SUNDAY 5th/ MAY 2019. “ MOTHERS DAY – DIA DE MADRE “
We all had another long lie in this morning
as the village is very quiet, the church bells don’t start until later, calling
the ‘faithful’ to Mass, it’s also ‘ Communium
‘ time, so there are lots of ceremonies/parties taking place at the same time, as
it’s ‘ Mother’s day’ here in Spain, it will be busy with all the famlies getting
together later.
‘Chico’ spent most of the night on the Marble
floor under the bed, as it’s getting a little warmer, Brenda took him out for
his first walk of the day, around the bottom of the village, he’s such a good
little ‘ Boy’ – great company, he gets on with the other dogs, ‘Chispa’ is in
and out all the time, he’s due to be collected on Tuesday morning.
As I was on the breakfast rota we had ‘
Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ – smothered in ‘ HP ‘ Brown sauce – open on
brown for Brenda & Chico! Not forgetting mugs of strong/hot ‘PG ‘ Tea, to
set us up for the day ahead.
Next week I’m back at the ‘ Estepona
Hospital’ for more treatment on my left hand, at the ‘Physiotherapy’
Department, on Monday, Wednesday & Thursday morning, Tuesday is a ‘ Training
Day’ – then on Friday morning I will be back out on my travels, down to
Sabinillas for the weekly shopping.
Yesterday we sent a message to Sandra &
Bill, on the ‘Facebook Messenger’ - over
in Everett, Ontario, Canada, as it was Bill’s birthday ( the card made it!) They
had just had a lovely lie in, Bill was getting their trailer out of storage
later, as the weather forecast was good, after more snow last Monday, in two
weeks time they are going on a ‘ Glamping ‘weekend to Hope Bay, they were going
out for dinner, this evening, at a friend’s house, who have a home theatre with
a 107 inch HD screen! Today they are going for a drive and a spot of Lunch, “
Happy Birthday ‘ Bill - it means so much
to us, also, to have you both in our lives!!
This morning we have another glorious day
down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – the sun was out first thing, the sky
cleared, as there is a stiff breeze blowing, of the Mediterranean, by lunchtime
it’s due to reach 25 degs+ - a little
cooler in the shade, overnight down to 14/15 degs, tomorrow will be a little
warmer, then the rest of next week is hovering on the 26/27 degs, mark, with
sunshine and just a few patchy clouds at times, going a little cooler next
weekend as the breeze increases, the following week is looking even better,
watch this space.
Just a very quick update on the footballs scores;
most importantly Liverpool won 2-3, going into the final ‘ Premiere League’ game
next weekend, over here Barcelona lost 2-0, with a changed team as they prepare
to face Liverpool, at Anfield, on Tuesday evening, in the second-leg of the
semi-finals of the ‘ UEFA Champions League’ – with a 3-0 lead!
At lunchtime we went along to ' Bar Castillo ' for a nice cool drink, sat outside in the warm sunshine, it was very busy with locals, we had a small selection of 'Tapas' including his Paella & 'Tiger Prawns' on skewers!
This evening for our supper it’s a ‘
Favourites Night’ – as requested Brenda is having ‘ A Confit of Duck Leg’ – with
‘ Al dente’ Stir-Fried assorted Vegetables and I’m having an ‘ Angus Rib-Eye Steak
‘ topped with a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg! – both served with ‘ Pommes Allumettes’ !!
While I have been typing/posting today’s ‘Blog’
and Brenda has been doing the ironing, we have been listening to ‘ Castle Radio
FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW ’ – then the ‘Pete Black Retro Roadshow’ - as
the ‘ Movie Quiz’ came on, ‘Lady’ Brenda got it straight away, it was ‘ Robert
De Niro’ in “ Taxi Driver” from 1976! Hopefully she will be in the draw for
this month’s ‘ Mug’ Watch this space.
This evening after supper we will be
settling down to watch the final extended episode of the very gripping &
exciting “ Line of Duty “ as series 5 reaches it’s climax, will all the questions be answered?! Watch this space to find out, if you want
too?!
" Who is H " ?!
