THURSDAY/FRIDAY 14TH/15TH APRIL 2011 .
Well after the excitement of the last two days we settled back into our life in sunny Manilva; In the morning after breakfast we went for a walk with Cheta around the village, it is warm and sunny with a little occasional breeze so it is just right for walking. The village is starting to get ready for the Semana Santa week, the no parking signs have just gone up for when the first parade takes place on Sunday and the council are out and about smartening things up including three new underground rubbish bins ! The Mayor, Antonia, is also out and about checking things and so I reminded her about the new flags on the Town Hall as she was stood on the steps! She promised that they are on their way – watch the space for the pictures!! In the afternoon Anna called in to catch up with any news and arrange the roast for Sunday – Chicken. In the evening after more Curry we settled down and watched the TV.
This morning,Friday,we went down to Sabinillas to do the shopping and pick up the English Costa papers then when we came back we walked around to the Friday market down by the sports ground for some flowers. Yesterday as we were out on our walk we came across workmen just starting to sort a new Mural to go up above the water feature on the way out of Calle Mar; it is very colourfull and we presume that it has been commissioned from a local designer, there is a name on the bottom right hand corner in the pictures below which I took yesterday, this morning and later this afternoon! Tonight we are having Fried Hake, Chips and Mushy Peas for dinner. At lunchtime we got on the phone to Tim over in Old Colwyn, he had just got in from the school – he retired today!! Tomorrow he is having a large retirement party at the local Golf Club for all his family and friends; he has posted on Facebook some music to celebrate, it is from a Jools Holland programme and features Prince Buster,Suggs and Georgie Fame singing “ Madness – Enjoy Yourself ” We have been singing and dancing along to it in the chill out room as we drank to Tim’s good health and retirement; Tim Moffat Rtd. We wish you all the best and are looking forward to seeing you and Thea two weeks today !!
Thought for the Day;
No one can be right all of the time, but it helps to be right most of the time.
