WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 12^th/ APRIL 2014.

Just a little lie in this morning after a late night as we ended up watching a late programme after the film; the film was a strange story based on an actual event that happened on the Texas/Mexico border called “ The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada ” from 2005 and starring Tommy Lee Jones being himself Dwight Yoakam,Julio Cedillo, Barry Pepper and January Jones – as it finishened I happened to go to TVE1 and the final episode of “ The Tudors” from 2007 was just starting so we had to watch it! Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the King and Joely Richardson as the Queen starred in this final part of the history.

At the moment I’ am watching the on the smaller PC ‘BBC TVs’ – ‘The Breakfast Show’ before ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’ – live. Meanwhile the assistant chef is downstairs preparing the ingredients for a fresh batch of my famous ‘ Ensalidilla Rusa’- ‘Russian Salad’ which I’ am going to make later. Tonight we are having for supper after we come back from the official opening party of the ‘Plaza Pozo de Rey’ our normal Saturday night ‘Steak a la Plancha’ with sautéed mushrooms along with finely sliced Green Beans and twice-cooked ‘Frits’ One topped with a fried Campo Egg and the other with deep-fried Garlic buds!

It’s a busy sports weekend here, in England and over in the USA; the “ Americas Motor GP” in Austin Texas is tomorrow. In the ‘La Liga’ today its Granada v Barcelona and Real Madrid v Almeria and tomorrow Getafe v Atletico Madrid. Then in the ‘Premiere League’ today its Sunderland v Everton and then tomorrow it’s the ‘Match of the Season’ as Liverpool welcome Manchester City in what could be the deciding game as to who wins the championship! Everton won 1-0 and are now 4th in the league!

This evening Real Madrid won 4-0 but Barcelona lost at lowly Granada 0-1 - they played terrible including Messi for the second game in a row!!

Last night it was the Holy Mass in the Santa Ana Church followed by the presentations of the programmes and music for ‘Semana Santa 2014’ – we did not make it this year so the pictures above were taken by the Mayor Antonia and the council photographer – thanks! See Above.

Thought for the Day; See above.
