CASA DEL ABUELO.

Sunday 26th.October.

We had a lie in after our day of settling in and also with the clocks going back;the sun is out and we have also got the animals into their routine,The fish in the pond are fed first,then the wild cats(5/7) in the garden,our two house cats come and go as they please and Bruno,who is lovely,is taken for his walk in the morning and then in the evening when we go off down the lanes with him,he knows the way and loves having stones to chase in the grass!He is very good and comes back when we call or whistle him to put him back on his lead.For our Sunday brunch I made scrambled eggs with Smoked Salmon and Brenda had squeed fresh oranges for Bucks Fizz as we sat in the mid morning sun on the terrace.In the afternoon, Brenda was by the pool as I watched the racing from Aintree and the motorcycling from Valencia before we went for our first swim in the pool which was very refreshing as by then it was nearly 25degs in the shade!I am now using my I-pod all the time after Tims daughter Jo,who is an absolute star has put nearly a thousand songs on it with all sorts of music from Classical to Ska,all listed and categorized including all our favourite artists!Lots of love to Jo.We then watched Strictly Come Dancing before we had supper,Pork Cutlets pan fried in foaming salted Brittany butter,baby Carrots,stir fried Leeks and Green Peppers in a sweet chilli sauce and sauté Potatoes all washed down with a local Vino Blanco! Later we watched Oasis,live in concert from the Roundhouse in London,who were very good, with a new drummer and a backing choir;they did all the oldies and some new songs from the latest albulm.
