FRIDAY 12th/ JULY 2019.
We were both up very early this morning,
for the last time this week, after a quick freshen up we shot down to the main ‘Medical
Centre’ in Sabinillas, for my emergency appointment with our Doctor, Natalia,
she supervised my ‘Blood/Glucose’ reading and then raised my ‘Insulin’ injection,
I have to go back first thing on Monday morning for a review/check up, while we
were there she checked Brenda’s ‘ water works’ problem, she has given her an
antibiotic and test, for a review in a week’s time.
I then carried on to ‘ ItsZabar’ for my
toast & tea, while Brenda waited for the test, ‘Mercadona’ was packed with
holiday makers, I picked up the local newspapers from the ‘English Bookshop’
before going back along to collect Brenda, then we called into the local
markets, at the far end of the promenade, for our fresh flowers & wall
plants, before finally stopping at ‘
Super Sol’ for the ‘English’ essentials, we then unpacked back at the house, where
we had a quick toast & tea.
This morning has started very grey &
overcast, but still very warm & close, it’s going to clear by lunchtime,
with just a few patchy clouds hanging around, as there is just a slight breeze
in the air, reaching 30 degs+ by this afternoon, over the weekend we are in for
more of the same, next week is still going to be a ‘ Hot-One’ – reaching 33
degs+ by Tuesday, the breeze will then pick up, keeping it in the low 30s/high
20s, over next weekend, overnight only
dropping to 21/22 degs+ -watch this space.
This afternoon ‘ Scruffy’ is back with us
in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ – no doubt he will be with us next week, for the five
afternoons, little’ Miss Bella’ is back on Monday/Tuesday, yesterday afternoon
our ‘ IPTV’ system went off, so yesterday evening Daniela called in and fixed
the problem, while she was here she asked if we could look after little princess
‘ Reina’ as the start of August, which just fits in as ‘ Chico’ is back for his
three week holiday at the same time!
On the sports front today; It’s the
Semi-Finals at Wimbledon of the Men’’ Singles, at Silverstone they are
practising for the ‘ British Grand Prix’ – meanwhile at the ‘Tour de France ‘
today’s ‘Stage 7’ goes from Belfort to
Chalon-sur-Soane, over 230 kms, the longest stage in this year’s Tour!
Last night after our supper at ‘ Bar Castillo’
we went down to the ‘ Casa des Torres’ Cultural Centre’ for the ‘ Tango/Bossa
Nova’ Concert, it was performed by the group “ Sonlalson “ – three men on
various Guitars, Double Bass and Percussion, all singing, along with a couple
of dancers, changing costumes all the time, all very professional, the dancers
were spectacular and the singers all took the lead at different times, as well
as playing multi-instruments, with a selection of classic ‘ Bossa Nova’ songs
& dances, and terrific ‘Tango’ routines, finishing with a version of “
Guantanamera “ See above a selection of pictures.
We are having a ‘Lazy’ weekend, basically
doing nothing, because we can, taking things very easy, keeping cool, drinking
lots of cold water, relaxing, taking short ‘ Siestas’ – getting our energy
back, still eating a little, watching all the sport, with all the fans on – ‘Full
Blast’ – with the occasional glass of ‘ Vino Tinto’ for Brenda and a nice chilled
‘Cuba-Libre’ for me!
PS; “ Poldark “ Starts on Sunday, the final series!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
