THURSDAY 28th/ NOVEMBER 2019. “
THANKSGIVING DAY IN AMERICA “
I was up very early this morning and after
a quick freshen up I shot down to Sabinillas, through the vine fields as the
full and bright red/blinding sun came up above the Mediterranean, I called into
the main ‘ Medical Centre’ and made an appointment for Brenda to see our new
Doctor, this lunchtime.
I then went along to our Bank as I needed a
new document with various bank details, as one of the online documents that I
sent to ‘OliveNet’ was not the correct one, last night our friend Brian called
in to check what was needed, he then stopped for his supper with us! He’s
calling back in and hopefully we will finish the ‘E-Mail’ and send it back to
them, watch this space.
When I returned, as I was on the breakfast
rota, I had my favourite ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’ – smothered in ‘
HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda, with mugs of hot/strong Tea.
We were as usual listening to the ‘ Andrew
Charles Breakfast Show’ on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW” –
the ‘ Music Quiz’ came on, it was a 12 second long intro, which I then got, it was
‘ Stevie Wonder’ with ‘ For Once in My Life ‘ – so I’m in the draw on Friday
morning, again!
At the same time we called Lyn over in
Melbourne on the ‘ Skype’ audio line, Jack is now home and they are arranging
all the necessary ‘Palliative’ care over the next couple of days, he’s feeling
a lot better and was able to get out of bed and with the help of a ‘ walker’
and settle down, Lyn sounds very tired and says that she is looking forward to
the ‘help’ arriving tomorrow, so as they can get back into a quiet routine, Deb
& Annette are with her, which she is very thankful for, watch this space.
As I said it’s another beautiful day down
here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – the sun was out early and the sky has cleared and
is bright blue and cloudless, there is just a very slight breeze, coming up
from the Mediterranean, so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 19/20 degs+ again. Tomorrow
& Saturday are staying the same, but sadly on Sunday, when we are out for
our ‘ Sunday Roast Lunch ’celebrating, a new cold & wet ‘Atlantic’ front is
bringing in some of the ‘Wet-Stuff’ – carrying on to the start of next week,
with moderate to heavy rain, at the same going a little cooler as the breeze
stiffens, hovering in the mid ‘ teens’ – 15/16 degs+ - overnight down to 8/9
degs, with sunshine and a few clouds on the rest of the week, next weekend
could also be ‘ wet’! Watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having the
rest of the ‘Beef & Vegetable Casserole’ with the leftover Savoy Cabbage
& Mash, turned into ‘ Bubble & Squeak ‘! Tomorrow evening we are going
to have ‘ Fish Supper’ – depending on the ‘Market Counter’ selection, when I’m
out on my travels on Friday morning, as usual on Saturday night we are having ‘
Steak & Frits’ Watch this space.
This afternoon/evening we will be taking
things easy and relaxing, basically doing nothing, because we can, later after
supper we will catch the next episode of ‘ Giri/Haji’ on BBC TV 2- as the thriller,
set in Tokyo & London comes to it’s conclusion, a dark, witty and daring
examination of morality and redemption, as it ‘says’!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
