FRIDAY 1ST/ NOVEMBER 2019. “ DIA DE TODOS LOS SANTOS – ALL SAINTS’ DAY “
We had a little lie in this morning after
all the excitement of last night’s ‘ Halloween’ in sunny Manilva, as we ran out
of sweets, as all the local children, with their mothers, called at our door!
It’s a ‘ Bank Holiday’ today, so the
village is quieter than normal, all the families go down to the ‘ Cementerio’
to decorate the wall tombs with masses of fresh flowers!
After freshening up Brenda took ‘Sunny’ out
for her first walk of the day, meanwhile back at the house, as I was on the
breakfast rota I prepared my ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’ – as usual
smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda – with sliced/sautéed
Mushrooms, for both of us, with mugs of hot/strong tea to set us up for the day
ahead!
At the moment we are watching the 3rd
place play-off in the ‘Rugby World Cup’ from Japan, as Wales take on the ‘All
Blacks’ – New Zealand – sadly Wales have just lost 17 – 40!
Overnight the breeze has picked up, this
morning the sun has just broken through, leaving a few patchy clouds, by
lunchtime it’s due to reach 25 degs+ staying dry & sunny, then from
tomorrow and over the weekend, as the cold/wet ‘Atlantic’ front comes in, its’
going to be cooler, down to 20/21 degs with light to moderate ‘Rain’ forecast,
next week is now looking the same, to start, wet & windy, hovering in the
high ‘ teens’ - overnight down to 10/11 degs at times, then by next Thursday is
going dry and sunny up to and over next
weekend, as the breeze drops, watch this space.
Yesterday lunchtime we finally made contact
with Tim & Thea, over in Old Colwyn, North Wales, for a new catch-up. they
are due back in Mojacar, in the middle of November, they are renting a property,
so as Jo can fly in from Dubai and Ben from Manchester, over Xmas!
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Pan-Seared
Fillets of Turbot- Rodaballo ‘ – finished ‘ A La Meuniere’ style – with foaming
Lemon & Parsley Brown Butter, served with Broccoli Florets and Garden Peas,
with Baby New Potatoes in their skins.
We are taking things very easy today, just
relaxing and doing nothing, later we will channel hop and find something to
watch, after I try to re-set the ‘IPTV’ system, which should be online,
according to the systems controller! Watch this space.
