SATURDAY 27TH/
SEPTEMBER 2014.
This
morning we were rudely awoken by the sound of the gas-bottle delivery man
blowing his horn! We turned over and had a slight lie in! It’s not looking like
a very nice day as its overcast at the moment and some rain is forecast for
later as the latest front/depression crosses over us. (It’s still warm!)
We had a
very nice night out last night starting down at the ‘Castillo de la Duquesa’
and the Council presentation; the first ‘Act’ on the stage was ‘Daneila’singing
for her opening number “My Guy” by Mary Wells, so that was a good start, I was
up singing and dancing right away! It was then the time for the Mayor Antonia
and Diego, the councilor to give their welcome speeches translated by
Valentina.
It was an
open bar of wine and soft drinks along with much better ‘Paella’ than last
time! Then the next ‘Act’ on was a husband & wife duo who’s opening number
was “ Under the Boardwalk” by Ben E King and the Drifters, I was up once again
this time leading the singing and dancing and I’m told by Brenda making a show
of myself!! See the picture below taken by the Mayor and see the picture above.
We then
headed over to Duquesa Marina which was still rather busy and after struggling
to fide somewhere to park we arrived at the ‘ Kinnaree Thai’ restaurant; we
managed to get the best table in the house in the corner with windows
overlooking the marina, our G&Ts and B & Cs duly arrived and we then
ordered; to start we had Springrolls, Chicken Wan Tan and the steamed Pork
Dim-Sum ( the stars!)
To follow
Brenda had King Prawns with Chilli,Lemongrass and Basil Leaves and a side bowl
of Thai Rice Noodles with Vegetables; My choice was the ‘ Massamen Gung’ – King
Prawns in the hottest *** Curry sauce and a bowl of the house special ‘Three
Delight’ fried rice with Ham, Chicken and Pork!! Brenda had a half-bottle of
‘Torres Vina Sol’ See the picture above.
Sat next to
us was a very nice couple that we soon got talking too, Fred & Jan were on
holiday staying at a villa just along the coast, they live in Jersey for nine
months of the year and then three months over in Cape Town – very nice talking
to them.
This
morning I’m watching ‘Saturday Kitchen Live’ on the smaller PC as I’m typing
the Blog; later I’m making a large bowl of my famous ‘Ensaladilia Rusa’ with
Brenda’s help before getting tonight’s supper prepared “ Entrecote Steak” with
Sautéed Mushrooms, finely sliced Green Beans and of course twice-cooked Frits
along with the usual toppings!
On the
sports front today here up in Ponffreda it’s the Mens and Ladies Roach Races at
the ‘World Championships’ over the weekend, meanwhile over in Teruel its the
‘Aragon Motor GP’ while in ‘La Liga’ today Villarreal welcome Real Madrid and
Barcelona welcome Granada. Over in England Hull Manchester City Liverpool
welcome Everton!! Oh and yes up at Gleneagles it’s the ‘Ryder Cup’ with Europe leading 5-3 over the USA
Liverpool 1 - Everton 1 after the 'Blues' scored in the 91st minute! City won 2-4 and Real Madrid won 0-2 and Barcelona won 6-0 with for a change a hat-trick from Neymar!
Liverpool 1 - Everton 1 after the 'Blues' scored in the 91st minute! City won 2-4 and Real Madrid won 0-2 and Barcelona won 6-0 with for a change a hat-trick from Neymar!
So this
evening after supper we will watch the news, sport and weather details before
finding something to watch.
