WEDNESDAY 12th/ JUNE 2019.
Another early rise this morning and a quick
freshen up before shooting off across to the ‘Estepona Hospital’ for my
treatment on my left hand at the ‘ Physiotherapy Department’ – I found spot to
park at the top of the hill, above the Hospital and then popped back down to ‘Tikitapi’
for my usual tostado & tea, before crossing over the Hospital.
As I set off the there was a stiff ‘ Levante’ breeze blowing up from the
Mediterranean, the sky had dark clouds and it was grey & dismal, with the
threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’ in the air, it’s forecast to only reach 23 degs by
lunchtime, tomorrow is the same, then from Friday and over the weekend we are
in for the start of a very hot spell, as the breeze drops, by Sunday back up to
31 degs+! Next week is looking very warm & sunny, even getting hotter at
times, up to 32 degs+ by Wednesday, during the night only down to 18/19 degs,
at all times hovering on the high 20s/low 30s, with a few patchy clouds – just in
time for Brenda’s Birthday on Saturday 22nd June!!
PS; As it happens, three birthday cards arrived in the lunchtime post today, one from Canada and two from the UK!

NB; And now a very warm & sunny Manilva with a clear blue sky, on our early evening walk!
Speaking of Brenda, back at the house she
had taken ‘ Lolo’ out for his first walk of the day, around the village and the
‘Plaza de la Vendimia’ – he had slept all night on his new beach towel, he’s
into our routine, he has a good appetite and tends to follow me upstairs to the
office/studio when I’m typing/posting the Blog.
The ‘ Second Chef’ – while I was out, has
made her famous ‘Mashed Potato’ – ready to go on the oven this evening, she
also has pre-cooked/grilled the ‘ English Pork Sausages’ – as well as the pre-cooked
‘ Yorkshire Puddings’- which will be filled with a rich ‘Onion & Shallot Red
Wine Gravy’ – which I will make later, served with Garden Peas. A ‘ loose’
version/recipe of the old classic ‘Toad in the Hole’!!
See below more details of the “ Manilva
Pride 19 “ party/celebrations taking place this weekend, down in the ‘Puerto de
la Duquesa Marina’ in the square opposite the famous ‘ Mirror Mirror Lounge Bar ‘ –
who organise all the festivities taking place, including our friend ‘ Daniela’
performing this year as ‘ Madonna’ – last year she was ‘ Cher’!
This morning over in Liverpool, at the Pier
Head the “ Queen Victoria “ has just berthed for the day, watch out for some
pictures later!
This is the last time she visited Liverpool!
And today on a very grey & misty River Mersey and Liverpool!
Today we are taking things very easy,
relaxing at home, basically doing nothing, because we can! ‘What a Life’ – after Brenda has finished the
Ironing!! A glass of wine and my
favourite ‘Cuba Libre’ – no doubt at some time, taking life in as it passes us
by, after supper settling down to watch the TV!!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
