THURSDAY 31st/ OCTOBER 2019. “
HALLOWEEN “
I was up very early this morning and after
a quick freshen up I shot off on my travels, first down to Sabinillas, I called
into ‘ ItZabar’ for my regular toast & tea, before shooting along to the ‘newish’
Mercadona – along the coast road before Estepona, for our weekly shopping, it
was very busy as people stocked up for the ‘Bank Holiday ‘ weekend.
I then came back to the ‘ English Bookshop’
in Sabinillas for the local newspapers, before dropping down to the ‘Puerto de
la Duquesa Marina’ to call into the ‘English Butchers’ for a “ Leg of English Lamb’ for our Sunday ‘ Roast’
– after unpacking back at the house I was lucky and found a spot to park the
car on the road-side in front of the ‘Wine Museum/ Theatre and Fire Station’
Brenda had a little lie in before taking ‘
Sunny’ out for her first walk of the day, around the bottom of the village, She
is due to be collected on Sunday, ( ‘Sunny’ not Brenda!) - on next Monday/Tuesday little ‘ Miss Bella’
is back with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’
This morning the sun was breaking though,
above the Mediterranean, as I came down through the vine fields, there is a light
breeze and a few patchy clouds hanging around, the sky was blue, by lunchtime
it’s forecast to reach 26 degs+ - the same tomorrow.
Then over the weekend as the cold/wet ‘Atlantic’
front comes in, it’s going colder, down to 20/21 degs, on Saturday/Sunday, with
heavy rain, for the first time in nearly 10 months! Next week is now looking like we are in for
more of the same, even going a little cooler, hovering in the low ‘ teens’ – by
next Saturday down to 15 degs! -
overnight next week down to 14/15 degs and by next weekend as low as 9 degs!! Watch
this space.
Yesterday evening over in Llandudno, North
Wales, they had a spectacular ‘ Fire Works Display’ – from barges, in front of
the promenade, lighting the sky above the bay & town!
See below;
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Pie & Chips’ – using the rest of the “ Chicken & Mushroom ‘Tarragon’ Pie “ with
a small selection of Vegetables and triple-cooked ‘ Chips’ On Friday it’s going to be a ‘ Fish Supper’
and then on Saturday it’s our usual ‘ Steak Night’ with ‘Fillet Steaks’ – on Sunday
we are having the ‘ Roast Leg of English Lamb’ with all the trimmings, resting
on my classic ‘ Boulangere’ Potatoes, or as they are know by Sandra & Bill,
over in Everett, Ontario, Canada “ Malcolm’s Potatoes “!!
Yesterday evening we caught the first episode
( three more to follow) of a stylish contemporary drama, with a strong vein of
black humour, set in and around Edinburgh, “ Guilt “ – about two brothers who
become accidental murderers, as the they drive home after a wedding, starring
Mark Bonner & Jamie Silva, one to watch!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
