THURSDAY 5th/ MAY 2016.
I was up early to see ‘ Reina’ back with us
for the day, she’s now staying with us until later this evening as Lee &
Daniela are going to a staff party at work, we then all went back to bed and had
a nice long lie in until the delivery vans woke us up later! After breakfast we
did the shopping list for tomorrow morning, Brenda is shampooing her hair and
later I’m shaving and showering, we managed some more washing yesterday so I
brought it in last night before going to bed as the forecast for today and the
next few days is not good.
The ‘ Atlantic’ storm did not arrive during
the night but is now due to hit us by lunchtime, we are on ‘ Orange’ alert for
heavy rain and high winds, its also going a lot cooler, it looks like we are in
for the wet weather up to Sunday, at least, watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having
the rest of the ‘ Chicken Curry’ with Basmati Rice & ‘Chips’ – tomorrow night
its my famous ‘ Seafood Risotto’ made with Cod, Hake, Salmon, Mussels, Prawns
& Gambas; on Saturday we are going to have ‘ Steak & Frits’ and then on
Sunday its ‘ Lamb’ TBC.
Last night after supper I tuned into ‘ First
Row Sports’ to watch the ‘UEFA Champions League’ second leg semi-final between
Real Madrid & Manchester City, I managed to find the ‘BT’ coverage in
English with Gary Lineker, what a waste of time as Manchester City played
terrible and went out with a whimper, it was boring as their ‘star’ players
played like ‘ Sunday League’ second division no hopers! They lost 1-0 but it
was the way that they totally gave up the game that was just terrible to
watch!! This means that the two ‘Madrid’ teams are in the final at the end of
May at the ‘San Siro’ Stadium in Milan , home of both AC Milan & Inter
Milan, one interesting fact is that Real Madrid have never won at the Stadium!!
This evening we are going to watch the ‘Europa
League’ second leg semi-final as Liverpool welcome Villarreal to Anfield, they
lead 1-0 on aggregate, Villarreal play in an all Yellow strip and are known as
the ‘Yellow Submarine’ over here!
Yesterday afternoon we watched the ‘Flat
Horse Racing’ from Chester, the coverage was as usual very good on ‘Channel 4’ –
it was also a very sunny day, for a change, its usually raining or snowing at
this time of the year, its on today and tomorrow so we will catch it later.
After watching the football we caught the
end of ‘ Master Chef’ on BBC 1 – the final is on Friday, then we found the late
film to watch on TVE1 ‘ Non-Stop’ from 2014, its an mystery-action thriller
about a ‘Boeing 767’ passenger flight from New York to London with the ‘ Sky
Marshall’ played by Liam Neeson, with Julianne Moore, Michelle Dockery (
Downton Abbey!) Lupita Nyong’o & Scott McNally; very exciting as the plot
unfolds.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
