WEDNESDAY 17th/ APRIL 2019.
I was up early, as usual, and after a quick
freshen up I shot off across to the ‘Estepona Hospital ‘ for my final
appointment at the ‘ Physiotherapy Department’ – unless I’m sent back for more treatment
on my left-hand, after I see the ‘ Consultant Physiotherapist’ next Monday
lunchtime, back at the Hospital. After finding a spot to park I had my usual
tostado & tea in Tikitape’ before going across to the Hospital.
This morning was a little different to
yesterday, as I set off along the coast road, past a very dark & cloudy
Mediterranean, which was a little rough & grey! – down to 19 degs, by
lunchtime, with the threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’ in the air, later today and
tomorrow we are in for moderate to heavy ‘RAIN’ – staying with us over the ‘ Easter
Weekend’ – with just a small chance of the sun back with us on Sunday, hopefully
in time for the two main ‘Tronos’ processions along ‘Calle Mar’ – next week is
looking ‘ mixed’ with the ‘ wet-stuff’ still possible, hovering in the low 20s,
next Tuesday, when we are over in Malaga, watch this space.
See below a ‘ NASA’ satellite picture
showing the ‘ Iberian Peninsula’ yesterday !
I brought the local Spanish couple back to
the village, again, this morning and stopped at the local Bank in ‘Calle Mar’ for
some cash from the machine, that was out of action yesterday. After putting the
car away in the underground car park I came back up to the house to get this
evenings supper on the go, tomorrow morning I’m back out on my travels, down to
Sabinillas, for the weekly shopping, Brenda is coming with me as she has her
appointment at her hairdressers, for a cut/style etc, we are not sure that the local Bus is running
tomorrow, as the ‘ Bank Holidays’ are celebrated on different days here, she
will catch a taxi back up to the village later.
Before typing/posting today’s Blog I made
the ‘Cottage Pie’s ‘ – Mince – I bring to boil the seasoned ‘Pork Mince’ in a
rich Meat & Vegetable stock, before skimming, at the same time a prepared
the ‘Mirepoix’ – of vegetables, by sweating off the small diced ‘Onions,
Shallots, Carrots, Leeks, Celery & Mushrooms, with a little garlic, a large
spoon of Tomato Frito together with a large dash of ‘ Lea & Perrins’
Worcestershire sauce & Tabasco, along with a glug of Brenda’s White Wine
and seasoning, the ‘Mince’ is then added to ‘Mirepoix’ – the colour and consistency
adjusted, before going into the buttered casserole dish to cool down before the
‘ Second/Vegetable Chef’ tops it with her famous ‘ Mashed Potato’ – ready to go
in hot over this evening, served with Glazed Carrot Batons & Garden Peas.
Last night we watched the second legs of
the ‘Quarter-Finals’ of the “ UEFA Champions League “ as Juventus ( Ronaldo!)
lost to Ajax 1-2, 2-3 agg, and Barcelona ( a Messi master-class!) beat Manchester Utd, 3-0, 4-0 agg, this
evening it’s FC Porto v Liverpool ( agg 0-2) and Manchester City v Tottenham
Hotspur ( 0-1 agg)
We then caught the second-part episode of ‘The
Widow’ with more flashbacks, as she tries, in the jungles of the Congo, to find
her missing/killed husband, with no help from the locals, but a mysterious blind
Icelandic man , who survived the plane crash, is being chased up by a friendly
Intelligence officer, watch this space.
