FRIDAY 24th/ MAY 2019.
I was up early this morning, for the last
time this week, after a quick freshen up I shot off on my travels down to
Sabinillas, through the green vine fields, with the sun up above a calm & sparkling
Mediterranean, for our weekly shopping, down in Sabinillas.
I popped into ‘ ItZabar’ for my usual toast
& tea, Kevin, the owner is away for ten days, working on his new house up
in Alicante, next week, ‘Big Brian’ with Brad & Andy had been in for an
afternoon session yesterday!
I then did our main shop in a busier ‘
Mercadona’ – where I bumped into Kevin, our friend from Brighton, who arrived
yesterday with his wife Caroline and two friends, at their apartment in
Sabinillas, just across the road from the Supermarket! We have booked a nice
round table, on the terrace at ‘ Restaurante Sarmiento’ tomorrow lunchtime, Saturday,
as it’s Caroline’s 60th Birthday celebrations, over the weekend! Watch
this space
This morning started a little cloudy &
overcast, but the sun soon broke through and the clouds are clearing as there
is a light breeze, by this afternoon it’s going back up to 27 degs+ - over the
weekend it’s staying the same as the breeze drops a little, next week we are in
for a hot & very sunny time, with just a few patchy clouds, hovering in the
high ‘ teens’ – on Wednesday reaching 30 degs+ - a little cooler next weekend
as the breeze stiffens, watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having “
Posh Fish n’Chips “ – Fillets of Hake dipped in a ‘ Cruzcampo Beer Batter ‘ –
shallow fried in Vegetable Oil, until crisp & golden, served with ‘Mushy
Peas’ and of course ‘ Triple’ cooked ‘ Chips’ – with lots of Lemon Wedges and not
forgetting the Homemade ‘Tartar’ sauce on the side! Our ‘ Steak Night’ has been
moved to Sunday , as we are out for lunch tomorrow with the folks.
Yesterday evening after supper we watched a
very exciting documentary about the American rock climber ‘Alex Honnold’ - best
known for his free solo ascents of big walls, without ropes or safety gear, as
he attempted to climb the 3,200 foot face ‘ El Capitan’ in the ‘Yosemite
National Park’ in California’s Sierra
Nevada – which he did in 3 hours & 56 minutes, in 2017, becoming the first
and only person to ‘ Free Solo’- the ‘Freerider’ route – one of the great
athletic feats of any kind, catch the award winning ‘Free Solo’ documentary,
even the cameraman filming it couldn’t watch!!
