A ' CRISP' & COOL' - OVERCAST SUNNY MANILVA:


TUESDAY 3rd / DECEMBER 2019.






































I was up very early this morning to see little ‘ Miss Bella’ back with us for the day, she is also now back with us tomorrow morning, she then, as usual, shot upstairs onto our bed and we all had a nice long lie in, in fact we overslept!













After freshening up we had our regular light breakfast of fresh fruit ( Bananas) toast & tea, before getting the day on the go, I went down to our local ‘Butchers’ in the now nearly finished new ‘Calle Iglesia’ – I bought some ‘ Chicken Wings’ for another day and ordered some of his excellent ‘ Diced Beef’ for tomorrow morning.  

We have now agreed the ‘ Menu’s for this week; this evening we are having a ‘ Soft Mixed Grill ‘ – of homemade ‘ Grilled English Farmhouse Pork Sausages, English Smoked Back Bacon, with seared Button Mushrooms & Plum Tomatoes, ‘ Campo’ Fried Eggs and ‘ Heinz’ Baked Beans, with sautéed slices of Baked Potato’!

On Wednesday I’m making a ‘ Beef & Vegetable Stew ‘ – which on Thursday will a ‘Pan of Scouse’- as I add diced Boiled Potatoes. As usual Friday will be a ‘Fish Supper’ – and then On Saturday our ‘ Steak Night’ – on Sunday we are having for a change ‘ Braised Lamb Shanks’ in a Minted Gravy.

















Overnight we had no more rain, this morning it’s started grey & overcast with the threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ hanging in the air, there is a light breeze, so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 16 degs+ overnight down to 11/12 degs, with a little sunshine later, tomorrow and over the next few days over the weekend we are in for a period of unsettled weather, it’s forecasting Patchy/Moderate Rain, partly cloudy at times, with the chance of the sun breaking through, next week is now looking very similar, but slowly going a little warmer & dry, hovering in high ‘ teens’ – 18/19degs+  watch this space.  














As I’m typing/ posting today’s Blog I’m as usual listening to “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW “ as the David Sibbald ‘ Country Classics ‘ Show ‘ blasts out’ – on Sunday, before we went out, I got the ‘Film Quiz’  on the ‘Pete Black Retro Roadshow’ right, it was ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ – this week’s ‘ Music Quiz’ on the ‘ Andrew Charles Breakfast Show’ is a little difficult, it’s a 15 second intro-track of an ‘Xmas’ song – ( Bing Crosby/Jim Reeves?!) I will get it tomorrow when he gives some ‘cryptic’ clues!














After supper we will settle down and channel hop to find something to watch, last night we caught the last episode of the excellent ‘ Vienna Blood’ – catch it if you can.





















Thoughts for the Day; See above.
