MONDAY 8th/ JULY 2019.
Brenda was up, first, early this morning to
welcome back little ‘ Miss Bella’ with a rather nice surprise, Leah with her
young son ‘Deemy’ ( 11 years old ) – she had sent us a ‘ Facebook’ message,
asking us if we could look after him, with his broken arm, as his dad, Ryan was
flying back from the UK at lunchtime, Leah works in Gibraltar, two days a week,
it’s not a problem, he’s a lovely young man, the only technical hitch was that
his ‘IPad’ would not connect to our system! We are working on the problem,
watch this space.
It’s a small World, Ryan is from Abergele,
North Wales, which we know very well, as our house was just up the valley,
behind the town, in Rhyd-y Foel - ‘Deemy’ ( a ‘Welch’ name) went to primary school in the town, where they
lived.
‘Scruffy’ spent the night under the bed on
the marble floor, he & ‘Bella’ are getting on, ‘Bella’ is very excited and
charging around playing, Scruffy is just sitting watching! He will be picked up
later this afternoon, he’s back with us everyday up to Friday, ‘Bella’ is back
in the morning.
Just a very basic freshen up this morning
as we have no water, the whole village is off as the main pump into the village
has burst! We had our usual fresh fruit, toast & tea for breakfast.
PS; It came back on at 3-00 pm !
PS; It came back on at 3-00 pm !
Yesterday afternoon the breeze picked up
and during the night all the shutters on the house’s were rattling, it’s
dropped a little this morning, the sun is out and the sky is blue &
cloudless, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 28 degs+ - going hotter tomorrow,
then, now dropping back a little, as the breeze picks up, hovering in the high
20s, but by Sunday back up to 33 degs+! – next week is now going to be a ‘ Scorcher’
– watch this space.
See below pictures showing ‘ Church Alley’ –of
‘ Church Street ‘ in Liverpool city centre, with the ‘ Athenaeum Club’ on the
right, founded in 1797, as a ‘Gentleman’s Club’ – the members, now both men
& women are known as’ Proprietors’ – at the top end of the ‘Alley’ is the “
The Bluecoat Chambers “ – built in 1716, as a charity school, the oldest surviving
building in central Liverpool.
PS; The last time I was in the ' Bluecoat Chambers ' was with my dad, ' Tommy' Sexton - as a young 7 year old, he took me to see a ' Model Railway ' exhibition, as I had a large Model Railway ' Hornby OO Gauge ' system/track in my bedroom, in fact the bed was in the middle of it! " Happy Memories "
See below ' Hobbies Toy Shop ' in Liverpool, back in the late 50s, where he bought all the trains & tracks, until in the mid 60s, when we went around Europe on our travels with my mum, Muriel, Eileen Sexton! He bought different trains/track/systems and added them into the large layout!!
On the sports front today; over at
Wimbledon it’s the start of the second week, last night USA beat Holland 2-0 to
win the ‘ Fifa Women s World Cup’ – for the second time in succession!
This afternoon the 3rd Stage of
the ‘ Tour de France ‘ over 211 kms, goes from Binche to Epernay, in the heart of
the ‘ Champagne’ region!
See below;
This evening for our supper we are having the
rest of the sliced, cold ‘Poached Chicken’ with some ‘ triple-cooked ‘ Chips’
& Mayonnaise! The menu’s for the rest of the week are still one day at the
time, watch this space.
Yesterday evening after supper we watched
the final episode of “ Gentleman Jack “ as the two Anne’s, were finally
reunited! There is going to be another
series later in the year.
We are still taking things very easy,
basically doing nothing, because we can, relaxing, keeping as cool as possible,
drinking lots of cold water, with all the fans on, taking little ‘ Siestas’ all
the time, my right leg is clearing but my left arm, which looks a lot better,
is still giving me lots of ‘Jip’ – I can’t put it down or bare to have it
touched! I’m making an appointment to see our Doctor, Natalia, later in the
week, Brenda is feeling a little better as her ‘ waterworks’ problem has eased
off, watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
