TUESDAY 11th/ FEBRUARY 2020.
I was up first this morning to see little ‘
Miss Bella ‘ back with us for the day, she shot upstairs and joined Brenda for
a further lie in, she’s back tomorrow morning also, on Thursday evening ‘
Scruffy’ is with us for a sleep over, until Friday evening, then on Saturday ‘
Chico’ is joining us for his extended 3/ 4 week holiday, we now have a booking
for Lola, at the end of February for over two weeks, so it’s going to be a busy
start to March! Watch this space.
After a quick freshen up I then popped
along to the local Bank in ‘Calle Mar’ to pay out water bill, Brenda reads the
meter, once a week, and then checks the bills when they are dropped off, she does
the same with the electricity readings/bills. We had a light breakfast of toast
& tea before getting the day on the go. I then popped down to ‘Talleres
Tony Garage ‘ to pay him the bill for the latest repairs etc.
We have another glorious morning down here
on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ – the sun was out early and the sky has cleared and is
bright blue and cloudless, there is just a very light breeze so by lunchtime it’s
due to reach 20/21 degs+ during night
time down to 11/12 degs+ - over the next few days and across the weekend we are
in for more of the same, staying warm & sunny, with a few patchy clouds at
times, hovering in the high ‘ teens’ and even going a little warmer by the
weekend, next week is starting warmer and very sunny, but by next Wednesday, as
the new cold, wet & windy ‘ Atlantic’ front comes we could be in for the
return of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ Watch this space.
We have now greed/planned the ‘ Menu’s’ for
this week; tonight we are having ‘Escalope’s
of Chicken Breast ‘ – seared on a very hot griddle-plate and finished with a ‘Balsamic
& Lime Butter’ salsa, served with Baked Stuffed Peppers ( Red & Yellow
half’s) – filled with the ‘Risotto’ rice, with finely sliced ' French' Green Beans and ‘Pommes Rissolees ‘ – Baby Boiled
Potatoes, in their skins, tossed in foaming Parsley Butter until crisp &
golden.
On Wednesday evening it’s going to be ‘
Grilled Gammon Steaks’ topped with seared Pineapple and ‘ Campo’ Fried Eggs,
with Garden Peas and triple-cooked Chips, our favourite ‘Pan- Fried Chicken
Wings’ with Baked Potato for Thursday, then for our ‘ Valentines Supper’ we are
having a starter of ‘ Suchi’ – followed by ‘Paupiettes of Hake’ ( rolled &
poached ) coated with a ‘ Prawn & Lobster’ sauce, for the dessert I’m making my special ‘
Crepes a la Mode’ ( very thin pancakes with Vanilla Ice Cream) with Strawberries!
As usual on Saturday it will be our ‘ Steak
Night’ and on Sunday, for a change, ‘ Grilled Medallions of Pork Fillet’
accompanied with a ‘Green Peppercorn’ salsa, with a selection of fresh
Vegetables and ‘ Breton’ style Potatoes.
Last night after catching up with all the ‘Quiz
Shows’ that we follow, we after supper caught the pen-ultimate episode of the
award winning ‘ Cold Feet’ – this evening it’s the start of the new series of ‘
The Spilt ‘ about a family of sisters,
working as divorce lawyers, starring Nicola Walker.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
