SUNNY AND DRY MANILVA AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND

FRIDAY 27^th/ SEPTEMBER 2013.

Well the rain has kept away for today but tomorrow it’s going to be wet! We went down to the local market first for some fresh flowers and so I could call into the surgery to make an appointment for a review of my prescriptions; then we went down to Sabinillas for the shopping, called into the bank and newsagents and finally to the English butchers in Duquesa Marina for some Gammon steaks and Pork Sausage’s.

After un-packing I took the car back to the underground car park and then went to our butchers in the village for our Saturday night steaks and some Chicken wings; as we were sorting ourselves out who came crashing in through the shutter’s ,like she had never been away, but Chispa as you can see in the picture above! We went down to Isobel’s to say hello to her and Paqui her daughter as they have been away down at their ‘Campo’ for three months!

We have just come back from a short walk around the village as you can see in the picture above where the final finishening work on ‘Plaza Pozo Del Rey’ is taking place and the roof of the Pergolas have been put on! Chispa is sat at my feet as I’ am typing this!!

Next I’ am going to make some’Ensaladilla Rusa’ after Brenda has got all the ingredients cooked and ready! Then for tonight’ supper I’ am going to get ready to make a “Fish/Seafood Risotto” with Hake, Cod and Salmon, Prawns, Crab and Smoked Salmon- Fish stock and White wine and garden Peas - to my own recipe! Watch this space!! See the picture above;

Mano and Anna called in after lunch so we had a good chat,gossip and moan as they have had their electric cut off,for no reason,they have paid the bill! So Anna is charging her phone here at ours ( Most Important) and tonight she is bringing some food up from their fridge,so we have invited them for supper on Sunday evening just in case!!

Over the weekend on the sports front it’s mainly Football and then on Sunday the cycling from the ‘World Road Race Championship’ in Florence; Over here in ‘La Liga’on Saturday it’s the big ‘Derby’ game between Real Madrid and Atl.Madrid and Barcelona are at Almeria; In England it’s Aston Villa v Manchester City, Sunderland v Liverpool and finally on Monday Everton v Newcastle.

Tonight after our Risotto we will find a film to watch.
