TUESDAY 21st/APRIL 2020. “
STATE OF ALARM – DAY 38 “
After freshening up we had our regular
fresh fruit (sliced Banana) toast and tea before getting another day on the go
in ‘ LOCKDOWN’
I then retired upstairs to the office/studio
to check out the ‘E-Mails, Facebook’ messages etc, then catching up with the
news on ‘BBC’ online news page, reading the ‘ Daily Mail’ online, the ‘El Pais’
– the main Spanish newspaper, translated into English, ‘ Algeciras TV ‘ for the
World news, the ‘ Councils’ news
page/update, as well as three local weather forecasts, then our ‘ Facebook’
page, for all the local gossip etc, all before typing/posting today’s Blog,
which each day I make a ‘ crib-sheet/list’ to work from.
PS; All the time listening to the three
local Radio Stations broadcasting the ‘ Lockdown Show’s from 8-00 am to noon,
which this morning I got the ‘ Mystery Person’ strait away, it was ‘ Paloma
Faith ‘ – the singer!
PPS; Now the excellent ‘ Country Classics ‘
with David Sibbald ‘ on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW '
Yesterday afternoon stayed dry & sunny
before in the evening when we had a severe/short
rain storm, overnight more storms as well as this morning, at the moment it’s
cloudy and overcast with the threat of more of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ to come back
later, only reaching 18 degs+ - overnight down to 13 degs+ - with a light
breeze, over the next two days the sunshine is due to return, then on Friday
and over the weekend it’s back to light to moderate showers, all the time
hovering in the high ‘ teens’ – next week is now looking a lot more settled and
dry, as the breeze drops, with sunshine on most days, a few patchy clouds at
times, hovering in the low 20s, up to 23 degs+ by next Wednesday, watch this
space.
“ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
Our dear friend Leah is calling at the
house at noon to collect our shopping list (long) for ‘Mercadona/Super Sol’ as
she is braving the weather, as she need her shopping as well,’ Thanks’!
She has just called and made our day, as
she has dropped off little ‘ Miss Bella’ with us, while she goes down to
Sabinillas for all the shopping, she is running around like a ‘mad-girl’ - full
of joy & love, as usual, of course she is being made a great fuss off!
Each day/evening we are following on our ‘Facebook’
page all the Music/ Signing videos being posted from around the World, with
some excellent collaborations of famous singers, as well as amateurs, on our ‘
Timeline’ page you can see a new ‘ Zoom’ Video of a Spanish group ‘ Celtas
Cortos ‘ – with friends – signing “ No Nos Podran Parar – They Can’t Stop Us “ - also we love the ‘ Dirty Dancing’ videos –
which bring back memories of my/our ‘ Dancing Days’ back in the past!
Meanwhile all the ‘ Council’ work force are
all the time, here in the village and all over the Manilva area still washing
down, sanitizing & humidifying all the streets and houses, weather
permitting.
When I next venture down to the ‘ Suma’
supermarket, carrying the shopping bags and of course ‘Masked/Gloved’ up, in front of the
‘Police/Fire’ stations, I’m going to call into the underground car park to ‘
turn-over’ the car, watch this space.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Pan-Seared
Lambs Liver ‘ – dusted in seasoned flour and ‘ flash-cooked’ on a very hot
griddle-plate, with seared ‘English’ Pork Sausages and crispy ‘ Spanish’ Smoked
Bacon, garnished with seared Button Mushrooms, accompanied with finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans and the rest of
the ‘Boulangere’ potatoes.
As usual, every day we are watching the TV,
following al the ‘ Quiz Shows’ – channel hopping all the time to find programmes
to watch, as well as catching the series that we follow, such as ' Our Girl' this evening, see below.
“
STAY SAFE & WELL INSIDE AT ALL THE TIME “
Thought for the Day; See above.
