FRIDAY 6th/ DECEMBER 2019. “ DIA DE LA CONSTITUCION “
We managed a little lie in this morning, as
I’m not out on my travels, as it’s a ‘ National Bank Holiday ‘ here in Spain,
for “ Constitution Day “ It’s a long
Bank Holiday Weekend as Monday is also a religious ‘Bank Holiday’! The village is very
quiet as the offices in the Town Hall are closed, there are no children going
to school and the locals are taking things easy, before the weekend’s
celebrations!
After freshening up we took ‘ Sunny’ out
for her first walk of the day, she has settled in very well, as usual, she
sleeps down stairs on the settees, then this morning she came and let us know
that it was time to go out! ‘ Chico’ is due to arrive on Sunday and little ‘
Miss Bella’ is now with us on Tuesday/Wednesday, next week.
I was on the breakfast rota so I had my favourite
‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce – open on
brown for Brenda, with mugs of hot/strong tea to set us up for the weekend
ahead.
All the workmen are rushing to finish
installing the new ‘Xmas’ lights along ‘ Call Mar’ and down in the ‘Plaza de la
Vendemia’ the stall holders are arriving to set up, the stage is ready for the
music & singing and dancing, the main bar is set up, so the annual “ Xmas Gastronomic Food, Wine & Music
Festival “ will kick-off at Mid-Day! ( See above )
PS; The Council's Entertainment Department are putting up sound/speakers on the Lamp Posts along 'Calle Mar' this lunchtime, so it looks like the new Xmas lights are going to be a ' Light & Music Extravaganza ' - watch this space.
See below;
The sun it attempting to break through, at
the moment the sky is grey & overcast, with patchy clouds, there is a light
breeze coming up off the ‘ Mediterranean’ - it's now clear & sunny, so by lunchtime it’s forecast to
reach 17 degs+ - overnight down to 11/12 degs – tomorrow and on Sunday it’s
staying dry and sunny, reaching 19 degs+ - next week is now looking mainly
settled, staying sunny with patchy clouds, as the breeze drops a little,
hovering in the mid/high ‘ teens’ – sadly still on Thursday, when we are going
to Malaga to see the ‘ Xmas Light & Sound ‘ display in Malaga, we could
have some of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’! Watch
this space.
This evening for our supper, after we come
back from the official opening of the ‘Festival’ ( 7-00 pm approx) with the turning on of all
of the ‘Xmas Lights’ on the large tree and along ‘ Calle Mar ‘ – by the Mayor,
Mario, with the local ‘Parranda’ Bands playing their distinctive ‘Xmas’ music,
who have been practising over the past weeks, down in the ‘ Casa Des Torres’
Cultural Centre, we are going to have a ‘ Fish N’ Chip Supper’!
It’s “ Goujons of Hake Fillet “ – strips of
Hake coated in a ‘ Cruzcampo Beer Batter’ – then shallow-fried in Vegetable
Oil, until crisp & golden, served with lots of Lemon Wedges and homemade ‘
Tartar’ sauce, accompanied with ‘ Mushy Green Peas’ ( from the Iceland
supermarket!) and of course
triple-cooked ‘ Chips’!
Later, after supper we will be channel
hopping to find something to watch, yesterday evening we watched the last
episode of “ Giri/Haji “ – watch it to find out the exciting ending.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
