MONDAY 21st/ OCTOBER 2019.
I was up very early this morning to see
little ‘ Miss Bella’ back with us, she’s also back tomorrow morning, she went
on her small rug and had a little sleep, ‘Lolo’ as usual, slept all night on
his bed/rug, he’s due to be collected later this evening, on Thursday afternoon
‘ Scruffy’ is joining us for a sleep-over, then on Friday afternoon ‘ Sunny’ is
arriving for her two-week holiday, no doubt ‘ Chispa’ will be in & out all
the time to see all her old friends in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ Watch this space.
After freshening up Brenda took ‘Lolo’ out
for his first walk of the day, around the ‘Plaza de la Vendemia’ – when they
returned I had prepared our breakfast, a ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’
for me, smothered in ‘ HP ‘ Brown sauce, open on brown for Brenda, with some of
her favourite sliced Mushrooms that I had sautéed in the Bacon juices, with a
knob of Butter, some of which ended up in my Butty, along with mugs of
strong/hot tea, to set us up for the week ahead!
On Tuesday morning I’m taking the car to be
checked, for Oil, Water & Tyre pressure, then topping up the petrol, as on
Wednesday morning we are going up to ‘ Alhaurin el Grande’- behind Malaga, to
meet our dear friend ‘ Joyce Baby’- from Chester, she has had her house there
for many years, in the centre of the town, we will then spend the day with her,
no doubt visiting various Bars & Restaurants!
As usual, on Friday morning I will be out
on my travels, down in Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, watch this space.
Overnight the breeze has dropped a bit, the
sun is attempting to break through and the clouds are clearing slowly, the
threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ later, is still in the air, by this afternoon it
will only reach 19 degs+ - the first time in over nearly five months that it’s
dropped below 20 degs! Tomorrow is
looking the same, then on Wednesday, on most of the forecasts, it’s now looking
dry & sunny, with just the chance of patchy rain possible, as the breeze pick
up, the rest of the week and over the weekend is now looking dry, sunny and
settled, with a few patchy clouds, hovering on the 21 degs+ mark, next week is
looking a little cooler. Watch this space.
Just one football result from yesterday;
sadly Liverpool didn’t play very well and could only draw with Manchester Utd
1-1 ! They are still six points clear of Manchester City at the top of the ‘
Premiere League’!!
Now for a memory from the past; back in the
early 60s, in Liverpool, as the ‘ Mersey Beat’ scene was at it’s highest, my
school friends formed a group called “ The Dennisons “ while at the ‘
Collegiate Grammer School’ ( Clive Hornby & Ray Scragg ( Rhythm Guitar) )
with me as their ‘ Roadie’!
See below;
Named after a street in Liverpool, and inspired
by the an early ‘Merseybeat’ band ‘The Ravens’ ( later Faron’s Flamingos ) –
all from the ‘Orrell Park’ area, near Aintree! Our local music centre, where all
the Bands in Liverpool played, upstairs, was in the famous ‘ Orrell Park Ballroom’
See below;
I grew up with Clive ( Drums) Steve McLaren
( Lead Guitar) & Allan Willis (Bass Guitar) where we all lived in two
streets, next to one-another. Clive Horby later became the actor best known for
his portraying of ‘Jack Sugden’ in the soap ‘ Emmerdale ‘ !
Sadly they are all now dead except Allan
Willis, who’s mum, Ann, was my mum’s, Muriel, best friend, we lived at 78 Trevor
Road & Ann at 68 Trevor Road, five doors down, Ann lived to be 100+ years old, we spoke to her on her ‘Birthday’ - where she lived down in Ross-on–Wye,
with Allan and his family, who we are still in contact with ( Facebook)
See below;
From left to right; Clive, Steve, Ray, Eddy
& Allan!
Their debut single “ Be My Girl “ was written
by Steve & Eddy Parry (the Singer) – later the classic ‘ Little Latin Lupe
Lu’ & ‘ Tutti Frutti’ and 'Walking The Dog' were hits.
“Happy Days and many Memories “
“Happy Days and many Memories “
For our supper this evening we are having
the rest of the ‘Roast Chicken’ ( cold )
with the Vegetables and ‘ Goose-Fat Roast Potatoes’ On Tuesday, for a change,
it’s going to be ‘ Braised Beef ( Entrecote) Slices in a rich Red Wine, Onion,
Shallot & Mushroom Salas ‘ with some of Brenda’s famous ‘ Mashed Potato’!
Thursday we will find something in
fridge, then on Friday it will be our usual ‘ Fish Supper’ – Saturday is always
‘ Steak Night’ and then next Sunday it could be one of my famous ‘ Risotto’s’ Watch
this space.
We are taking things easy today, Brenda has
a stack of Ironing to get through, not her favourite job, as we prepare to go
out tomorrow, later we will channel hop to find something to watch, this
morning as we were getting ready, we were listening, as usual, to the ‘ Andrew
Charles Breakfast Show’ on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW “ as
the ‘ Music quiz’ came on, we know it but can’t agree who it is, watch this
space!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
