SUNDAY
8th/DECEMBER 2019 “ DIA DE LA INMACULADA CONCEPCION “
We had a little lie in
this morning before getting another beautiful day on the go, down here on the ‘Costa
Del Sol ‘ After freshening up we took ‘ Sunny’ out for her first walk of the
day, she’s great company and very well behaved, she walks at our ‘Pensioner’
pace! ‘Chico’ is now arriving in 30 minutes time, for his short mini-break,
until Thursday morning, he’s then back over Xmas, just for a week.
When we returned, as
Brenda was on the breakfast rota, I had her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on
Toast – Scrambled for herself, on brown, with mugs of hot/strong Tea.
See below;
We have another glorious
morning here in sunny Manilva, the sun was out first things and the clouds are
clearing and the sky is now bright blue, there is a light breeze, so by
lunchtime it will be very warm & sunny, it’s due to reach 19 degs+ - overnight down to
9/10 degs, the perfect time of the year, down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ - next week is now looking dry & settled,
with warm sunshine, with just a few patchy clouds, hovering in the mid/high ‘
teens’ – up to 20 degs+ by Tuesday, it’s going to be dry and ‘ fresh’ for our
trip to Malaga, on Thursday, to see the ‘ Xmas Light & Music Extravaganzna ‘ along ‘ Calle Larios’ in the centre of the
city. The following week is also now looking settled and mainly dry, watch this
space.
Just a quick update on
the football results; Everton won 3-1 ( Big Brian!) Liverpool won 0-3 and
Manchester Utd beat Manchester City 1-2, so Liverpool are now 14 points ahead
of City in the ‘Premiere League’! Over here Real Madrid won 2-0 and Barcelona
beat Mallorca 5-2 with Messi scoring another hat-trick – his 35th
for them!
This evening for our
supper we are having ‘ Braised Lamb Shanks in a Minted Gravy’ – served with Glazed
Carrot Batons with Ginger, Whole Baby ‘ French’ Green Beans & Baby Leeks in
a cream sauce, Broccoli Florets in a Chess sauce, Garden Peas and Baby Roast Potatoes in ‘ Goose-Fat’

We are taking things easy
for the rest of the day, later we will check out the ‘Festival’ as today it’s
the ‘ Xams Parranda Bands’ competitions, they start by parading along ‘ Calle
Mar ‘ ( see below ) -passing ' Bar Castillo ' After supper we will settle down and channel hop to find something to watch.
