SATURDAY 24th/AUGUST 2019.
We all had a little lie in this morning
after another hot night, ‘Pucci’ as usual slept on the settees downstairs and ‘Sunny’
was on the marble floor by the side of our bed, this morning ‘Pucci’ came up
and jumped on the bed to wake us up! After a quick freshen up we took them out
for their first walk of the day, before it gets too hot, ‘Pucci’ is due be collected
in the early evening ( flight arriving on time!) – ‘Sunny’ is with us until
Monday lunchtime ( flight arriving on time!!) Watch this space.
Brenda was on the breakfast rota when we
returned so I had her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast –Scrambled for her –
with mugs of strong ‘ PG’ Tips tea, to set us up for the weekend ahead! Brenda
is in her ‘ ing’ mode, so I’m up in the office/studio on the ‘WWW’ before
typing/posting today’s Blog.
The sun was out early this morning, the ‘Lavente’
breeze has dropped, the sky is blue and so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 27
degs+ tomorrow will be the same, with a few patchy clouds hanging around, next
week is starting with the possibility of the ‘ wet-stuff’ returning, very unseasonal
for the time of the year, but still hovering on the 26/27 degs mark, during the
night still on the 21 degs mark, if it rains it will be warm! From Wednesday onwards
its now looking warm & sunny, with a few patchy clouds, still only hovering
in the high 20s, just in time for the ‘ Vendemia Wine Festival’ over next
weekend, a little cooler than normal, watch this space.
On the sports front this weekend; this afternoon
the ‘Vuelta d’España ‘ starts in Torrevieja with a Team Time Trial, over in the
UK the 3rd ‘Ashes Test’ Match at Headlingley in Leeds is nearly over
after England were bowled out for 67! Down at Twickenham in the ‘World Cup’
warm-up game it’s England v Ireland, with no Johnny Sexton, as the Irish
fly-half is injured.
Meanwhile in the ‘ Premier League’ last
night Everton lost at Aston Villa 0-2 – today Liverpool welcome Arsenal and Manchester
City have the long journey down to play ‘ AFC’ Bournemouth, over here in ‘La
Liga’ Real Madrid are at home to Real Valladolid & Barcelona welcome Real
Betis, later at the ‘ Knavesmire’ racecourse
at York, it’s the final day of the ‘Ebor’ meeting.
Just a quick picture below, of the cruise
liner the ‘ Black Watch’ berthed at the Pier Head on Wednesday before it set
sail on a five day ‘ Scottish Isles’ cruise, returning on Monday.
For our supper this evening we are having,
for a change, keeping it still very simple, ‘Grilled Escalope’s of Pork Loin’ –
with a squeeze of Lemon Juice, garnished
with seared Button Mushrooms, served with whole Baby ‘French’ Green Beans and
Baked Potatoes, On Sunday it’s going to be ‘Poached Chicken Breast’ – sliced when
cold, with a Mixed Salad and Parsley New Potatoes.
At the moment our ‘IPTV’ system has gone
off, I think it’s because the ‘PayPal ‘ payment for the annual renewal, which
Lee was sorting, has not gone through, watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
