THURSDAY 14th/ MAY 2020. “ STATE OF ALARM – DAY 61 “
We had a nice lie in this morning after, by
our standards, a rather surprise and happy day, yesterday, with good news from
Leah ( more later ) and a long ‘ Facebook’ video link up with a very old family
friend from my past, then this morning we have had a ‘ Great News’ message ( to be revealed at a later date) from Sandra & Bill over in a very cold (
frosty) Everett, Ontario, Canada!
After freshening up as I was on the
breakfast rota, yes you have guessed, I had my favourite ‘ Dockers Butty ‘ (
thick White Bread ) a ‘Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty ‘ – smothered in ‘HP’
Brown sauce – open on Brown Bread for Brenda – with her favourite,
sliced/seared Button Mushrooms – tossed in the Bacon juices with a knob of
Butter, with mugs of steaming ‘ PG Tips’ Tea to get us going on a very damp,
wet and overcast day here in a not very sunny Manilva!
As usual we have been listening to the ‘
Lockdown Party’ show on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’ - as the ‘ Mystery Voice ‘ Quiz came on, this
morning I got it straight away, it was ‘Emily Maltlis’ off BBC 2s ‘ Newsnight’ –
yesterday it was ‘William Hague’ – the Conservative politician and now ‘ Baron
Hague of Richmond’ ( Yorkshire)
Yesterday the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ as forecast hit
us later in the afternoon, with a heavy cloud burst , with thunder and
lightening, followed by showers, all night, this morning has started grey &
overcast, with more rain and a stiff breeze, so by lunchtime it’s only going to
reach 19 degs+ - overnight down to 13 degs+ - staying wet & windy up to and
including Sunday, but going a little warmer as the breeze drops, hovering in
the low 20s+ – next week, starting on Monday, when it’s forecast to go up to
25/26 degs+ when we are in for a warm
& sunny week, with lots of sunshine and blue skies, with just a few patchy
clouds at times, with a lighter breeze also, watch this space.
Yesterday evening we caught up with Leah,
after she came home from work in Gibraltar, she was very excited as she has found
a two-bedroom apartment in the prestigious “ Majestic Ocean Plaza “ overlooking
the Bay of Gibraltar, for herself and her son Deemy, with views of the ‘ Ocean
Village’ complex, it also has a swimming pool complex, she had negotiated a
good deal and could be moving over this coming weekend/next week! We are very
happy for her, it’s well deserved, for a very nice person! Of course we are
going to miss her help with our main shopping and especially little’ Miss Bella’ not being with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’
See below;
PS; At lunchtime we shot down ' masked/gloved' up to the new supermarket 'Suma' - in between the rain showers, to stock the Wine Racks and Spirit Cupboard!
“ CORANAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “
Still all very quiet today, with at the
moment no more news to report, as the ‘ National Government’ up in Madrid is
due to discuss all the ‘LOCKDOWN’ rules etc, as it continues up to May 28th
– when they will need another vote in
the ‘Congress – Parliament ‘ to extend it further, most importantly reviewing
the ‘ Phase O & Phase 1 ‘ arrangements, especially for us, here in the
Malaga province of Andalucia! - as we are still under the most severe ‘Lockdown’
in Europe, which we don’t mind! Watch
this space.
For our supper this evening we are having a
‘ Choice of Omelettes’ – Brenda is having her favourite ‘two cheeses’ and I
will be having a ‘ Paysanne ‘ style ( small diced Shallots, Smoked Bacon, Potatoes
& Vegetables) – accompanied with finely sliced ‘French’ Green Beans and a
Baked Potato.
“
STAY SAFE AND WELL INSIDE AT ALL TIMES “
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
