A CRISP AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY;

SUNDAY 11^th/ JANUARY 2015.

Just a little lie in this morning until the sound of the street cleaning machine woke us up; we then had Smoked Bacon ‘Butty’s’ with a mug of tea to set us up for the day ahead! The weather forecast is looking fine with the sun breaking through later and just a little breeze, more of the same for the start of next week and getting a little warmer, at the moment.

I then made a fresh batch of my special ‘own recipe’ “ Minestrone” soup using my famous Tomato Salsa as a base and then making up the soup with all the vegetables, pulse’s and pasta that I could find! 22 in total!! At the same time I made the savory ‘Red & Green Pepper Salsa’ for the Basmati Rice, for this evenings supper to go with the dry-griddled ‘Escalope of Turkey Breast’ Tomorrow night we are having a ‘Seafood Fried Rice’ – ‘Singapore Style’!

As we are free on Monday with no ‘Doggy’ commitments we are going out in the morning for a drive in the ‘Red Ferrari – Fiesta’ along the coast towards Gibraltar and will then find some where to stop off for a bit of sight seeing/shopping no doubt and a light Tapas lunch!

Last Friday when we were out in San Pedro we called into one of Brenda’s favorite shops ‘La Casa Blanca’ which is in a small shopping mall on the edge of the town for some night lights and found that they had a 50% sale on! So we ended up buying some new bath mats, a front door draft excluder and some very nice expensive new cushions (50% off)! As you can see in the pictures below.

Yesterday afternoon I managed to get a very good connection on the ‘First Row Sports Channel’ on the larger PC and was able to watch, first the Liverpool game, they won 0-1 – just! - then later the Everton match, they drew 1-1 with City but played very well and deserved to win – sorry Big Bri & Brian!!

Later in the evening on the sports high lights on the very good Spanish ‘Cuatro’ channel I caught up with all the football from around Europe with Real Madrid winning 3-0 as Gareth Bale scored from a free-kick and made another goal with a 40yrd pass to Ronaldo,later he was booed by the home crowd when he did not pass to the spoilt brat ‘Ronaldo’ who called him a ‘P--a’! – a Spanish slang word!

So we are taking things easy today,I given the ‘Child Bride’ the day off and we will go out for walk a little later at lunchtime and no doubt drop in for a cool drink up at Bar Rojas to take in the sights and sound of a sleepy sunny Manilva on Sunday.

We took 'Chispa' with us and sat in the new park where the sun was very hot,the breeze had dropped and by lunchtime it was 19/20degs and rising!We could not resist the aroma of the spit-roasted Chicken as we walked along Calle Mar so we bought a half one and had it for lunch with a salad!

 We have just arranged for a dog groomer to call and see to 'Chispa' on Friday lunchtime,, she already looks after 'Scruffy'and comes highly recommended by Rose!
