MONDAY 20th/ MAY 2019.
I was up early this morning, not for the
last time this week, after a quick freshen up I shot off across to the ‘Estepona Hospital ‘ for my first, of three, appointments
this week at the ‘ Physiotherapy Department ‘ for more treatment on my
left-hand. I found a spot to park, opposite the Hospital and called into ‘
Tikitapi’ for my usual tostado & tea, before crossing over to the Hospital.
On the way back I went up to the large ‘ Poligono’
in Estepona to the ‘ Car Supermarket’ for Coolant & Oil, I then shot back
along the coast road, past a calm & sparkling Mediterranean, on a beautiful
morning, down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’
I’m going back to Estepona this afternoon
to the ‘ Bus Station’ to pick Brian up, as his plans have changed, again, he’s
not now collecting a hire car from Malaga Airport, I’ve’ just checked the ‘
Flight Arrivals’ as yesterday there was a major problem at ‘Manchester Airport’-
with over a hundred flights cancelled, due to a ‘Power Problem’ with the refueling
systems?! His flight has taken off and at the moment is on time, he then
catches the bus from Malaga Airport to Estepona.
Today the sun broke through early and the
sky is cloudless & blue, there is just a very slight breeze, making it a
beautiful sunny day, perfect for the time of the year, by lunchtime it will be
27 degs+ - going a little warmer each day, by the weekend up to now 31 degs+ -
overnight hovering at 17/18 degs+- next week is looking the same, staying in
the mid to high ‘ teens’ – watch this space.
For our supper this evening the ‘ Head Chef
& Second Chef’ have prepared a ‘ State Banquet ‘ to welcome the ‘King of
Liverpool – The Blue Side’ - to start
there is a small selection of his favourite ‘Tapas’ – for the main course it’s ‘Pan-Seared
Medallions of Pork Fillet’ – garnished with Button Mushrooms, accompanied with a ‘ Green Peppercorn Salsa’ – served with
Glazed Carrot Batons, Broccoli Nature & Whole Baby ‘ French’ green Beans,
with a large dish of ‘ Breton’ style Potatoes, diced boiled Potatoes, tossed in
Vegetable Oil with diced Onions& Shallots and Red, Green & Yellow
Peppers. For the ‘ Pudding’ we are offering ‘ Apple Tort’ with Strawberries
& Vanilla Ice Cream. A selection of wines will be on offer as well as
chilled beers to start, a special ‘ Cocktail’ to finish!
Yesterday evening we went across to the ‘Plaza
Pozo Del Rey ‘ in the centre of the village for the election party, for the
Mayor, Mario, party “ Compromiso “ - the
bar was free ( beer/soft drinks) – the large ‘BBQ’ offered a large selection of
meats etc, it started with a local ‘ Flamenco Group’ – then ‘Political’ speeches
– followed by a local Band. The ‘ Plaza’ was full, on the way home we called
into ‘ Bar Castillo’ for a nice cool drink and some light ‘Tapas’
