Well,

I had my first breakfast nearly 3 hours ago now so I'm hungry again so I thought I would pop back in and see if there was any left !!

It does have it's advantages that so many of you are away - there is heaps left so I can make a 'piggy' of myself... yummm !!!!

It will be nice when you all come back though as it's a bit lonely in here.

Well what a day here !!!

Getting ready for first horse manure trip - bell chimes go - and two Danes are at my gate - asking for number of emergency doctor - his mother has completely lost the sight in one eye - told them that the doctor was in next village - and gave them instructions to whereabouts of surgery -

Oh then says should you have offered to go with them - so I run after them to offer - and anyway go with them - get to next village - see the Dr ( Luis) having a smoke outside surgery ( remember this is Spain) ask him to look - he says -no need -to examine - she need to go to hospital - now - it will be her retina - and offer me a ciggie

Now neither the son or mother (58 yrs) speak one word of Spanish - so I said go beck to my village - I will change and come with you -

So off we go - after seeing two eye specialists - they say her Retina has a hole in it - and fluid is going behind - !!!!

I ask if it is OK to leave until she flies back to Denmark on Saturday - and they say no - best to go to Granada hospital with their referral and results of exam - at 8.00am tomorrow morning

So at 6.45 am I go with them to Granada - the poor woman is rigid with fear

The Aunt of the woman s sons wife - is my friend - they have a house in the village - which they use for family - about 6-7 times a year - I keep an eye on the house - and use for my family and friends when they come visit me

And I have always said - if your family have a problem - tell them to come to me -

And today they had a problem and came

I have never felt so sorry for anyone in my entire life - can you imagine the fear - in a strange country with no language - She is a music teacher and she says if she loses her sight - she may not be able to work ------horrific

So will not be here tomorrow

OOOerr !!

Cooked a nice meal and I am half way down a £45 bottle of champagne !!

It was sitting in the fridge with it's twin sister and I thought 'what the heck' !! - I need the space in the fridge !!

SO - I opened it !!

Might be a bit late for breakfast in the morning !!

Oh Renes - You are SO good !!

In my job, over the past 12 years or so, I have escorted a great many people to hospital in Spain, all of them not knowing a word of Spanish and SO frightened.

Heart attacks, Angina, Liver failure, Head wounds, and the latest one I held her broken hip together in the ambulance while we drove at high speed with the 'bee bahs' going !!

I know just what it is like!!

The hospitals over there are BRILLIANT but I have to say, I was amazed when I went back to Barcelona in the middle of the night to pick up someone I had left there earlier with a head wound and dislocated shoulder - the receptionist was sitting there in her white uniform, smoking a cigarette !!

It is a different world !!

They are changing now though, whereas 3 years ago, every establishment was full of smoke, now they are, in the majority, non-smoking ! - They all have a sign outside saying 'Yes you can smoke' or 'No you can't smoke'

I really think that should be the case in the U.K. instead of banning smoking completely !!

Anyway - good luck tomorrow - hope all goes well.

Keep up the good work,

Just a thought though Renes!!

Retina problems do not take kindly to being 'jiggled about' !!

Take care if you are driving her - perhaps you should be looking into whether she should be taken by ambulance rather than you driving her ???

Oh Renes! That poor woman! Do hope it all goes well for her. So good of you to offer all that help.


Dea..........watch.........

I'll pop in and out
to see who's about.

It rhymes.


Dear me, all that champers is taking its toll on you. A nice lie down is recommended....lol


So, if Renes goes tomorrow.................it's over to thee and me and FBG - if she has been allowed out of that museum of course!!

Dea

Dea Report 8 Sep 2010 20:43

Well it 'sort of rhymes' Cynths but I KNOW you can do better !!!!!!!

Anyway, yes - Renes will be busy tomorrow so, yes, just 'thee and me', as my dad would say !!

LOTS of breakfast for us then - I bet I beat you to it !!

I have about £10's worth of Champagne left so I will share it with you then !!!

The bubbles will be gone by then Dea,let Cyn have it now silly.

I have something for Cyn.....>>>>SLAP

That is for this

.it's over to thee and me and FBG - if she has been allowed out of that museum of course!!

Dea

Dea Report 8 Sep 2010 21:14

The bubbles will certainly NOT have gone Fans,

I will have you know that I am something of an expert on Champagne and Cava (the Spanish equivalent) and I have a special 'bubble keeper inner' which will make sure that it is just as good tomorrow !!

If you are back, I may have to open my last bottle in the morning so we can all share it !!

Roberts breakfast for tomorrow will be (as promised), :


Thursday
Cinnamon rolls
Eggs (fried, boiled, poached, scrambled or in omelette
Hash browns
Streaky bacon

I would like my eggs fried on both sides please Robert and the bacn first fried and then grilled to crisp perfection - just as the experts do it for maximum flavour and maximum crispness !!.... YYYuuummm !!!

Many thanks,

Dea Xxx
