MANILVA THIS WEEKEND

SATURDAY 27^th/ APRIL 2013

It was a rather overcast day as we got up and did not clear up much as the day went on; I watched ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’and Brenda pottered about the house cleaning and scrubbing anything she could find! I kept out of the way in the office!!

In the afternoon I watched the early kick-off in England, Manchester City v West Ham, not very exciting – City won 2-0 with two good goals. Later Everton won 1-0 against Fulham. Meanwhile on TVE1 and TDP it was tennis,Nadel won and is in the final today in Barcelona v a Spanish player and at the same time Sharapova won and is in the final today against Li Na in Stuttgart.

PS; Nadel won the Barcelona Open for the 8th time and Sharapova won a 'Porsche'in Germany.

Here in Spain in the ‘ La Liga’ Real Madrid won 1-2 at Atl.Madrid but Barcelona could only manage a draw at Atl.Bilbao 2-2 The match of the day was over in England with the late kick-off at Newcastle v Liverpool – Liverpool won 0-6 and played some sublime football – why can’t they do it all the time? I have also been following the cycling as it starts to get interesting; over in Switzerland in the ‘Tour of Romandie’which finishes on Sunday Chris Froome is leading and should win.

PS; Froome had an easy win in Switzerland.

In the evening for supper we had ‘Steak a la Plancha’ with Sautéed Onions and Mushrooms, sliced Green Beans,crisp Chips and mine topped with a fried Egg! The late film that we had not seen before was “ Jennifer 8 ” from 1992 with Andy Garcia,Uma Thurman and John Malkovich – a murder mystery with a twist – Garcia is the cop,Uma is a blind music teacher and Malkovich is the FBI -  don’t miss the end and no Malkovich didn’t do it!!

Thoughts for the Day;

A person does not seek luck; luck seeks the person.  Luck is what you have left over after you give 100 percent.
