MONDAY 15th/ JUNE 2020. “
STATE OF ALARM – DAY 93”
Just a little lie in this morning at the
start of a ‘ Helluva’ week in sunny Manilva, after freshening up as I was on
the breakfast rota, as usual, on a Monday morning, I had my favourite ‘ Dockers
Butty ‘ – on local bread, a 'Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty ' on brown for Brenda, with
her favourite sliced/seared Baby Mushrooms, tossed in the bacon juices with a
knob of Butter, some of which made it into my Butty, with mugs of strong/hot tea
on the side, to set us up for the week ahead!
Sadly this morning I didn’t guess the ‘
Mystery Voice’ on the ‘ Lockdown Part’ show on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 &
Online on the WWW’ – I’m still trying, watch this space.
On Thursday ‘ Scruffy’ is booked in for a
sleep-over, with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ - until Friday afternoon, unless
Adrian’s appointment is cancelled again, on Friday evening we are going out for
our ‘ Fish N’ Chip ‘ supper, with Mushy Peas, down to ‘Marlows’ – along form
Sabinillas- then later for a nice cool drink in ‘Castillo de la Duquesa’ – then
on Sunday we are back out celebrating Brenda’s birthday at ‘ Restaurante Delfines’
in ‘Castillo de la Duquesa’ Watch this space.
Yesterday evening on our walk we bumped
into Brian & Andy, outside ‘ Bar Rojas Sol Vida’ and joined them for a
couple of drinks, at lunchtime they had joined us at ‘ Bar Rojas’ – as well as
Mano & Carlos, which was very busy, for their first Sunday open - the ‘Paella’
run out, so Brain ended up having Baby Snails in a ‘Piquante’ Salsa! ( 3
Tapas!)
For our supper we had the ‘ Roast Chicken ‘
from the ‘ Rotisserie’ – which was perfect, juicy & succulent and very
tasty, ‘Maria Chicken’ has retired and her son-in-law and daughter have taken
over, they have expanded the ‘Menu’ and now deliver, it was very busy, with
over 40 orders!
See below.
After breakfast Brenda ‘ masked/gloved’ up
and went along the ‘ Chemists in ‘ Calle Mar’ for our prescription tablets, she
then walked down to the local Monday market, on the ‘Plaza Pozo del Rey’- for
some fresh fruit and flowers.
We have a glorious start to the week, down
here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – the sun was out earlier, there is a light
breeze, so the clouds have cleared and the sky is bright blue, it’s still ‘
fresh’ and very warm & sunny in the sunshine, by lunchtime it’s forecast to
reach 27/28 degs+ - overnight down to 15/16 degs+ - as the breeze drops it’s
getting a little warmer each day, with lots of warm sunshine, with just a few
patchy clouds, hovering in the high 20s - raising to 30 degs+ by Saturday/
Sunday, when we will be out & about, the following week is even looking more
hotter, watch this space.
“ CORANAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
We are now into ‘ Phase 3’ in ‘ LOCKDOWN’ –
one of the strictest ‘Coranavirus’ lockdowns in the World, which is due to end
this coming Sunday as the final extension ( 6TH) to the ‘ State of
Alarm’ finishes at mid-night, fears of new outbreaks is prompting the regional
governments ( 17 ) who now control the rules etc, to limit the changes, to Bars
etc, as well as still not allowing free movement between the provinces, despite
it being in the ‘ Phase 3 ‘ laws/regulations!
Spain will reopen the borders, on Sunday
the 21st June, to all ‘ EU’ states, but not Portugal, including the
UK, despite it’s no longer in the EU! Travellers
arriving in the country will no longer be required to stay in quarantine for
two weeks, travellers from outside the European Union & Portugal and the ‘Schengen’
free-travel area will be permitted to enter Spain from July 1st
For our supper this evening we are having
the rest of ‘Roast Chicken’ along with Mixed Salads and Parsley New Potatoes.
On Tuesday it’s going to be ‘ Grilled Pork Steaks’ on Wednesday Homemade
Hamburgers ( local Butchers) – then on Thursday ‘ Pan-Seared Chicken Wings’
with Baked Potatoes, we are out on Friday for our ‘ Fish Supper’ and then on Saturday
it will be our ‘ Steak Night’ – Sunday is the ‘ Staffs’ day-off, so we are out
for a special lunch at ‘Restaurante Delfines’ to celebrate ‘ Brenda’s ( ** )
