MONDAY 2nd/
JUNE 2014.
Today it’s
fine and sunny as this morning starts after yesterdays changing fortunes, after
the second rain storm it then went back to normal and by the late
afternoon/early evening it was hot again! After our breakfast we sorted ‘Scruffy’
out ready to be picked up later, he’s back a week today for the day as his mum
Rose in hospital for a routine checks, this week Adrian & Rose are both on
holiday.
So far our
plans for the week are starting to take shape, on Wednesday Brenda is down at
the hairdressers in Sabinillas for a cut & blow as on Thursday we are going
across to ‘Alhaurin el Grande’ for lunch with Joyce; the usual shopping on
Friday and then a relaxing weekend, our next chauffeur run is when Josie then
Den come over for their longer stay for the summer later this month!
BREAKING
NEWS;
King Juan
Carlos of Spain who is 76 has decided to abdicate, it’s just been announced by
the Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy – the King’s son Crown Prince Felipe,45 will
take over the throne. He’s ruled since 1975 after taking over after the death
of the dictator Francisco Franco. There is no history in Spain of abdications
so he is setting a precedent, the Prince is the youngest of his three children
but as he is the only male he succeeds, they have now changed the ‘Right of Succession’
to the first born so the Prince’s elder daughter will be the Queen in many
years time; he has two beautiful blonde daughters and is married to a divorced
TV Newsreader! See the picture above.
Now back to
more important things, tonight’s supper! We are having pan-seared ‘Calves
Liver’ dusted in seasoned flour with English Pork Sausages, Smoked Bacon,
Griddled Tomato, Onion Rings and Mushroom; from the vegetable department we are
having Garden Peas & Broad Beans and a little of my famous Tomato Salsa on the
side!See the picture above. On Tuesday we are having ‘Baked Pork Chops’- cut English style with some local fresh Cabbage with Acelgas & Baby Carrots - Wednesday’s feast is yet to be arranged!!
Brenda has
just weighed in as its Monday, she has lost nearly 2kilos in two weeks, my
results later.
At the
moment the ‘Euro’ is holding up so one of our Pensions being transferred this
morning is looking a little healthier! A ‘Good News Week’!!
Over the
weekend on the sports front yesterday Marc Marquez saw off the challenge of
Jorge Lorenzo to claim a sixth successive win at the ‘Motor GP’ at Mugello in
Italy; also in Italy the Colombian rider Nairo Quintana won the Giro
D’Ialia - meanwhile on the ‘Isle of Man’
the start of the famous “ TT” races have been delayed by rain!
The painters arrived this evening and have finished the job, the new wall pots are up and we will get some more plants in the morning - watch out for the pictures to follow! I've just been told by a mole in the council that they are going to copy Estepona and have ordered 500 wall pots in different colour's for the village TBC - Watch this space ?!
