MONDAY 29th/ JUNE 2020. “ NEW NORMALITY – DAY 8 “
Just a little lie in this morning before
getting another week on the go, down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ in a very
sunny Manilva! After freshening up we had our regular light breakfast of fresh
fruit ( peeled/sliced Nectarines) with toast & tea.
As usual we were listening to the ‘
Lockdown Party’ show on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW “ as the
Mystery Vice’ quiz came on, it was the comedian Sarah Millican, a good start to
the week!
I then ‘ masked/gloved’ up and shot along
to the Bank in ‘ Calle Mar’ for some cash, Brenda then ‘ masked/gloved’ up and
went around to the local Monday market, in the centre of the village, on the ‘Plaza
Pozo del Rey’ for some fresh flowers and fruit and vegetables.
Now It’s ‘ Confession’ time! Yesterday
afternoon we had a ‘Facebook’ message from our dear friend Brian, asking us to
join him up at ‘Bar Rojas Sol Vida’ – at around 3-00 pm, he had been at ‘Bar
Castillo’ for his Paella lunch and expected to see us there, so we shot up and
joined him and his Swedish friend, Peter, sat in the very hot sunshine, under
their umbrellas, as the large/cool drinks arrived, more followed, we then moved
across the road to sit in the shade, as it was getting rather hot.
Some other friends came along, a little
later, and joined us, it was Lorraine ( Mace) – the World famous author thriller
writer ( The D. I. Sterling Series ) and her partner Chris, who live in the
village, more drinks arrived, as we brought the World to Rights!
The evening carried on, pass our ‘ Risotto’
time for supper, Brian was by then up to my ‘ Last-One’ for now mode, which
means ‘ More’ – so we decided to have our supper, Brenda had an excellent ‘
Tagliatelle Carbonara ‘ and I had the ‘ House ‘ Burger with Frits – as the
final ‘ night-cap’ arrived, we came home, down our street felling rather ‘
Happy’ and in need of a ‘ Siesta’ – except it was by then 11 00 pm – 8 HOURS later!!
‘ Dirty Stop Outs ‘ !!
This morning the sun was out early and the
sky is cloudless and bright blue, with a slight breeze, so by lunchtime it’s
due to reach 29 degs+ - overnight only dropping to 20/21 degs+ - the rest of
the week, is staying the same, at the start of July, going hotter each day, on Wednesday/Thursday,
when it’s going up to 34 degs+ - over the coming weekend a little cooler as the
breeze picks up, next week is looking like we are in for more of the same, very
hot and sunny all week, hovering in the high 20s/low 30s, watch this space.
So for our supper this evening it’s going
to be the ‘ Seafood Risotto’! The menu’s for the rest of the week are yet to be
agreed, watch this space.
“ STAY SAFE & WELL INSIDE AT ALL TIMES –
IN SELF LOCKDOWN HERE “
