FRIDAY 20th/ NOVEMBER 2015.
I was up at the crack of dawn and shot
across to Estepona to our old bank to transfer our two accounts and then close
them, only one problem, it needed Brenda also as they are joint accounts and
she had to sign all the documents! This meant that I had to come back to
Manilva and collect her , no problem as its the most gorgeous day down here on
the ‘Costa Del Sol’ and the drive over and back ( twice!) was spectacular, to
say the least, the Mediterranean was calm, the sun was out and the sky was
blue, there is no breeze and its getting warmer by the hour, 25 degs!! Over the
weekend it now looks like we will just miss the rain but its going colder up to
Monday.
As we came out of the bank in Estepona we
called into the new “ Honore Bouulangerie “ for a coffee ( excellent ) &
tea, Brenda has the most succulent ‘Croque Monsieur’ and I had tostado, everything
is served on slate boards and the tea comes in a pot on to top of a large
matching cup! We also bought some of their fresh pastries that are made on site
in the bakery that is all glass and on show!
On the way back we stopped in Sabinillas
and called into our new bank to activate the Debit cards, the transfers have
not appeared yet so we will keep our fingers crossed for later; last night
Daneila helped me log on to our new online banking service as its all in
Spanish and I’m up to about 95% with the documents! At the same time she
downloaded the latest ‘You Tube’ & Spotify’ to my apps so as I’m ready for
my radio show, if I get asked back, this will help when the studio is set up on
my new system up in the office! Then Lee checked out all my settings and
updated my security scans etc! Thanks to both of them for their kind attention.
We are going back down to Sabinillas
tomorrow morning for our weekly shopping, we did pick up the local newspapers
from the ‘English Bookshop’ while we were out, Brenda took ‘Barney’ out for his
first walk of the day before I picked her up, and at lunchtime we are going
along to ‘Bar Castillo’ for an al fresco Tapas lunch with him; he’s being
collected this evening and is then back with us for two weeks over Xmas. ‘Chispa’
arrived just as we came back up to the house and is playing around my feet as I’m
typing the Blog.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Goujons of Hake Fillet’ made with fresh local breadcrumbs, with Mushy Peas, diced
‘Frits’ and of course my homemade Tartar sauce; See below; we will the settle down to
watch some English TV as normal on a Friday, also Brenda is now able to watch
the Tennis in the afternoon from the ’02 Areana’ as both Nadel and Federer
progress to the semi finals.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
