FRIDAY 24th/ APRIL 2020. “ STATE OF ALARM – DAY 41 “
As usual on a Friday morning the sound of
the goods delivery men sliding down the pallets to the local shop at the bottom
of our street got us up, after freshening up it was time for our breakfast, as
I was on the rota I had a ‘ Dockers Butty ‘ – a Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon
Butty’ – smothered in ‘HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda, with some of
her favourite sliced Button Mushrooms seared in the Bacon juices with a knob of
Butter, some of which made it into my Butty – with mugs of hot/strong ‘ PG ‘
Tips Tea – to set us up for the weekend ahead!

Last night as we getting ready to go to
bed, late, we had been watching a new episode of ‘ New Tricks ‘ on BBC TV 1 – I
noticed that Lyn was online over in Melbourne, Australia, so we called her on
the ‘Facebook’ messenger video link-up, it was 1-00 am here and over in
Melbourne 9-00 am!
She was up and pottering about so we had a
nice catch-up with all her news, she is very well and had a nice day out on
Thursday, with Annette and then Debs, out to the beach with the dog and a ‘
Fish N’ Chip’ lunch- then a meeting, before some shopping. We were going to
call today as it would have been, her beloved Jacks 92nd birthday. “ STAY SAFE & WELL INSIDE “
After breakfast I ‘ Masked/Gloved’ up and
shot along to the local Bank in ‘ Calle Mar’ for some cash, when I returned
Brenda ( Masked & Gloved ‘ went along to the ‘ Chemists’ for some
prescription tablets, giving us both the chance to stretch our legs, she then
called into the local shop at the bottom of our street, for today’s fresh
vegetables & fruit.
This morning has started a little grey
& overcast with lots of clouds, there is a light breeze, with the threat of
the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ in the air, so by lunchtime it’s forecast to reach 19 degs+ -
overnight down to 14 degs+ - over the weekend it’s staying the same, next week
is now not looking much better, with moderate rain showers, patchy clouds, light
breezes and sunshine on a couple of days, still hovering in the high ‘ teens’ –
by next weekend back up to 21/22 degs+ watch this space.
Over in North Wales last night ‘ Conwy
Castle’ was lit up in the rainbow colors, for the regular Thursday night
recognition of the ‘NHS’ at 8-00 pm!

“ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
From Sunday, children( 3 max) in Spain aged 14 and under will be able to go
out for walks between 9 am and 9pm, within a one-kilometer radius of their
homes, in the company of an adult/parent, with strict restrictions!
The ‘ Council ‘ are passing out new ‘Face
Masks ‘ on Monday morning up at the Town Hall at the top of our street in ‘Calle
Mar’ for all the older residents.
This morning I saw two of our neighbours
along in ‘Calle Mar’ – who have volunteered to work for the ‘ Councils Cleaning’
department , brushing the street and tidying up, before the lorries come along
to wash, disinfect and humidify the street, as usual. ‘ Thanks’
For our supper this evening we have changed
the menu, so no ‘ Fish N’ Chip’ supper – instead we are using up the last of ‘Mercadona’
prepared ‘Chicken Schnitzels’ – topped with
a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg, accompanied with lots of Lemon Wedges and the last of the
Baby New Potatoes – finished ‘ Rissolee ‘ style, with some sliced ‘ French ‘ Green
Beans.
On Saturday it’s our usual ‘ Steak Night’
and then on Sunday we are having a ‘ Roast Loin of Pork’ with all the
trimmings. Watch this space.
As usual every day we are watching the TV –
following all the series that we watch, as well as all the ‘ Quiz Shows’ and
lots of new programmes that I find when channel hopping!
This morning as I have been typing/posting
today’s Blog, I was listening to the ‘
Lockdown Party Show’ on the three local radio stations, and I got the new ‘
Mystery Voice’ correct, again, it was ‘ David Essex’ – who we saw in original
and first production of the award winning “ Evita “ in London, at the ‘Prince Edward
Theatre’ back in 1978, with Elaine Page, Joss Ackland, Mark Ryan & Siobhan
McCarthy.
“
STAY SAFE AND WELL INSIDE AT ALL TIMES “
