FRIDAY 5th/ JUNE 2020. “
STATE OF ALARM – DAY 83 “
For the first time in a long while we were
up bright and early this morning, after a quick freshen up I shot down to the
underground car park to pick up the car and collect Brenda at the top of our
street in Calle Mar ‘ – we then headed down to Sabinillas, ‘masked/gloved ‘ up,
for the first time in three months, through the green vine fields, on an
exploratory adventure!
Our first port of call was the local ‘Market’
( 30%) at the far-end of the promenade,
for fresh flowers for the lounge and fresh wall plants ( 10) for the various
pots! The ‘ Flower’ man was delighted to see us and gave us a little discount
as usual!
See below; ( Spot the customers!)
Next we went up to ‘Super Sol’ – which was
very quiet, it’s very well stocked, so we had a good stock up with lots of essentials
as well as some ‘ goodies’! I then dropped Brenda off at the ‘ English Bookshop’
for the local newspapers & ‘TV’ magazine, we then checked out ‘ Mercadona’
for the parking/queues etc, before shooting back up the hill to unload back at
the house. A quick toast and tea was then called for!
Next on the agenda, over the next couple of
weeks, will be trip to the ‘ English Butchers’ and a visit to ‘Mercadona’ Watch

Meanwhile over in ‘Coolum Beach’ in
Queensland, Australia, Jeff was out for his first pint in three months! “
Cheers “ !!

As we getting ready to go out we were listening
to the ‘ Lockdown Party’ show on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’
as the ‘ Mystery Voice’ quiz came on, for the first time today, it was ‘ Dame
Judy Dench’ – yesterday I was the first to guess the answer, it was the ‘ Beast
of Bolsover’ – the right-wing Labour MP ‘ Dennis Skinner’! So this week I’m 5 out
of 5!
This morning the sun was out first thing
and the sky has cleared and is now bright blue, there is a light ‘ cooling’
breeze, with warm sunshine, so by lunchtime it’s going to reach 26/27 degs+ -
overnight down to 16/17 degs+ - tomorrow and on Sunday even a little hotter,
next week is now looking settled, warm and sunny, with just a few patchy clouds
at times, with light breezes, hovering in the mid ‘teens’ – going a little warmer
by next weekend, nearly back to normal for the time of the year ( June) Watch
this space.
“ CORANAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
The ‘ Manilva Council’ after yesterdays ‘
online ‘ monthly’ council meeting have just announced a series of measures to
reactivate the economy after the ‘ Covid 19 ‘ pandemic. “ Active Manilva “
See below;
The ‘ National Government’ have just announced
that ‘ Phase 3 ‘ will start next Monday 8th June, as long that the
results etc remain good, which means that we will be able to travel between ‘provinces’
for the first time in three months – watch out Sotogrande!
For our supper this evening we are having,
for a change ‘ Pan-Seared Darnes of Salmon’ ( Super Sol) – ‘ A la Meuniere ‘
style ( Lemon & Parsley Butter) – with a classic ‘ Hollandaise’ sauce,
served with Garden Peas, Broccoli Florets & peeled Baby New Potatoes.
On Saturday we are having a large grilled ‘ Entrecote Steak’ ( Super Sol ) with
all the trimmings, then on Sunday it’s going to be ‘Baked Pork Chops’ ( Super
Sol) with fresh/local Vegetables & ‘ Lyonnaise’ Potatoes.
“ STAY
SAFE AND WELL INSIDE AT ALL TIMES “
