GREY AND OVERCAST SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY

THURSDAY 28th/ NOVEMBER 2013.



Well as you can see below we had a ‘Terremoto – Earthquake’ yesterday evening at about 11-00 pm down here in sunny Manilva! It measured 3;1 on the ‘Richter Scale’ and the epicenter was just of the coast – see map. No damage and the earth did not shake in our house as we were sat on the settee in the lounge! Lots of reports from down on the coast and on the outskirts on the village of tables and lights rattling and house’s shaking!! We will survive !

This morning as forecast it is colder( 15degs) and a little windy, grey and overcast but no sign of rain at the moment in sunny Manilva; the front has come in from the Mediterranean and is affecting only us down here on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ – the rest of Spain is sunny and dry!

Both the dogs are here in the house, Derrick is no bother and Chispa is her usual self, following Brenda around and full of the joys of ‘Autumn’ with the wind in tail; Brenda is pottering about catching up with the washing and ironing and as you can see I’ am up in the office on the WWW. Our maintenance man Joachim has just called in to fix the hot water in the kitchen sink, the usual problem with Manilva water ‘Cal’ in the pipes!

Last night we watched an American TV crime drama series called “ Person of Interest’ from 2011 about  a former CIA officer, Jim Caviezel recruited by a mysterious billionaire,Michael Emerson to prevent violent crime in New York with the help of ‘The Machine’ a mass surveillance computer system – watch it to find out what its all about!

Tonight for supper we are having ‘English cut Pork Chops’ baked in the oven with glazed Apple slices and my ‘Breton’ style potatoes – diced boiled potatoes tossed in hot butter with diced assorted Peppers,Onions,Celery & Leeks – Brenda is just getting ready the Cabbage with Acelgas( Swiss Chard) and Chopped Carrots & Baby Turnips.

It will then be time to fins something to watch on the TV, we do find other programmes to follow besides films, only yesterday we had a very interesting animal documentary on Black & White Rhinoceros !!
