FRIDAY 30th/
MAY 2014.
Well Brenda
has had another good nights sleep with very little or no coughing, now to get
everything else back to normal and working! We were up early this morning and
after breakfast we shot down to the local market for some fresh flowers after
picking Brenda up from the top of our street; we then went down to Sabinillas
to the bank first then onto the English Bookshop for the papers and to post a
birthday card and pick another one up – watch out it could be you!
After the
main supermarket shopping we tried to find another shop to look at door
shutters but with no luck for now; we finally called into the local Garden
Centre and picked up two hanging wall pots to match the two we found the other
day as well as plants to go in them! Watch this space for the display!!
After
un-packing I shot around to the butchers for our Saturday Night ‘Steak’ – this
week I’ am treating us to my special “Steak Diane” with twice-cooked Chips,
tonight we are having ‘Fillets of Hake a la Meuniere’ with Saffron New
Potatoes, Garden Peas and some lovely fresh local Green Asparagus (Not White)
On Sunday no roast this week, we are having Pan-Fried ‘Escalope of Turkey
Breast’ with savory Basmati Rice.
Last night
we had one sight technical problem – the TV went off, no signal on all the
channels, the local TV Engineer is calling in later this afternoon, hopefully
nothing to serious, yesterday evening the painters were up on the back roof
painting the outside wall by and around the TV Mast/aerial – it was on when
they left but went later?! Watch this space.Miguel arrived and soon spotted the problem, the 'Amplifer Box' upstairs had blown,he went down to Sabinillas for the new one,came back and fitted it - RESULT! He only charged the local's discounted rate!
At the same time the painters arrived and are now in our bedroom,washing,priming and then painting it! Then they moved on to give the bathroom ceiling the same treatment,they are back on Monday to finish off and hang our new wall pots!
Every lunchtime we are still going for our walk with 'Chispa' but only short and what Brenda feels comfortable with; today we wet down to the old 'Morenas Bar' next to 'Bodega Augustin' and had a cool drink as Angela who use to cook for Lumy is now there with some new people,It's now called 'Las Vinas'
As we were sat outside who should come along but Anna who we now don't see or hear from( It's a long story for another day!),she was out buying cigarettes for Mano who is the middle of some very serious dental work with Victor;so we had a little catch up then Barbara came along on her way back from the sports day down at the school,we havn't seen her for a little while also so we were able to check up on her health as she is pregnant!

On the
sports front this weekend you will be happy to know that there is no major
football until two weeks time when the ‘World Cup’ kicks off in Brazil Mugello ,Italy
