Well we had
a well deserved lie in on Sunday morning after all the excitement of Saturday;
for breakfast we had Brenda’s famous ‘Poached Eggs on Toast’ it looks like the
rain has passed us by and we are in for sun and clear skies for a few days. We
have started the process of drying out the car, we have to take it to the
ITV(MOT) centre in Estepona on Wednesday morning ,very early, so fingers
crossed ! Tim has just been on the Skype Video as I was typing this as he has
just read the blog about our adventure on Saturday-so we caught up with his
news, mainly about Jo and Ben and their life at University in Liverpool and Ormskirk! Brenda had another
appointment at the surgery for a blood pressure test tomorrow but they have
just cancelled it until next Monday. So today was a sports day – the Davis Cup
tennis was on all day on TVE1 as Spain played the Czechs in Prague, Spain lost,
they were the holders, over in America the grand Prix was on a new spectacular
track in Austin Texas – Lewis Hamilton beat Vettel so the World Championship
title goes down to the final race in Brazil next weekend with Alonso only
having an outside chance against Vettel.I caught up with all the football on
the Spanish highlights programs – over in England City, Liverpool and Arsenal
all had good wins but Everton lost and Utd also lost 1-0 to Norwich! Over here
no change with both Barcelona and Real Madrid winning,Messi
scored two but sulky Ronaldo did not get on the score sheet ! For supper we had
Steak a la Plancha with Chips before settling down to watch the late film,
earlier we had watched “ Appalosa ”from 2008 – a really good Cowboy yarn with
Ed Harris, who also directed the film,Vitto Mortesen,Jeremy Irons and Renee
Zellweger as the love interest! The late film was “ Freedomland ”from 2006
starring Samuel.L.Jackson and the excellent Julianne Moore in a very riveting
crime drama with a twist !
Thought for
the Day;
Education
is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that
nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
