SUNNY AND STILL WARM MANILVA AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 21st/ OCTOBER 2013.



Well we had a very nice supper last night with Gillian and Lillemor, I walked then back down towards the complex where they live, it was still warm and balmy after mid-night! So this morning we’ve had a little lie in before facing the clear-up, well Brenda is as I’ am as you can see upstairs in the office catching up on the WWW!

It certainly looks like this week going to be a little cooler with some of the wet stuff, then back to normal by the weekend; we are having our anti-flu jabs on Thursday lunchtime but have no other appointments or plans for the rest of the week so we are taking things easy, chilling out and relaxing – as per normal!

We have just come back from a good walk down to the 'Mirador' at the entrance to the village,on the way I called into the car park and moved the car,the free parking for locals is 72 hours,they don't seem to enforce it or have video camera's but just in case I move it to another space,this morning that meant the one next to it!We then sat on 'our' seat on the Mirador and took in the sights and sounds of a very sunny and hot Manilva - we think they should put a Brass plaque on the seat saying " The Sextons sat here from - "!!

After our tea and toast we have sorted out the menus for the week; this evening’s supper will be Cold Roast Loin of Pork with a fry-up of the leftover vegetables and potatoes, tomorrow we are having the Calves Liver with Smoked Bacon and English Pork sausages and a new ‘dish’ of sliced shallow fried in Virgin Olive Oil Potatoes which are then layered in a baking dish with Bacon sippets and a little stock and baked in the oven till crisp! Then on Wednesday its ‘Albondegas, Meatballs’ cooked in a rich Red Pepper and Tomato salsa with Spaghetti, Thursday meal will be Omelets of choice with chips before a ‘fishy ‘ Friday!

All last week we were able to go up on the roof terrace for our ‘Happy Hour’ but it looks like we will be using the chill-out room this week; as we are coming to the end of the ‘Patterson’ books we are going to change to ‘Jack Higgins’ – try one out and if we are into it we will then carry on as there are lots of them!

This evening after supper we will catch up with news and weather forecast on TVE1 then find something to watch.
