SATURDAY 28th/ SEPTEMBER 2019.
We had a nice lie in this morning, the last
one for the next 7/8 days, as when the family from Canada arrive tomorrow
lunchtime it’s going to be all go, one ‘ Helluva’ week ahead!
After freshening up, Brenda is
washing/shampooing her hair later, we had a nice treat for our breakfast, I had
the old classic “ Eggs Benedict “ – our version made with a toasted Brioche
Bun( with Sesame seeds) (classically
Muffin) Spanish ( should be Canadian)
Smoked Ham, ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs ( Brenda!) and then covered in ‘Bearnaise’ (
originally Hollandaise) sauce!
See below;
Brenda had her favourite sliced Mushrooms (
a little knob of Butter) on brown toast,
with of course, mugs of strong ‘ PG’ Tips Tea, to set us up for the day ahead,
Brenda is on a full-on ‘ ing’ mode!
I have shot up to the office/studio and
went on the ‘ WWW’ to catch up with all the news and then set up later all the ‘Departure
& Arrival Flight’ details to follow the family as they fly from Montreal
into Malaga, leaving Montreal on ‘ Air Transat 106’ at 8-40 pm their time, this
evening and arriving down here at Malaga, at 9-35 am tomorrow morning! Watch
this space.
Only joking, the snow was just light!!

PPS; Here are the family at Montreal Airport waiting to go check their baggage, then go through to the departure lounge for a drink!
PPPS; Their flight departed on time and is on En Route & On Scheduled!!
This morning started a little cloudy and
overcast, as usual, the sun had now broken through and the sky is clearing, by
lunchtime it’s due to reach28 degs+ - tomorrow going a little hotter, just in
time for the folks arriving, next week is still going to be very hot &
sunny, but the breeze is picking up a little, so it will be hovering in the
high 20s, up to 30 dges+ by Tuesday/ Thursday, when we are out on our travels ‘trips’!
The overnight temperatures have also dropped a little, 17/18 degs at times,
making it still bearable, about normal for the time of the year, watch this
space.

For our ‘ Last Supper’ this evening, as the
