MANILVA AND GUADALMINA.

MONDAY/TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY 28TH/29TH/30TH MARCH 2011.






After the weekend celebrations Monday was a clear up day; I was put in charge of clearing up the confetti bomb as Brenda had a washing and ironing day before we set off to Guadalmina on Tuesday Lunchtime. On the Manilva Council Web Page I found the results of the International Seven a side on Sunday, Spain won after them beating England, Paraguay and Bolivia in the final! In the evening we had Cold Roast Beef with all the leftover vegetables and potatoes for supper.



Tuesday morning we made contact with Lyn over in Melbourne ,who had just arrived home from the hospital with Jack, he is feeling a lot better and Lyn says that he is getting back to his normal cheeky self – good news !

We then packed the Smart Car and headed over to Guadalmina Alta at lunchtime; the weather forecast is good with clear blue skies and warm sunshine, in fact today it is 24 degs and rising ! I dropped the folks off at the bus station in Marbella as they caught the shuttle to Malaga Airport. The villa is in fine form as you can see in the pictures below and we might even venture into the pool later in the week but I will have to skinny dip as I forgot to pack my shorts !



This morning we got up early and shot across to Estepona on a few messages, Brenda needed some cream from the good shop in the centre of town, we also found a watchmakers who could fix her watch, the winder has fallen off and finally we got lost in the old part of town until we found the picture framers as we had a couple of prints to get seen to;Estepona is our favorite spot on the coast and we love going into the town for all the shops and the old part is great to walk around; on the way back we picked up some essential shopping and are now settling down to have a snack lunch out on the terrace.Today,Wednesday is a quiet day at the villa with only the hairdresser in for Joan, tomorrow we have the gardener,cleaner,chirpropdist and home help due !





Thought for the Day;







Integrity is the essence of everything succesfull.
