MONDAY/TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY/
29th/31st OCTOBER 2012 .
Monday
morning was grey and overcast and the forecast for the rest of the week is not
good with more rain on Tuesday and Wednesday (It’s still 20degs! ) So it was an
at home day as we get ready to welcome Jane on Friday; her room is ready and we
have the weekend planned to take into account that the forecast, sadly is not
good – wet! We spoke to Tim in the morning on the Skype Video and caught up
with his news, he had seen Jo and Ben on Sunday over in Liverpool – he was just
about to go out for a game of golf at Old Colwyn Golf Club which if a remember
correctly is a nine-hole course over the hillside meadowland with wonderful
views of the Irish Sea and Colwyn Bay ! The par three seventh at just 162 yards
is signature hole – come on Tim what was your score ?! On the BBCIPlayer I
caught up with Saturday Morning Kitchen and a very good Top Gear Special on the
Bond Film cars ! In the evening we had Pan Fried Fillets of Chicken with all
the left-over vegetables and Potatoes from Sunday !
On Tuesday
it was no better so we had another day in and caught up with our reading,
Brenda is on book three and I’ am on Book two in the 50 Shades trilogy; the
pictures below of Hurricane Sandy hitting New York just show a few of news
pictures and the damage caused – it is like something out of a disaster movie –
unbelievable ! For supper we had Pan Fried Liver, sliced thin and dusted with
flour and seared ‘ Pink ’with Crispy Smoked Bacon, well cooked English Pork
Sausage, Sauté Onions and Tomato and a Jus-Roti made from Sunday’s gravy –
Brenda did a little selection of vegetables and Baby New Potatoes – comfort
food for the gods !
Today,
Wednesday it has stopped raining and the sun is trying to get out; the dog came
crashing in as she has not been able to get out during the last two day’s rain
storms ! I have just made a large pan of Chicken Curry for dinner tonight. The
picture below of the council with the Mayor Antonia shows them overlooking the
Plaza Pozo Del Rey development as they
are laying the top layer of cement/concrete over the car park, in between the
rain – the picture is from the council web-page as I’ am not able to gain
access to the site! Brenda has just gone down to the surgery for her blood pressure
test but the nurse has not shown up so she is carrying on down on the bus from
outside the surgery, as planned, to go down to Sabinillas for her appointment
at the hairdressers for the full works !
We are well
into the Bond season of films on the Paramount Film Channel; so far this week
it has been “ The Man with the Golden Gun from 1974 with Roger Moore,
Christopher Lee and a young Brit Exland,now there’s name from the past ! Then “
The Living Day Lights ”from 1987 with Timothy Dalton and a large cast of actors
from the time and finally “ Tomorrow Never Dies ”from 1997 with Piers Brosnan!
PS;
Tomorrow is a National Bank Holiday – “ All Saints Day ” One of the main things
that take place is that everybody visit’s the family plots in the graveyards,
which are unusually full of flowers.
Thought for
the Day;
To one who
has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is
possible.
