A OVERCAST, & DAMP SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 24^th / OCTOBER 2016.

I was up early this morning to welcome back little princess ‘ Reina’ for the day, she’s here every day up to and including Friday, we then took ‘ Pax ‘ out for his first walk of the day before the rain started, we just managed to miss it! We had our normal breakfast and then sorted ourselves out for the week ahead; early this evening we have our appointments down at the surgery with the ‘ Chiropodist’ – hopefully the rain will have stopped by then, as forecast, as we are walking down with ‘Pax’ Watch this space. ' Chispa' came calling at lunchtime to play with her friends.

Its grey & overcast with black clouds over the mountains, heavy rain is on the horizon, tomorrow it’s looking a little cooler and dry, the rest of the week is staying dry, at the moment, we will find out later what the weekend has in store for us!

See the picture below of old Liverpool back in 1955! – you can see in the top right the old ‘ St, John’s Market buildings ( 3 long roofs !) – then next to them on the left is the large building, ‘ The Royal Court Theatre’ in front of ‘ Queens Square ‘ – with the roof of ‘ The Stork Hotel’ in the bottom corner! Click on the picture to enlarge!

In front of ‘St. Georges Hall ‘ is the ‘ Empire Theatre’ and then ‘ Lime Street Station’ – in the distance on the top left is the ‘ Adelphi Hotel’ and ‘Lewis’s Department Store’ in front of it! At the bottom of the picture on the right is the entrance to the old ‘Mersey Tunnel’ – on the bottom left is ‘William Brown Street’ with the ‘Library, Museum & Art Gallery’!

Many happy memories of Liverpool over the early years, I was only 5 when I first taken into the ‘ Adelphi Hotel’ to see my uncle who was the Head Florist and then into ‘Queens Square’ with my mum, also a florist, to buy the flowers from the market in ‘Queens Square’!!

This evening for our supper we are having the rest of the ‘ Lancashire Hotpot’ from last night; I’ve topped it up with some more Lamb, Vegetables & Potatoes ready to go back in the oven this evening. On Tuesday day I calling into our butchers for ‘ Escalope’s of Chicken Breast’ for ‘ Schnitzels’ and diced Beef for a curry on Wednesday.

Just a quick update on the sports results; Lewis Hamilton won the ‘ American Grand Prix’ – he has three more races to try and keep the ‘World Championship!  Manchester City could only manage a 1-1 draw but the ‘ Match of the Day ‘ was Chelsea beating Manchester Utd 4-0 and going top of the ‘ Premiere League’ playing sublime football as all the Utd. player’s were terrible! Mr Mourinho was not a happy man!! Over here Real Madrid had a lucky win 2-1-

After supper we watched the next episode of ‘ Poldark’ – he was not transported to Australia,  as three ‘alibi’ witness’s appeared in court, ‘Tin’ was found in the mine but an accident killed some miners, the Doctor has a broken heart and is going away to sea, a marriage proposal was accepted, for cash not love, there was a surprise ‘ Seduction’?! and at the end a ‘ Knock-Out Punch ‘ from ‘ Demelza’! As it said at the end ‘ To be Continued ‘!!
