No lie in this morning as the workmen were
back on site and commenced by knocking non-stop for next few hours; late last
night Lee & Daniela dropped little princess ‘Reina’ off for her New Years
holiday instead of early this morning, they are flying from Malaga via Madrid
to New York. Have a ‘Helluva’ time! ( postcard ?!)
So for the next couple of days we have
three dogs here in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ until ‘Barney’ goes home on Wednesday, they
all get on very well, each has their separate ways, food etc. At breakfast time
its like feeding time at the Zoo as they line up at the kitchen door, I take ‘Charlie’
out first, then ‘Barny’ and finally Brenda goes for a short walk with ‘Reina’
Overnight ‘Barny’ sleeps on his bed in the lounge, ‘Charlie’ wanders from the
settees in the lounge and ends up on our bed in the morning and ‘Reina’ sleeps
all night in either of her two Duvets, one in the office and one in the
bedroom! Of course ‘Chispa’ will no
doubt be calling in to play with all her friends, we are going to post pictures
of ‘Reina’ everyday, at the request of Lee, on her own Facebook page ‘Reina –
The Duquesa Doxie’ – see picture below - or here!
Last night we had a Facebook message and
later a phone call from our dear friend Jane over in Northwich to let is know
that she and David are coming over for three days at the end of January, they
fly into Malaga and are staying at the ‘ Estepona H10’ – our favourite local
hotel, we are looking forward to welcoming them back as they have not been over
for a couple of years, no doubt we will be out and about on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’!
After speaking to Tim& Thea on ‘Boxing
Day’ Tim has posted a large set of pictures of their year on their travels in
the new motor home as well as the family, please find below one of us when we
welcomed then to sunny Manilva for my 70th birthday with ‘Reina’ and
some of Jo & Ben.
Over in England today in the ‘Premiere
League’ Everton welcome Stoke, the tomorrow Manchester City travel to Leicester
and then on Wednesday Liverpool travel across to Sunderland, yesterday
afternoon the racing from Kempton Park on Channel 4 was very exciting as ‘
Sprinter Sacre’ won a thrilling ‘ Desert Orchid Chase’ - Speaking of which
please see below a picture of the “ El Parque Botanico Orguidario “ over in
Estepona at night!
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Cold
Roast Norfolk Turkey’ ( a la Bernard Mathews ) with some Baby New Potatoes in their
skins & Baby Carrots & Garden Peas, then on Tuesday I’m making a
classic ‘Turkey Fricassee’ with the leftovers!
Last night after our supper we settled down
and watched a film on TVE1 “ Cowboys & Aliens” from 2011 – a science
fiction western starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and the delectable Oliva
Wilde.
PS, I’m listening to ‘Castle Radio FM’ on
the WWW. at the moment as I’m typing the Blog, its playing non-stop back to
back music! They are now back on 89.2 with reduced power?!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
