WEDNESDAY 28th/ AUGUST 2019.
We managed a nice lie in this morning, our
first with no dogs with us in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ for a long time! After freshening up we had our usual light
breakfast of ‘Weetabix’ with sliced Banana, in cold milk, for me, Brown toast
and fresh fruit for Brenda, with our mugs of ‘ PG’ Tips hot/strong tea, little ‘
Chispa’ called in to see before breakfast. ’Scruffy is back with us tomorrow
evening for a sleep-over.
This morning the sun broke through earlier
this morning, there is a light breeze and the sky has cleared with just a few
clouds hanging around, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 27 degs+ - overnight still
in the low 20s, tomorrow with could have a little of the ‘ wet-stuff’ – just before
it all kicks off for the ‘ Vendemia Wine Festival ‘ weekend! It will be
hovering at around 27/28 degs+ up to the start of next week, then we could be
in for a little bit of unsettled weather, as the breeze stiffens, down to 25
degs+ with the chance of more ‘Rain’ at times, watch this space.
Today is a rather special birthday,
Liverpool is 812 years old! King John,
back in 1207, on today’s date, gave the ‘Letters
Patent’ that granted the ‘ Charter’ for “ Lurpul “ – see below the original
document!
And this morning!
This evening for our supper we are having
the rest of the ‘ Gammon Steaks’ as the two were very large, so we cut each one
in half, I will grill it as usual with seared sliced Pineapple Rings and
garnished with seared Button Mushrooms, this time with Baked Potatoes and a
little Mixed Salad, tomorrow evening as the staff have been given the night
off, we are going out on the town ( village) as usual, for a light ‘ Tapas’
supper and some nice cool drinks, along to Bar Castillo’ after ‘ Scruffy’ has
been dropped off, he knows it well as Adrian & Rose are also regular customers
and will join us!
Last night after supper we watched the
final episode of the excellent “ Keeping Faith “ with Eve Myles in the title
role, in a powerful and nail-biting ending, as she sorted her complicated family
and work life out. It turned out the wife of the farmer that was shot, who
Faith defended, did kill him, after her young son gave the game away, Faith’s
husband, along with his interfering mother, was chucked out of the house after
Faith found out that he was having an affair with the lady gangster as well as
being mixed up in ‘People Smuggling ‘ Drugs, Blackmail etc, including hiding a dead body in the sands
of South Wales” – the Irish Lady gangster killed her husband’s brother and then
escaped on a light aircraft into the sunset, meanwhile Faith put on hold her love
affair with Steve, as he said ‘ I’ll be there for you when you’re ready’!
Tomorrow I will update the details of the
second episode of the very gripping and this week’s brutal “ Peaky Blinders’ as
the ‘ Billy Boys’ from Glasgow strike!
See below the actual 'Billy Boys' ! Their favourite weapon was the 'Razor Blade' in their caps, the same as the 'Peaky Blinders' - later both 'Gangs' used the ' Thompson Machine Gun ' !!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
