GUADALMINA LA CASA DEL ABUELO.

MONDAY/TUESDAY 25TH/26TH/APRIL 2011

We got up to another glorious day over here at the villa in Guadalmina as you can see in the pictures above; after the gardener had arrived and a bit later the home help for Joan we shot out on some messages. We went across to Estepona and picked up Brenda’s watch from the jewellers and then went up into the old town and collected the two pictures that we have had framed, one for in the guest bedroom and one for the bathroom; on the way back we stopped at the “Tickatano ”beach restaurant to check it out as it has new owners, very nice but expensive ! We then called into the Marriott Resort, where we used to do some sales training courses, and arranged a day pass for this Saturday so as we take Tim and Thea out for dinner. This coming Sunday we have booked a table at the Beach House at Elviria,at Tim’s request, for a late Sunday lunch, also now Vidal’s brother Felix is the live music act and he is very good, we took Tim there when he was last staying with us ! We have our fingers crossed for the weather whilst they are here as Tim is a beach and sun worshipper ! I then made a Beef and Vegetable Stew for dinner which we had with Brenda’s famous Mash and Cabbage; at the same time Brenda made a Quorn Cottage Pie for Joan’s’ lunch today.

Today, Tuesday , it is now getting hotter by the hour and the forecast is starting to look good for the next few days but I'm afraid the seven day forecast is not good,sorry Tim and Thea for your stay ! Brenda is catching up with our washing and ironing so as we are ready to go home when Clive and Caroline arrive back sometime on Wednesday evening, we then have Thursday to get ready for the Moffatt’s arrival on Friday evening; the hire car is being dropped off on Friday morning and we will then pick them up at the airport in Malaga, we can’t wait ! This morning I shot down to the supermarket for some essentials and picked up Pork Cutlets for dinner tonight. We have been watching the TV every evening and catching up with various programmes that we have not seen as we only watch Spanish TV at home; Masterchef,Great British Menu, Britain’s Best Dish,NewTricks,Britain’s Got Talent, Live Sport to name just a few !

Thought for the Day;


In many cases, the more you try to complete, the less competitive you are.
