TUESDAY 7th/
APRIL 2015.
I was up
bright and early this morning to welcome ‘Reina’ here for the day; as usual she
shot upstairs and got under her duvet for another hour; we then had a leisurely
breakfast and sorted ourselves out for the day ahead. I shot down to our local
Greengrocers for some Red & Green Peppers and Plum Tomatoes, the Peppers
are for this evenings potato dish and the tomatoes are for my Salsa, I also
called into our local bank in Calle Mar for some cash from the machine.
The weather
today is overcast and windy as there is a strong wind coming down from the
Mediterranean and then heading out to the Atlantic through the Straits of
Gibraltar, its blown the rain away for today but sadly tomorrow its going to be
raining while we are out at the hospital over in Marbella for my appointment
with my Prostrate Consultant. It’s then getting back to normal, the sun is back
and it will be a lot warmer by the weekend.
A little
later we went for a walk with ‘Reina & Chispa’ down to the local ‘IT’ shop
opposite the ‘Plaza de la Vendimia’ to top up our Mobile phones, we are still
getting our 50% bonus when we top them up! I took a picture of the new info map
on the final wall of the ‘Roman Pottery Urn’
On the way
back I also took a couple of pictures of Calle Mar as they are painting the
whole street, we bumped into the Mayor, Diego, and he confirmed that our street
Calla San Vicente is getting the same treatment, earlier when I was out one of
my ‘Sources’ had also confirmed it!
Don’t forget that the local elections are coming up at the end of
May!! The Council workmen have just
started to re-paint the road marking, lines and crossings, See the pictures
below.
Last night
Brenda called into the Opticians and they had fixed her glasse’s, they had sent
them away in the morning to be repaired, the good news was that there was no
charge! No that’s service.
For our
supper this evening we are having ‘Baked Pork Chops’ cut ‘English’ style
(thick) by our Butcher, Brenda is getting ready some Cabbage with local
Alselgas & more crushed Baby Carrots, Turnips & Parsnips as well as
boiling the cubed Potatoes, as I’m making my famous ‘Breton’Potaoes which I
toss the cubed potatoes in foaming butter with diced Onions and the Red &
Green Peppers. A little Tomato salsa on the side, I will be making another
batch of my famous Tomato Salsa on another day.
Last night
after supper we caught up with all the news, sport and weather details before
finding a film to watch, it starred Nicole Kidman is a rather strange movie for
her with lots of sex and gore, not one to recommend, so I won’t!
Thoughts
for the Day; See above.
