This
morning ‘Reina’ was dropped off as normal and we all went back to bed for a
little lie in, then after breakfast is was shave (Me!) & shower time before
we sorted ourselves out for the weekend ahead; today we are having a quiet day
at home catching up with the chores, then tomorrow morning it’s the shopping,
in the rain that is forecast.
Brenda is
calling into her hairdressers to arrange an appointment for an estimate to sort
out/attack/cut/trim/color etc - her mane of long hair (Six months!) ready for
our 43rd ‘Wedding Anniversary’ at the end of the month when we are
going out on the Saturday evening for dinner to one of our old favorite
restaurants across in Guadalmina - “Restaurante Victor”
Today its
still overcast and grey but dry at the moment and then over the weekend its
getting better after the wet stuff on Friday; we are planning on Sunday
morning/lunchtime to go down to ‘Duquesa Marina’ as there is a ‘Classic Car’
meeting on the front of the port, afterwards we will have a light ‘Tapas’ lunch
in one of the Bars as we are not roasting this Sunday again!
On the
menu/diet front tonight we are having the rest of the Beef Curry( economics!)
this evening then on Friday its plain grilled ‘Hake Fillets’ with New Potatoes
and Garden Peas – all no butter! On Saturday its plain grilled ‘Entrecote
Steak’ with Baked Potato and a Mixed Salad – no butter again!! Then on Sunday
evening I'm going to make my special ‘Smoked Chicken & Broad Bean Risotto’
Later this
morning I shot around to the ‘Opticians’ in Calle Mar to check out new lenses
for my glasses, they fitted me in straight away for the Eye tests and then gave
me the estimate, unbelievably expensive even with the pensioners discount, I
said I don’t want to buy a car, just new lenses!! Notice the date today – 13th!!
We are going to have to shop around for some more quotes – in the New Year!
I then
called into the Town Hall at the top of our street to make sure/enroll on the
voting list for the elections next year, we are registered but we will call
into the office down in Sabinillas tomorrow to update any details.
When I got
back to the house Andy had arrived to pick up ‘Charlie’ We picked Andy up from
the airport over in Malaga last night, the Departure Terminal was very quiet
and ‘eerie’ - the only sign of people was when a plane arrived and they all did
the same trick as we had planned and came up to the Departure Terminal to meet
their family and friends to be picked up!! 'Charlie' is coming back over the New Year for two weeks this time. See the picture below of 'Charlie' taken by Brenda on her Mobile phone - her first attempt!
So this
evening after supper we will catch up with all the news, sport and weather
details before finding something to watch on our newly tuned TV – Miguel the
engineer called in on Tuesday evening and sorted it out, we now have all the
main channels in ‘HD’ with some new channels (Gibraltar TV!) as well as the
main ‘Paramount’ film channel and some new small stations to investigate!
PS; We have
just received in the post another special postcard from Josie & Den sent
direct from her Mobile phone, see the picture below of the envelop and the
postcard which shows the little market town of
‘Ashbourne’ in Derbyshire where they have family – thanks – yours is in
the good old fashioned post!
Thoughts
for the Day; See above.
