A FINE DAY IN SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 27^th/ JANUARY 2015.

I was up first this morning as ‘Reina’ was being drooped off for the day, she shot upstairs and got into her duvet with her coat still on, she is still there now so we will leave her for a little while longer until ‘Chispa’ comes calling later. ‘Scruffy’ is due at lunchtime for a short stay until this evening and is then back tomorrow.

After breakfast I shot around to the butchers and bought some ‘English’ style thick-cut Pork Chops for tonight’s supper, baked in the oven, which we are having with the rest of the Boulangere potatoes along with Glazed Baby Carrots and Cabbage with Alselgas; I also got some ‘Albondigas – Meatballs’ for tomorrow nights supper which we will have with Spaghetti using my famous Tomato salsa, at the same time I bought some Chicken Wings for another day.

This morning its yet another fine day here in sunny Manilva,the sky is bright blue and the sun was out early, by lunchtime it will be 19degs,back to normal by our standards! The forecast for the rest of the week and over the weekend is also now looking more settled. We will go for a walk later this morning after ‘Chispa’ comes up to see us and ‘Reina’

 We have just come back from our walk with the dogs, we sat on our 'Derby & Joan' bench at the 'Mirador' in the hot sunshine,no coats or scarfs needed, we then had a nice coffee sat outside 'Maria's Bar' See the picture below of little princess ‘Reina’ – ‘Scruff’s’ later!

He has just arrived!

Yet again this morning the ‘Euro’ has reached a new high, will it last I ask myself? ‘Fingers crossed’ as we have another pension transfer due into our Spanish bank account over the weekend and then another one next Monday! So it’s going to be Brenda’s haircut next week and then my turn the following week!!

I forgot to say that over the weekend we spoke to Tim & Thea on the Skype video as they had received the brochure for the ‘La Bella Vista’ 5* campsite just outside Sabinillas, on the coast road by the side of the beach, they are making plan to start their’ Travels’ in their motor home by March/April and are definitely coming down for my 70^th birthday celebration in September this year!!

This evening after supper we will settle down to catch up with news etc, and then find something to watch.
