THURSDAY 17th/ JANUARY 2019.
We overslept again this morning so we
had a quick freshen up and grabbed our fresh fruit, toast & tea, as we put
together the shopping list for tomorrow morning when we are out on our travels
down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, Brenda is joining me as she wants
to go to the ‘ English Bookshop’ for some birthday cards.
‘Chispa’ came calling this morning just
as we were having our breakfast, yesterday lunchtime she joined us on our walk,
she is in & out all the time and is missing all her friends, just like we
are!
This morning it’s ‘ crisp’ and clear,
the sun is out already and the sky has cleared, with no clouds, as there is a
light breeze blowing up from the Mediterranean, by lunchtime it’s due to reach
17 degs+ - tomorrow it’s going to be more of the same, then on Saturday we
could be in for some of the ‘ wet-stuff’ – Sunday is looking dry with patchy
clouds and then next week is showing different on the three forecast that I currently
follow?! The temperatures are hovering in the mid ‘teens’ – 14/17 degs+ - down to
6/8 degs at night, patchy clouds, with the sun breaking through at times, with
the ‘ wet-stuff’ still in the air, on one forecast, all the time?! Watch this
space.
The new ‘Estepona Hospital ‘ is on
budget and time for opening later this year, which will be good news for us,
cutting down our journey time & distance, see below the latest picture.
For our supper this evening we are
having the rest of the ‘ Beef & Vegetables Stew with Dumplings’ with the
left-over potatoes & vegetables from last night, the ‘ Dumplings’ were to
die for, real comfort food for the ‘gods’!
It’s still ‘ Fish Night’ on Friday,
depending on the Market Fish Counter, then on Saturday our regular ‘ Steak
Night’ – on Sunday we are having a ‘ Roast Leg of Spanish Lamb’ studded with
Garlic & Rosemary, resting on ‘ Boulangere’ Potatoes.
See below a small picture Blog showing
the ‘River Mersey’ and the ‘ Ferries Across the Mersey’ – the ‘ Dazzle Livery ‘
is on the “MV Snowdrop “ inspired by the First World War camouflage, the ‘Royal
Liver Building’ picture was taken yesterday!
This afternoon/evening we are taking
things very easy, relaxing and basically doing nothing, because we can, keeping
as warm as possible in our current ‘ Cold-Snap’ – very unusual for the time of
the year, the first time that we have had this sort of weather since we arrived
down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ back in 2006!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
