CRISP AND DRY IN SUNNY MANILVA AT THE START OF THE "CARNAVAL" WEEKEND;

FRIDAY 21st/ FEBRUARY 2014.



Overnight we had a little bit of rain but by the time we were out and about it had cleared up and we are back to normal; the forecast for over the weekend and into the start of next week is fine so that means that it will be dry and crisp for the ‘Carnaval’ parade tomorrow evening. Before it comes along Call Mar through the village we are going around to Josie’s apartment for a glass of Cava to start the evening in the right fashion!

So after breakfast this morning we shot down to the local market by the sports pavilion to pick up some fresh flowers; next it was down to Sabinillas for the shopping at the supermarket, then the bank and finally the papers; after unpacking I went around to the butchers and picked up our Saturday night ‘Steak a la Plancha’ – then when I got back I made some Tartar sauce for tonight’s supper, we are having, you guess,’Goujons’ of Hake fillet with Mushy peas and twice-cooked small diced square chips!

Just as I finished we heard the ‘Chi Chi Pom’ band coming up the next street; they were leading the very young children from the nursery school on their very own ‘Carnaval’ parade all dressed up in their costumes as you can see in the pictures above; we then carried on and went for a short walk down to the park where they have put some more plant pots!

Our dear friends Tim and Thea with Wes and Judith have arrived in Australia at Melbourne airport to one ‘Helluva’ fine welcome – six fire engines and making the headlines in the newspapers and TV – safe and sound and they have already see their first Kangaroos   Details to follow later.

Tonight we will catch a film to watch as its film night on all the channels so we have plenty of choice for a change.
