MANILVA ON SUNDAY

SUNDAY 26^th/ MAY 2013.

We had a nice lie in this morning, which is a luxury that we enjoy more and more! After our tea and toast we got the Sunday Roast on the go, a rather large Chicken as you can see in the picture above! For a change I rubbed the Chicken with Lemon juice and filled the inside with all the Lemon bits, the stuffing is a mixed Herb and in another change we are having ‘Chunks’ of Tarragon Roast Potatoes cooked in Goose Fat; Brenda has all the usual vegetables and I have made a finger licking/coating pan gravy – Mano called at lunchtime to say that he is not having to work today after the wedding reception yesterday so he and Anna are joining us later for dinner.

We then freshened ourselves up and went for a walk with the dog; it is very hot today, if a little overcast as the breeze has dropped. This afternoon I have the Grand Prix from Monaco on downstairs on the TV in Spanish as there is no coverage on either BBC or ITV?! I’ am going to watch the last stage of the ‘Giro d’Italia’ on the large PC, from Riese to Brescia over 197kms with a sprint finish, which means Mark Cavendish, who is also in with a chance of winning the Red Jersey as the leading points winner; and the start of the French Open Tennis on the smaller PC – at the same time!

PS; The Monaco Grand Prix has just finished - Nico Rosberg is the winner.

PPS; Mark Cavendish has just won the Red Jersey at the leading points scorer so now he is going for his 5th sprint in this years tour on a very fast and dangerous circuit race around Brescia.

MARK CAVENDISH has just won the 21st stage through the narrow streets of Brescia in one of the most exciting stage finishes ever !!! I've lost my voice - Brenda has come down to check that I'am all right!! Oh yes,I nearly forgot, Vincenzo Nibali has won the race and the Pink Jersey.

Last night over in England the Boxing was very good as Carl Froch beat Mikkez Kessel over 12 rounds with a unanimous points win in IBF Super-middleweight fight and the Liverpool boxer Tony Bellow also won – I ‘am talking boxing as Anna is a bit of an  ‘Boxing Expert’so I have read up on last nights fights !

In the early evening Peter and Barbara called in and Peter fixed my mobile,I'am back on-line and all my 'Aps' working ! Thanks to both of them for their very kind attention !!

This evening we are looking forward to seeing Mano and Anna and catching up with all the news and gossip;

Thought for the Day;

Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
