THURSDAY 21st/ NOVEMBER 2019.
We had a nice, well needed, lie in this
morning as yesterday evening Brenda had a nasty fall, at the bottom of our
street, at the steepest part, outside our house it was dry, but in the shade further
down it was wet, she lost her footing and slipped/fell backwards onto her
thigh, elbow, wrist & head! Three local people came to her rescue, one jumping
out of a car, she was badly shaken and in shock,, but thankfully nothing was
broken!
Ice packs and cleaning the cuts on her
elbow helped, she then took things very easy for the rest of the evening. This
morning I insisted that she stay in bed, as she is stiff and aching all over,
she took her normal tablets, I then popped along to our local Chemists in ‘Calle
Mar’ for some ‘Paracetamol’ and they also recommended an ‘Ointment’ for the
bruising/pain. ‘ Rest & Recuperation
‘ is on the ‘ menu’ for the rest of the day!
Watch this space.
After a quick freshen up I then made us
some breakfast, as I was on the rota, a ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’
for me – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda, with some
of her favourite sliced Baby Mushrooms seared in the Bacon juices, with a knob
of Butter, with mugs of hot/strong/sweet Tea, ‘ Feed’ an illness, as my Mother
used to say! Watch this space.
Yesterday the forecasted ‘RAIN’ didn’t hit
us, overnight we had some light drizzle and this morning it’s grey &
overcast with dark rain clouds above, at the moment we have a light drizzle, with
a slight breeze, by lunchtime it’s going to get wetter, only reaching 15
degs+`- then tomorrow the wind is getting up and we are in for heavy ‘RAIN’ – with
on Saturday the possibility of more of
the same.
Then from Sunday and all of next week, as
the next ‘ Atlantic’ front comes in, the breeze is dropping right down, as the
temperatures go back up, hovering on the 17/18 degs mark, by next weekend up to
20 degs+! - overnight hovering on the
11/12 degs mark, with warm sunshine & partly cloudy at times, about normal for
the time of the year, watch this space.
I’m going to go out on my travels on Saturday
morning this week, for our weekly shopping, not Friday as normal, as hopefully
the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ will not be so bad!
As I was walking along ‘ Calle Mar’ this
morning there are some painters inside ‘ Bar Rojas ‘ – Lumy confirmed yesterday,
when we were out for a cool drink at lunchtime, sat outside at ‘Bar Castillo’ that it’s due to reopen shortly as a ‘Pizzeria’
– this will now give three in the village, including the one two doors down
from us ?! We could have a ‘Pizza War’ on our hands!
Opposite the Chemists, in ‘ Call Mar’ a new,
old fashioned, ‘ Barbers’ Pole ‘ has been put up outside a small shop/premises,
watch this space.
Next to it there are new shutters, of what
is rumoured to be, by the ‘locals’ a new ‘ Bar ‘ – next door to ‘ Cafe Plaza’?! We
could have a ‘ Bars War’ on our hands also!
On the ‘ Council’ Web-Page this morning
they have announced the details of the ‘ Xmas Gourmet Fair & Festivities’ –
taking place in the ‘Plaza de la Vendimia’ over three days/nights of the
weekend of the 6/8 December.
See below;
Yesterday I booked a table for ‘Sunday
Lunch’ on the 1st December to
celebrate our 48th Wedding Anniversary’ at the “ La Finca Thai
Fusion’ – along the coast past Sotogrande, outside San Roque, we have been
meaning to go to it for a while, as all the reports are very good, both for the
‘ Thai’ food as well as the ‘ Fusion Sunday Roast’ – our anniversary is on the
29th November but we are busy in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’
See below;
NB; On Monday the 2nd of
December I have my six-month review/check, appointment, across at ‘Costa Del
Sol Hospital’ past Marbella, with the ‘ Prostate Consultant ‘ – ‘ Fingers Crossed’
– after all the various illnesses this year that I get a ‘clean bill of health’
- watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having
seasoned ‘Grilled Chicken Wings’ with Baked Potatoes, garnished with seared
Button Mushrooms. On Friday it’s going to be a ‘ Fish n’ Chip Supper’ – then on
Saturday ‘ Grilled Entrecote Steaks’ with all the trimmings, for our ‘ Sunday
Roast’ we have a ‘Spanish Loin of Pork’ with Apple sauce and ‘ Goose Fat’ Roast
Potatoes, with a large selection of fresh vegetables.
Yesterday evening after supper we caught
the last episode of ‘ Guilt’ – catch it to find out what happened to the two
brothers! This evening we will be channel hopping to find something to watch
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
