MONDAY 18th/ MARCH 2019.
I was up early this morning and after a quick
freshen up I shot off across to the ‘Estepona Hospital’ for my first, of four, appointments,
this week, at the ‘ Physiotherapy Department ‘ I had a little problem parking,
but then was still able to have a tostado & tea in ‘ Tikitapi’ before going
across to the Hospital, my Physio, Irene, a trainee, had finished her training
last Friday, so she has been moved to a large Hospital in Malaga, the Head
Physiotherapist, Encarni, then looked after me, a hot wax bath on my left hand,
then a deep massage and stretching exercises with various stressed pegs!
On the way back at called into the main ‘
Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas to arrange an appointment for Brenda, with our
Doctor, Natalia, for a review/check up (next Tuesday afternoon) – at the same
time I was fitted in with the ‘Surgery
Nurse’ at lunchtime today, for my monthly ‘V12’ injection, I then stopped at
our ‘Bank’ and the Assistant Manager, who looks after our accounts, had my
Debit Card re-set by the Head Office in Madrid, with the same ‘Pin’ – “ RESULTS
ALL ROUND “ !
Tomorrow evening we have our regular
appointments with the ‘Council Chiropodist ’ Carmen, down at the local surgery, then on Friday
morning I will be back down in Sabinillas on my travels for the weekly
shopping. This week we have no dogs with us in Doggy World Heaven’ – next Monday
‘ scruffy’ is back with us for the day, In the lunchtime post my new Spanish ‘
Driving Licence’ arrived as promised. Watch this space.
As I set off this morning the sun was already
above the Mediterranean, the sky was clearing and by the time I came back along
the coast road in was blue, there was a stiff ‘ Lavente’ breeze blowing off the
sea by lunchtime it’s due to reach 17 degs+ - 10 degs down on yesterday! The
wet-stuff’ at the moment has now gone away, but it’s still going to be colder,
hovering in the mid ‘teens’ with patchy clouds, for most of the week, then the
new ‘ Atlantic’ front is taking hold over the coming weekend, with very strong winds, keeping it
cooler and with lots of ‘ RAIN’ – next week
is not looking very good, watch this space.
Just a quick update on the football results
from yesterday; Liverpool won 1-2 and Everton won at home 2-0 beating Chelsea,
Barcelona won 1-4 at Real Betis, with Messi scoring another classic hat-trick!
The Menu’s for the week have been agreed;
this evening we are having the rest of the ‘ Irish Stew ‘ – which was very
tasty, the Lamb was succulent and the classic recipe was spot on! On Tuesday we
are having ‘ Grilled Gammon Steaks’ with all the trimmings, then on Wednesday it’s another old traditional dish, a ‘ Mixed
Grill’ with at the moment English Lamb Chops & Pork Sausages and Smoked
Back Bacon, Button Mushrooms, Chorizo, Plum Tomatoes, ‘ Campo’ Fried Eggs and ‘Heinz
Baked Beans ‘ – with sautéed Potatoes and anything else that I can find! On Thursday
its ‘ Find something in the fridge day’ – Friday will be a ‘Fish n ‘Chip Supper
‘ and Saturday ‘ Steak Night’ as usual, Sunday is still TBC, watch this space.
Yesterday evening we lost the ‘ IPTV’
system just before the pen-ultimate episode of “ Baptiste ‘ – so sadly we missed
another very exciting and gripping story line, with two more killings( a
husband & wife) and right at the end the ‘Bulgarian Assassin’ – splattered on
the pavement, after ‘ falling ‘ from a great height! – as well as a possible ‘
Bent Copper’ being uncovered, watch this space.
PS, Hopefully the system is being worked on
at the moment!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
