MANILVA THIS WEEK - SO FAR.

MONDAY/TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY 25TH/26TH/27TH 28TH OCTOBER 2010.


All this week the weather has been beautiful so we have been walking Cheta in the morning around the village; on Monday we had a quiet day at home catching up with things and taking it easy, in the evening we had cold Pork with then leftovers for supper.

On Tuesday as we came back from our walk Mano and Anna were outside Bar Rojas so we joined them for a quick one, then Carlos came along and shortly after Brian so it developed into a little session including plates of Lumy’s famous Patatas Fritas !In the afternoon the Blood Donation coach was outside the Town Hall and I tried again to give blood, but with no joy once again – it’s a technical thing to do with how many years you have been resident in Spain so next year I should be OK! See the picture below. While we were out we picked up a Chicken breast for dinner which I flattened and pan fried in foaming Balsamic butter with a baked potato on the side.

Wednesday was another glorious day down her on the Coasta Del Sol not like the rest of Spain which has high winds ,rain and snow ! Mano and Anna called in but there is still no definite news about them going away this weekend – Hasta Manana! In the evening for dinner we had Pork Cutlets in a Lemon butter sauce with Cabbage and Llyonaisse potatoes and then settled down to watch the TV after I had taken the rubbish up to the bins in Calle Mar; Brian and Liili where sat outside having supper and all ready on their third bottle of White wine as they celebrated getting engaged seven years ago – any excuse ! So we ended up having a couple of night caps with them,we then came back to the house and for the final one we made “ Caipirinha’s ”with a rather special bottle of high proof Cachaca, this time I used sugar !! They went off down the street feeling no pain, this morning they are both complaining; Brian has just called in to collect a bag of very large Mango’s that he left behind last night and Lilli has misplaced her purse and has not found it yet. PS; She has just rung to say that she has found it !!

This morning I’ve made a Chicken Curry for supper tonight, just as I finished Mano and Anna called in to update us on their news – which is still the same – they don’t know! Whilst he was here he fixed the new toilet seat upstairs. Tonight we are having a night in and watching the TV – promise !!

Thought for the Day;

It’s a great ability to be able to conceal one’s ability.
