A VERY HOT AND SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY;

THURSDAY 31^st/JULY 2014.

Yesterday by lunchtime the sun had broken through and the breeze as forecast dropped; by the afternoon is was very hot and in the evening it stayed warm and close which meant that we had a long and warm night ahead!

‘Scruffy’ has settled in very well and is eating all his food and drinking water, when he goes to the large bowl he puts one foot in and then drinks! We walk him four times a day, just short walks along Calle Mar and back so he has his spots to leave messages!( Bagged!) At night he prefers to sleep under our bed on the marble floor instead of in his executive bed.

This morning ‘Reina’ was dropped off for the day before she comes back tomorrow for her sleep-over weekend; they are no problem together now that they know one another, at the moment Reina is sat in my secretaries chair by the side of my desk as I’ am typing the Blog and ‘Scruffy’ is sat under my feet in his favorite spot!

We have just come back from a walk along Calle Mar on the shady side of the street; we sat on one of the benches and took in the sights, sounds and smells, the ‘Rotisserie Chicken’ shop was just starting up so we have ordered one for later!

At lunchtime we had a nice surprise as we had a call from Kathrin to say that she was on her way over to Manilva with her husband Bruno who we have not met and would we like to join them for a little late lunch; we ended up down at 'Bodegon Andaluz'where we had a very nice tapas lunch and drink looked after by Andreas - so we have had a good catch up and chat and are looking forward to seeing them again tomorrow evening.They brought their dog 'Alfie' along so we ended up with the three dogs sat under our feet ,all behaving very well!

This morning after breakfast I had a quick shave & shower, as I opened the shower curtains I had a little surprise; three dogs sat waiting to see me, not two as ‘Chispa’ had come calling, left to right in size - ‘Reina,Chispa & Scruffy’!!! “ Doggy World Heaven ” is open for business!

So today we are having a nice relaxing day at home catching up with the chores about the house, Brenda is pottering and I’ am up in the office taking in the WWW as you can see.This evening for supper it's 'Omelet's' as we are saving ourselves to tomorrow nights "Meat Extravaganza" with Claus & Doreen down at their villa with Bruno & Kathrin.

Last night after supper we had the choice of three films to watch; “ A Perfect Murder” from 1998 with Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow & Viggo Morteensen – “ What Lies Beneath ” from 2000 with Harrison Ford & Michelle Pfeiffer and “ Guilty As Sin ”from 1993 with Rebecca De Mornay & Don Johnson !!! You wait all week and then three come along - typical! We watched the first one and then the ends of the other two!! All murder's at the ends !!!
