TUESDAY 30th/ JUNE 2020. “ NEW
NORMALITY – DAY 9 “
Another little lie in this morning, before
we freshened up, at the same time
listening to the ‘ Lockdown Part’ show on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online
on the WWW” – the ‘ Mystery Voice’ quiz was easy this morning, it was Roger
Daltrey of ‘ The Who’!
I was on the breakfast rota this morning so
I had my favourite ‘ Toasted Crisp Smoked Bacon Butty’ – smothered in ‘ HP’
Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda, with her favourite sliced/seared Button
Mushrooms – tossed in the bacon juice with a knob of Butter, some of which ended
up in my Butty! Mugs of hot/strong Tea helped to wash them down.
After a very hot & sticky night, this
morning the sun broke through first thing, the sky is now cloudless and blue,
as there is still a very slight breeze, so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 29
degs+ again – down to just 21 degs+ during the night, tomorrow, at the start of
July, it’s going hotter, up to 33/34 degs+ - staying the same on Thursday, then
from Friday and over the coming weekend it will be a little cooler, as the
breeze picks up, next week is going to be another ‘ Hot-One’ – with lots of
very warm sunshine, clear blue skies and hovering in the high 20s/low 30s, all
week, watch this space.
Just a quick update on the football results
over the weekend; Manchester City won 0-2 and now play Arsenal in the
semi-final of the ‘FA Cup’ – over here Barcelona could only manage a draw 2-2 –
as Real Madrid won 0 -1 and went 2 points clear at the top of ‘La Liga’
This week Everton welcome Leicester and on Thursday
Manchester City ( the Old Champions) welcome Liverpool ( the New Champions!) Over
here, this evening Barcelona are at home to Atletico Madrid, who are on a
winning streak, while Real Madrid welcome Getafe! Watch this space.
Meanwhile here in sunny Manilva the ‘
Council’ continues to wash down all the streets, water all the plant pots/flowers,
at the same sanitising/disinfecting all the house/streets etc, as well as still
humidifying the main areas, maintaining the pavements, rubbish disposal, also
the work on the main road into the village is going at a quick pace, sadly all
the usual ‘Festivals/Religious Celebrations’ have been called off/cancelled, of
course!
For our supper this evening we are having
the rest of the ‘ Seafood’ Rirotto’ re-constituted with a little Fish Stock, adding
some Prawns, Mussels & Hake Fillet.
On Wednesday evening it’s going to be ‘
Chicken & Chips ‘ – we are now taking the ‘Menus’ one day at the time.
The ‘ IPTV’ system is at the moment back
online and working ( fingers crossed) so we are able to catch up with the ‘
Quiz Shows’ that we follow, as well as various series, last night we caught the
next episode of the excellent ‘ Broadchurch
‘ – it’s the repeat of Series 1.
The Football coverage is also back on, but
it’s hard to watch, with no crowds/fans in the stadiums, the added crowd noises
are not good, the matches seem more like practise games!
“ STAY SAFE & WELL INSIDE AT ALL TIMES –
IN SELF LOCKDOWN HERE “
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
