FRIDAY 3rd/ JANUARY 2020.
I was up very early this morning and after
a quick freshen up I shot off on my travels, down to Sabinillas, on the local
Bus, from outside the ‘Wine Centre’ I then waited for the ‘English Bookshop’ to
open and collected the newspapers and a ‘New Year’ card, I walked along to the ‘
Ferraterias’ for some light bulbs, before coming back to ‘Mercadona’ for a little
shop, it was very quiet and I was soon back out and jumped into a taxi and shot
along to the far-end of the promenade, to the local ‘Market’ for our fresh wall
plants, after unloading back at the house I went along to the local Bank in ‘
Calle Mar’ to pay the electricity bill.
For breakfast I had a well-earned ‘Toasted
Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for
Brenda, with mugs of hot tea!
This morning started very ‘ Crisp &
Fresh’ but clear with a blue sky breaking through, as there was a light breeze,
the sun has broken though now, with a few patchy clouds, so by lunchtime it’s
due to reach 18 degs+ - overnight still down to only 9 degs+ - over the ‘Bank
Holiday’ weekend it’s staying the same but a little cooler, next week is also
staying the same to start, hovering in the mid’ teens’ with sunshine and patchy
clouds, until the next cold, wet & windy ‘Atlantic’ front comes in next Friday,
with strong winds and moderate to heavy rain over next weekend, watch this
space.
The ‘ Three Kings ‘ parade is on Sunday
evening at 6-00 pm ish! It has been confirmed on the ‘Council’ web page/Facebook
and in the local newspaper! Monday is an official ‘ Bank Holiday’ all over
Spain as they celebrate “ Three Kings Day – Dia de los Reyes “ as Gaspa, Melchor
& Baltasar arrive !
Yesterday it was our dear friend ‘Tim’s 75th
birthday, as you can see below, he was out celebrating in magical Mojacar with
Thea & Jo, before she goes back to Dubai, Ben had gone back to Manchester after Xmas, the
‘Paella’ looks rather special!
On ‘ Xmas Eve’ our very dear friend ‘ Joyce
Baby’ from Chester, called us from her house up in ‘ Alhaurin el Grande’ behind
Malaga, where she is staying, as usual, over the ‘Xmas/New Year celebrations, we
had a good catch up with all her news and are going to meet up with her in the next two weeks, it’s her turn to
come down to see us in sunny Manilva!
Meanwhile over in Melbourne, Australia, Lyn
was taken out for lunch with a " Furphy Beer " - a ‘Pint’ or two, with Annette & Deb, as you can
see below, Annette was taking the pictures!
Over in Ottawa, Canada at the New Year
celebrations Lanner was out with her friends & Blake ‘ partying’ as you can
see below!
Just a quick update of the first football
results of the ‘New Year 2020’ – Everton lost at Manchester City 2-1 and
Liverpool beat Sheffield Utd 2-0 to make
it a full year without losing in the top flight and maintain their 13 point
lead at the top of the ‘Premiere League’
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Goujons of Hake Fillet’ – coated in breadcrumbs from the local Bakery and
shallow-fried in Vegetable Oil until crisp & golden, accompanied with
Homemade ‘Tartar’ sauce and lots of Lemon wedges, served with ‘ Mushy Green
Peas’ and triple-cooked ‘ Chips’
Last night we watched the second episode of
“ Bancroft “ – the last part is this evening, as she showed her true colours!
Two more ‘ Killings’ as a young Detective was shot dead and a gangsters mother ‘
fell’ from a window! Her son was arrested for the first two murders?! We will
find out this evening the truth, watch this space.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
