SUNDAY 12th/ JULY 2020. “ NEW NORMALITY – DAY 21 “
We had a nice lie in this morning before
the church bells (2) started calling the ‘ faithful’ to Mass! After freshening
up we had a quick toast & tea, to set us up for another day down here on
the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ in sunny Manilva!!
I’m listening as usual to “ Castle Radio FM
89,2 & Online on the WWW” – as I’m up in the office /studio typing/ posting
today’s Blog, at lunchtime Andrew Charles is presenting the lunchtime show, as
Pete Black, with his wife, is over here in Puerto de la Duquesa, at his apartment
for a two-week holiday.
PS; The show has just been cancelled due to
internet problems this week!
This morning has started a little overcast,
with a sea mist, the sun is now breaking through and the clouds are slowly
clearing, the blue sky is appearing, as there is a light breeze, by lunchtime
it’s forecast to reach 28/29 degs+ - overnight only down to 22/23 degs+ - next
week is now looking very settled, with lots of sunshine, with a few patchy
clouds hanging around at times, hovering in the high 20s all week, the
following week is still going to be a ‘ Hot-One’ as the breeze drops, with very
hot sunshine, hovering in the low 30s, later in the week going up to 34/35 degs!
Watch this space.
Meanwhile over in Everett, Ontario, Canada,
Sandra & Bill have escaped the heat/humidity and gone up to Hope Bay to the
trailer, for the weekend, again, Bill has completed the decking/garden, as you
can see below in the before and after pictures!
We have arranged to try and make contact
with the folks this evening, at 6 -00 pm our time, 12 noon over in Canada, as
when they are up in Hope Bay they don’t have very good online connections etc, Sandra
is trying to link-up via ‘Skype of Facebook’ – Watch this space.
Down the coast in Gibraltar over the
weekend, berthed in the Marina, is one of the World’s largest private sailing
yachts, the “ Eos “ – a three-masted ‘Bermuda’
rigged schooner, owned by the movie and media billionaire Barry Diller, the husband
of the fashion designer Diane von Fus¡rstenberg! The 200 feet masts are the
maximum height allowed to enable the craft to pass underneath bridges across
the globe! It’s nearly 305 feet in length, as room for 16 guests and a crew of
21, with two Chefs, three engineers, nine deck crew and captains and
stewardesses!

Just a very quick update on the football
results; Liverpool could only manage a 1-1 draw at home, Manchester City won
0-5 & Barcelona scrapped a 1-0 win to keep their title hopes just alive!
Over the weekend the ‘President of the Junta
de Andalucia’ - Juanma Moreno, announced that the wearing of ‘Face Masks’ in
all public places etc will become mandatory, by law, at the start of the week, with
severe penalties for not using them!
At lunchtime we are going along to ‘Bar
Castillo’ for a nice cool drink, sat in the shade, to meet up with our friend Brian,
for the ‘House Paella ‘ – yesterday evening on our walk, we stopped for a drink
( 1 only!) with Brian & Andy, who were having a ‘ session’ sat outside ‘
Bar Rojas Sol Vida’
Our friend Andy came along and then Brian as well, later Brian's mate Steve, who we have know for many years and his partner Denise joined us, for a nice 'Sunday' lunchtime catch-up, while eating and drinking!

For our supper this evening we are having ‘Pan-Seared
Medallions of Pork Fillet ‘ – cooked on a very hot griddle-plate, garnished
with seared Button Mushrooms and accompanied with a rich/creamy ‘Green
Peppercorn’ salsa, served with Garden Peas & Broccoli Florets, with our
favourite ‘ Pommes de Terre Rissolee ‘!

IN SELF LOCKDOWN HERE “
