FRIDAY 27th/ DECEMBER 2019.
We had a nice, long, lie in this morning,
as I didn’t need to go out on my travels, down to Sabinillas, for the weekly
shopping, as we are well stocked up, also we have still not got the car back
from the garage, after all the repairs and re-taking the ‘ ITV-MOT’- watch this
space.
If only!
The only problem is where to put the shopping !!
After freshening up Brenda took ‘ Pucci’
out for his first walk of the day, he spent the night with us on the rug by the
side of the bed, as he’s been asking to go out during the middle of the night,
he’s settled down and I had to wake him up this morning! He’s with us in ‘
Doggy World Heaven’ until ‘New Years Day’ - in the evening.
When they returned, as I was on the
breakfast rota, again, I had a little treat of a ‘Toasted ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg (2)
Butty’ – smothered in ‘HP’ Brown sauce, with brown toast, for Brenda, with mugs
of strong/hot ‘PG’ Tips Tea!
After breakfast we called Jenny, over in
Runcorn, Cheshire, were she is staying with Norah over Christmas, as it’s her
birthday today, we managed to talk/see her on the ‘Facebook Video ‘ link-up on
Darren’s, Norah’s son, mobile phone, for the first time! Hopefully her & Norah will be online in
2020, on ‘Facebook & Skype’ – watch this space.
Brenda then shot out on her travels, staying
local, as she went along to the ‘ Chemists ‘ in Calle Mar, to top up our
prescription tablets, then call into the main ‘Supermarket’ – there are now
two, next to one another, before dropping down to our local shop, at the bottom
of our street, to pick up some essential fresh vegetables etc.
We have another beautiful day, here in
sunny Manilva, the sun was out first thing, the sky is slowly clearing with a
few patchy clouds hanging around, the breeze has picked up a little, so by
lunchtime it’s going to only reach 18 degs+ - over the weekend staying a little
cooler as the breeze stiffens, next week is now forecast to be mainly dry &
settled, with patchy clouds, hovering in the mid ‘teens’ at around 16/17 degs+
- overnight dropping down to 11/12 degs, with the chance of some of the ‘Wet-Stuff’
with us, over the ‘New Year’ celebrations, by the following first weekend of
2020, back to warm & sunny, watch this space.
Just as we were about to go out for our lunchtime walk our dear friend ' Big Brian' called to see us, so we went along to ' Bar Castillo' for a nice cool drink and a catch up.
Just a quick update on the football results
from yesterday; Everton won 1-0 & brilliant Liverpool, playing sublime
passing football, beat Leicester City, at home - who are 2nd in the ‘Premiere
League’ – 0-4! So Liverpool are now 13 POINTS’ clear at the top of ‘Premiere League’!!
This afternoon we will be watching the ‘
National Hunt Racing’ again, from Kempton
Park & Chepstow, where it’s the ‘ Welsh Grand National’ – over 3 miles and
5 furlongs, with twenty-two fences!
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Grilled
Salmon Steaks’ – finished ‘A La Meuniere’ style, with nut-brown Parsley Butter,
served with ‘Al Dente’ - ‘ Mangetout –
Sugar Snap Peas ’ & Parsley New Potatoes. The weekend Menus are still TBC,
watch this space.
We are relaxing and taking things very easy
this afternoon/evening, settled down on the settee, in front to the TV, as
usual, catching up with all the news, later after supper channel hopping to
find something to watch that is not ‘ Christmas’ related!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
