MANILVA MID WEEK

WEDNESDAY 24^th/ APRIL 2013

After a good nights sleep I was up and about after a lie in; the back is getting better, the tablets must be working and the nurse’s attention to applying the ointment in the right places helps! We sent a Facebook message early on to Jack over in Melbourne as it’s his birthday today –‘Good-on-ya Jack’!

Brenda went to our butchers and picked up some Pork Chops ( English Style) for tonight’s supper; she then took the dog for a walk around the bottom of the village,tomorror I will hopefully be able to go out with them and at the same time catch up with all the work projects going on. Pictures to follow.

I have finally caught up on the blog as you can see and at the same time checked out the WWW web,E-mails etc.The weather is staying fine, sun with a little cloud around but the temperature will be up to 23degs by Friday. As it is National Book week here in Spain we are back into reading in the afternoon;

Tonight we will watch if we can find it on one of the terrestrial channels the Real Madrid game from Germany, usually on a Wednesday it is only on the Pay-Channels ! If not I can always watch it on-line on the large PC in the office; then we will catch a film later. The late film after the football was a classic drama called"The Statement" from 2003 with Michael Caine playing the part of a French-Nazi collaborator who is helped by the Catholic church and other old French Vichy to hide over 40 years,based on the true story about Paul Touvier;Tilda Swinton and Jeremy Northam are hunting him,Charlotte Rampling is his wife and Allan Bates is mixed up in the cover up! Watch it - it is very good.

PS; Well I ended up in the office after dinner watching the game on the large PC with the Sky Sports Live coverage; Borussia Dortmund 4-1 - the German team have totally outplayed Real Madrid and the Polish striker Peter Lewandowski scored all four with the last one a penalty a master class in how to strike a penalty!!

GERMANY 8 SPAIN 1 OH DEAR!!

Thoughts for the Day;

Health and intellect are two blessings of life. Walking is the best possible exercise.  Health, the greatest of all blessings. It is exercise alone that supports the spirit, and keeps the mind in vigour.
