A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY

SATURDAY 30^th/ NOVEMBER 2013.

We were up bright if not breezy this morning after last nights festivities; the weather today in sunny Manilva is spectacular, the sky is blue, no breeze and the sun is out as the temperature reaches 19 degs! Over the weekend it’s even getting hotter for the first day of December and into next week it’s also looking fine at the moment.

Both dogs are in good spirits and we went for a nice walk around the side of the village with the views across the valley to the mountains, in the distance they are snowcapped on the ‘Sierra Nevada’! The Mediterranean is sparking and there are yachts out on the calm sea.

I watched most of ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’ before Mano called in to pick up the papers; we had a good chat and gossip before he went home to go to bed; this weekend its mainly the football here and over in England that I will following, Everton at home to Stoke and then on Sunday Hull v Liverpool and Manchester City v Swansea while over here its Real Madrid v Real Valladolid and Athletic Club v Barcelona,

Everton won 4-0 so Big Bri will be a happy chappy and Real Madrid also won 4-0 with Gareth Bale scoring his first hat-trick for Real!

This afternoon on the large PC I will attempt to watch the horse racing from Newbury – it’s the “Hennessy Gold Cup” At the moment sadly no joy with finding coverage of the horse racing.

For supper this evening we are having my now classic ‘Steak au Poivre’ with finely sliced Green Beans and twice-cooked crisp chips! I smashed the whole Black pepper corns this morning with the rolling pin – a good way to get rid of any tension!

Brenda has just called me down as we have been watching the latest ‘La Voz’ with Anna’s friend from Lanzarote taking part, sadly Lydia did not make it past the semi-final stages, no matter she still has a ‘Helluva’ voice and has lots of work already booked!

After supper this evening we settle down to find a film to watch after catching all the high lights of the football both here and over in England; during the last few days we have been watching the John Wayne Cowboy season with the classic “ Hondo ”from 1953! With Geraldine Page and Ward Bond – also “ The Horse Soldiers ” from 1959! With William Holden and Constance Towers – they don’t make film like these any more!
