2019 “
At the moment it’s very ‘ crisp’ but
most importantley dry, the sky is clearing, there is just a very slight breeze and by lunchtime it’s due to reach
17 degs+ - the rest of the week and over the coming weekend we are in for a
settled period of fine, dry, weather hovering in the high ‘ teens’ – a little
cooler during the night, next week will be the same, watch this space.
At lunchtime we are now staying local as
Tim & Thea are still not quiet back to their old selves, this evening we
are having ‘ Cold Roast Beef’ with a selection of fresh, local ‘Vegetables’ and
my now famous ‘ Pommes Risolees’ – for our dessert it’s ‘Apple Tort ‘ with
Strawberries & Vanilla Ice Cream!
PS; It was so nice at lunchtime that we decided to go down to Sabinillas in Tim's car, with the dogs, and ended up at 'Jameson's Indian Tapas Bar ' in the 'Orange Square' - we had lovely large drinks, sat in the hot sunshine, as we ordered from the small 'Tapas' style menu, Tim had a three-choice platter, Thea had two selections and Brenda a Lamb Marsala, with Frits, I had the Meat Samosas & Onion Bhajis, with a Chicken Jalfrez', all excellent and served by the host!
See below;
This afternoon on the sports front we
will be watching the ‘ National Hunt Racing’ from Cheltenham, over in the ‘
Premiere League’ Everton are at home to Leicester City and then on Thursday it’s
the ‘ Game of the Season’ as Manchester City welcome Liverpool – the old Champions
and the next Champions!!
This morning we called Norah & Jenny
on the ‘ Skype’ landline to wish them ‘ Happy New Year for 2019 ‘ – to all our
family & friends, all over the ‘ World’ and here in sunny Manilva, we wish
you a ‘ Very Happy New Year – Feliz Ano Nuevo ‘ - ‘ Health, Wealth & Happiness ‘
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
