MANILVA TODAY.

MONDAY 28TH NOVEMBER 2011.

As we got up this morning the sun was out, the sky was blue and the forecast, especially for tomorrow, is looking good and more of the same later in the week, at this time of the year it is so nice to be able to go for our walks with Cheta, as you can see in the picture above, taken on Saturday, down at the sports ground the sky is just totally blue, we even took off our jumpers as it was so hot! Earlier today Mano and Anna called in to update us on their latest news; Mano has finished work for the next four months as the hotel is closing this winter, for the first time, and will not reopen until April when the first guests of the new year arrive; it means that we can now hopefully go out tomorrow for dinner with them on our ‘Ruby Wedding Anniversary’ we could not make any arrangements before until he found out his day off! We were married on a crisp sunny Monday-in November forty years ago.

We are pottering about the house today as tomorrow we are having the day off and are going to play-a little! Tonight we are having cold Chicken for supper with vegetables and Roast Potatoes and an early night to prepare for tomorrow’s celebrations. Brenda has just tried on her outfit for tomorrow evening, mine’s ready.She has also had the Foot-Spa on the go and is now painting her toe nails,I stopped typing this and had a go also,it is very relaxing as we sit in the chill out room with the doors and windows open taking in the sights,smells and sounds of Manilva !

I have just watched on the BBC IPlayer this weekend’s edition of ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen ’This weeks guest chefs were Rick Stein and the DJ Chris Evans? Rick Stein made Prawn Fritters with fried Spanish green Peppers and Aioli whilst Chris Evans had been to the best Italian chef in the country and he had shown him how to make Deep Fried sweet Ravioli! Both wines chosen were Spanish with the pudding wine, from the ‘Torres ’vineyard was an Orange flavored Muscatel!

Lastly the very sad news of the untimely death of Garry Speed, the Wales football manager, at the age of 42 was announced on Sunday morning; tributes are pouring in from across the sporting world, the flags are flying at half-mast at the Welsh Assembly building in Cardiff and supporters are leaving flowers, shirts and scarves outside the ground where he used to play; sadly he leaves behind his wife and two young sons, our thoughts go out to them and all his family at this time.

Thought for the Day;

Least we shall forget;
