SUNDAY 28th / AUGUST 2016.
We all had a nice lie in this morning, ‘Reina’
slept on the top of her duvet and we were on the top of our sheet, as it’s
still very warm & sticky during the night, she is being collected later and
then is back on Tuesday morning for four days next week as it’s the ‘Bank
Holiday’ in Gibraltar, where Lee & Daniela work.
The sun was out early again this morning and we are in for another hot day ahead, then next week we are in for more of the same. See below the village this morning.
Brenda had her shower as she got up and I
will have mine later after typing & posting the Blog, for our breakfast we
all had Scrambled ‘ Campo’ Eggs on toast, Brenda is getting the three types of
Green Beans ready for this evenings ‘ Smoked Chicken Risotto’
Here in Spain it’s just a normal weekend,
next weekend, of course, it’s the ‘ Vendimia Festival ‘ from Friday to Sunday
and a local Bank Holiday on the Monday! I have my appointment, first thing on
Monday, for an X-Ray over in Estepona at the local hospital ( like an old
fashioned ‘ Cottage Hospital!) then on Wednesday morning I’m going down to the
surgery for my ‘ ECG’ before all the blood tests etc the following week! Brenda
has another blood test due in the system and we then both have to make appointments
back with our Doctor for all the results before she goes on holiday at the end
of September! We are also starting to
use our new ‘ Blood Pressure Testing Kit’ on Monday’ - it records in the memory
both our results and you then take it along to the surgery when you see the
Doctor. Watch this space.
Just a quick update/round up on the sport
from yesterday; Real Madrid had a lucky win 2-1, Liverpool gave away a goal in
the last few minutes and drew 1-1, Everton had a good win 1-0, at the ‘ Belgium
Grand Prix’ Lewis Hamilton starts last on the grid after a penalty for an
engine change and Chris Froome did not have a good day at the office and fell
back 27 secs on the last climb on Stage 8 behind Nario Quintana! See the route
map below for today’s stage.
Last night after supper we settled down to
watch the special feature length 30th anniversary episode of “ Casual+y
“! Since we have not seen it in many years we couldn’t follow all the story
line, at the start there was a car/chase crash and the main Consultant and her
daughter were badly injured when their car went over a cliff, the other lady
driver did not stop, she then had a fit of remorse, stopped her car further along
the road and got out to ring for help and was mowed down by a passing car! This
was all before the titles started!!
Eventually they were all found, the two
lady victims ended up in the Casualty department, the daughter had to be taken
to the hospital in the ‘Air Ambulance ‘ which then crashed onto the ‘Casualty’
entrance because a young boy was playing with his birthday present ‘ a Drone’ –
he lost control and flew it into the helicopter engine!! It was all very
surprising and exciting, a spectacular filmed crash with lots of death &
mayhem, two of the young Doctors trapped under falling scaffolding, the
department closed, the daughter in the Air Ambulance with even more severe head
injuries, I nearly forgot, a Irish lady arrived with pains which turned out to
be a dead baby in her womb from fifty year ago?!
During all this ‘Charlie’ the main character
played by the excellent Derek Thomson, carries on as normal with his knowledge,
wit etc, as they battle to overcome all the problems, Connie, the Consultant,
rips out her tubes to get to her badly injured daughter and then collapse’s again,
are you following?! One ‘ Helluva ‘ episode !!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
