THURSDAY 18th/ APRIL 2019. “
MAUNDY THURSDAY “
We were both up very early this morning and
after freshening up we shot out on our travels down to Sabinillas for the
weekly shopping and Brenda going to her hairdresser, Annie, for a cut/style, we
had a quick toast & tea in ‘ ItZabar’ before popping along to a very busy (
holiday makers) ‘Mercadona’ - we shot back up the house to drop off all the
shopping and we then popped back down to the hairdressers shop, just as the heavy
rain was starting, I put the car away in the underground car park and then
collected her later, when she called, to pick her up!
Overnight the ‘RAIN’ hit us and it looks
like we are in for more of the ‘ wet-stuff’ later today, the sky is black with
storm clouds, there is a light ‘ Levante’ breeze blowing up from the rough
& grey Mediterranean, we are in for a wet & cold ‘ Easter Weekend’
sadly, with patchy clouds, moderate to heavy rain and hovering in the high ‘
teens’ – low 20s – down to 11/13 degs overnight, next week is not looking much
better, when we will be staying over in Malaga with Jane & David, on
Tuesday/Wednesday, by next weekend
hopefully the sun is due to return, watch this space.
This evening the procession of the tableau
of ‘ Jesus Nazareno ‘ – my ‘ Brotherhood’ is due to take place through the
village and along ‘ Calle Mar’ – at
11-00 pm, after Mass at the ‘Iglesia Santa Ana’ Church, they are watching the
weather with ‘ Fingers-Crossed’! Fridays main village procession is looking
very unlikely and Sundays two processions are also under threat, watch this
space.
See below the start of last year s
procession when the ‘ Brotherhood’s Penitants’ raise the tableau above their heads!
Last night we were glued to the TV as we
watched the most exciting, riveting, breathtaking, dramatic, extraordinary game
of ‘European Football’ ever, as Manchester City lost to Tottenham Hotspur, they
won 4-3 on the night, but lost 4-4 on aggregate on the away goal rule, after Manchester
City scored in the final minutes, only for it to be ruled by the ‘VAR’ system
offside! From ecstasy to agony in seconds, as City’s chance of winning four ‘
Cups’ disappeard in a flash!! Tottenham Hotspur face the young exciting team of
Ajax in the semi-final two legs, meanwhile this Saturday in the ‘Premiere
League’ – Manchester City are home to guess who, Tottenham Hotspur! - watch
this space.
At the same time we were watching Liverpool
blitz AC Porto 1-4, on aggregate 1-6, to breeze through to a mouth-watering ‘
UEFA Champions ‘ League semi final first leg against Barcelona, with the second
leg back at Anfield!!
This evening for our supper we are having
the rest of the ‘ Cottage Pie’ – we are saving the ‘ Chicken Wings’ for another
night, for our ‘ Fish Supper’ on ‘Good Friday’ it’s going to be ‘Pan-Seared
Fillets of the Tail-End of Salmon’- then on Saturday the classic ‘ Steak Diane’
–using ‘ French’ trimmed ‘Entrecote Steaks’ – finally on ‘ Easter Sunday’ for a
change it’s going to be my now famous ‘ Smoked Chicken & Three Green Bean
Risotto’
See below, Jane’s ‘ Baps’ – this morning’s ‘
Hot Cross Buns’ appearing at her ‘Williamson’s
Bakery’ over in Northwich, Cheshire!
After supper we will settle down to watch
the TV and then later if the procession takes place I will shoot out to the top
of our street to take some pictures, watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
