A VERY DAMP AND OVERCAST SUNNY MANILVA ON FRIDAY AT THE START OF A WET WEEKEND;

FRIDAY 29th/ MARCH 2015  “ PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN ”












We were up in our own time this morning as there are no workmen trying to knock/drill their way into our house – it’s too wet! Overnight we have had severe rain storms and there is more to come today before Saturday and Sunday when it gets worse!! It’s also getting a little colder with the day time temperatures down to 14/15degs.

We shot up to the roof terrace to find out that there are thick grey clouds and no sun, so no eclipse! What a pity as we at this time of the year normally have the bright sun coming up over the Mediterranean, so it would be rather impressive to say the least – oh well!

See below two pictures from this morning,the first was taken in North Wales above 'Llandudno Junction' and the second was taken in Northern Spain above 'A Coruna'





In ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ we have ‘Scruffy’ due for a two day sleep over on Saturday, he’s being picked up on Monday morning; he will no doubt bring his executive bed and house and of course he will need his raincoat as we are going to get drowned, to say the least, on his walks!

After breakfast we sorted ourselves out and got ready to go down to Sabinillas later for our weekly shopping as we also have an appointment at the solicitors to re-sign the contract on the house – watch this space. It’s the Chef’s day off today along with the Assistant Chef as we are out tonight for a late supper after going first to the meeting of the new party “ Compromiso Manilva’ at the Flamenco restaurant ‘ Meson El Molino’ See the pictures above of a very packed launch party.

Also above are some pictures from the 'Kinnaree Thai Restaurante' with the host Lisa, we had the Thai Vegetable Springrolls,Minced Chicken in Lettuce & Steamed Prawn Dim Sum to start and for our main course it was the King Prawns with Messamen Curry sauce*** & King Prawns with Chilli and Lemongrass* See the pictures above;


The appointment went very well and we have signed the new contract  for another 11 months from today's date; all our repairs have been noted and will be sorted very shortly meanwhile we are arranging for them to change the Electric Hot Plate to a four ring Gas Burner with a Hob Extractor in the smaller working back kitchen - Watch this space!

Last night we just channel hopped and watch nothing in particular.
