MONDAY 23rd/ SEPTEMBER 2019.
I was up very early this morning and after
a quick freshen up I saw little ‘ Miss Bella’ back with us for the day, she’s
also with us tomorrow, Chico’ woke up and they started playing together, like
they had been friends forever, ‘Chico’ is due to be collected on Wednesday,
Brenda took then both our for their first walk of the day, around the bottom of
the village, they both found their ‘spots’ – they are very good and great
company, our last dogs in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ for over 8/9 days, no doubt ‘
Chispa’ will be calling in all the time, as usual, watch this space.
I then shot off down to Sabinillas to go to
the main ‘ Medical Centre’ for my appointment with our Doctor, Natalia, for a
review/check up, she has adjusted my ‘Insulin’ dose a little, as my reading are
improving, otherwise all’s well, for now, she’s going on holiday during
October. I also made an appointment for my now 3 monthly ‘V12’ injection, which
the practise nurse fitted in at lunchtime today!
When I returned I had my usual ‘ Weetabix’
with fresh fruit, the last of the Nectarines, while Brenda her usual brown
toast, with mugs of tea, we then made contact with Jack & Lyn over in
Melbourne on the ‘ Skype’ video, as we have not been in touch for a little
while, Jack is a little under the weather and having to take things very easy,
but he still is his usual happy self, Lyn is Lyn, full of joy and smiling all
the time, they have had lots of visitors from both sides of their large family,
this weekend they are watching the final of the ‘ Australian Rules Football ‘
as Jack’s team, the ‘ Richmond Tigers’ are playing!
As I set off the sun was blinding above the
Mediterranean, as I passed through the vine fields, the sky was bright blue and
there was a light, pleasant breeze, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 28 degs+
going a little warmer by Wednesday, up to 30 degs+ -still overnight hovering on
the 18/19 degs mark, the rest of the week and over the coming weekend is
staying the same, by Sunday just a little cooler, down to 24/25 degs+ just in
time for the arrival of the folks from Canada, the week they are here is now
looking dry warm & sunny, with a few patchy clouds at times, hovering in
the mid 20s – about right for the time of the year, watch this space.
“ Countdown 7 Days “
Over the weekend in Liverpool the cruise
liner the “ Norwegian Spirit ‘ was berthed at the Pier Head, sadly no pictures,
just one as it left the River Mersey! See below.
Just a quick update on the sports results

For our supper this evening we are having ‘

Lemon Butter, finished with a dash of Balsamic Vinegar, served with whole Baby
green Beans and of course triple-cook Chips! On Tuesday, for my birthday, we
are going to have ‘ Medallions of Pork Fillet ‘ with a savoury Green Peppercorn
Sauce, with ‘Lyonnaise’ Potatoes and a selection of Vegetables, then on Wednesday I’m going make my now famous
