MONDAY 15th/ APRIL 2019.
I was up early this morning, after a very
quick freshen up, in between the electricity going off and then the water, I
shot off across to the ‘Estepona Hospital’ for more extensive treatment on my
left hand at the main ‘ Physiotherapy Department’ with Encarni, the ‘Head
Physio’ - I’m back on Tuesday & Wednesday and then have an appointment with
the ‘ Consultant Physiotherapist’ next Monday lunchtime back at the Hospital
for a review/check up, watch this space.
After yesterday when it reached by
mid-afternoon 27 degs, we had the
hottest day so far this year, this morning the sun was out as I set off along
the coast road past a sparking & calm Mediterranean, the sky was clear
& blue and there was a light breeze keeping it a little ‘ fresh ‘ in the
shade, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 25 degs+ down to 13/14 degs overnight,
Tuesday is the same, but then on Wednesday as the new ‘Atlantic’ front blows
in, it’s going a cooler, down to 19 degs, then on all the forecasts its’ showing
the ‘ wet-stuff’ returning from Thursday onwards, sadly continuing all over the
main ‘ Semana Santa’ ‘ Easter Weekend’- hovering in the high ‘ teens’ - next week is also now starting the same, just
as we are due to meet up with David & Jane in Malaga on the Tuesday
morning, at their Hotel, the ‘ Atanazanas Boutique Hotel’ Watch this space.
Over the weekend we had a different cloud
formation over the village, see below!
When I returned I popped along to the local
Bank in ‘Calle Mar’ to pay the electricity bill, the village is very quiet, the
children are off school for the week, none of the local Bars are open, ‘Bar Rojas’
is closed, both ‘Cafeteria Nacho & Bar Castillo’ are on holiday, ‘Bar Ocaña
‘ has not re-opened yet, ’Cafe Plaza’ is closed on a Monday and ‘ Bar Luque ’
only opens when he wants too! The ‘ Council’ were washing down the street with
the water wagon.
See below ‘ Calle Mar’ this morning.
A quick update on the sports results;
Manchester City won 1-3 & Liverpool won 2-0 – as Mo Salah hit a ‘
wonder-goal’ to take Liverpool back to the top of the ‘ Premiere League’ - which we watched on the live ‘IPTV’ sports
channel, at the same time as following the “ Paris-Roubaix’ cycling race, the
famous ‘ Hell of the North’ over 257 kms, taking 6 hours, with nearly 20 little
stages over the cobble stones ( Pave - Setts ) – the Belgium rider Philippe
Gilbert won!
Later we caught the final round of the ‘
Masters’ Golf from Augusta as Tiger Woods made the greatest comeback in
sporting history as he won, by one shot, his 15th ‘ Major’ and his
fifth ‘ Masters’ title – his last back in 2008, after all his problems over the
past few years!
This evening for our supper we are having ‘
Escalope’s of Pork Fillet’ – Schnitzels’ style, coated in breadcrumbs from the local Bakery, then
shallow-fried in Vegetable Oil, until crisp & golden, and finished ‘
Holstein’ style, topped with a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg, Anchovy Fillets &
Capers, accompanied with lots of Lemon Wedges and served on a bed of ‘
Spaghetti Milanese’ ( diced Smoked Ham & Tomato salsa) – with some finally
sliced ‘French’ Green Beans,
On Tuesday it’s going to be ‘ Escalope’s of
Chicken Breast’ – then on Wednesday we are having ‘Cottage Pie’ – topped with
Brenda’s famous ‘Mashed Potato’ – Thursday is TBC, then on ‘ Good Friday’ we
will have a ‘ Fish Supper’ – Saturday is ‘ Steak Night’ and then on Sunday, for
the first time this year I’m making my famous ‘ Smoked Chicken & Three
Green Bean Risotto’!
Last night after supper we settled down to
watch episode 3 ( of 6) of the very gripping & exciting ‘ Line of Duty’ – with
more shootings, a senior ‘ corrupt’ policeman killed, the Head of ‘ AC 12’
acting strange, the undercover cop ( UCO) - losing his mind, more corrupt
police uncovered and at the end the ex-wife of the ‘Head of AC12’ about to be
attacked/kidnapped! Watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
