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

MONDAY 14th SEPTEMBER 2015.








We were up as usual this morning as we had some people coming to see us about looking after their dog, after a quick breakfast  we sorted ourselves out for the week ahead, on Tuesday & Thursday 'Reina' is back with us,then on Wednesday morning we are going across to Estepona to go to the watch repair shop and then onto Marbella for some retail therapy ( shopping!)

On Thursday morning Brenda is going down to her hairdressers in Sabinillas for the 'full work then on Friday morning its our regular weekly shopping down in Sabinillas and a quiet weekend before next weeks birthday celebrations for my 70th birthday on the 24th September!!

There is a slight breeze this morning but its still warm in sunny Manilva with the temperature due to rise to 30 degs today,the rest of the week is looking fine and sunny and could even get a little hotter!

Vic & Helen had made contact with us last week and asked if we could look after their dog 'Scooby' for a week at the start of October,they arrived this morning with him, he's a real character and a pet (see the pictures below) - they are going away with their children for a holiday to Sicily where Vic is from. So we have another guest here in 'Doggy World Heaven' - 'Chispa' came calling and checked out her new friend to be! It was nice chatting to you both with 'Scooby' and we are looking forward to greeting him back.





The hire car people from Marbella that we have used since we arrived down here on the 'Costa Del Sol' all those years ago have confirmed this morning that they are dropping off the car next Monday morning at 11-00 am. I'm down at the surgery first thing on the Monday morning for all sorts of tests so that fits in very well.

Another one of our Pensions arrived in our Spanish Bank A/C this morning and was down, quiet a bit on last months,this means that this month we are loosing a considerable amount overall in September due to the 'Euro' being down, its those 'dammed' Chinese fault again!

We have not planned the Menu's for this week yet, we are just taking each day as it comes; this evening we are having the rest of the 'Rotisserie' Chicken with a nice Mixed Salad.

We will be having our 'Happy Hour' as usual,.it depends on where the workmen are working, we are now both reading Harlan Coben which we are enjoying as we listen to the local radio stations before supper.

Last night we found a film to watch that was written and directed by Quentin Tarrantini ""Django Unchained" from 2012 - its a stylized spaghetti western set in the old west on the 'Antebellum south; it won many awards for the writing and screenplay by Tarrantini! Its stares Jamie Foxx in the title role, Christoph Waitz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L.Jackson and KerryWashington - catch it is you can just for the acting alone!









Thoughts for the Day; See above.
