MONDAY 27th/ MAY 2019.
We managed another nice lie in this morning
after a late night as we watched the local election results come in (See below)
After freshening up we had fresh fruit, toast & tea for breakfast, before
getting another week on the go.
The sun was out early this morning, the sky
was already bright blue & cloudless as we got up, there is no breeze, so it’s
going to be a very hot one later, by lunchtime up to 27 degs with not a breath
of air, over in Estepona, it was very ‘ Hot’! Tomorrow is going to be hotter,
then from Wednesday onwards it’s going a little cooler as the light breeze
returns, hovering in the mid 20s, staying the same over the weekend, next week
is looking very hot & sunny all week, by Wednesday reaching 31 degs+ watch
this space.
I shot off across to the ‘Estepona Hospital’
for my appointment with the ‘ Physiotherapist Consultant’ for a review/check up
on my left hand, she was impressed with my improvement and has referred me back
to ‘ Encarni’ for another months treatment, starting a week on Tuesday, as next
Monday morning I’m at the ‘ Costa Del Sol Hospital’ for my nine month
review/check up with the ‘Prostate Consultant’
The ‘Polling Stations’ here in Spain close
at 8-00pm, the final result of the count came around 2-00 am! Up to final 95%
result the ‘ Compromiso Party ‘of the Mayor, Mario, our neighbour was leading,
but at the very end lost, by 15 votes, to the ‘ IU’ Party, as it’s ‘Proportional
Representation’ the ‘IU’ got six seats, ‘Compromiso’ 5 seats, the ‘PSOE’ – 5 seats
and 2 others, all this means that, sadly, we will have a new Mayor, Antonio
Barragan, who will have to form a ‘Coalition Party’ to govern, by the 15th
June, as it requires a 9 seats majority to run the Council!
The ‘IU’ Party is communist, as is the ‘Compromiso’ Party, they split apart four years ago, when Mario and his colleagues, fell out with the other members, watch this space!

Over in North Wales this weekend the famous
‘Laburnum Arch’ came into full bloom at ‘ Bodnant Gardens’ near ‘Tal-y-Cafn’ in
the Conway valley, it’s the longest in the UK, see below.
When I returned we had our weekly ‘ Menu’
meeting; this evening we are having ‘ Pan-seared Escalope’s of Chicken Breast’
in a Lemon & Balsamic Vinegar Butter Salsa, on Tuesday evening it’s going
to be ‘Homemade Burgers’ from the local Butchers, Wednesday is ‘Grilled Gammon
Steaks’ – Thursday it’s ‘Omelettes of Choice – Friday is ‘ Fish Night and
Saturday ‘ Steak Night’ – Sunday is still TBC.
While I was out the ‘Second Chef’ had
prepared all the ingredients for my famous “ Ensalada Rusa- Russian Salad “ –
which I then made, to my recipe/version; diced boiled Potatoes, Garden Peas,
Baby Chopped Carrots, diced Pimentos, crushed ‘Campo’ Boiled Eggs & diced
Tuna, all mixed in a large bowl with ‘Mayonnaise’ - seasoned and chopped Parsley
added!
This week in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ we are busy, as ‘ Sunny’ is joining us for
the first time on Tuesday evening, for a short four day stay, on Thursday &
Friday morning little princess ‘Reina’ is back with us each day, then on
Saturday as ‘Sunny’ leaves, ‘Lolo’ is arriving for her nearly three week
holiday, over the weekend we have had two more enquires and sadly we couldn’t
fit in little ‘Winnie’- the Black Pug, as we are fully booked during August!
Watch this space.
Tomorrow afternoon I’m going down to the
main ‘ Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas for hopefully, my appointment with the ‘Practise
Nurse’ for my monthly ‘ V12’ injection, as she was a ‘no show’ the other week!
On Friday morning I will be back down in Sabinillas on my travels for the
weekly shopping, watch this space.
Last night after supper we settled down to
watch the next episode of “ Gentleman Jack” with ‘Suranne Jones’ in the title
role, it’s a historical drama, with a twist!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
