SATURDAY 29th/ JUNE 2019.
After a very hot night we had a nice, long,
lie in this morning, after freshening up, Brenda was on the breakfast rota so I
had her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on toast, boiled with brown toast fingers
for her, with mugs of strong/hot tea.
Today we are taking things as easy as
possible, basically doing nothing, relaxing, keeping cool and drinking lots of
cold water, we are not venturing out, I’m on more antibiotics/prescription
tablets then ever in my life, as well as a soothing cream, Brenda is the same,
as she now has a ‘ Water Works’ problem to deal with as well!
See below a different view of sunny
Manilva.
Yesterday evening, at the top of our
street, in front of the Town Hall, in ‘ Calle Mar’ there was a “ Trail Nocturno – Night Time Race “ – for
the first time, with all the runners using ‘ head-lights’ as they ran the route
around the hills, behind the village, see below a small selection of some
pictures.
Not surprisingly we didn't make the start!!
This morning has started very hot &
sunny, the sky is blue & cloudless, with a very slight breeze, meaning that
we are in for a ‘ hot-one’ later today, reaching 29 degs+ - tomorrow even
hotter and the next week it’s going to be a ‘ Scorcher ‘ – hovering in the low
30s, by next weekend up to 33 degs+ - watch this space
On the sports front this weekend we will be
following the ‘ Ladies World Cup Football ‘ over in a very hot France, England
beat Norway last night and the play the ‘Champions’ USA, next week in the
Semi-finals! The Ladies Tennis, final, is from Eastbourne, as Wimbledon starts
on Monday. The ‘ Cricket World Cup ‘ is ongoing and the ‘Horse Racing’ on the
flat, is from Chester, later today, finally over in Austria, it’s the ‘Grand
Prix’ – with Lewis Hamilton going for another win at the ‘Red Bull Ring ‘ in
Spielberg, in the ‘Styrian’ mountains.
Over in Liverpool yesterday the cruise
liner, the “ Black Watch’ berthed at the Pier Head, for the second time this
year, see below also a picture from back
in 1965, of the “ Empress of England “ at the Princes Landing Stage, bringing
back many happy memories of my Uncle who used to work on the liner, in the restaurant
as the ‘ Head Carver’ – as well as on the “ Empress of Canada “ as she leaves on her way to !!??
Last night for our supper Brenda pan-seared
a ‘Fillet of Hake ‘ for me and a ‘Fillet of Pink Sea Trout’ for herself, with a
little Green Vegetables and Parsley Potatoes, this evening she is keeping it
simple, again, with ‘Escalope’s of Chicken Breast’ with Vegetables and Parsley
Potatoes!!
Later this evening we will settle down to
watch the next exciting episode of ‘Killing Eve ‘
