SUNDAY 12th/APRIL 2020. “ STATE OF ALARM DAY 29 “
“ EASTER SUNDAY “
We were up a little earlier this morning
and after a quick toast & tea we got the ‘ Sunday Roast ‘ on the go.
Sadly no ‘ Leg of Halal Lamb’ as usual on ‘
Easter Sunday’ – instead we are having a local ‘ Roast Chicken’ – jointed into
the ‘Crown, Legs & Thighs’ - seasoned with Sea Salt, crushed Black Pepper
& Lemon Juice, roasted on a bed of ‘Mixed Vegetable’ trivets, accompanied with
a savoury ‘ Mixed Herb’ stuffing and my now famous ‘ finger-licking’ Pan Gravy!
See below as it came out of the oven!
The ‘ Second/Vegetable Chef’ has prepared ‘
Broccoli & Cauliflower Florets in a three Cheese sauce, Crushed Baby Carrots
& Turnips, Creamed Leeks, Braised Onion, Wilted Swiss Chard & Green Beans
and Garden Peas’ ( for me!)
See below, before going in the oven;
Finally we are having ‘ Chicken Juice Roast
Potatoes’ ( Sadly no Goose Fat!) – par-boiled, sliced in halves/round – roasted
in a very hot-oven this evening, see below later!
The next wet, windy & cold ‘ Atlantic’ front
has arrived earlier than forecast, so it’s a little grey & overcast with a
low cloud base, there is a cooler breeze so by lunchtime on what would have
been the climax of the ‘ Semana Santa celebrations, on ‘Easter Sunday’ - it’s now
forecast to only reach 17 degs+ with the
threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ hanging in the air - overnight 13 degs+ - next week
is still going to be very unsettled, with more of the same weather to come, but
hovering in the high ‘ teens’ – as the breeze drops, even up to 21 degs+ by
next Saturday, the following week is not looking much better, watch this space.
“ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
You can see on our main ‘ Facebook’ page a ‘Zoom
Video’ -arranged/posted by our friend ‘
Fernando Antiñolo ’ – the ‘Head of the School of Music ‘ and the leader of the ‘
Manilva Brass Band’ – showing the ‘Band’ members in their houses and all our
friends & neighbours also, playing & singing a traditional ‘ Semana Santa
– Easter Song ‘!
Sorry that I can’t post it on the Blog!
On ‘ Good Friday, yesterday and later
today, for our usual afternoon ‘ Tea & Biscuits’ – we have treated ourselves
to ‘ Toasted Hot Cross Buns ‘ to get
into the ‘ Easter Spirit’!
Later this afternoon/early evening we will
be making contact on the ‘ Skype ‘ video/audio link up with Norah, Jenny and
then Sandra & Bill over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, to wish then all ‘
Happy Easter ‘ – no cards this year, overnight Sandra set us a ‘ ‘Singing
Easter Card Video ‘!
We are now into the fourth week of ‘LOCKDOWN’
here in Spain, with another 15 day period forecast, after the 26th
April! Watch this space.

STAY SAFE & SOUND INSIDE AT ALL TIMES “
