TUESDAY 27th/ AUGUST 2019.
I was up very early this morning to welcome
back little ‘ Miss Bella’ for the day, she shot upstairs and joined us on the
bed for a little lie in, on Thursday ‘
Scruffy’ is back with us for a sleep-over on Thursday, we then freshened up
before breakfast, I had my usual, now, ‘Weetabix’ with sliced Banana ( cold
milk) . Brenda had her usual, Brown toast, with mugs of hot tea.
Yesterday morning while we were getting
ready I was, as usual, listening to the ‘Andrew Charles Breakfast Show’ on “
Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW” as the ‘Music Quiz’ came on, for
the first time this week, a three second flash, I got it straight away, it was ‘
Val Doonican’ with “ O’Rafferty’s Motor Car “ !! I’m in the draw on Friday morning, again!
The sun was out early this morning and the
sky has cleared, as there is a stiff breeze blowing, which has also moved, the
much needed, ‘ wet-stuff’ away from us, up in Madrid they have had severe
flash-flooding, it’s now looking dry & settled, with patchy clouds, for the
rest of the week and over the ‘ Vendemia Wine Festival ‘ weekend. By this
afternoon it’s due to reach 28 degs+ - the overall temperatures are hovering at
around 27 degs and staying the same for the start of next week, only down to
20/21 degs during the night. Watch this space.
This evening for our supper we are treating
ourselves to a full supper for a change ‘Grilled Gammon Steaks ‘ – topped with
seared Pineapple Rings and a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg! Served with Garden Peas and of
course triple-cooked ‘ Chips’! Tomorrow evening is still TBC and on Thursday we
have given the staff the night off. I’m possibly going to make a “ Beef &
Vegetable Stew “ – which will become “ Lob Scouse’ with the addition of
diced/boiled Potatoes – to have over the ‘ Vendemia’ weekend, watch this space.
Last night after supper we settled down to
watch, first, the final ever episode of “ Poldark “ – then the second, very
gripping and brutal episode of the classic “ Peaky Blinders “ ( see tomorrows Blog)
Captain Ross Poldark was back in fine form
as he stopped the French invasion, after double-crossing the ‘Frenchies’ - as
an undercover agent - again! The French ‘General’ who arrived in advance, was
shot & killed after a sword fight with Ross, as well as one of the two ‘baddies’ only
injured, – who later were arrested in their nightgowns, to be hung, drawn &
quartered later! Demelza was all mixed up and left with the children for a
while, her young brother’s wife had a baby girl, the other ‘ Preacher ‘ brother
also got married at the end.
Meanwhile the noble Doctor helped Ross to
overthrow the plotters by hiding in a cellar to right down all the details of
the plot! His wife, the ‘posh’ one with money, who always carries her ‘Pug’ dog
in her arms, after loosing a baby daughter, finally opened her arms to him (
another baby just around the corner!) ‘Nasty’ George also helped his ‘arch’
enemy ‘Ross’ by shooting the General, as he arrived in time! Then ‘shot’ off to
London, forever!
Finally Ross & Demelza came back together,
after she forgave him for all his adventures, she also is now expecting a baby!
They then parted on the cliff tops as Ross went off, back to France, to spy for
the Government, as well as his friend the noble Doctor! Ross’s final words were
“ I swear to you, my love, I will return “ – in time for the harvest and the
birth of their baby?!
We are now suffering from ‘ Poldark’
withdrawal symptoms!!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
