SATURDAY 24th/ NOVEMBER 2018.
We had a nice lie in this morning, all
of us, as little princess ‘ Reina’ spent all night tucked up in her duvet, we
put a rug under it and an extra blanket in with her, she was as snug as a bug
in a rug! She’s being picked up later, tomorrow evening ‘ Scruffy’ is back with
us for a sleep-over and will be collected later on Monday, next Sunday little ‘
Scoobie’ is being dropped off for his week’s holiday, while he’s with us in ‘
Doggy World Heaven’ little prince ‘Paddy’ is joining us for a short five day
break!
On Monday evening we have our regular
appointments, down at the local Surgery, with the Council Chiropodist, Carmen, then
first thing on Tuesday morning Brenda has her ‘ Blood etc’ tests down at the main
‘Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas, later at lunchtime, we are going across to the ‘Costa
Del Sol Hospital’ past Marbella, as my appointment at the ‘ Rehabilitation Department’ for my left-hand
problem, finally came though, yesterday afternoon, with a phone call! Watch this space.
After freshening up this morning, as
usual, on a Saturday, we had Brenda’s famous ‘Campo Poached Eggs on Toast ‘ with
mugs of steaming tea, to set us up for the day ahead. ( see below) I then shot up to the office/studio to go on
the ‘ WWW’ and then type/post today’s Blog, meanwhile Brenda is pottering about
on one of her ‘ ing’ days!
Overnight it stayed dry and very cold,
by our standards, this morning the sky has cleared and it’s ‘ crisp’ and sunny,
as forecast, reaching 16/17 degs by lunchtime, tomorrow and at the start of
next week we could be in for more of the ‘wet-stuff’- as the breeze brings in
another ‘ Atlantic’ front, then the rest of the week ahead is looking dry,
settled and sunny, getting warmer by next weekend, hovering on the 20 degs+
mark, very good for the time of the year, watch this space.
See below the road out of Everett,
Ontario, Canada, yesterday morning!
This evening for our supper we are
having a large ‘ Grilled Rib of Beef – on the Bone’ – cooked on a very hot
griddle-plate ‘ Med-Rare ‘ – then left to rest, before taking it off the bone
and carving it into ‘Finger’ slices ‘ French ‘ style, garnished with seared
Asparagus Spears & Button Mushrooms, served with whole ‘ French’ Green
Beans and twice-cooked ‘ Frits’ – with the classic ‘ Bearnaise’ sauce and Dijon
French Mustard on the side!
On the sports front this weekend; the
Football returns, over in the UK in the ‘ Premier League’ as Everton welcome
Cardiff City, Liverpool travel down the ‘ M6/M1 to play Watford and at the same
time Manchester City will be on the same roads also, going down to play West
Ham, over here in ‘ La Liga’ meanwhile, Real Madrid travel to Eibar and Barcelona
are in Madrid to play Atletico Madrid.
The last ‘ Grand Prix’ of the season is

National Hunt Racing’ from Haydock Park & Ascot, then at the ‘ Autumn
Internationals’ in Rugby Union, it finishes with Scotland v Argentina, England
