FRIDAY 17th MAY 2019.
I was up very early this morning and after
a quick freshen up I shot off on my travels, well actually I didn’t get
started, as the car didn’t start! It sounds like the battery is dead, I called
into the Police Station and they called a taxi for me, I just made my
appointment at the main ‘ Medical Centre’ for the Blood tests etc.
I
then walked along to the ‘ English Bookshop’ for the local newspapers and two
birthday cards, next I did our main shop in ‘ Mercadona’ – they then called a
taxi for me, it took me to the local market at the far end of the promenade for
the fresh flowers & wall plants, he then came up the back road to our
Garage, where Tony is sorting out the problem ‘ASAP’- I left the car keys with
him, to sort out a new battery, finally the taxi carried on back to the house
to unload.
PS; I have just popped along to the Garage to check out what us happening, the car is there and they are working on it, we should have it back later today, delivered to the house ' Fingers Crossed ' - all of them!!
I called the main ‘ Medical Centre’ to
cancel our appointments at noon, for our ‘ Diabetic’ check up/review, ‘
fingers-crossed’ ( on one hand only) that he gets it sorted quickly, as we need
the car for first thing on Monday for my
‘Physiotherapy’ appointment and later in the afternoon when I’m picking up ‘ Big
Brian’ from the Bus Station across in Estepona?! Watch this space.
In ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ we now have ‘
Sunny’ joining us for the first time, on Tuesday 28th for her trial ‘short-break – she’s back in the middle
of August for her two-week summer holiday.
See her below.
Next week we have another new dog coming to
see us, cutie ‘Pucci’ – who will be with us in August, also, for a 4 day ‘short
break’ and possibly for a longer stay over Xmas, depending on other bookings (
Charlie!) etc.
See her below.
Yesterday evening the ‘ Iglesia de Santa
Ana – The Church of Santa Ana’ was floodlit for the first time after all the
repair/update work had finished, on Saturday the ‘ Bishop of Malaga’ is
arriving for the day to celebrate and bless the Church.
See below;
Also on Saturday, down in ‘Castillo de la Duquesa’ it’s the annual “
International Day “ – when all the local foreign communities have food &
drink stalls, with traditional music & dancing and social activities.
See below;
This morning as I set off the sun was out
and the sky had cleared as there was a stiff/cool breeze blowing, down from
behind the village, across the mountains – a ‘Poinente’ – so by lunchtime it
will only reach 24 degs+ down to 13 degs overnight, over the weekend we are in
for more of the same, staying a little cooler, next week, as the breeze drops,
it’s now going warmer, with lots of sunshine, just a few clouds, hovering in
the mid 20s, by next weekend back up to 29 degs+! Just in time for our week of being out &
about with all our friends visiting us from the UK! Watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having a
‘Pan-Seared Fillet of Salmon’ for Brenda and I’m having a ‘Pan-Seared Fillet of
Hake’ – both finished ‘ A La Meuniere’ style, with Broccoli Florets &
Garden Peas and Parsley New Potatoes, on Saturday it will be a large ‘Grilled
Rib of Beef’ on the bone, with all the trimmings, then on Sunday we are going
to have a late ‘ Brunch’ as the Mayor, Mario, has asked us to a Election Party
for his ‘Compromiso’ party, taking place in the ‘Plaza de Pozo Rey’ in the
center of the village, with live music and dancing, a light buffet & BBQ –
all taking place in the early evening! Watch this space.
Last night we caught the last episode of “
15 Days’ – as the dysfunctional families split up, with one son and another
father killed, as the first killer was uncovered, after more flashbacks, the land deal went ‘ pear-shaped ‘ – all dark & very black – as it all
took place in the ‘ Black Mountains ‘ in South Wales! This evening we will be
back to channel hopping to find something to watch.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
