SUNDAY 20th/ DECEMBER 2015.
No lie in this morning as we had to take ‘Barny’
out for his first walk of the day, he’s spends all the time on his bed and is
very quiet, he’s as good as gold and very easy to look after, he has his one
meal of the day when we come back from his walk, ‘Chispa’ came calling a little
later and is still here playing around my feet up in the office; ‘Reina’ is
being dropped off this afternoon for a sleep over and now ‘Charlie’ is arriving
a day early, this evening – so we have a ‘full’ house!
After breakfast we got this evenings supper
ready “ Roast Leg of New Zealand Lamb “ with my finger-licking Pan Gravy and a
dish of my famous ‘Boulangere’ Potatoes which will go in the oven this evening;
I also roasted a few local Potatoes in the roasting tray at the same time. Brenda
has also got a little selection of vegetables on the go, ‘Cauliflower Florets
Mornay’ ‘Crushed Carrots & Turnips’ ‘Cabbage with Alcelgas’ and some ‘Garden
Peas’. See the picture below of the ‘Leg of Lamb’ resting after coming out of
the oven
.
We then shaved ( Me!) showered, washed our
hair and freshened ourselves up ready to take on the World! We have another
fine day here in sunny Manilva, the sky is blue and its very mild with no
breeze, the forecast for the Christmas Week and to the end of December is for
more of the same with the temperatures hovering on the 21/ 23 degs mark! The
mildest & dryest December on record!!
Yesterday afternoon I watched the excellent
coverage of the Horse Racing from Ascot & Haydock Park on Channel 4, sadly
Everton lost at home 2-3 to Leicester, just now Barcelona have beaten River
Plate 0-3 over in Japan in the ‘FIFA Club World Cup’ – their fifth trophy of
2015!
Last night before and after our supper we
watched the Final of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ on BBC 1 – ‘Jay McGuiness’?! won
with the public vote but ‘Kellie Bright’ was robbed as she was by far the best
dancer on the night ( the 4 judges vote!) Just now as I’m typing the Blog an ‘Xmas
Parranda Band’ has come along Calle Mar, at the top of our street, and stopped
outside ‘Nacho’s Bar’ - as you can see
in the pictures above. No doubt they will end up later down at ‘Bodegon Andaluz’
in our street!
At the moment we are having some problems
with our Mobile Phones, Brenda’s has gone off completely and yesterday I ,by
mistake, deleted all my contacts, help is on the way! Also our land line is not
working, it looks like its a payment problem with the new Bank account, I will
chase it up tomorrow morning!! Watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
