COOL AND CLEAR IN SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 11h/ JANUARY 2014.

This morning we overslept as the village is so quiet, no deliveries, no street venders, no children or the ‘Maria’s’ out chatting – It’s cold and overcast but still dry over the weekend but into next week the wet stuff is on the horizon and the overall temperatures are going down to 14/15degs as an Atlantic front crosses us!

After our tea & toast I shot up to the office and tuned in to watch on the small PC “Saturday Morning Kitchen” with one of the old favorites Brian Turner cooking a ‘Rack of Venison’ – on the large PC I’ve checked out the WWW and I’ am now typing today’s Blog – as you can see!

We are having a quiet weekend by our standards with no guests for supper and no roast on Sunday; this evening we are back to good old ‘Steak & Chips’ with sautéed Mushrooms and Onions, finely sliced Green Beans and of course twice-cooked Chips – Brenda’s steak garnished with deep-fried Garlic buds and mine topped with a local ‘Campo’ fried Egg!

This afternoon it will be time for more football; over in the ‘Premiere League’ in England its Everton v Norwich and tomorrow Stoke v Liverpool and Newcastle v Manchester City while over here in ‘La Liga’ the ‘Match of the Day’ is the clash between the top two teams in ‘La Liga’ at the moment – Atletico Madrid at home to Barcelona! Tomorrow Real Madrid travel to Barcelona to play the second team of the city ‘Espanol’ ( Mano’s team )

Everton 2 - Norwich 0 - A certain person over in Pori,Finland is out celebrating in the snow!! Over here in an absorbing game it ended 0-0 so Barcelona are still top on goal difference  !!

Last night we channel hopped after the news and weather and found on one of the more obscure channels a programme narrated by Russell Crowe about various millionaires in Australia going under cover in the poorer parts of Sydney and Melbourne – it showed Australia in a totally different light!

Thought of the Day; See above.
