A CRISP AND BEAUTIFUL DAY HERE IN SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 26th/ NOVEMBER 2014.




‘Charlie’ has settled in very well, last night he ate all his dinner and we went for three walks on his route down past the Police station and back around ‘the Plaza de la Vendima’ which meant that we found some new ‘Pine Trees’ around the electricity sub-station above the park for our Xmes decorations! He’s had a good sleep and we all got up this morning when the gas bottle delivery man called down our street - ‘Chispa’ has just called in and made friends again with him!

We will go for a walk a little later with both of the dogs as its another beautiful day here in sunny and warm Manilva but the bad news is that the rain is due to hit us tomorrow a day early and will be with us for a least a couple of days! We bumped into Mano & Anna in 'Bar Las Vinas' and joined then for a coffee,Mano and I had the Bacon Baps to keep us going,Mano is on holiday for two weeks so they are going to join us for supper one night next week,Anna has requested " Steak & Kidney Pie" ! See the picture below of Sabinillas beach this morning.




We have just come back from the chemists after picking up all our prescriptions/tablets; I also called into the ‘Tabac’ to put some credit on my phone using the 50% bonus!

Last night we watched the ‘Champions League’ football as Messi broke another record whem he scored a hat trick and became the leading goal scorer ever in the League as Barcelona won 0-4 but the ‘Match of the Day’ was when Manchester City beat 10 man Bayern Munich 3-2 after ‘Aguero’ scored a hat trick with two of the goals in the last five minutes! Tonight Liverpool travel to Ludo Razgd?! -while Real Madrid play FC Basel. Real won 0-1 and Liverpool drew 2-2.

Before our supper we went for a walk with'Charlie' and as we got to the police station we could her music,it turned out that it was coming from the 'School of Music' above,it was a 'Super Group' practicing a 'Beatles number, it was Mano's grandson Dylan singing with his four friends on drums,electric pianos and guitar - all under the age of ten! We gave then a round of applause from outside the studio! See the pictures below of 'Charlie' before we went out.





This evening for dinner we are having my famous “Sextons ‘Tower’ Burger” made with a fresh Beef Burger from our butchers, shredded Lettuce, a thick slice of local Beef Tomato, sliced Gherkins, sautéed Onions & Mushrooms, crispy Smoked Bacon with mine topped with a ‘Campo’ Fried Egg and Brenda’s as a ‘Cheese Burger’ with a slice of Gouda Cheese on her burger! On the side we are having a ‘Bucket’ of twice-cooked homemade Frits!! Our butcher makes three sorts of burgers, Beef, Pork and Chicken so I cook all three of them and then choose which to use and which one to keep for tomorrows lunch!! See the picture below.




Jane has called them " Malcolm's Massif " and Brian " Big Malc ! !!

After our supper we will settle down to watch the news,sport and weather details before finding something to watch on our 60 channels!

PS; The storm arrived early and 'Charlie and I were drowned as we dashed home with the lightening and thunder overhead!!
