A BREEZY & WARM SUNNY MANILVA & ESTEPONA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 16th/ SEPTEMBER 2015



.




We were up early this morning and showered before our breakfast, I then collected the car from the under ground car park and came back up to the house to check the oil & water before we set off; its another glorious day day here on the 'Costa Del Sol' with a bright blue sky and the sun out early,there is a little breeze which makes it very pleasant, the Mediterranean was sparkling as we shot along the coast road to Estepona.

Our first port of call was at the watchmakers for some new batteries for our watches,we then spotted a very nice pair of silver ear rings so Brenda has her present for our 44th wedding anniversary at the end of November! Then in 'Primor' it was some essential make up etc.I also found a very nice smart and different 'Pink' shirt in " Apresto Moda Hombre" in the 50% off sale!

We then went along to the far end of Estepona to the 'Carrefour' Hypermarket for my third post card pin board- keep them coming! See below.  Next door is ' La Casa' so we picked up some candle night lights and some bits & pieces.

                                                                Board Two - now full!

                                                           
                                                           Board Three - ready for more!




We then decided not to carry on to Marbella so on the way back we called in to " PC - MACS.es in Estepona and spoke to Ben, the English proprietor, about the new 'IT' system etc.He was very helpful and answered all my queries, he has put my mind at rest and I'm now looking forward to setting it up at the end of the month.He has given us a quote for the Office PC, Windows, a Graphics card for the two screens, as I'm having a 24" main screen and a second 22" one, which I bought while we were there,a keyboard & mouse,Webcam & Speaker system. All with a two year guarantee.

He sets it all up and at the same time downloads the essentials from the old PCs and then cleans/clears them up,this means that I will be able to get back online very quickly and also one of the PCs will then be connected to the main TV so as we then can watch English TV,Sport & Film Channels.!! Result!!  Thanks to Ben for his very kind attention and time! We also bought in his other shop just up the road a individual one-cup coffee machine for Brenda! See below.



The 'House; " Barista " - Brenda has just made her first cup of coffee, no buttons or technology, just good strong coffee !!

We are now back at the house after a 'Helluva' day shopping! This evening we are are having the rest of the 'Beef Bourguignon'  for our supper before settling down to catch up with  the news, sport and weather details for the rest of the week and the weekend.
