TUESDAY 7th/ MAY 2019.
We had a little lie in this morning, after freshening
up Brenda took ‘ Chico’ out for his first walk of the day, around the bottom of
the village, he slept all night on the marble floor, by our bed, he’s due to be
collected later this morning, as usual, we will miss him terribly, as he’s such
a character and great company, he also gets on with the other dogs, ‘ Chispa’
will miss him, as she crashes in & out all the time.
Yesterday lunchtime we bumped into Adrian
& Rose sat outside ‘ Bar Castillo’ with ‘ Scruffy’ and their family, their son
& daughter, with partners, are here for week, ‘Scruffy’ always makes a fuss
of us and gets on with ‘ Chico’ very well.
When they returned, as I was on the
breakfast rota, I had prepared a ‘ Breakfast Special’ for a change, “ ‘Campo’
Fried Eggs with Crispy Smoked Bacon & sliced Button Mushrooms ( in the
Bacon Fat) “ – Brenda with her favourite
Scrambled Eggs – lots of buttered toast, brown for Brenda, and mugs of steaming
tea, not forgetting the ‘ HP’ Brown sauce!
Early this evening we are going down to the
local surgery for our appointments with the ‘ Council Chiropodist’ – Carmen,
who looks after our feet, every 8 weeks.
Tomorrow morning I’m back out on my
travels, I have my second appointment at the ‘ Physiotherapy Department at the ‘Estepona
Hospital’- then again on Thursday, as usual on Friday morning I will be down in
Sabinillas for our weekly shopping.
This morning the sun was out first thing,
the clouds had cleared, as there was a light ‘ Lavente’ breeze blowing of the
Mediterranean, the sky is blue and it’s another beautiful, fresh and warm day,
here in sunny Manilva, down on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ By lunchtime its due to
reach 26/27 degs+ - it's now very hot, tomorrow a little cooler, then going up to 30 degs+ by
Friday, in time for the weekend, next week is looking settled, with lots of
sunshine, a few patchy clouds at times, hovering in the mid 20s, as the breeze
stiffens, watch this space.
We will be catching up with all the ‘Quiz
Shows’ that we follow, this afternoon/early evening – ‘ Countdown, The Tipping
Point, The Chase, Pointless & Eggheads ‘ – at the moment, then later we
will watch the second-leg of the semi-final of the ‘ UEFA Champions League’ as
Liverpool welcome Barcelona to Anfield, as they try to overthrow a 3-0 lead by
Barcelona, from the first leg! Watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are now
having ‘ Chicken Schnitzels ‘ – made with ‘Escalope’s of flattened Chicken
Breast’ – coated in local breadcrumbs, from the Bakery, shallow fried in
Vegetable Oil, until crisp & golden, topped ‘Holstein’ style, with a ‘Campo’
Fried Eggs, Anchovy Fillets & Capers, resting on a pool of Tomato salsa,
with lots of Lemon wedges on the side, served with finely sliced ‘French’ Green
Beans and ‘ Triple’ cooked ‘Frits’!
