SUNDAY 10th/ NOVEMBER 2019. “
REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY “
We managed another nice lie in this morning
before two neighbours talking in the street below our bedroom window woke us
up! We then freshened up and before we went downstairs we made a quick ‘ Skype’
voice call to Jack & Lyn over in Melbourne, as it was a good time to call
them, 10-00 am here, 8-00 pm over there, sadly Jack is not very well and now
has the ‘Palliative’ care nurses calling in to look after him, Lyn was her
usual ‘chatty’ self and we had a good catch up with all the news, we are going
to keep in touch with her on a more regular basis, for now.
When we came downstairs, as usual, Brenda
& I go outside to see/feel how the weather is, sadly this morning,
overnight, some ‘ Scum-Bag’ has stolen one of our wall plant pots, from around
the corner, it was a large one with a special plant, they are all fixed/secured
to the wall – we hate this happening, as it shows that here are nasty people
around in the village!
We had a light breakfast of fresh sliced
Banana and toast with mugs of hot/steaming to tea, before getting the day on
the go. I’m up in the office/studio on the ‘WWW’ – then typing/posting today’s
Blog, meanwhile Brenda is ‘ pottering’ – at 11-00 am ( 12 – noon here) we are going watch the ‘ Remembrance Day’ ceremony
from the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, as this year the ‘Prince of Wales’ lays
the wreath, for the Queen, who will be
on the balcony overlooking the ceremony, our favourite part is when the massed
Bands play “ Elgar’s Enigma Variations
Nimrod “ before the ‘ Last Post ‘
This morning the sun was out earlier the
sky is clearing and blue with a few high clouds, there is a stiff/cold breeze
blowing, so sadly by lunchtime it’s only to going to reach 16 degs+ - with the
threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ in the air, overnight dropping down to only 9/11
degs, cold for the time of the year, next week is now looking cooler, with some
sunshine at times, staying windy and going wet on a couple of days, as the
breeze stiffens, by next weekend down to 14/15 degs! Watch this space.
Over at the ‘Carleton University Fieldhouse’
in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, yesterday Alanna received her graduation for her ‘
Masters Degree in English Literature ‘ after studying English, Political
Science & International Relations, it was a proud ‘Momma’ moment, as you
can see below, with a graduation gift of the vintage ‘ Underwood’ typewriter,
from the company based in New York, back in the early 1900s, it was the Worlds,
first widely, most successful modern typewriter!
Just a quick update on the football results
from yesterday; Everton won 1-2 ! – over here Real Madrid won 0-4 &
Barcelona won 4-1 with yet another Messi hat-rick!
This evening for our supper we are having ‘Pan-Seared
Medallions of Pork Fillet’ accompanied with a creamy ‘Green Peppercorn ‘ Salsa,
served with whole Baby ‘ French’ Green Beans and Baby Carrot Batons with
Ginger, along with ‘ Pommes de Terre Rissolees
‘ – Baby New Potatoes ( boiled) in their skins, then sautéed in foaming Parsley
Butter until crisp & golden!
While I have been typing/ posting today’s
Blog I have been, as usual, listening to the ‘Pete Black Retro Roadshow’ on ‘Castle
Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’ as the ‘Film Quiz’ came on, it was this
week ‘ Psycho’ from 1960, with Antony Perkins & Janet Leigh, directed by
Alfred Hitchcock ! We are in the monthly draw, again!!
Later this afternoon we will be watching
the ‘ Match of the Day ‘ as Liverpool welcome
Manchester City to Anfield.
See below;
This evening after supper we will be
channel hopping to find something to watch, last night the ‘ Spiral 7 ‘ back to
back episodes were very gripping, as the two main Detectives went ‘ Rogue ‘ to
help find the murderer of their colleague and who was the master mind behind
the money laundering gang?! At the end they were both arrested by the corrupt police
chief!! Watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
