TUESDAY 5th/ MAY 2020. “
STATE OF ALARM- DAY 52 “
After freshening up a little later than
normal, as Brenda didn’t have a good night’s sleep, so I left her in bed for a
lie in, we then had our regular light breakfast of fresh fruit ( sliced Banana
& Apricot for Brenda) with toast and tea to start another beautiful day
down here on the Costa Del Sol and especially in a very sunny Manilva.
As I said we have yet another glorious hot
day here in sunny Manilva, the sky is bright blue and cloudless and there is a
light breeze, so it’s ‘ fresh’ – with sunshine, all day, by lunchtime it’s
forecast to reach 28 degs+ again – overnight only dropping to 16/17 degs+ - the
perfect time of the year before it gets too hot, in June, July & August, it
must be time to get all the fans out, a small one in the kitchen, a large one
in the lounge, a tall stack one in the bedroom and a small stack in the
office/studio! ‘Be Prepared’
Tomorrow it’s going to be the same, then on
Thursday and over the weekend it’s going a little cooler, as a new ‘ Atlantic’
front comes in, with the breeze picking up a little, but still hovering in the
low 20s, with a few patchy clouds hanging around, next week, at the moment, is
looking a little unsettled, with the chance of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ returning, at
the same time going down to the low 20s, but still with sunshine on most of the
days, watch this space.
See below a few pictures taken this
morning, showing some of the may mosaic decorative benches around sunny Manilva
& Sabinillas!
“ CORANAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
The main news today is that the ‘Covid 19’
figures, just published by the ‘ Junta de Andalucia’ shows that here in sunny
Manilva we only have had ‘3 POSITIVES’ recorded to far! “ RESULT’ - for all the
hard work, by the local Council, the Mayer Mario and all the workers, as well
as ‘ pat on the back ‘ for all of us in the most severe ‘ LOCKDOWN’ in Europe!
One slight problem is that tomorrow in the
Spanish ‘Congress – Parliament’ up in Madrid, the minority coalition
government, led by Pedro Sanchez, faces politicians from all the opposition
parties, who are going to vote against extending the ‘ State of Alarm’ past
Sunday 10th May, for another 15 days “ TOTAL MADNESS “ – Politics at it’s worst,
watch this space.
Every morning as I’m up in the
office/studio typing/posting today’s Blog, Brenda is going out for her walk,
around the bottom of the village, in the over ‘70s’ time slot – 10 00 am to 12
noon, as usual ‘ masked/gloved’ up, this
morning she met Mano & Anna, who were out taking advantage also, when I
went along to the local Bank yesterday I saw them outside the ‘Tabac’s &
Chemists’ – for the first time in a very long while.
This evening for our supper we are having ‘Grilled
Gammon Steaks’ – cooked on a very hot griddle-plate – garnished with seared
Button Mushrooms and glazed/seared Pineapple Rings and topped with a ‘ Campo’
Fried Egg! Served with Garden Peas and of course triple-cooked ‘ Chips’ – not forgetting
the ‘HP’ Brown sauce on the side!
As usual we are watching a lot of TV, at
the moment, following all the ‘ Quiz Shows’ – last night it was the final of ‘
Mastermind’ – on Sunday evening the next very exciting episode of ‘Killing Eve’
– as well as lots of old sports clips
etc, all the time listening to in the regular mornings/lunchtime ‘Lockdown Party’ show on ‘Castle Radio FM 89.2
& Online on the WWW’ as well as the ‘ County & Western’ show today,
this morning I was the first person to give the correct answer to the ‘Mystery
Voice’ Quiz, it was ‘ Francis Rossi’ from ‘Status Quo’! I also got the ‘ Music
Quiz’ correct again, it was ‘The Jacksons’ with ‘I Want You Back’!!
“ STAY SAFE & WELL INSIDE AT ALL TIMES
AND WHEN OUT KEEP YOUR DISTANCE WITH YOUR MASKS & GLOVES ON “
