SUNDAY 7th/ MAY 2017. “ SPANISH MOTHERS DAY “
We had a little lie in this morning and
after a quick cup of tea & toast got the ‘ Sunday Roast’ preparation on the
go. ‘ Chispa’ has been calling in all over the weekend, up in ‘Calle Mar’ in
front of the Town Hall there is a small stage and the children’s bouncy castles
set up ready for the end of the ‘ Feria del Perro ‘ later.
See Below.
That's our street on the left of the building, you can also see ' Chispa' who followed me!

We have another glorious day down here on
the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – the sun is out, the sky is bright blue and there is no
breeze, it’s going to be a ‘ hot one’ today, 24 degs & rising, next week is
mixed, warm and sunny to start then the forecast is for some of the wet
stuff from Wednesday/Friday, before it
picks up again, over the weekend, back to normal for the time of the year, warm
and sunny, watch this space.
The ‘ Vegetable Chef’ has prepared ‘
Broccoli & Cauliflower Florets in a Three Cheese sauce ( Mild Cheddar, Gouda
& Parmesan ) – Cabbage with Acelgas ( Swiss Chard ) Glazed Carrot Batons
& Garden Peas, meanwhile the ‘ Head Chef ‘ was preparing ‘ Boulangere
Potatoes ‘ - Hand sliced ( 3 different
thickness’s) layers of seasoned Potatoes
& Onions, then topped with a rich Vegetable & Chicken stock, ready to
go in the oven, to bake this evening.
Before this I put the ‘ Leg of New Zealand,
South Island, Lamb’ – studded with Garlic Cloves & Rosemary, into roast in
a hot oven, resting on a bed of ‘ Trivets’ ( all the ends of the vegetables etc
) – then I made my famous ‘ finger licking ‘ Pan Gravy’ in the roasting tray,
using a strong Vegetable stock, seasoning and not forgetting the ‘ Gravy
Browning ‘!
Just a quick update on the football results
from yesterday; Manchester City won 5-0, Everton lost 1-0, over here in ‘La
Liga’ Barcelona won 4-1 & Real Madrid won 0-4 so no change at the top.
See below a picture from back in 1985 of us
on the Helipad at the “ Hotel Seventy
Degrees “ in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, with
Anneka Rice, when the ‘ Treasure Hunt ‘ programme was broadcast & filmed
from our hotel, happy days & memories.
This afternoon we are going up to ‘ Bar
Rojas ‘ for a nice cool drink, later Lee is joining us for supper, he’s going
to set up and install the new ‘ Amazon Fire TV Stick ‘ system onto our large
screen TV, with all the add-ons, he will then show me how to use the system,
watch this space.
