MONDAY 13th/ JULY 2020. “ NEW NORMALITY – DAY 22 “
Just a little lie in this morning after
another hot & sticky night, down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ in sunny Manilva.
After freshening up, as I was on the breakfast rota I had my favourite ‘
Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce - open on
brown for Brenda – with her favourite sliced/seared Button Mushrooms, tossed in
a knob of butter with the Bacon juices, with mugs of hot/strong tea to start
the week in the right direction!
A good start to the week as were listening
to the ‘ Lockdown Party’ show on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW”
– the ‘ Mystery Voice ‘ came on, after a little thought I guessed correctly that
it was documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux!
The answer to Friday’s was Kate
Bush, which with even with a clue I didn’t get!
The sun was out first thing this morning,
there is a light breeze so the clouds have cleared and the sky is bright blue,
with very warm sunshine, by lunchtime it’s forecast to reach 29/30 degs+ -
overnight down to 21/22 degs+ - the rest of the week and over the coming
weekend is staying the same, going just a little cooler as the breeze picks up,
with lots of sunshine, a few patchy clouds at times, hovering in the high 20s,
the following week is still going to be a ‘ Hot-One’ – back into the mid 30s,
by next Wednesday 35degs+! Watch this space.
Sabinillas beach this morning!
Yesterday evening we managed to make
contact with Sandra & Bill, up in Hope Bay, which is over 150 kms (2 hrs)
away , sat outside on the new decking, built by Bill, he’s already taking ‘orders’
for more of them, they were sat under the car-port awning, as it was raining,
which they were enjoying, after all the very hot/humid weather back in Everett,
Ontario, Sandra was using her Mobile to talk to us on the ‘ Skype’ video link
up, they had had a ‘ big’ night on Saturday with friends on the site, as the
wine ( Spanish ) flowed! Sandra is still working from home and it looks like she
will continue until she retires in October!
Sadly the folks will now not be visiting us
this year, as the Canadian restrictions have been extended, as the USA borders
have now been closed, so no international travel for them, their flights had
been cancelled earlier anyway!
See below the ‘ Chipmunk’ that Bill was
feeding with nuts under Sandra’s feet!
This morning the ‘Council’ launched a new
urban bus line ( 6 times a day ) from the ‘Viñas de Manilva’ – going down past Manilva
Green, Pueblo Mexicano, along all the urbanisations and back to Sabinillas,
back up to the village, all for just 0-75 Euros( pensioners!)
See below; The Mayor, Mario is in the blue tee-shirt, on the right and councillors.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Fillets
of Sliced Pork’ ( TBC what to do with them) with whole Baby Carrots and
triple-cooked ‘ Chips’ The ‘ Menu’s have been agreed for the rest of the week,
tomorrow it’s going to be ‘ Omelettes of Choice ‘ with a Baked Potato, on
Wednesday we are having our favourite ‘Empanadas of Chicken ‘ – the ‘ Head Chef
and his Staff’ have as usual been given the night-off on Thursday, on Friday it
will be back to our ‘ Fish Supper’ - as usual on Saturday it will be our ‘
Steak Night’ and then on Sunday we are going order a ‘ Roast Chicken’ from the
rotisserie in ‘Calle Mar’- as we will be making ‘Ensaladilla Rusa ‘
Still no luck we re- installing our online ‘
IPTV’ system, so far, Andy is still trying various options, later this week, we only have ‘ITV & Sky News’ at the
moment, this evening we will be able to catch the next very gripping episode of
the first series of the excellent ‘Broadchurch’
“ STAY SAFE & WELL INSIDE AT ALL TIMES –
IN SELF LOCKDOWN HERE “
“ STILL WEARING OUR MASKS AT ALL TIMES, NOW THE LAW “ ( FROM WEDNESDAY)
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
