THURSDAY 2nd/
JANUARY 2014.
We were all
up bright and early this morning as I had my appointment at the surgery with
the nurse for my tests so Brenda came along with Charlie for his first walk of
the day; when we go back and after our tea and toast we first rang Tim to wish
him a ‘Happy Birthday’ and at the same time a ‘Happy New Year!’ Then we called
our old bank over in Colwyn Bay
It was then
time to go down to the underground car park and take the car around to our
local garage to have it checked out, fingers crossed! On the way back we
stopped outside the Council Chamber and wished the Mayor and all our local
councilor’s ‘Feliz Ano Nuevo’ as they were just going into the monthly council
meeting.
We have
also ordered from our local supermarket in Calle Mar a “ Roscon de Reyes ” –
‘Kings Cake’ for the ‘Three Kings’ celebration next Monday; it’s an oval
twisted Cinnamon cake filled with cream and contains a bean/candy and a small
figurine of the Baby Jesus which bring you good luck. It’s decorated with
candied fruits; the main ‘Three Kings’ parade is on Sunday evening – I will try
and find some pictures from the local web-sites as the new camera will have to
wait until we get the car fixed, the Hypermarket is over in Algeciras so we
need it to go shopping either there or into Gibraltar ! Sorry no local picture
for now!!
This
evening we are having pan-seared Calves Liver in foaming Lemon Butter which I picked up this morning
from our butchers, with crispy Smoked Bacon,glazed Pineapple slices( Try-it!) and the rest of last nights
‘Boulangere’ potatoes – I thanked him for the marinated Lamb that we really
enjoyed last night!
We will
after supper catch up with all the news and the weather forecasts before
finding a film to watch.
Thought for
the Day; See above.
