MANILVA CALLE SAN VICENTE 1

Saturday 26th April.

Today was the hottest day so far but in the house it’s lovely and cool which bolds well for the summer months to come. Over the next few months there are also some Saints Days in the village and local area which we will get involved in including the Grape Festival when they crush the grapes in a large vat at the top of our street outside the Town Hall ! and also the Fisherman’s Festival is down on the sea front in Sabinillas.Brenda has been washing,drying and ironing all day so as next week is free to go out and about with Jane.In the meantime I have been in the office and have added more Radio and TV stations onto the PC and I have also been working on the ideas for my TV programme.One of the downloads is a side bar Google page that has allsorts of add-ons including 7 BBC radio stations.so I now listen to the BBC World service as I am sat at the desk ! In the afternoon we went up to the local bar and sat and watched the world go by as we drank Tinto de Verano’s before we had a supper of Steak and Frits and then watched the TV including the local Manilva TV station’s English spot – no problem to improve the presentation.

Sunday 27th April/

On a Sunday we have a lie in and then I cook a Brunch which is our one and only cooked breakfast of the week as we don’t eat till late- today we are having a Roast Lemon Chicken for supper with Fresh green beans,Over the past few weeks we have cut down on a lot of things and we have both lost some weight – Brenda has lost nearly 12lbs. and I have lost 9lbs.! We have also started to walk a lot more and going up and down the three floors also helps! Tomorrow in the morning I am picking up Jane from the airport in Malaga and in the afternoon they are dropping off the hire car at the Aparthotel and we are leaving the Smart car in the garage. I see that flights to Gibraltar are starting again in the next few months which is a lot closer to us and also very easy to use as is the Jerez airport.
