SATURDAY 28th/ MARCH 2020. “
STATE OF ALARM DAY 14 “
We had an official lie in this morning
after a good night sleep, we then freshened up and as Brenda was on the
breakfast rota she produced her world famous ‘ Campo Poached Eggs on Toast ‘
using the ‘ Pueblo Bread’ for a change, with mugs of hot/strong tea, to start
the weekend in the right direction!
See below;
This morning it’s at the moment still dry
with a blue but cloudy sky, there is a light breeze so by lunchtime it’s
forecast to only reach 15 degs+ - overnight down to 9/10 degs, with still the
chance of some ‘ Wet-Stuff’ later, yesterday it stayed dry & sunny, but ‘ Fresh’
– tomorrow it’s going to be the same, next week is now still looking unsettled,
with a little sunshine to start on Monday, then a few days of rain, by next weekend
back to sunny & dry, with patchy clouds, hovering in the high ‘ teens’ as
the breeze drops, watch this space.
“ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 “
We are having a quiet weekend in ‘ LOCKDOWN’
– taking things very easy, relaxing, as we face, at the very least, another two
weeks inside, staying ‘ SAFE & SOUND’
On Monday I will be calling the ‘ Costa Del
Sol Hospital’ to cancel Brenda’s appointments, in mid April and then June, she
was due tests in the ‘ Cardiogia/Ecocardiografia ‘ Departments and then a
check-up/results’ meeting with the ‘ Heart’ Consultant, hopefully we will get
back in the system later in the year, watch this space.
Every day we have ‘E-Mails/Facebook’ messages
from old friends, family, old staff & customers asking after us, we also
send ‘ Birthday Greetings’ all the time to them and locals here in sunny Manilva.
Keep in touch it’s so nice to hear from you all at the difficult time!
NB; One day a week we have decided not to watch the news on the TV as well as not reading anything, as each day goes more critical here in Spain especially, and all over the World, to give us a break from the worry etc!

This evening the clocks go forward an hour!
For our supper this evening we are having “
Steak & Chips “ – a grilled piece of ‘Spanish Steak’ – seasoned with Sea Salt &
crushed Black Peppercorns – then grilled on a very hot griddle-plate ‘ Med-Rare’
and left to rest, sliced into fingers ‘ French’ style and garnished with pan-seared
Asparagus Spears, Button Mushrooms, Shallots & Plum Tomato, accompanied
with Dijon Mustard and severed with Whole ‘ French’ Baby Green Beans and of
course triple-cooked ‘ Frits’
We are watching a lot of TV during the day
and later in the evening, all the ‘ Quiz Shows’ that we follow are nearing the ‘Finals’
over the next two weeks, there are many more food/chef/cooking programmes on
(repeats) as well all the usual programmes, we have to channel hop as we don’t
have any programme guides, so we are finding different show to watch, which we
normally woundn’t catch, and later more old films are now being shown!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
