THURSDAY 30th/ JANUARY 2020.
We had a nice lie in this morning after a
few early starts this week, tomorrow morning I’m going to be up very early as I’m
going down to the ‘Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas, first thing, to book our
appointments to see our Doctor, sometime next week, I will then carry on with
my travels for our weekly shopping etc.
After freshening up we called Lyn, over in
Melbourne, Australia, on the ‘ Facebook Video’ link up, she was able to see us,
for the first time in a while, so we were able to have a nice catch up with her
and get all the news about Jack, she is looking a lot better and is more
relaxed, and goes into see Jack, everyday, at the ‘Respite Home’ where he has
settled in, they have been putting family picture ‘ Collage’s’ up for him, Annette
called in to see her yesterday and they went for a swim in the ‘Village/Complex’
pool, the first time in a long while for Lyn, tomorrow Jeff is calling in to
see her, as he’s down from Brisbane on business, they are going out for lunch
and to see Jack later, at the moment over there its up 43/44 degs+!
We then had our regular light breakfast of
fresh fruit ( sliced Banana) toast & tea, as we put tomorrows shopping list
together, I’m also going to call into the ‘English Butchers’ down in the ‘
Puerto de la Duquesa Marina’ to stock up, as well as going along to the local market
at the far-end of the promenade in Sabinillas, for our fresh wall plants, the
first this year.
We have another glorious day down here on
the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ and up in sunny Manilva, the sky is blue with just a few
patchy clouds hanging around, there is ‘ fresh’ breeze, so by lunchtime it’s
due to reach 19 degs+ still warm on the
sunny side of the street, tomorrow and over the weekend it’s staying the same
and going a little warmer as the breeze drops, up to 20 degs+ - at night 12/13
degs, next week is starting very warm and sunny, up to nearly 22 degs+ by next
Tuesday, then as the next colder ‘Atlantic’ front comes in, it’s going cooler,
as the wind picks up, back down to 15/16 degs – overnight down to 10/11 degs, but
mainly staying dry with now just a small chance of the ‘Wet-Stuff’ coming back,
watch this space.
At lunchtime today we went along to the Bank to get some cash from the machine, on the way back we stopped at ' Bar Castillo' and sat outside in the hot sunshine for a nice cool drink and Tapas - excellent crispy ' Tortillitas de Camarones - thin Shrimp Fitters ' - on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday lunchtimes, we did the same, when we were out for a walk with little ' Miss Bella' !
Yesterday afternoon we finally managed to
make contact with the ‘Moffatts’ – Tim & Thea, up in ‘Magical Mojacar’ – on
the ‘ Skype’ video, we had a nice catch up with all their news, it’s Thea’s
birthday today, we sent her card (late) on Monday, from our local ‘Sub Post
Office’ – she received the card on Wednesday, at the same time Brenda posted
Norah’s birthday card (early) and she received it on Wednesday also! ( A record
for both!)
For our supper this evening we are having
the rest of the ‘ Chicken & Mushroom Curry’ – 50/50 – with ‘Basmati Rice’
and triple cooked ‘ Frits’! On Friday we
will be having a ‘ Fish Supper’ and on Saturday it’s our usual ‘ Steak Night’ –
then on Sunday we are ‘ Roasting’ -
possibly ‘Pork with Crackling’ ! Watch this space.
Last night we watched, before supper, the
latest Michael Portillo “ Great Asian Railway Journeys “ starting in Hong Kong
and moving onto Thailand, after supper we watched the ‘Red Arrows’ in the USA,
this evening it’s the next episode of “ Death in Paradise” as the main character,
played by Ardal O’Hanlon, moves on, and a new Detective takes over’?!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
