THURSDAY/FRIDAY
15th/16th NOVEMBER 2012 .
A day at
home was called for as it was a little overcast and cool; up on Called Mar the
council have started, and finished, putting up the Xmas lights – due to the
financial limitations that is it for this year as you can see in the pictures
below! So it was a washing, drying and ironing day for Brenda as I decamped to
the office on the WWW. After catching up I watched on the BBCIPlayer ‘ Later
with Jools’ with as usual a great mix of music including the excellent Ellie
Goulding with a ‘Helluva’ voice and Larry Graham playing ‘Funk Bass Guitar ’-
which he invented! A have finished the “50 Shades” trilogy and I have to say
that it has not lived up to all the hype; Brenda is off the same feeling and
especially the last book in the series which has a terrible( None ) ending –
not to give the plot away ! In the evening for supper we had ‘ Burgers al la
Sexton ’ – our butcher makes then daily with a choice of Pork. Chicken or Beef
– he also sells the sweet burger bap’s – Brenda had a Cheese Burger made with a
slice of Gouda, it is just right and melts a forms around the burger, with it
she had crisp Lettuce, sliced Beef Tomato, Gherkins and just cooked sliced
Onions – meanwhile I had my burger, no Cheese, with all the trimmings and a
fried Egg on top ! Of course we had crisp Spanish fries and Heinz Tomato
Ketchup !! The late film was a rather good, if violent, tale of Seal hunters
called “ The Sea Wolf ”from 2009 – with Tim Roth, Sebastian Koch, Stephen Campbell
Moore and Neve Campbell.
On Friday
morning we did the shopping down in Sabinillas and picked up the papers; we
called into the local market in the village for our fresh vegetables and
flowers, sadly the flower man was not there and on the way back to the house I
picked up some Steak a la Plancha from our butchers for Sunday evening as we
are out on Saturday. For supper we had for a change some Baked Salmon tail
fillets in a Provencale sauce with baby New Potatoes and Garden Peas. The late
film was “ The Devil’s Own ”from 1997 –is an IRA/USA action story with Brad
Pitt and Harrison Ford playing the parts of two Irish men, both with very hard
to understand accents ! One is the goodie and one is the baddie – watch it to
find out !
Thought for
the Day;
Success is
the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
