A OVERCAST BUT STILL WARM SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 22nd/ NOVEMBER 2014.



Well it’s a grey and overcast day here in sunny Manilva as forecast but the wind has dropped a little and the rain that is forecast for tomorrow is not as heavy, it’s still on the 22/23degs mark! We have a quiet weekend ahead as we have no guests in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ – next week we are busy as we have ‘Charlie’ with us for four days and ‘Reina’ for two days and no doubt ‘Scruffy’ as well – we are going for a ‘four- dog- day’ when ‘Chispa’ come calling! See the picture below taken by Brenda on her Mobile phone of 'Chispa' at lunchtime;



So this morning after breakfast I shot along to our local bank and then carried on down to the butchers for some ‘Braising Steak’ as for a change tomorrow I’m going to make “Braised Steak with Shallots, Onions, Mushrooms & Vegetables” for our ‘Sunday Special’ – Brenda is making some of her famous Mashed Potato and Cabbage with Alselgas to go with it! Comfort food to die for!!

Today we are having an at home day taking things easy, Brenda is catching up with all her chores, she tells me, meanwhile I’m up in the office keeping out of the way as I watch BBC TV 1 Breakfast News on the small PC before ‘Saturday Kitchen Live’ and at the same time type the Blog on the larger PC.

Later on both PCs I will try and watch the ‘Rugby Union Internationals’ as Wales welcome the New Zealand ‘All Blacks’ and England take on Samoa; back to football as in the ‘Premiere League’ Everton welcome West Brom,Manchester City play Swansea and tomorrow Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace. Meanwhile over here in ‘La Liga’ Barcelona welcome Seville and Real Madrid travel to Eibar.

The ‘Grand Prix’ season come to an end over in Abu Dhabi as Lewis Hamilton can become the ‘World  Champion’ by either winning or coming second as he’s 17 points clear at the top ahead of his teammate Rosberg – for this race only they have changed the points system, its 50 points for a win not 25!

This evening for supper we are having Grilled ‘Entrecote Steak’ with Sautéed Mushrooms and finely sliced Green Beans, a Baked Potato with a Mixed Salad on the side.

It will then be time to find something to watch after catching up with the world and national news, sports round up and the weather details for the week ahead, “Anniversary Week” here in sunny Manilva as a week today it’s our 43rd! – we are at the moment planning our outfits, Brenda has just gone down to the local fashion shop to she if she can find something as she has nothing to wear, she informs me!! She has just returned with an ‘Oufit’ after spending all our hard earned money!! We are going out to dinner at one of our old favorite restaurants over in Guadamina “ Restaurante Victor ”
