SATURDAY 16th/ MARCH 2019.
Just a little lie in this morning, I had a
quick freshen up and then shot down to the ‘English Butchers’ in ‘ Puerto de la
Duquesa’ – I picked up some Gammon Steaks and Homemade Pork Sausages for
another day, he then boned a small ‘Leg of Lamb’ and diced it, for Sunday’s ‘Irish
Stew’ – I also bought two ‘Lamb Chops’ to
go in the strew also! At the same time I found all the ‘English’ essentials,
Goose Fat, Malt Vinegar, Baby Beetroots, Dumpling Mix, Heinz Soups etc, as well
as his excellent Homemade Sausage Rolls! The only problem was that my card was
still not working!!
I will call into our Bank on Monday morning
to sort out a new ‘ Pin’ number after coming back from the ‘Physiotherapy Department’
at the Estepona Hospital, after my first of four appointments next week, I’m
also calling into the main ‘Medical Centre’ to make an appointment for my
monthly ‘V12’ injection and also for Brenda, for a review/check up with our
Doctor, Natalia. Next Wednesday we have an appointment with the two family lawyers,
down at their office in Sabinillas at lunchtime, to renegotiate the contract on
the house and report/list all the repairs etc that need seeing too ‘ ASAP’! On Friday
I will be back on my travels for the weekly shopping. Watch this space.
As I was putting the car away this morning,
in the underground car park, I bumped
into Brenda, out with ‘ Chico & Scoobie’ for their first walk of the day,
they are both very good and don’t pull, they walk at our ‘ Pensioner’ pace! Last
night ‘ Chico’ slept on Reina’s duvet as ‘Scoobie’ got on his rug first! On our
early evening walk yesterday little ‘ Chispa’ joined us, so we put her on a
lead and we all set off around the village!
Back at the house as Brenda was on the breakfast rota we had her famous ' Campo' Poached Eggs on Toast, with mugs of strong/hot Tea.
See below;
We have another glorious day down here on
the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ this morning, the sun was out early, as I was again, the
sky had cleared and was already blue, there is a very slight breeze so by
lunchtime it will reach 21 degs+ - more of the same tomorrow but going warmer
on ‘Carnival Sunday’- up to 24 degs+! Next week is sadly changing as the new
cold, wet & windy ‘ Atlantic’ front hits us from Tuesday onwards, dropping
down to 15/17 degs, with the ‘ wet-stuff’ most days, patchy clouds and the ‘RAIN’
heavy at times, overnight dropping back down to 9 degs, watch this space.
On the sports front this weekend it’s all
happening; over in Australia it’s the first ‘Grand Prix’ of the season, Lewis
Hamilton has just taken the Pole position, his sixth consecutive pole at Albert
Park!
Over in the ‘Premiere League’ Everton are home to Chelsea and Liverpool
travel down to play Fulham, in the Sixth Round of the ‘FA Cup’ Swansea welcome
Manchester City, over here in ‘La Liga’ Real Madrid are at home to Celta Vigo
and Barcelona travel down here to play Real Betis in Savilla.
Today the ‘National Hunt Racing’ comes from
Uttoxeter where it’s the “ Midlands Grand National “- the ‘ Gypsies’ National! –
as well as Kempton Park.
Meanwhile it’s a grandstand finish as Wales
eye the ‘ Grand Slam’ on ‘ Super Saturday’ – as Italy welcome France, then
Wales welcome Ireland and finally England are at home to play Scotland in the ‘
Calcutta Cup ‘ game! Wales, Ireland and England could all win the ‘ Guinness
Six Nations’ depending on the results! Watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having a
large ‘Rib of Beef’ – on the bone, grilled on a very hot griddle-plate ‘
Med-Rare’ – then left to rest, before carving it ‘ French’ style into fingers,
garnished with pan-seared Asparagus Spears & Button Mushrooms, accompanied
with the classic ‘ Bearnaise’ sauce, with whole ‘ French’ Green Beans and of
course twice-cooked ‘ Frits’On
Sunday I’m making my recipe of the traditional “ Irish Stew “ – watch this
space.
Last night after supper we caught a new
episode of ‘ Vera’ – this evening we will channel hop to find a good film to
watch.
