A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 20^th/ APRIL 2015.

No rest for the wicked this morning as the workmen came back after a few weeks with a large demolition ‘JCB’ and commenced to knock down and clear more of the walls and rubble away, the street is blocked off and we are in the middle of a building site again! See the pictures below.

After breakfast we shot along to the chemists for some tablets but couldn’t get in the front door, the Monday morning rush had started early! We will call back later when we are out for a walk with ‘Chispa’ ‘Reina’ is here on Tuesday & Thursday as normal but sadly no ‘Scruffy’ this week.

The sun was out first thing this morning and the sky is blue, its another glorious day here in sunny Manilva,the forecast for the week and over the weekend is for more of the same and getting warmer, next week is starting to look fine as well!

See the picture below of the 'Mayor' Diego arriving for work this morning on his 'BMW' Motor Bike!

We had our weekly Menu planning meeting before we went out, this evening we are having ‘Steak & Ale Pie’ ( Iceland) with Garden Peas and twice cooked ‘Frits’ On Tuesday for a change its going to be ‘Escalope of Pork Schnitzels’ with ‘Spaghetti Milanese’ – we picked the Fillets of Pork Loin up from our butchers while we were out, at the same time I bought a Boned Chicken Leg & Thigh as we are having ‘Chicken Curry with Basmati Rice’ on Wednesday. Thursday is ‘Omelet’ day and Friday it’s a ‘Fish Supper’ Saturday night is our usual ‘Steak Night’ and on Sunday we will have a ‘Roast’TBC.

Yesterday in Sotogrande Marina we managed to park the ‘Red Ferrari’ in a small spot right on the harbor’s edge in amongst all the ‘Mercedes’ – it was definitely the ‘car of the day’ with a fine selection of the finest models on show – Black is the ‘in’ colour – with White second! We also managed to sit on the best table outside the ‘KE’ Bar, as it came free just as we arrived!

Last night I watched the ‘Motor GP live from Argentina as Marc Marquez crashed out when he clipped Valentino Rossi’s wheel – Rossi won his second race of the season; on TVE 1 it was ‘Disaster’ Movie night with “ Pompeii” from 2014 with the eruption of ‘Mount Vesuvius’in 79AD  followed by “Volcano” from 1997 with Tommy Lee Jones in Los Angeles!
