THURSDAY 24th/
JANUARY 2019.
We overslept this morning and so our day is a little behind, to say the
least, after a quick freshen up we noticed that Lyn was trying to make contact
from Melbourne, so we then spoke to Jack & Lyn on the ‘ Skype’ video, they
are both looking very well and our staying inside, with the air conditioning on
full-blast as the temperatures over in Australia are at a all-time high, 29
degs+ overnight and reaching 41 degs+ during the day!
The great news is that they have just received
in this morning’s post the ‘Christmas Cards’ that were posted on the 30th
November 2018! Over the past few weeks they have seen a lot of their extended family
both on Jacks & Lyn’s side, meaning lots of ‘Great Grandchildren’ running
around! We had a good catch up with all their news, Jack has been given a good
report from his ‘Heart’ Consultant, with a six month review, Lyn is in fine
health, she had just had her hair cut short.
We then had a late toast & tea as we
sorted the shopping list out for tomorrow morning when I’m out on my travels
down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping. Brenda then popped along to the
local Chemists in ‘Calle Mar’ for the rest of our prescription tablets as well
as a little shopping.
Today it’s looking a lot better, but still
very cold & ‘Fresh’ – the sky is clear and blue, with no clouds, the sun is
out and there is a light breeze blowing down from the mountains behind the
village, for a change, by lunchtime it due to reach 18/19 degs, tomorrow even
warmer, but still going down overnight to 8 degs! – over the weekend it’s
staying dry & sunny, but going a little cooler, next week is looking
settled, dry & sunny, with patchy clouds at times, hovering in the mid ‘
teens’ – still very cold in the shade,
watch this space.
Bill, Malcolm & Tim !!!
For our supper this evening we are having our
favourite ‘ Pan – Fried Chicken Wings’ - well seasoned and then cooked in their own
juices until crisp & brown all over, they need to be turned on all sides
and well-cooked, Brenda likes to hand-pick at hers and I take mine off the
bone! Served with some finely sliced ‘ Fresh’ Green Beans and a Baked Potatoes,
that are “ Microwaved “ by the ‘ Second/Vegetable Chef’ to perfection, another
one of her specialities!
We are taking things very easy today,
keeping as warm as possible, relaxing and basically doing nothing, it’s even
more quiet with no dogs for company with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ at the
moment, ‘Chispa’ is in & out to see us all the time, later we will watch
all the ‘ Quiz Shows ‘ that we follow and then channel hop to find something to
watch.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
