SUNNY AND A VERY HOT MANILVA AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 11^TH/ NOVEMBER 2013.

This morning after our breakfast we went across to Estepona to take the car to the ‘ITV – MOT’centre for its annual test; our appointment was at 11-15am and we went in at 11-05 and came out 10 minutes later with a ‘Pass’! You stay in the car and the two examiners take you through shouting the instructions, it’s very efficient and quick! Result!!

Today its very hot and sunny with no breeze in sunny Manilva, the forecast for the week is more of the same and tonight we will get a idea of the weekend’s weather; fingers crossed for next week as we now have two guests coming – Tim is brining his friend Wes who of course is also a golf fanatic, he is the Ex- Captain of ‘Old Colwyn Golf Club’ – Tim was out with him yesterday and when he heard that Tim was coming over he asked if he could join him! So Brenda is getting ready the second guest bedroom as I’ am typing this, we are looking forward to seeing them both next Monday – I’ am speaking to Tim over in Old Colwyn later this morning on the Skype video to confirm all the details - watch this space.

We will be up on the roof terrace sooner than later today to catch the warm sunshine and read our books before our ‘Happy Hour’ Andy phoned from England this morning to say that Maria has found another job this week so she is not going to Seville to see her family; we were taking her to the bus station tomorrow in San Pedro and picking her up on Saturday, not now, so it means that we have only to pick Andy up from the airport over in Malaga later on Saturday evening in his car.

For supper this evening we are having ‘Pork Schnitzels’ with crisp square chips and chopped Green Beans with a nice Tomato salad – we have a choice of three sauces- ‘ Charcutier,Au Poivre or Tomato ! We will then catch up with the news and weather and then watch the Final of the ‘ ATP World Tour’ tennis from the ’02 Arena’ in London between Nadel and Djokovic. Djokovic powered past Nadel to win 6-3 6-4 !

PS; ‘Charlie’ the African Grey parrot is now doing ‘dog barks’ like Chispa as well as his full repertoire!

Thought for the Day’ See above.
