THURSDAY 30th/ JULY 2015.
And now its Thursday!
We had a little lie in this morning as the workmen did not make as much noise as yesterday, they are laying the brick walls at the moment - watch this space. 'Reina' was dropped off just before breakfast for her last day this week,she's back for Mon/Thurs next week.
I shot down to the " Iglesia Santa Ana Church" to meet Padre Jose Antonio who very kindly offered to show me the new bells in the church tower; we climbed the ever increasing steep new steel stairs, stopping on the way to see the roof cavity above the main body of the church.
The two new Bells are spectacular,the larger one is named 'Maria' and the smaller one is 'Santa Ana' They were cast in the oldest 'Master Founders' in the South Western Region of 'Extremadura' The sound/tone of each bell is perfect,I was able to give each one a try!
Very many thanks to Padre Jose Antonio for giving me the privilege & opportunity to see them up-close - see the pictures below;
As I came back to the house 'Scruffy' was just arriving for a few hours and next 'Chispa' was knocking on the door to come in - the Three 'Musceteers' are back in 'Doggy World Heaven' and are playing around my feet as I'm typing the Blog!!!
We have received an invite to the " Inauguration" of the new Museum,Exhibition & Cultural Centre 'Casa Los Torres' this coming Sunday evening, which is just around the corner at the bottom of our street!
As you can see we have another beautiful sunny day with a clear Blue sky and a rather nice cooling breeze which was very welcome after climbing up the church tower! Over the weekend its getting hotter again with yet another 'Heat Wave' coming across from Africa - the third this month in already the hottest time of the year!!
At lunchtime we went up to Bar Rojas for a cool drink and Mano & Anna came along and joined us for a good old gossip and chat,later Adrian & Rose came past so they picked 'Scruffy' up as he was with us,we we will see him again on Saturday for his sleep over,it also sound like he could be with us for Xmes which is great news as 'Charlie' is already booked in for two weeks for his Xmes Holidays!!
This afternoon we will have our 'Happy Hour' up on the roof terrace, workmen permitting, as they could have reached the walls around it by then!Watch this space.
Last night at the " Hondarribia Blues festival" it was the Canadian singer,songwriter & actress " Shakura S'Aida" belting out the Blues with a very 'Hot' four piece Band with a award winning classic pianist & Hammond Organ player! I love the Hammond Organ sound!!
For our supper this evening we are having the 'Calves Liver' dusted in seasoned flour and seared 'Pink' on the griddle plate with Crispy Smoked Back Bacon,well cooked Pork Sausages,sauteed Red Onion rings,Garden Peas and 'Hash Browns'
We will then settle down to watch the news, sport & weather details before finding something to watch.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
