SUNDAY 5TH/ JULY 2020. “ NEW
NORMALITY – DAY 14 “
We had a nice lie in this morning, as the
village was very quiet until the church bells (2) started ringing, calling the ‘
faithful’ to Mass! After freshening up we had our regular fresh fruit (peeled/sliced
Nectarines) with toast & tea.
One of the new bells !
One of the new bells !
It was a little cooler overnight and this
morning there is a light breeze coming up off the Mediterranean, the sky is
cloudless and blue, the sun was out first thing after a spectacular sunrise, so
by lunchtime it’s going to reach 28/29 degs+ - overnight down to 20/21 degs+ -
next week is going to be very hot & sunny, with just a few patchy clouds at
times, hovering in the high 20s, by next weekend back into the low 30s, on
Sunday 34 degs+! - The following week is going to be another ‘ Hot-One’ – watch
this space.
' Manilva Sunrise '
Over in Liverpool yesterday on the River Mersey, a strange site of the cruise liner ' Viking Sun' berthing at the Pier Head, with no guests, just with a skeleton crew of 77, as it needed technical repairs after being hit by a storm in the ' Irish Sea'!

Just a quick update from last Thursday when
the ‘ Head Chef & Second Chef’ were given the night off, they went along to
‘ Bar Castillo’ after first having a nice cool/large drink at ‘ Rojas Sol Vida’
Mano & Anna came along and joined us, as they are going there regularly, as
Anna likes the ‘ Fresh Orange Juice’! ( it is very good)
Brenda had the ‘ Dorada Frito’ – ‘Diced Sea
Bream in Tempura Batter’ – I had to
start the excellent ‘ Tortillitas de Camarones ‘ – Baby Shrimp Crispy Pancakes –
followed by the ‘ House ‘ – ‘ Pollo a la Plancha, Huevo Frito(2) & Patatas
Fritas ‘ – ‘ Grilled Chicken Fillet, Campo Fried Eggs & Frits’! The drinks flowed, later Brian’s
Swedish friends, Peter & Rose Marie, joined us, after Mano & Anna had left,
for a night cap!

This week we have still be having problems
with setting up a new ‘ IPTV’ system, our friend Andy has been very helpful, he
had called in on Friday when I was ‘ Out’ and set up another one ( 3rd)
– but we are still not very successful, yesterday he found another one, but it
only stays online for 30 mins! – ‘Plan E’ is required! Watch this space.
On the sports front we have not been
watching anything; during the week Liverpool lost to Manchester City 4-0! Today
they are at home to Aston Villa and City are down at Southampton, tomorrow Everton
go down the M6/1 to play Tottenham Hotspur. Over here in ‘La Liga’ Real Madrid
are now 4 points ahead of Barcelona, as they travel today to play Athletic
Bilbao & Barcelona are at Villarreal.
Yesterday afternoon, we watched, with
difficulty, the ‘ Derby’ from Epsom, as ‘ Serpentine’ was the stunning runaway
winner at 25-1! A very strange experience,
as usually Epsom has a crowd of over nearly 1 million, yesterday nobody!
On the ‘Menu’ front this week; on Friday,
after my ‘ Away Day’ we had our ‘Fish N’ Chip’ supper ( Goujons of Hake Fillet
in Breadcrumbs etc) – last night for our ‘ Steak Night’ it was ‘ Grilled
Entrecote Steaks’ with all the usual trimmings, today Brenda has prepared all
the ingredients for my famous ‘ Ensaladilla Rusa – Russian Salad ‘ – at the
same time poaching ‘ Chicken Breasts’ for our supper this evening, which we
will have cold & sliced with Mixed Salads also!
