WEDNESDAY 1
st/ OCTOBER 2014.
It was our
last chance for a lie in this morning, this week, so we took advantage and
stayed in bed for a bit longer than normal! After breakfast we first made our
monthly phone call via our ‘Personal Services Manager’ to arrange a transfer
from our bank in Colwyn Bay, it’s a good day to do it as the ‘Euro’ is at its
highest for over two years this morning! Let’s hope it stays that way as on the
next two Mondays the regular pension transfers happen!!
I then shot
around to the surgery for my appointment with our Doctor to update my prescriptions;
she has also arranged for a blood test next week to check out all my vitals,
Colestrol.Diabetic Levels, Blood Pressure etc. Its still warm today, 28degs but
as forecast a little overcast and cloudy for now.
When I got
back to the house I then made the ‘Lancashire Hot Pot’ for tonight; my
recipe/version is a little different as in the layers of finely sliced Potatoes
& Onions I add sliced Baby Carrots,Leeks,Celery & Turnips – at the same
time I also brown-off the Lamb so as to add taste to the dish. I also use a
Chicken/Meat/Vegetable stock and season every level! It goes in the oven this evening;
we are having Cabbage with Alselgas and lots of Pickled Beetroot! See the pictures below,
We are
taking things easy this afternoon and will catch up with our reading before our
regular ‘Happy Hour’ cocktails. After supper we will find something to watch,
last night I followed the football in the ‘Champions League’ Brenda was left in
‘charge’ downstairs to follow the PSG v Barcelona game, Barcelona lost 3-2 and
upstairs in the office I followed the Manchester City v Roma game 1-1 but City
did not play well. Then the late film was “ Mission Impossible 111” from 2006
with of course Tom Cruise and the ‘Baddy’ this time played by the late and
great Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Thoughts
for the Day; See above.
