A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 28^th/ APRIL 2015.

I was up early this morning as ‘Reina’ was due back with us for the day, she shot upstairs and went to sleep on her duvet and I carried on and went down to the local office to pay the ‘Road Fund Tax; - they sent me back to the local bank in Calle Mar, I then collected the car and went down to Sabinillas to top up the petrol and then when I came back I checked the oil & water, outside the house, ready for tomorrows trip over to Estepona.

After breakfast we showered and freshened ourselves up and then went for a nice walk with ‘Reina’ & Chispa’ and ended up having a nice cool drink sat outside in the very hot sunshine at Carlos’s ‘Antiuguidades Bar’ – which is always very pleasant.

Today it’s very hot here in sunny Manilva, the sky is Blue and there is no breeze, the forecast for the rest of the week is even getting better, the overall temperature is rising every day and it looks like we are in for a nice spell of fine weather. Back to normal!

The Council have started to paint the local streets around us,will we be next?!  See the picture below of 'Calle Adrades' ?!  Watch this space.

Tonight for our supper we are having a ‘Soft Mixed Grill’ with Calves Liver, Pork Sausages, Smoked Bacon, Tomato, Mushrooms and sautéed Onions with Cabbage with Alselgas and thick-cut slices of Baked Potato dry sautéed.

It looks like we will be back in our afternoon routine up on the roof terrace, reading, listening to the local music radio station and having our ‘Happy Hour’ drinks & nibbles! Especially as we don’t know how much longer we will be able to go out on the terrace as the development start to go up?!

Last night after supper we settled down and found an interesting film to watch on ‘TVE 1’ so no adverts but sadly at the end no credits. “The Frozen Ground” from 2013 – a serial killer is on the loose in Alaska back in the 1980s – its based on an actual facts & characters, John Cusak is the maniac ‘ Robert Hanson’ who abduts,kills and buries 17/21 women in the frozen wilderness, he’s a married man with two children and owns a restaurant.

The cop chasing him is played by Nicolas Cage in his usual style and the supporting cast is once again very good Vanessa Hudgens, Katherine Lansa,Radlia Mitchell & 50 cent! One interesting fact is that the film was made in the actual area of Alaska outside Anchorage in 25/26 days in the depth of winter with very little day light hours – to make it authentic to the time it actually took place! One to watch to find out the outcome!!
