MANILVA TODAY.

MONDAY 3RD.MAY 2010.

At the start of last week we had a couple of days at home catching up with all the chores;Brenda is still in her cleaning and washing mode of everything and has just finished on the outside of the windows,no stepladders needed as she goes out on the balconies !! Meanwhile I caught up on the blog and sent some e-mails and updated our Facebook page as well as our Twitter contents.

On Wednesday we went out once again to try and catch the bus,this time at 11-ooam; success,it arrived and we went down to Sabinillas to pick up some essentials from the supermarket and then raced back across the road and caught the same bus back up the hill ! We then called into the cultural department in the old town hall in the main street of the village and a very helpfull lady called a person in the main town hall and they sent across by e-mail the new timetable which she printed out for us,success !


Thursday was a day to remember;as I went to turn on our large PC the screen did not come on,I tried many times and then realised that " Houston we have a problem " !! I called Andy our friend who is very computer literate and he came round and collected it,later he rang to say that the screen was finished and we needed a new one,everything else was ok.

On Friday morning we went to our bank in Estepona and on the way back picked up the weekend shopping; Andy came round in the early afternoon and 7 hours later was still here! He had loaded on to his memory stick all the Favorites and so he set about checking and cleaning up this PC and at the same time he installed and updated all the anti virus programmes before he then installed them,next he down loaded a system to be able to install some new programmes that were needed including Microsoft Office Word 7 for free ! Next he found the German web site that sells screens and soon found the one that we needed as I had kept all the Dell specifications when I ordered it,we then placed the order and with the usual German proficiency the order confirmation and the the Fedex tracking details arrived later in the evening by e-mail! Next he then updated all the other essential sites that I use including the Skype video and my new Life cam as well as resetting the memory for more power.
Andy you are a star and thank you for your time and attention !
