WEDNESDAY 8th/ APRIL 2020. “
STATE OF ALARM DAY 25 “
I was up this morning as we needed to
change our gas-bottle, which I put out last night, so the gas-bottle delivery man
called down our street, which he did as usual, blowing his horn!
After freshening up we had a quick toast
& tea before I got this evenings supper on the go; ‘ Braised Steak in a
Rich Red Wine Onion, Leek & Mushroom Gravy ‘ – ‘ Spanish’ sliced Beef, dusted
in seasoned flour and browned off, at the same time I sweated off the sliced
Onions, Leeks & Baby Mushrooms, with a dash of ‘Lea & Perrins &
Tabasco’ along with a good glug of Brenda’ s precious Red Wine! I then added a
rich ‘ Demi-Glaze’ and cooked off the sauce ,coating the browned-off Beef in
the casserole dish , ready to go in the oven this evening, served with Cabbage
with Acelgas and Glazed Carrot Batons, along with the classic ‘ Pomme de Terre
Rissolees ‘ – Boiled Baby New Potatoes in their skins, sautéed in foaming
Parsley Butter until crisp & Golden!
This morning has started grey &
overcast again, like yesterday, which later in the afternoon turned into a
beautiful sunny day, hopefully the same today, reaching 18 degs+ by this
afternoon, overnight down to 13 degs+ - over the next couple of days and across
the ‘ Easter Weekend ‘ it’s staying the same, with a light breeze, hovering in
the high ‘ teens’ – next week is now sadly looking a little unsettled with some
moderate showers and patchy clouds, but still staying warm & sunny at
times, even up to 21 degs+ by next Wednesday! The ‘ Rain’ will be warm!! Watch
this space.
“ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
Yesterday the ‘ Council’ made contact with
us on the ‘Facebook Messenger’ – it was Maria, who we know, and works for the ‘
Foreign Residents Department’ – asking after our health and if we need any
help, as we are on the ‘ Pensioners’ list! She is now our ‘ Mentor’ – keeping in
touch with us ‘Old Ones ‘ – Brenda, nearly 78 & her ‘ Toy Boy’ Malcolm –
only 75, later this year!! ‘Thanks’
The ‘ Councils’ cleaning team are now
working ‘flat-out’ – using over 85.000 litres of water & disinfectant every
day, around the village, yesterday afternoon they came down out street and
sanitized all the front of our houses and doorsteps! ‘ Thanks ‘
