WEDNESDAY
18th/JUNE 2014.
We were up
bright and early this morning and after a quick breakfast I went and brought
the car up to pick Brenda up and go around to the surgery for our appointments;
our Doctor, Maria was back so we had a good catch-up, check over and
prescription update.
Now this is
where things have started to go all wrong! I sent a confirmation E-Mail to
Josie to say that we are picking her up at 11-15am on Thursday morning – the
quick reply from Josie said its 11-15pm!! On checking her original E-Mail I’ve
totally miss read it – it clearly says 11-15pm – I must be getting old/senile –
it’s the same for Den a week on Saturday –same time, same place!
What this
means is that we will have to cancel our ‘Surprise’ supper tomorrow night when
Gillian was also joining us to welcome the “ Queen of Skelton” to her
palace/residence for her annual summer vacation! We will make up for it on
Sunday when I’ve booked a table for ‘Brenda’s Birthday’ lunch to go to ‘Venta
Garcia’ with Josie & Gillian!
It also
means that we have changed the menu’s over the next couple of days, tonight we
are having cold ‘York Ham’ with fried ‘Campo’ Eggs and twice-cooked ‘Frits’- then
on Thursday before we go to pick Josie up from the bus station over in Marbella
( At 11-15pm!) we are having ‘Omelets’
We had
planned to go to ‘Leroy Merlin’ before picking Josie tomorrow morning so
instead we went this morning after calling into the bank in Sabinillas – we had
a very helpful assistant who pointed us in the right direction and we have
selected and ordered the new shutters/blinds for the front door, at no great
expense, they will be ready in two weeks time – they are going up on the inside
of door entrance. See the pictures above.
This week
in the village the cultural department have arranged two music concerts; last
night in the Theater it was the turn of the children and then on Friday evening
it’s the live groups and singing on the open-air terrace by the Music School
On Saturday
lunchtime the ‘ Manilva IV Classic Car Rally’ is starting in ‘ Castillo
Duquesa’ then coming up to the village and parking/displaying the cars on the ‘Plaza
de la Vandemia’ before going back down to Sabinillas; then next Monday its “
Notche de San Juan” – the ‘Fire Festival’ – the second biggest festival of the
year down on the beach in Sabinillas - after the ‘Vendimia’
NB; Some of the Mosiac Tiles have come down on the main wall in the park - see the picture above.

This week
the Council have announced that there are plans for a new Cultural Centre in
Calle Botica in the derelict ‘Casa de los Torres’ building – it will provide a
museum and exhibition gallery as well as areas for social use – its one of the
oldest buildings in the village and is just around the corner at the bottom of
our street!
Scruffy is
back with us for the afternoon. he was dropped off by Rose just after Mano and
Anna called in for a chat and gossip, Mano is still under treatment with Victor
the dentist so we have not been able to go down to Sabinillas yet to sort out
the new mobiles.
“ A ball of fluff appeared one day.Where it
came from – who can say? It rolled around the kitchen floor. And stopped by the
cupboard door. Two ears appeared,a nose and eyes, four paws – and then to our
surprise, The little ball of fluff and stuff said ‘I’ve arrived with Lots of
Woof!” Scruffy has arrived !!
This
