SATURDAY 30th/ JANUARY 2016.
We had a well deserved lie in this morning
until the gas bottle delivery man came rattling down our street, the sun was
out early and the sky is blue, there is no breeze and we are in for another
glorious weekend here in sunny Manilva. Yesterday evening we had a surprise as
an un-forecast storm hit us, the first we knew was when there was a tremendous
flash of lightening followed by an very loud overhead clap of thunder that
shook the house, it then was then the time for a cloud burst with severe heavy
rain and large hailstones! This lasted for over two hours!! We had power cuts
and lots more of the shattering thunder & lightening!! This is the one that gave us the fright of our lives!!
For breakfast we had Brenda’s famous ‘Campo’
Poached Eggs on Toast with mugs of steaming tea, I then settled down to watch
on BBC 1 ‘Saturday Kitchen Live’ before coming up to the office to type and
post the Blog after first catching up with the WWW, E-Mails, Facebook Messages,
read the newspapers and catch up with the news from around the world.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Grilled
Entrecote Steak’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘Med-Rare’ with sautéed Baby
Mushrooms, deep fried Garlic Buds on Brenda’s and mine topped with a ‘Campo’
Fried Egg! Finely sliced Green Beans, Jane brought Brenda a new Bean cutter to
replace the old one she gave us many years ago! Of course we are having some
twice-cooked ‘Frits’ on the side.
This afternoon I will be watching the Horse
Racing on Channel 4 from Cheltenham & Doncaster and then following the ‘FA
Cup’ Football over in England as Aston Villa welcome Manchester City and later Liverpool
are at home to West Ham, tomorrow Everton travel up the M6 to Carlisle; over
here in ‘La Liga’ Barcelona are at home to Atl.Madrid and Real Madrid welcome
Mano’s team Espanyol.
Last night we channel hopped over on
English TV before watching the late film on TVE 1 – “ Along Came the Spider “
from 2001 with Morgan Freeman playing Detective Alex Cross in a psychological
thriller written by our favourite ‘ easy reading’ author James Patterson, with Monica
Potter, Michael Wincott & Mika Bourem in the supporting roles; Morgan Freeman
is very good as the legendary detective but does not match the description of Alex
Cross that you have in your mind,ie, larger, younger and taller?!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
