SUNNY AND HOT MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF A HELLUVA WEEK;

MONDAY 23rd/ SEPTEMBER 2013.



This morning we were up bright and early as we were going across to Estepona; today the weather is gorgeous with the hot sun beating down and a little light breeze, temperature’s reaching 29/30degs! with more to come later in the week.

We first called into our bank and then dropped down into the underground car park along the front; our first port of call was the very popular and efficient cafĂ© for our morning ‘Tostado’ Brenda has Olive Oil and Tomato concasse and I have butter and jam with our tea & coffee.

Brenda went off for her cosmetics and I stopped at Manuel the barber for a shave, shampoo and cut with face and neck massage! We met up a little later in the centre of the town and Brenda said that she had spotted a new ladies fashion shop, it turned out that it had just opened this morning and was already doing a roaring business with the ladies of Estepona! Brenda joined in and ended up with a new hand/shoulder bag which was a bargain, so she says!

We called into the ‘Carrefour Hypermarket’ our old stomping ground just for a look round and soon noticed that all the prices are a little dearer than in our local supermarkets in Sabinillas! On the way back I topped up the car with petrol ready for the next couple of days; its not going as good as it used too, in fact its about 20kms slower and I have to drive in the inside lane which on the roads down here is the most dangerous spot as the traffic joining from your right don’t stop or indicate as they pull out, they expect you to pull over to the outside lane no matter what is coming along behind you!! Grrrrrrrrrr !!

We are having a lazy day at home doing nothing as the next few days we are out and about down here on the ‘Costa del Sol’ enjoying ourselves and playing! We will be up on the roof terrace this afternoon for our usual session and then tonight for supper we are having English Pork Sausages with Heinz Baked Beans, Fried Egg and crisp chips ( Don’t forget the HP sauce) – you could say from the ‘Sublime to the Ridiculous’ after last night ‘Steak Diane!’ which was rather delicious.


Thought for the Day; See above.
