WEDNESDAY 22nd/JULY 2020. “ NEW
NORMALITY – DAY 31 “
No lie in this morning, after a quick freshen
up and toast & tea we shot off ‘ Masked’ up, down to the ‘Suma’ supermarket
to stock up with our essentials, I then picked Brenda up in the car and dropped
her back at the house to unload.
Before we left I managed to get the answer
to the ‘ Mystery Voice’ quiz on ‘ mix106fm’ – it was John Craven, OBE, from ‘
Newsround/Countyfile on BBC TV!
We than called Lyn over in Melbourne on the
‘Facebook’ messenger video link up, for a nice chat & catch up, as she is
back in lockdown in the State of Victoria, over in Australia, see map below;
She is fine & well, Annette & Deb
are looking after her, they have arranged ‘ Meals on Wheel’ if she needs it,
she is still walking the dog around the lake in the village, next week Deb is
taking her to hospital for a consultation re-her hip! “ Stay Safe & Well
Inside – At All Times “
NB; We have just received your beautiful birthday card, posted on the 05/06/20! This morning Brenda spoke to the new Post Lady at the Sub-Post-Office about your missing card - so we were very excited at lunchtime to find your card in our post box! " RESULT "
The sun was out first thing this morning
and the sky is cloudless and blue as there is a slight breeze, so by lunchtime
it’s going to be a ‘ Hot-One’ – reaching 30/31 degs+ - overnight only dropping
to 21/22 degs+ - tomorrow going even hotter, by Friday up into the mid 30s –
with very hot sunshine, as the breeze drops, over the weekend going just a
little cooler, as it pick up a little, next week it’s looking like we are in
for more of the same, at August approaches, with lots of hot sunshine, a few
patchy clouds at times and a light breeze, hovering in high 20s/low 30s all
week, the following week, as August arrives, over the next weekend, is going to
be a very ‘Hot-One’ Watch this space.
This weekend here in sunny Manilva it’s usually
one of the big religious festivals of the year, as the village celebrates the
patron saint of the village ‘ St. Anna ‘ – sadly this year, of course, there
will be no processions followed by singing, dancing & drinking, on Sunday
there will be a special Mass, followed by a’ quiet occasion’ taking place on
the ‘ Plaza Pozo Del Rey’ in the centre of the village!
For our supper this evening we are having
for a change ‘ Albondigas En Salsa ‘ - ‘Meatballs
finished in a rich Tomato, Onion/Shallot & Red Pimento Salsa! Served on a
bed of Spaghetti with some finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans on the side, tomorrow,
as usual on a Thursday, the ‘ Head Chef & Second Chef’ have been given the
night-off, so we are going out on the ‘ Town’ – watch this space.
NB; On Friday, it’s going to be another
change from our regular ‘ Fish Supper’ as I’m going to prepare/make my
version/recipe of the classic ‘ Restaurant Flambe’ dish of “ Scampi Provencale “
– served with Basmati Rice. Watch this
space.
“ STAY SAFE & WELL INSIDE AT ALL TIMES –
IN SELF LOCKDOWN HERE & MASKED “
