LA CASA DEL ABUELO.

TUESDAY/SATURDAY 30TH/4TH DECEMBER 2010.

Well after the excitement of the weekend we have stayed in the villa this week as it has got a little colder but the sun has still been around during the day; all the animals are fine and Joan is eating and sleeping well. On Tuesday we had Spanish Lamb Cutlets with Boulangere Potatoes, on Wednesday I made a large pan of Chicken Curry and on Thursday we had Omeletts made with Eggs from the Chickens next door; the old lady drops in all sorts of fruit and vegetables as well as the eggs every week, the Omeletts end up bright yellow as the yolks are very strong! Yesterday we had Hake in Breadcrumbs with homemade Tatare sauce along with Potatoes Bravos, diced cooked potatoes in a rich and savory Tomato sauce, and tonight we are having Rib Eye Steak and chips with all the trimmings.

Clive and Carolyn finally managed to fly back to London from Barbados late on Friday but now with the surprise strike by the Spanish air traffic controllers today we are into guessing again as to when they will get back here! Joan’s home help who had to fly back to England a couple of weeks ago for some treatment at a specialist hospital went to the airport this morning to fly back and got caught in the mayhem, she does not know when she will be able to fly so we have arranged for her cover to come for another week just in case. Meanwhile over in Australia Jack and Lyn on their cruise have come down the west coast stopping at Freemantle,Bunbry.Albany and then Adelaide before they get back to Sydney next Wednesday; today is Lyn’s birthday so “ Happy Birthday” to you !

We are looking forward to going home next Tuesday/Wednesday to Manilva and getting ready for Christmas; Brenda is writing the cards as I am typing this so keep an eye on the post for your card from sunny Manilva ! We hear that they are getting the Red carpet out in the village as we have been missed !!


Thought for the Day;

You can’t shake hands with a clenched fist.
