FRIDAY 12th/ APRIL 2019.
I was up early again this morning, for the
last time this week, after a quick freshen up I shot off down to Sabinillas, on
my travels, for the weekly shopping, I had my usual toast & tea in ‘
ItZabar’ before ‘ Mercadona ‘ opened, I then went along to the far end of the
promenade to the local market for our fresh flowers & wall plants, on the
way back I called into ‘ Super Sol’ for our English’ essentials, before coming
back up the hill through the ever growing vine fields.
Next week ‘ Mercadona’ is closed on Friday
( local Bank Holiday ) so I will be out on Thursday morning on my travels, as I’m
only at the ‘Estepona Hospital’ for the first three days of next week, as it’s
also (local Bank Holidays) in Estepona for the ‘ Semana Santa ‘ celebrations
week, on Thursday & Friday. Brenda has an appointment at her Hairdresser,
Annie, down in Sabinillas, on Thursday for a cut & style.
See below some pictures of the ‘Puerto de
la Duquesa Marina’ this morning.
After unloading back at the house we set
off back down to Sabinillas as Brenda had her appointment with our Doctor,
Natalia, at the main ‘ Medical Centre’ - for her six month re-view/check up, after
her blood tests etc last week, all’s well, with just a little update on the prescription
tablets, I at the same time made an appointment for my monthly ‘V12’ injection ,next
Tuesday afternoon, with the ‘Practise Nurse’
On the way back up the hill we stopped at
the new ‘ Venta La Vista’ for a nice cool drink, sat in the shade on the
terrace, overlooking the vine fields, the mountains and valley down to the
Mediterranean.
As I set off the sun was all ready up above
a very calm Mediterranean, the sky was blue & cloudless and there was just
a very slight breeze, another beautiful day down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’-
by lunchtime it’s due to reach 22 degs+ - over the weekend raising to 24/25
degs+! - meaning that it’s going to be very hot & sunny on ‘Palm Sunday’ – for
the start of the ‘ Semana Santa’ week of religious celebrations &
processions, next week is starting the same, then by mid-week as the breeze
gets up it’s going a little cooler, hovering in the low 20s,with still the
threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’ in the air, by next weekend, on ‘Easter Sunday’ it
will be back up to 23 degs+ - just in time for the final two parades!! Watch
this space.
See the weather forecast below;
The following week we are starting to get
rather excited as we are meeting David & Jane, over in Malaga, on the
Tuesday morning, at their Hotel , the “ Atanazanas Boutique Hotel’ – opposite the
world famous market of the same name! They are flying in on the Monday for a
short three-day break, on the Monday lunchtime I have an appointment with the ‘
Consultant Physiotherapist’ at the ‘ Estepona Hospital’ for a re-view/check up
on my left hand, watch this space.
We have a nice surprise guest back with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ tomorrow morning, little ‘ Winnie’
the black pug is joining us for the day! ‘ Chispa’ will no doubt be calling in
to see her & us, as she does all the time.
For our supper this evening we are having
our version of posh ‘ Fish n’ Chips’ – with Mushy Peas, ‘ Goujon s of Hake
Fillet’ – dipped in a ‘ Cruzcampo Beer Batter’ – shallow fried in Vegetable
Oil, until crisp & golden, served with lots of Lemon Wedges and Homemade ‘Tartar’
sauce, not forgetting the twice-cooked ‘ Chips’!
Saturday it’s ‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks’ with
all the trimmings and then on Sunday we are having ‘ Medallions of Pork Fillet’
with a creamy ‘ Green Peppercorn ‘ salsa. Watch this space.
Yesterday evening after supper we settled
down to watch the final 4th episode of ‘ The Victim ‘ on BBC TV, I will not
give the ending away, only to say that it was very gripping & compelling,
with excellent actors in the main roles.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
