A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY, GETTING HOTTER LATER.

TUESDAY 26^th/ MAY 2015.

Well this morning it was the workmen on the site/development, all six of them, that woke us all up as they arrived as usual at 8-00am. I took ‘Charlie’ for his first walk of the day( 4 in al!) around the bottom of the village, when we came back ‘Reina’ arrived so we all went back to bed for another half hour lie in!

It’s a beautiful day here in sunny Manilva, the sky is blue, the sun was out early and there is no breeze, by lunchtime it will be hot – 25/26degs with more of the same over the next few days towards the weekend; on Friday. Saturday & Sunday there is a large ‘Music Festival’ taking place down on the ‘Rastro Ground’ in the valley below the village- it was originally supposed to be in Malaga but the organizes fell out with the authorities so Manilva has picked it up! The main act over the three days are “The Christians”

At the moment as I’m typing the Blog I’m listening to ‘Castle Radio FM 89.2’ via the WWW – loud through my speakers in stereo with the sub woofer at full blast!!

Yesterday on the site there was a lot of activity with the six construction workers erecting the iron work and shuttering before the four cement workers arrived in the late afternoon; they took over 4 hours pumping the cement down from Calle Mar, meanwhile the construction men were joined by two bosses and carried on making as much noise as possible until 10-00pm when it was then dark! See the pictures above.

They are preparing to pump down more cement this afternoon!!

After posting the Blog I’m in the kitchen to get tonight’s supper ready, we are having “ Steak & Ale Pie” ( Iceland) with twice-cooked ‘Frits’ and Baby Carrots with Garden Peas, them I’m going to make my special savory ‘Garlic Butter’ for tomorrows “ Chicken Kiev” All will be revealed tomorrow – watch this space!

At lunchtime we will take all three dogs for a nice walk and probably stop for a cool drink in one of our many ‘watering stops’! We ended up at Carlos's 'Bar Antiguedades' sat in the garden as you can see in the pictures below;

At the moment we can’t go up on the roof terrace for our ‘Happy Hour’ due to the noise and dust from the site but we still have it either in the ‘Chill’ out room or in the lounge. We are now back into our reading and are at the moment back on the ‘Patterson’s’ when we find one that we have not already read!

No news at the moment about who is going to be the new Mayor and the governing party/coalition to form the new Council, also who gets the jobs in the various departments?! There is no sign of anybody around and just a few comments on Facebook, so far – watch this space.

After supper this evening we will catch up with all the world & national news, the sports round ups and most importantly the weather details.

Last night over in Liverpool after one 'Helluva'  Day there was a spectacular fire work display down at the Pier Head and over the River Mersey with the " Three Graces" lit up; see the pictures below.
