MONDAY/FRIDAY 17th/
On Monday morning after breakfast we went for a long walk with Cheta; she is going in to the vets in the evening for a trim and wash, the weather forecast for the week is good, sun and more sun with the temperatures in the high 20s.We are having a quite week at home, taking it easy, reading, watching the TV, walking and spending time on the terrace for Brenda. In the office I’ am catching up with the e-mails, the blog and Facebook as well as occasionally Twittering! During the day I also watch on the BBC IPlayer the latest Jools Holland shows,SCD,QI,Saturday Morning Kitchen, Something for the Weekend and Spooks which is getting very exciting and is nearly up to the final episode ever ! In the evening after supper we followed one of the series on the TV about
In the morning on Tuesday I made some Boulangere Potatoes ready for dinner; we are having them with Lamb Cutlets, Baby New Carrots and Cabbage with Alselgas for dinner later. I then logged onto the ‘ Tour de France 2012 ’web site which I’ am registered on and watched live from Paris the ceremony to launch the route for the 2012 tour; it was very interesting and gave you lots of details, they are going to new climbs as well as some of the classic’s, there are more time trials and it is starting in Belgium, they have stages to Boulogne-sur-Mer,Rouen,Epernay and Macon all places that we know well so it looks like it is going to be a great Tour, the year after 2013 will be very special as it is the centenary of the Tour.
Mano and Anna called in on Wednesday afternoon to ask us to look after Derrick for a week as Anna is going over to Tenerife to see SallyAnn and the grandchildren, she has found a very cheap flight and will be away from today,Friday,they have just dropped him off on the way to the airport at Malaga; In the morning I made a Beef and vegetable stew with Potatoes . Scouse ’for dinner.
This Thursday as Mano was off we went down to Sabinillas to do the shopping as he was going to meet us at the garage to check the tire pressure on the Smart Car because the details are in German and the Air pressure pump is in Spanish and kilo’s ! We had a drink up at Bar Rojas later with them outside under the Sonbajo as the weather is sill very warm and sunny, it is our favorite time of the year. In the evening we had Pork Chops for supper and then watched the Spanish soap that we follow ‘Cuantame ’ which is about a Spanish family in
Today, Friday, Mano and Anna dropped Derrick off and took Brenda down to Sabinillas on their way to the airport so that she could pick up the English papers, some birthday and anniversary cards; it is our Ruby Wedding this year on the 29th November. It only seems like yesterday that we where at Port Sunlight church in the autumn sunshine and brown leaves! I have just gone off-line as I’ am typing this to watch the second half of the Rugby World Cup from New Zealand, Wales lost 21 – 18 in the third place play off final to Australia but played well and scored a very good try in extra time, if they had converted their penalty kicks they could have won ! Tonight we are having Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas for supper before we settle down to watch a film on the TV.
PS; We have just had a long and newsy message on Facebook from Brian over in
PSS; On the council web page today there is a suggestion that the Roman Kiln might be saved !

Thought for the Day;
The only people you need in life are the ones that find the time for you; do not make someone a priority if they only consider you as an option.
