THURSDAY 28th/
NOVEMBER 2013.
Well as you
can see below we had a ‘Terremoto – Earthquake’ yesterday evening at about
11-00 pm down here in sunny Manilva! It measured 3;1 on the ‘Richter Scale’ and
the epicenter was just of the coast – see map. No damage and the earth did not
shake in our house as we were sat on the settee in the lounge! Lots of reports
from down on the coast and on the outskirts on the village of tables and lights
rattling and house’s shaking!! We will survive !
This
morning as forecast it is colder( 15degs) and a little windy, grey and overcast
but no sign of rain at the moment in sunny Manilva; the front has come in from
the Mediterranean and is affecting only us down here on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ –
the rest of Spain is sunny and dry!
Both the
dogs are here in the house, Derrick is no bother and Chispa is her usual self,
following Brenda around and full of the joys of ‘Autumn’ with the wind in tail;
Brenda is pottering about catching up with the washing and ironing and as you
can see I’ am up in the office on the WWW. Our maintenance man Joachim has just
called in to fix the hot water in the kitchen sink, the usual problem with
Manilva water ‘Cal ’ in the pipes!
Last night
we watched an American TV crime drama series called “ Person of Interest’ from
2011 about a former CIA officer, Jim
Caviezel recruited by a mysterious billionaire,Michael Emerson to prevent
violent crime in New York with the help of ‘The Machine’ a
mass surveillance computer system – watch it to find out what its all about!
Tonight for
supper we are having ‘English cut Pork Chops’ baked in the oven with glazed
Apple slices and my ‘Breton’ style potatoes – diced boiled potatoes tossed in
hot butter with diced assorted Peppers,Onions,Celery & Leeks – Brenda is
just getting ready the Cabbage with Acelgas( Swiss Chard) and Chopped Carrots
& Baby Turnips.
It will
then be time to fins something to watch on the TV, we do find other programmes
to follow besides films, only yesterday we had a very interesting animal
documentary on Black & White Rhinoceros !!
Thought for
the Day; See above.
