A VERY HOT AND SUNNY MANILVA & MARBELLA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 8^th/ OCTOBER 2014.

We had plenty of time to get ourselves ready this morning as my appointment was not until 11-40am; we had our usual toast, tea and fresh fruit breakfast, I then walked down to collect the car from the underground car park and collected Brenda from the top of our street outside the Town Hall.

On the way through to the hospital past Marbella we called in Estepona and stopped at our bank so that Brenda could register/copy her passport details on file as required by a new law that the Government has just passed. The sun was out at the crack of dawn and by the time we came out of ‘La Canada’ at lunchtime it was very hot, 28/29degs and rising! The forecast is still the same but there is a possible bit of the wet stuff over the weekend?!

When we got to the ‘ Costa Del Sol Hospital’ we sorted Brenda’s appointment for her three month ‘Heart’ check up and at the same time registered out new Mobile numbers, we will hear from the hospital shortly. Next it was time to go along to see my ‘Prostrate Consultant’ You can tell everything is OK, staright away, as he’s smiling when you go in! My latest test results are fine and my reading is stable, this means that it’s a six month visit again and hopefully after that twelve monthly! Result !!

We then headed to ‘La Canada’ for some ‘retail therapy’! Our first port of call was ‘C & A’ where Brenda found some nice dark Grey slacks, while she was looking I picked up some more Boxer Shorts and spotted a brilliant Purple Shirt on the reduced rack – watch out for the picture, you won’t miss me! Next Brenda headed for ‘Mango’ one of her favorite shops and soon found a startling dark dark Blue top with Silver writing on it “ Overdress” - which just about sums it up!! See the picture above of sunny Marbella this morning.

So we are now back in a very warm and sunny Manilva after another expedition out down her on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ A celebration drink is called for later as we have our ‘Happy Hour’ up on the roof terrace listening to the radio.

Tonight’s supper is ready, it only has to go in the oven “ Braised Steak with Onions and Vegetables” We are having the rest of the ‘Breton’ style Potatoes and Brenda is going to prepare some fresh Cabbage with Alselgas. We will then watch the news,sport and weather updates before finding something to watch.

See the picture below - what Big Bri calls 'Proper Grub'!!
