SATURDAY 6th/ JULY 2019.
We had a nice lie in this morning, after
another hot night, as we starting to get freshened up the ‘ Skype’ video call
went off, it was Jack & Lyn, over in Melbourne, who we havn’t spoken too in
a little while, they are both well and we had a good catch up with all their family
news, all ours, of course, is on the ‘Blog’! – which they follow!!
Later today we have arranged a ‘ Skype’
video call link-up with Sandra & Bill, over in Everett, Ontario, Canada,
for a good catch up, they have a busy family weekend, yesterday Sandra had ‘ IT’
problems in work and then came home to a exploding ‘ A/C’ unit, ( yesterday 35c !) - they are then heading off
to ‘Long Island, New York’ and then ‘ Glamping’!
For breakfast Brenda was on the rota, so I
had her very famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast, ( 2) – she had her
favourite ‘Campo’ Boiled Egg with toast fingers, with still, mugs of strong/hot
tea, the ‘ Gas Bottle’ delivery man called and we exchanged bottles.
In ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ we have ‘ Scruffy’
joining us for a sleep-over on Sunday, then all day Monday, on Monday morning
little ‘ Miss Bella’ is back with us, as well as on Tuesday, no doubt ‘ Scruffy’
will be back with us on Tuesday to Friday, in the afternoons, as Adrian continues
with his radiotherapy, we have just had to say sorry to Stuart, as the folks
wanted to drop off little ‘ Winnie’ for a sleep-over on Monday ( sorry) – as usual
‘ Chipsa’ is crashing in & out all the time to see all her friends and us!
Today we are in for a ‘ Hot-One’ – the sun
broke through earlier and the sky is cloudless & blue, there is a very
light breeze, so by lunchtime it will be 31 degs+ - at the moment it’s gone a
little overcast, tomorrow a little
cooler as the breeze picks up, next week is going to be a ‘ Scortcher’ –
hovering in the low 30s+ all week, overnight only dropping to 21/22 degs,
hopefully it’s forecasting that there will be good breeze, most of the time,
watch this space.
Speaking of the ‘ Wind/ Sea Breeze’ – over in
Liverpool in the ‘ Canning Dock’ you can see below the “ Kathleen and May “ –
the last remaining British built( 1900) wooden hull three mastered top sail schooner,
as well as the “ Tactona “ a ‘Gaff Ketch’ sale training ship.
Meanwhile in Liverpool the pictures below
were taken from the top of the ‘ Royal Liver Building’ ( special permission given)
during this week and show the River Mersey at it’s best, the cruise liner
shown, was on a visit, but I havn’t got any pictures of it, the ‘ fast ferry’
passing in on the way to the Isle of Man/Ireland!
Finally below is a picture of the quay at
Conwy, in North Wales, showing the local ‘ Lobster’ boatman, washing down all
his pots!
The last time we had fresh Lobster was when
Sandra & Bill visited us for the first time, nearly three years ago, when I
ordered it for a special cold-starter at ‘Restaurant Macues’- overlooking the ‘
Puerto de la Duquesa Marina, when Norah & Jenny joined us! No doubt the
folks will be having some fresh ‘Lobster’ on their travels next week as they
visit ‘Long Island’ etc!! Meanwhile we can only ‘ dream’!!
This afternoon we will be following the
Tennis from Wimbledon, yesterday is was very exciting as the new very young (15
years old) ‘ Coco’ Gauff, from the USA, reached the fourth round, then I will
be watching the start of this year’s ‘ Tour de France ‘ as Stage 1 goes around
Brussels over 195 kms. See below;
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Grilled
Fillet Steaks’ and some triple-cooked ‘ Frits’ – then tomorrow it’s going to be
sliced cold ‘ Poached Chicken Breasts’ with Mixes Salad and Potato Salad.’
Keeping it simple!
After supper we will settle down to channel
hop to find a good film to watch.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
