A WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 25^th/ OCTOBER 2014.

This morning we had a little lie until the gas bottle delivery men came calling down our street; as we were having our breakfast ‘Chispa’ came in for her first visit of the day, she will call back later and then again this evening just as we are about to have supper!

Last night we spoke to Lilli after Brian had picked her up from the airport over in Malaga, she had already settled back into their apartment and taken the dogs for a walk and was down in Sabinillas on a night out! She is calling in later today for a chat and a good catch up and gossip.

I’m up in the office as you can see typing the Blog and at the same time watching ‘BBC TV Breakfast News’ before ‘Saturday Kitchen Live’ comes on. Meanwhile downstairs Brenda is getting the ingredients ready for a batch of my famous ‘Ensaladillia Rusa – Russian Salad’ which I will make later.

Tonight for supper we are having our usual ‘Entrecote Steak’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘Med-Rare’ with Sautéed Baby Mushrooms & Onions, Finley sliced Green Beans and of course twice-cooked Frits, not Chips, these are cut thinner by the vegetable department( Brenda!) Deep-fried Garlic Buds for Brenda and mine topped with a Campo Fried Egg! – Béarnaise sauce on the side!

Back to normal with the football this weekend over in the ‘Premiere League’ in England Liverpool welcome Hull. Manchester City travel to West Ham and then tomorrow Burnley welcome Everton. Over here there is only one game today and that’s the ‘El Clasico’ as Real Madrid welcome Barcelona at 5-00pm this evening! I will hopefully watch it upstairs in the office on the larger PC via my ‘IT’ Sports channel; for the first time since his ban and joining Barcelona Suarez plays along side Messi and Neymar! The ‘Motor GP’ this weekend is over at Sepang for the ‘Malaysian GP’

Sadly City lost 2-1 and Liverpool could only draw 0-0!

See the office in the picture below as I'm watching 'El Clasico' on the right in 'Portugese' and now English and the BBC Sports Text of the game on the left!  Real Madrid 3 - Barcelona 1 - oh dear!! 

After our fish supper we settled down to watch from start to finish the epic movie “ Tombstsone” from 1993 starring Kurt Russel & Val Kilmer with Sam Elliot,Bill Paxton,Power Booths,Michael Biehn, Dana Delany with Charlton Heston in a small part and the narrator is Robert Mitchum - strange to think that all the cowboys depicted in the film were actual people, in fact Wyatt Earp died in 1920 in his bed!
