SATURDAY 30th/ MARCH 2019.
We had a nice long, undisturbed, lie in
this morning, after a week of early starts, the village, as usual, was very
quiet, we then freshened up, Brenda is washing/shampooing her hair later, as
she was on the weekly breakfast rota, I then had her famous ‘ Campo Poached
Eggs on Toast’ – Boiled for her with toast fingers, with mugs of strong/hot
tea.
Next week I have my now usual four early
morning appointments at the ‘ Estepona Hospital’ at the ‘ Physiotherapy
Department’ for more extensive treatment on my left hand, on Tuesday morning I
will be dropping off Brenda, first thing, at the main ‘ Medical Centre’ in
Sabinillas as she has her appointment for her Blood Tests etc, on Friday I will
be back out on my travels, down to Sabinillas, for the weekly shopping.
In ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ on Tuesday evening
‘ Scruffy’ is being dropped off for a sleep-over as Adrian has an important
appointment on Wednesday morning at the main Hospital over in Malaga, for his
first ‘Prostate Radiotherapy’ Sadly our
4 day’s away ‘ House & Doggy ‘ sitting in a grand villa in Mijas Pueblo, in
the mountains, the following week, has been cancelled as Clive has to go into
hospital for a operation & then treatment, Carolyn, his wife let us know
yesterday.
We had a nice, long, news update from
Sandra & Bill on ‘Facebook Messenger’ yesterday, it’s the start of the six month
countdown to their visit, they are very busy, as usual, this Monday they are
going on a ‘ Getaway Break’ to ‘ Niagara on the Lake’ and are celebrating their
‘Anniversary’ with dinner at their favourite restaurant ‘ Zees Grill’ We have
arranged a ‘ Skype’ video call for the following Sunday, see below a picture of
Bill Cider tasting at Thornbury, on a freezing day and then another picture of
him with their first ‘ Fire Pit’ of 2019, back at the house in Everett, ‘
Spring is in the Air ‘ “ Happy Anniversary “
This morning has started rather overcast
and grey with dark clouds on the horizon, the sun is attempting to break
through, the wind has dropped to a stiff breeze, so by lunchtime it’s due to
only reach 17 degs+ with the threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ about to hit us,
tomorrow and all of next week is looking the same, hovering in the high ‘ teens’
with rain, moderate to heavy at times, lots of clouds and the breeze keeping it
cool, on one forecast it’s showing sunny days, watch this space.
See below a picture of the “ Costa Del
Mersey “ taken this morning from Egremont
on the Wirral Peninsula.
On the sports front this weekend; over in
the ‘ Premier League’ Manchester City are down at Fulham, Everton are down at
West Ham and in the opposite direction Liverpool welcome Tottenham Hotspur, over
in ‘La Liga ’it’s the local ‘ Derby Game’ as Barcelona welcome Espanyol, Real
Madrid are also at home to play lowly Huesca. The ‘ Grand Prix’ is tomorrow
evening in Bahrain, today’s horse racing is from Kempton Park & Doncaster, over
the ‘ Flat’!
See below a picture of the commencement of
the work on ‘ Calle Iglesia- Church Street’ – which is due to take six months!
For our supper this evening we are having
the old classic ‘ Tournedos Rossini ‘ – named after the 19th century
composer ‘ Gioachino Rossini’ – created by the French Master Chef ‘ Antione
Careme’ – ‘Fillet Steaks’ pan-fried in butter, served on a crouton and topped
with warm ‘Foie Gras’ - finished with a Madeira Glaze, in my version the steaks
are wrapped in Smoked Bacon, baked in the oven, topped with Iberico Pate!
Accompanied with whole ‘ French ‘ Green Beans and of course twice-cooked ‘Frits’
Last night we caught the final of ‘ Master
Chef ‘ – as the correct lady cook won! This evening we will after supper
channel hop to find something to watch, not forgetting to put all the clocks
forward an hour, before we go to bed!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
