MONDAY 20th/ APRIL 2010. “ STATE OF ALARM – DAY 37 “
After freshening up we had, as I was on the
breakfast rota, a ‘Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty ‘ – smothered in ‘HP’
Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda with mugs of hot/strong ‘ PG’ Tips Tea (
which we are running out off!) to start the sixth week in ‘ LOCKDOWN’!
This morning has started a little cloudy
& overcast, the sun is at the moment attempting to break through, yesterday
by the afternoon it was warm & sunny, so hopefully later it will be the
same, there is a light breeze, so the threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ is still in
the air, reaching 19 degs+ - overnight 12 degs+ - tomorrow it’s going to be the
same, then on Wednesday/Thursday it’s going to be dry & sunny, over the
coming weekend we could have some ‘RAIN’ – but still hovering in the low 20s,
next week is now looking more settled, with sunshine on most days, as the
breeze drops back down, hovering in the low 20s – up to 22 degs+ at times,
watch this space.
“ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
The sixth week here in sunny Manilva, down
on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ is looking, as usual, very quiet, in the routine,
staying inside at all times, only going out ‘ Masked/Gloved’ up when necessary,
down to the local shop for his fresh goods, as well as a small shop in the ‘
Suma’ supermarket, which has been a great help, since it luckily opened just
before the ‘ Lockdown’
Hopefully our dear friend Leah’ will be
going out on one of her shopping expeditions, down to ‘Mercadona & Super
Sol’ in Sabinillas, one day this week, as we are starting to run out of some essentials,
especially from the ‘Cosmetics/Toiletries ’ department!
As usual as I’m typing/posting today’s Blog
I have been listening to the ‘ Lockdown Show’ on the three local radio
stations, this morning I go the correct answers to the ‘ Music Quiz ‘ – ‘ Dire
Straits’ with ‘ Money for Nothing’ and the ‘ Mystery Voice Quiz ‘ – ‘ Sir Steve
Redgrave ‘!!
For our supper this evening we are having
the rest of ‘ Spanish Lamb Steaks/Cutlets’ with the leftover Vegetables and ‘
Boulangere ‘ Potatoes, on Tuesday it’s going to be ‘ Pan-Seared Liver’ –
Wednesday ‘ Grilled Gammon Steaks’ – Thursday will be a choice of ‘ Omelettes’ –
Friday is of course our ‘ Fish Supper’ and on Saturday ‘ Steak Night’ – Sunday is
still TBC, watch this space.
Over in Everett, Ontario, Canada on Sunday
lunchtime Sandra & Bill had a nice Prawn Salad with Marie Rose sauce, see
below.
Last
night after supper we settled down to watch the first new episode of the
excellent ‘ Killing Eve ‘ – as all the old characters reappeared – as well as
new ones, the story unfolded and came up to date, with just three killings to
start, including at the very end, one of the main characters, ‘falling’ from
the top of an office block!
This evening it’s the Final of ‘ University
Challenge ‘ as ‘Imperial College London’ ( Brandon) take s on ‘Corpus Christi Cambridge’ ( Wang ) –
with a pair of awesome ‘ supergeeks’ going head to head, see below.

STAY SAFE & SOUND INSIDE AT ALL TIMES “
