WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 16^th/ APRIL 2014.

A nice quiet day at home today as we have no plans, so far, the sun is out and it’s very pleasant so later we will go for a long walk with the dog around the village; we are picking up the shopping tomorrow as it’s a bank holiday on Friday. It is now officially hot as we went for our walk, they are just putting the sign up in the new passage way as you can see in the pictures above,down in the church they are starting to get ready for tomorrow nights procession of the statue of 'Jesus'

While we were out we called into the 'IT' shop for some inks for the printer,they also have some rather nice lady's fashion's on show; Brenda ended up with a new pair of dark blue jeans for 'Easter!' 

This means that its catch up time around the house and I’ am up in the office on the WWW reading the newspapers, updating the Blog,sending some E-Mails and adding some stuff onto Facebook; later we also catch up with some reading as we are now into the new books by ‘Lee Child’

Brenda has just been around to the chemists for some essentials including some cough mixture as she has a nasty dry cough; in the shop they reminded her that tonight it’s the final of the ‘Cope Del Rey( King’s Cup) – the Spanish FA Cup’ up in Valencia this year between Real Madrid and Barcelona – the two sons of the chemist Miguel are Real Madrid supporters so they sent me a message to say of course ‘Real’ to win!

Sadly they could be right as Barcelona if they play like they have in their last two games, including Messi have no chance!! It’s on TVE1 this evening and all the bars along Calle Mar, are all Real Madrid supporters especially Manuel up in ‘Bar Rojas’ – I think I will stay in and watch it!! 

Real Madrid won 1-2 with a Gareth Bale 'wonder goal !'

So this weekend we have ‘Scruffy’ staying with us for his ‘Easter Holiday’- on Sunday morning we are taking Josie and Den to the airport at Gibraltar then next Tuesday we are going across to Estepona so as I can get my haircut at the barber’s – it sounds like 2 inches is coming off! At the same time Brenda has a watch that needs repairing and also some essential toiletries and I’ am hoping to find a pair of new ‘Jesus’ sandals! We are also on Wednesday morning taking Lillemor’s friend Linda back to the bus station in Marbella as she flies home later to Sweden from Malaga airport.

Tonight’s ‘Light’ supper under the new regime is ‘ Minute Steak a la Plancha’ with a Baked potato and Mixed salad before we settle down to watch the football.

Last night after we returned from Marbella we watched the award winning film “ Good Will Hunting ”from 1997 with Matt Damon in the title role that he wrote the screenplay for with Ben Affleck( Oscar’s for both of them!) Robin Williams ( Oscar for Best Supporting Actor!) Minnie Driver,what happened to her? – and Stellen Skarsgard.

PS; The pictures above of the " Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway " were taken by a German Railway enthusiast over the weekend and show more trains that are now running ready for the Easter weekend !
