Day & Night Mallorca Style

Morning on another glorious sunny day here in Mallorca but nothing interesting to report over my weekend so today I am going to recommend a  few things I like. Blue my weimy is all repaired he recovered very quickly and we had an amazing walk this morning just me and Blue and a herd of wild goats was great !!! Yesterday I had Sunday lunch at Max's Bistro my roast dinner fav with a girlfriend who I bought a Amazon Kindle from well  I quite like it its weight is very light but the keyboard is a bit fiddlerly but not sure I would like to read a book on it I like to be able to touch and feel the book and turn the pages?? so watch this space, I really bought it for Paul my hubby who travels so I think he will prefer it we will see. I have a list of books that I have just received from Amazon and don't know which one to read first :

JACKIE COLLINS   -   GODDESS OF VENGEANCE

Love her books but seriously love the character Lucky Santangelo so for this reason I have to read this next book in her life so watch this space, she says Lucky Santangelo is back with a vengeance in a novel full of power,passion,revenge and the raging family dynamics of the Santangelo clan.

DAVID MICHELL   -   CLOUD ATLAS

This is a friends recommendation, as I have read about the film of the same being made here in Mallorca this September 2011 with TOM HANKS and HALLE BERRY and a few other big star names. so I wanted to read before the film comes out its about a mans travel diary I think in the Pacific so don't know why they choose here to film ?? we will wait and see how that turns out I was told its a bit slow but to stick with it so will try.

GEORGE R.R. MARTIN - A DANCE WITH DRAGONS

Now I think I am going to read this first as a huge book which took him 6 years to write his the writer of Games of Thrones which was a new TV series on Sky Living which was I think fantastic !! so has got me in the mood to read the books which are many but I think will be easy to read as I loved it so much so I am excited about the series. Its George Martins fifth volume its about Daenersys last scion of House Targaryen, her dragons have grown terrifying big and she rules as queen of the city on dust and death beset by enemies. Once I have read this I might read the rest.

I am also reading BYZANTIUM by JOHN JULIUS NORWICH  The Decline and Fall, another recommendation which is slow going but I am reading it in chapters, but I am enjoying the history of poor old Constaniople's fall.

Days & Nights Mallorca Style

POOR BLUE 

What a day today, this morning my poor Weimarner Blue had a accident while walking up the mountain for his daily walk, don't know how he did it but bent back his dewclaw so I was in a bit of a panic coming back down as it looked bad, as surprisingly their was lots of blood, but Blue didn't seem to be bothered by it as always, anyway I drove back down and went straight to my vet Nick and he said that he would have to be sedated before he could cut it back, and it was still attached firmly and if he cut it like that Blue would never step into the vets again !!! so I leave my poor boy who didn't have a clue what was going on as he loves going there and loves Nick. In half hour I got the call to collect him all bandaged up and repaired, he was funny all woozy from the gas and injection. Its  been a quite day as Blue has slept most of the day bless him with the odd dream or two and keeps crying alot. His had a good nibble at the  bandage which is now covered with a sock and he looks so funny. So no long walk tonight but will try to take him for a walk downstairs on the beach on the soft sand later.

Today was a day of happiness, door bell rings ding dong "Bonjourno Senora Farmer" said the UPS man standing their was a rather large box from Italy?? Surprise well could't wait to open it, to find my hubby bought me a beautiful Rolex watch Mille Grazie Mr Farmer very thoughtful
                                                            

 I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH

DAYS & NIGHTS IN MALLORCA

BOOK RECOMMENDATION OF THE WEEK




DEATH,MAGIC AND HOW TO MAKE PIZZA  author Adrian Stride

Product Description

Adam was in a bit of trouble, in the same way as Atlantis had a bit of rising damp. A sword wielding She-Goblin had a crush on him. A pack of Were-Thylacines were hunting him down. Victor the Nosferatu wanted to know the secrets of pizza, Oscar the Wise, Wizard extraordinaire and all round nice guy (description supplied by the author of his new autobiography), wanted him dead and his skin put on display. The survival of the human race depended on him and he had lost his shoe.


Questions asked and answered in this book include:
What does a Demon order at the bar?
The mating habits of Goblins. (Mating habits are available from the gift shop)
And the truth behind Dragons. (Not in front of them)
This book is not a travel guide to the under world kingdom of Imbala and the author does not accept any responsibility for the death, mutilation, disfigurement and or transmutation of its readers, whilst visiting Imbala or any other magical kingdoms, real or imaginary.


This book is suitable for all ages, beings and teenagers. Please dispose responsibly after digestion.

WINE RECOMMENDATION OF THE WEEK

    

I have a passion for wine and have started to collect again, have a few French but I am concentrating on Spanish & Mallorcan wines, because their are so many good ones to try especially here in Mallorca  so at least every week I am going to recommend a good vino for you to buy and try.

BODEGAS EL NIDO EL NIDO  2008   RP (ROBERT PARKER) 96 POINTS  PRICE 35 EUROS

Big, oaky at mouthful of fruits like a fruit bomb. After a couple hours in the decanter its amazing.

"The 2008 El Nido is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Monastrell also aged for 24 months in new French and American oak. It gives up a bit more aromatic complexity with ramped up concentration and volume. In the glass, notes of blueberry, blackberry, exotic spices, and pepper lead to a plush, silky, 60-second finish. Give this behemoth 6-8 years to become civilized and drink the Clio cuvee while you are waiting." 

DAY & NIGHT  MALLORCA STYLE 

Another beautiful,warm,sunny day here on the island of Mallorca  Izzy and I went to our favourite Italian restaurant called MAGARI which is 

on the Paseo Maritimo, the food is spot on cooked the way I love pasta and Italian food they have a menu del dia Monday to Friday for 12.50euros which to non spanish people means a three course meal choices in a starter,main & desert its excellent value and quality is high, but today we only just wanted a quick pasta before we hits the shops so linguine with a tomatoe sauce made for me and Izzy had  penne arrabiarta, then off to the big shop in town called El Cortes Ingles. So we arrived home at 6 o'clock and Blue was waiting patiently on the terrace for his walk so with a quick turn around we went off to meet our friend Demetri and his chocolate labarador Marley for another great two hour walk up and down that beautiful mountain in glorious sunshine and today on the way back we bumped into our new doggie friend Elvis an american staffordshire who likes to  hump every dog he meets LOL which Blue was not happy about and also there was no way he was going to take his stick from him which was very amusing to watch, the first time Blue ever defended himself.
