FRIDAY 31st / MAY 2019.
I was up very early again this morning to
welcome back little princess ‘ Reina’ for the day, she shot onto her duvet, as
usual, I then had a quick freshen up and shot off on my travels down to
Sabinillas for our weekly shopping, as ‘ItZabar’ is on holiday, I popped along
to a local Bar for my tostado & tea before ‘ Mercadona opened, which was
busier than normal, I called into the ‘English Bookshop’ for the local
newspapers and a birthday card, watch out it could be you?!
I next called into the main ‘ White Goods’
shop ‘ Muebles Bernardo Muñoz ‘ – who are always very helpful and pleasant, for
a new ‘ Stack-Fan’ for the bedroom. It was then time to go along to the far end
of the promenade to the local market for our fresh flowers & wall plants, finally
I stopped at ‘ Super Sol’- which is being refurbished and is a total mess, the ‘
Manager’ showed me around with my list of the ‘English’ essentials!
The sun was out first thing as I shot down
through the very green vine fields, with the ‘Mediterranean’ sparking in the
morning sunshine, the clouds had cleared
and the sky was bright blue, as the breeze had got up, by this afternoon it’s
due to reach 25 degs+ - overnight hovering on the 16/17 degs mark, over the
weekend it’s going a little warmer as the breeze drops, next week starting on
Monday/Tuesday it will be 29/30 degs+ - staying in the high 20s for the rest of
the week and then going hotter next weekend, watch this space.
See below the green vine fields in the
valley below the village.
Over in Liverpool yesterday the “ Crown
Princess’ berthed at the Pier Head, the pictures below were taken from ‘ A
Ferry Across The Mersey “!
This evening Lee is joining us for supper,
we are having ‘Fillets of Hake ‘ coated in my special recipe ‘ Cruzcampo Beer
Batter ‘ – shallow fried in Vegetable Oil, until crisp & golden, served
with lots of Lemon Wedges and Homemade ‘ Tartar’ sauce, with ‘ Mushy Peas ‘ and
‘ Triple’ cooked ‘ Chips’ – a small section of light ‘Tapas’ to start and ‘
Chocolate Profiteroles’ with local Strawberries for ‘Pud’!
Tomorrow evening we have now arranged to go
out with Kevin & Caroline for supper, as it’s our last chance before they
go home to Brighton, as from Sunday we have ‘Lolo’ joining us in ‘ Doggy World
Heaven’ for her three week holiday. I
have booked a table at the “ Kinnaree
Thai Restaurant ‘ overlooking the ‘ Puerto de la Duquesa Marina’ – we are going
down in a taxi and on the way collecting the folks from their apartment in Sabinillas,
watch this space.
This afternoon and tomorrow we will be
watching the ‘Giro d’Italia’ as the next two stages are in the ‘ Dolomites’
with a colossal stage on Saturday, with five consecutive climbs! The Race
finishes on Sunday in Verona with unusually, for a ‘Grand Tour’ - a 17 kms
individual time trial?!
We are having an ‘at home’ day, taking
things easy and relaxing, we will catch up with all the news & weather
reports later, as well as all the ‘Quiz Shows’ that we follow, this evening we
will watch the final ( 5?!) Semi Final of “ Britain’s Got Talent’- then later
channel hopping.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
