FRIDAY 8th/ NOVEMBER 2019.
We were both up very early this morning and
after a quick freshen up we shot off on our travels down to Sabinillas as the
sun was coming up above the Mediterranean, our first port of call was the main ‘
Medical Centre’ to make appointments with our Doctor, Natalia, sadly after her
holidays she has been moved to San Pedro, we have been with her for nearly five
years and are going to miss her terribly, we will find out at lunchtime today
who are new Doctor is?!
NB; The new Doctor is another Natalia, this time Spanish, who dosn't speak a word of English, Brenda went first and showed her the ' Dermatology' report, she gave Brenda a further prescription for her cream, then it was the ' Kidney' report/sign-off, which she noted and checked her latest Blood tests results,finally Brenda gave her the ' Heart Consultants' report/update, and she noted the appointments next April, as well as issuing a new prescription for her new main tablet - ' Result '
I then took my turn and showed her my 'Insulin' injection charts, which she said was fine, I showed her my next appointment with the 'Prostate Consultant' at the start of December,and she issued a 'Blood' test document, which I have arranged for next Wednesday morning! Another 'Result '
At the same time I made our appointments for our ‘
Gripe- Anti-Flu ‘ injections next Wednesday evening. Watch this space.
We then shot along the coast road to the ‘
newsish’ “Mercadona “ for our weekly
shopping, Brenda’s first visit to the store, it was then time to come back to
Sabinillas and drop down to the local market, at the far-end of the promenade,
for our fresh flowers & wall plants, including our first ‘ Poinsettia’! Next
I dropped Brenda off at the ‘ English Booshop’ for the local newspapers and to
give her a chance to find the family ‘Christmas Cards’ etc – in her own time! Meanwhile I carried on to ‘
Super Sol’ for our English essentials, before picking Brenda up outside the Bookshop,
we then shot back up the hill to unload back at the house.
This morning it’s very ‘ crisp & fresh’
as there is a stiff breeze blowing up from the Mediterranean, the sky is blue
with high white clouds, by lunchtime it’s forecast to only reach 16 degs+ -
down to 9/10 degs during the night, over the weekend it’s staying the same, dry
& sunny, going just a little warmer by Sunday, next week is now looking
cool and sunny to start then going wet and cooler from Wednesday onwards,
hovering on the 17/18 degs mark, as the breeze stiffens, with patchy clouds,
next weekend we could be in for some sunshine, watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Goujons of Hake Fillet’ in a ‘ Cruzcampo Beer Batter’ – shallow-fried in
Vegetable Oil until crisp & golden, served with Homemade ‘Tartar’ sauce and
lots of Lemon Wedges, accompanies with Garden Peas and triple-cooked ‘ Chips’
On Saturday evening it’s going to be a
large ‘ Chuelton – Rib of Beef ‘ – grilled on the bone, the left to rest and
carved into Finger ‘slices ‘ French’ style, with all the usual trimmings, for
our Sunday supper we are going to have ‘ Medallions of Pork Fillet’ with a ‘
Green Peppercorn’ salsa.
After supper we will channel hop to find
something to watch, this weekend at we have no guests in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’
we are taking things very easy, staying relaxed and staying inside, unless the
stiff/cold breeze drops, watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
