MONDAY 10th/
TUESDAY 11th/ DECEMBER 2012.
Today,
Monday was a at home day as the rest of the week we are out and about down here
on the Costa Del Sol, the hottest spot in Europe at the moment! Brenda is into
one of her cleaning modes, this week it is the curtains; we are reading in the
afternoon and also we catch a film as at the moment it is not siesta time! The
post arrived late on Monday afternoon and in it was a Xmas card from our old
and very loyal Assistant Manager at the Hotel Seventy Degrees Kelvin; in it he
had written a short note about the changes in his working life in the last
year-we just had to ring him over in Ruthin for a catch up as the news was
unbelievable;Basicly he has totally changed his life style, he no longer owns
and runs his own business but now works for ‘ Wetherspoon’s ’ as the General
Manager of their new Hotel in the centre of Ruthin! We have since exchanged
E-Mails and now have all the details – only to say that we wish him all the
very best for the New Year in his career and are already looking forward to
seeing him and his wife Gaye down here in sunny Manilva in 2013!!
PS; Mano
and Anna sent their regards.
For dinner
we had Pork Cutlet with the rest of the Boulangere Potatoes before we settled
down to watch a film; in the late afternoon we had caught “One Eyed Jacks” from
1961 starring Marlon Brando in the only film that he directed in his career,
Karl Malden, Ben Johnson, Slim Pickins, Katy Jurado and Pina Pellicer made up
the rest of the cast in this classic Western. The late film was a very good
true story courtroom drama called “Heavens Fall” from 2007 with Timothy Hutton
as the crusading lawyer and David Statham as the Judge, it is the story about
the ‘ Scottsboro Boys ’back in the 1930s in Alabama, at the end it tells
you what happened to all the characters at the end, don’t miss it !
On Tuesday
we pottered about the house and in the afternoon went across to the Bus station
in Marbella to pick Gillian up; on the way we called into San Pedro to pick up
some more Xmas cards and a box of the executive crackers to go along with the
standard box, depending on if you are on the ‘ A ’or ‘ B ’list! In the
afternoon we caught up with excellent BBC2 TV series ‘Inside Claridges ’ and
then for supper we had flattened Fillets of Breast of Chicken pan-fried in
foaming Butter with square chips and our Homemade Tomato sauce on the side. I
then channel hopped around the Spanish TV.
Thought for
the Day;
Television;
A medium – so called because it is neither rare nor well done.
