THURSDAY 5th/ SEPTEMBER 2019.
We all had a nice lie in this morning after
another very ‘ sticky’ night’s sleep, ‘Scoobie’ stayed on his mat in front of
the window, we then freshened up, before Brenda took him out for his walk of
the day, around the bottom of the village, he’s with us until sometime on
Sunday, when they returned, as I was on the breakfast rota, I had prepared my
famous ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Butty’ for myself, -smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown
sauce – open on brown for Brenda, with mugs of strong tea.
I then retired upstairs to the
office/studio to go on the ‘WWW’ before typing/posting today’s Blog. Brenda is
pottering around in her ‘ ing’ mode finding things to do.
Yesterday evening we went down to ‘
Castillo de Duquesa’ to the ‘La Taberna 2’ for our supper, the lady owner, Deb,
her husband owns ‘ Marlows Fish n’Chip ‘ shop, greeted us and we had a nice
table sat outside in the cooler evening air, we were just in time for the ‘
Early Bird Menu’ so we choose from the two-course selection, Brenda had a very
nice & generous ‘Warm Goats Cheese & Crispy Bacon Salad’ – while I had,
for a change, the excellent, individual ‘ Huevos Rancheros’ – a Fried Egg resting
on a very rich Tomato/Chill & Pepper Salsa, then topped with soft Cheese
and Baked in the oven! It was excellent and very tasty, the Egg was hard, I prefer
it soft, as they do on the ‘ Feria’ stalls, using a very large ‘Paella’ pan,
with lots of Eggs cracked into it!
Brenda for her main course choose the ‘
Dish of the Day ‘ – ‘ Grilled Pork Loin Steaks’ with a savoury Green Pepper
sauce, two small steaks, cooked perfectly and very succulent & tasty, I
had, you’ve guessed, the ‘ Grilled Sirloin Steak 250 grams’ – served ‘Rare’ as
I asked for, with a little of the Green Pepper salsa on the side, with ‘Hand-Cut’
chips?! Brenda had sautéed Baby New Potatoes, both dishes came with a small selection
of Vegetables, Carrot Batons, Garden Peas & Broccoli & Cauliflower ‘Mornay’
( a little over cooked)
Brenda had the excellent ‘House White Wine
( reasonably priced) while I had my usual ‘ Cuba Libre’ ( expensive) – a ‘Cafe
Cortado’ to finish for Brenda, with the complementary ‘House Limoncellos’ A
very pleasant evening out, for the first time in a while, after the summer hordes
have gone home.
This morning the sun is just breaking through,
there is a very light breeze, so the sky is clearing slowly, by lunchtime it
will reach a very ‘ close’ and warm 28 degs, - with just a little threat of the
‘ wet-stuff’ hanging in the air, tomorrow and over the weekend it’s going a
little cooler, as the breeze stiffens, hovering on the 24/25 degs mark,
overnight still only down to 20/21 degs+ - next week is now looking to stay the
same, going a little warmer as the week goes on, back up to 31 degs by next Wednesday,
watch this space.
Earlier in the week, over in Liverpool, berthed
at the Pier Head, the “ MS Black Watch “ of the ‘Fred Olsen Line’ ( see below )
made a visit to the City, the plans have just been passed for a spectacular new
‘ Cruise Liner Terminal’ with a ‘
shimmering Zinc skin’! ( see below)
Tonight we have given the ‘ Staff’ the
night off, again, after yesterday evening when the ‘ Boss’s’ went out to play,
down on the ‘ Costa Del Sol, so they are going out for a light ‘Tapas’ supper
along at ‘ Bar Castillo’ if it’s open, as all the other Bars, along ‘Calle Mar’
are closed after the weekend celebrations! Watch this space.
This week we watched, the over evening, the
first episode of yet another excellent ‘BBC TV’ Police drama, about deceit,
delusion and video fakery, “ The Capture “ starring Callum Turner, as a
soldier, who has just been released from an overturned Murder conviction, with
his posh lady barrister played by Laura Haddock and Holliday Grainger as a young ‘ high-flying’ – ‘ fast-tracked’ senior
Detective, who is having an affair with her senior boss, the lady barrister
goes missing and it all kicks off! Catch it if you can.
Last night we caught the next episode of “
Deep Water ‘ over on ‘ITV’ as the lives of the three women, living in Windermere,
in the Lake District, got even more complicated, as the true story
unfolds, at the very end there was a harrowing and surprise attack on one of
them?!
“ Countdown 25 Days “
