SATURDAY 26th/ OCTOBER 2019. “
SANDRA’S BIRTHDAY “
We managed a little lie this morning as the
village is very quiet, after freshening up we had our usual Saturday morning
breakfast of Brenda’s famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on toast for me, Scrambled
on brown for Brenda, with mugs of hot tea.
‘Sunny’ has settled in very well and is
into our routine, she’s eating well and has found her ‘ spots’ when we are out
walking around the village, last night she slept on the three settees, as she usually
does, after we gave her the option of sleeping
in our bedroom on a ‘ make-up’ bed/rug/duvet! This morning Brenda took her out
for the first walk of the day. Little ‘ Paddy’ is due to arrive back with us in
‘ Doggy World Heaven’ tomorrow lunchtime, for his one-night sleep-over, ‘
Chispa’ has been in & out all the time.
After breakfast I settled down in front of
the TV to watch the Semi-Final of the ‘Rugby Union World Cup’ from Japan, as England
took on the un-beaten favourites, the 'New
Zealand All Blacks’ – who proved no
match for the inspired English team who “ WON’ 19- 7 !!
Tomorrow morning in the second Semi-Final
Wales face South Africa, come on Wales!
This morning the breeze has dropped and the
sun is slowly breaking through, there are few patchy clouds hanging around, so
by lunchtime it’s due to reach 22 degs+ - the same again tomorrow, next week is
now looking to get warmer, by Tuesday, when it will be back up to 25 degs+ -
overnight hovering on 15/16 degs mark,- staying in the mid 20s over next
weekend, before the cold ‘Atlantic’ front comes in the following week, watch
this space.
On the sports front this weekend; over in
the ‘Premiere League’ - Manchester City
welcome Aston Villa, Everton have the long journey down to Brighton and
Liverpool are at home to Tottenham Hotspur, here in ‘La Liga’ the ‘ Derby Game’
between Barcelona & Real Madrid has been cancelled because of the riots in
Barcelona! This weekend it’s the ‘ Mexican Grand Prix’ as Lewis Hamilton goes to secure his sixth
title! This afternoon the ‘ National Hunt Jump Racing’ season resumes, with
coverage from Cheltenham & Kelso.
“ SANDRA’S BIRTHDAY “
Over in Everett, Ontario, Canada today
Sandra is celebrating her birthday, back at home, as the kids all come home to
have dinner this evening, all together, as tomorrow it’s the Wedding of Bill’s
son Dylan & Kritika! One ‘ Helluva’ Weekend! We have arranged a ‘ Skype’
video link up later this evening ( 11-00 pm) to catch up with all the family
and wish Sandra “ Happy Birthday- Feliz
Cumpleaños “
This evening for our supper we are having a
large ‘ Grilled Rib of Beef – a Chuleton’ – cooked on a very hot griddle-plate ‘
Med-Rare’ then left to rest, before taking it off the bone and slicing it into
fingers ‘ French’ style, garnished with seared Baby Mushrooms and for a change ‘Deep-Fried
Onion Rings’ coated in the ‘Tempura Cruzcampo Beer Batter’ – accompanied with a
classic ‘ Bearnaise’ sauce and served with finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans
and of course triple-cooked ‘ Frits’
This evening after supper we will be
watching the next episode of ‘Spirall 7’ on BBC Four – the French police crime
drama, based in Paris, with excellent sub-titles!

Sunday!
