TUESDAY 6th/ NOVEMBER 2018.
We had a nice long lie in this morning
before getting up and after a quick freshen up we had our regular light
breakfast of toast & tea, as usual, the village is very quiet at this time
of the day, we have the shutters down, blocking the light out as well as the
sounds in the street below us!
The sun is breaking through, at the moment,
the clouds are clearing and by lunchtime it’s due to reach 18 degs+ - sunny but
still ‘ crisp’ – you need a jumper on, overnight it’s dropping to 11 degs+ -
about normal for the time of the year, the Oil Heaters are still not needed,
for now, tomorrow will be the same and then on Thursday we are in for some of
the ‘ wet-stuff’ – over the weekend it’s getting a little warmer, hovering in
the low 20s, next week is looking similar, with patchy clouds, sunshine and
more of the ‘wet-stuff’ – getting heavy towards the weekend, as well as a
little cooler, watch this space.
See below pictures of the ‘ Firework
Display’ in EirIas Park, Colwyn Bay, North Wales, last night, the last time we
managed to go to the same display was with Tim & Thea and the kids many
years ago ( at least 20) ‘Happy Memories
‘
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Chicken Schnitzels’ – using Fillets of Chicken and local breadcrumbs from the
Bakery, shallow-fried, until crisp & golden brown, in Vegetable Oil, then
finished-off ‘ Holstein’ style, topped with a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg, Capers & Anchovie
Fillets, with lots of Lemon Wedges, accompanied with finely sliced ‘French’ Green Beans and for a change, not
Spaghetti Milanese, but twice-cooked ‘Frits’! – “ Posh Chicken & Chips “ !!
On Wednesday, for our supper I’m making a
special ‘ Braised Steak, Onion, Mushroom & Assorted Peppers Casserole’ –
using ‘ Irish Sliced Beef Fillet’ from ‘ Mercadona’ – served with a version of
the classic recipe of ‘ Carrots A la Flamande’ – Baby Carrots tossed with
Garden Peas and Smoked Bacon Sippets’ – and ‘Brenda’s famous ‘ Mashed Potato’
Thursday is going to be a find something in
the fridge day, Friday is ‘ Fish Night and Saturday ‘ Steak Night’ – then on
Sunday it will be time for my famous version of the classic “ Lancashire Hotpot
“ Watch this space.
We have settled back into our routine of
watching various Quiz Shows, yesterday afternoon ‘ Fifteen to One’ started
again, hosted by Sandi Toksvig, who also is excellent on ‘ QI’ as the
replacement for Stephen Fry. We then
after supper channel-hopped to find something to watch.
Watch out it could be mine!
