Friday 5th.March 2010.
This week the weather has still not changed for the best, it is cloudy and overcast and the forecast for the next seven days is rain and wind, over last weekend more storms hit us and above Malaga on the main auto route to Grenada the main carriage way was washed away in a landslide down the mountain ! On Wednesday the storm hit us in the early evening and the Sky TV system was knocked out and has not come back on as I am typing the blog, we are lost without the TV, Joan’s system upstairs is still working OK but we don’t go and watch it as she likes and follows different programmes so we have missed the BBC I murder drama called Five Days which we had been watching ! It looks like we will be reading over the weekend until I sort out the problem with Sky. Out in the Mediterranean a large cruise liner on its way from Venice to Barcelona with over a thousand passengers onboard was hit by 33ft. waves and two people were killed; the pictures on the news showed the main decks being hit. This morning I had to go over to Estepona to pick up a money transfer at the Western Union office on the front and for the first time the sun was out and all the café’s had people sat outside for their morning coffee, I then came back over to the villa and picked Brenda up to go down to Tarifa to do the shopping. We still have not had any more news from Chris over in England about Joan moving back and the possible sale of the villa, its over five weeks since he first told us about his plan which was all going to happen by the end of February !!
The Loin of Pork for Sunday lunch was succulent and lasted us for a cold dinner on Monday and sandwiches on Tuesday; I made a Chicken curry for Wednesday and picked up some Liver from the English butchers this morning for next week, tonight we are having Hake fillets in batter for a change and the roast for Sunday is Chicken. Brenda as usual is going mad with the vegetable selection and of course we have lots of different potatoe dish’s with everything, meanwhile the dogs menu consists of Savory Mince and Chicken Casserole with lots of trimmings and left overs !
The film that we watched at the start of the week was a good old fashioned western featuring Robert Duvall,Kevin Costner and Annette Bening called Open Range; Michael Gambon is a ruthless rancher who shatters the peace of the two free- grazing cattlemen and the shoot out at the end is memorable ! Nothing on the sports front to report on after the excitement of the weekend so far.
I have just started to use “ Wikipedia ” and I am finding my way around the system which is very interesting, I never bothered before to use it so watch out for lots more facts about everything in the future !
