FRIDAY 1ST MAY 2020. “STATE
OF ALARM DAY 48 “
“ INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY – LABOUR DAY “
After freshening up, as I was on the
breakfast rota I had a ‘ Toasted English Pork Sausage Butty’ – smothered in ‘
HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda – with mugs of hot/strong ‘ PG’ Tips
Tea – to get the ‘ Bank Holiday ‘ weekend on the go!
As usual we were listening to the ‘
Lockdown Part Show’ on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW ‘ – the ‘
Music Quiz’ came on and I got it straight away, it was ‘ Cyndi Lauper’ with ‘
Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ – sadly I have not got two of the ‘Mystery Voices’
this week ( Timothy Dalton & Jane Horrocks) – but at my second attempt
today I got it right, it was ‘Catherine’
the ‘ Duchess of Cambridge’!
The sun was out early this morning and the
clouds have cleared and the sky is bright blue, there is a very slight breeze,
so by lunchtime it’s going to reach 28 degs- overnight down to 15 degs – at the
moment it’s very warm & sunny, over the weekend it’s staying the same, next
week is now looking very similar, with lots of warm sunshine, with just a few
patchy clouds at times, hovering in the mid/high 20s, all week, by next weekend
going a little cooler, as the breeze picks up, with the threat of the ‘
Wet-Stuff’ back in the air, watch this space.
“ CARONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
Yesterday evening the ‘Health Minister’ –
Salvador Illa – announced the conditions of ‘ Phase 0’ - under which adults may
go out for walks and exercise, starting tomorrow, on Saturday 2nd
May!
See below;
Older people with carers and seniors over
70 years of age ( US!) have been given our own time slots, each day, of 10am to
12 pm and 7pm to 8pm! All within one-kilometer radius of your home, once a day!
Later
in the evening the ‘Prime Minister’ Pedro Sanchez’ announced that he would be
asking the ‘ Congress- Parliament ‘ in Madrid, to extend the ‘ LOCKDOWN’ for
another 15 days from May 10th
“ Given with One Hand – Taken by Another “
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Goujons of Hake Fillet ‘ – coated in a ‘Tempura Cruzcampo Beer Batter’ –
shallow-fried in Vegetable Oil – until crisp & golden, accompanied with
lots of Lemon Wedges and ‘ Homemade Tartar’ sauce (Brenda) – served with ‘
Batchelors Mushy Peas’ ( thanks Leah!) and
of course triple-cooked ‘ Chips’
Last night after supper we watched the
first episode of the return of “ The Real Marigold Hotel’ as the celebrities; ‘
Britt Ekland, Duncan Bannatyne, Dame Zandra Rhodes, Paul Eliiott, Henry
Blofeld, John Altman, Susie Blake & Barbara Dickson’ – arrived in India and
got their first taste of the chaotic traffic, colours & smells of the ocean-front
city of Puducherry!
Later we caught the first episode of the
return/remake of ‘ Van der Valk’ – the cynical Dutch detective – in Amsterdam –
capturing all the tawdry beauty of the city, as he and his team investigated
two murders, a kidnapping and political corruption, with ‘Marc Warren’ in the
title role.
PS; The first/last time I was in Amsterdam, was
back in 1952, with my Mum & Dad, eating ‘ Frits’ from a paper cone, with
Mayonnaise!
“
STAY SAFE & SOUND INSIDE AT ALL TIMES “
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
