A DAMP AND OVERCAST WEDNESDAY IN SUNNY MANILVA;

WEDNESDAY 3^rd /DECEMBER 2014.

We all had a little lie in this morning including ‘Scruffy’ who sleeps very well and is no bother, he jumps on the bed when he’s ready to go out! The only problem was that it’s raining, the forecast changed last night as a surprise front came in from the Mediterranean for a change, so we both took him out for is first walk of the day and I carried on down to the butchers and Brenda shot back to the house. We are then back to normal on Thursday and over the weekend with sunshine and clear skies but a little cooler – 18/19degs.

At the butchers I bought two English-cut ‘Pork Chops’ ( gone in the deep freeze) for our Sunday night supper and some of his own Herb & Wine marinated ‘Chicken Wings’ for tomorrow night’s supper; so tonight we are having for a change ‘Brochettes of Marinated Pork’- I also bought his ready diced Pork this morning; I’m going to prepare them later with sliced Onion, Smoked Bacon, Mushrooms and Red & Green Peppers, we will have them served on a bed of Basmati Rice with diamond cut Green Broad Beans and a sauce boat of my famous Tomato Salsa on the side! See below - ready for tonight!

And the finished meal!

So it looks like an at home today so Brenda is starting to find things that need seeing too around the house; she is also starting to write the Xmas cards later.I’m up in the office on the WWW  minding my own business and keeping myself from under her feet! ‘Scruffy’ is keeping me company as well.'Chspa' has also come and joined us in between the showers.

We are still reading a little in the afternoons until the light goes and then end up watching the ‘Animal Documentaries’ on TVE 2 and the ‘Dog Whisperer’ later! Last night after supper we found a good two good films to watch, one after another on TVE 1(so no adverts!) Just like you wait all day for the bus to come along and then two turn up!!

Early this evening our dear friend 'Big Bri' called in so we had a good catch-up with all his news,he signed the full contract this morning with the company after the three month training period! Great news!! 

First it was an all action spy drama “Haywire” from 2011 with Gina Carano? Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Bill Paxton, Antonio Banderas and Michael Douglas – ‘Gina’ is all action, no words and kills everything/anybody that moves!

Next it was “Twisted” from 2004 about a series of murders in San Francisco with the cops played by the very watch able Ashley Judd, Samuel L Jackson and Andy Garcia – there’s a twist in the tale!!
