A OVERCAST BUT DRY SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 24 /th OCTOBER 2015.







We had a nice long lie in this morning, all of us, ‘Barny & Maisie’ go to bed downstairs on their doggy duvet and you have to wake them up in the morning; I took ‘Barny’ off in one direction and Brenda stayed local with ‘Maisie’ It’s overcast & grey this morning but there is no breeze and its still very mild, 22 degs during the day and 17 degs at night!

On our return we had for a change for our breakfast ‘ Campo’ fried Eggs with crispy Smoked Bacon, lots of toast crusts and a mug of steaming PG Tips to start the day! I then watched on our large screen TV 'Saturday Kitchen Live' - after we went for a nice walk with three dogs as 'Chispa' came calling,she's been in and made friends with both of them already!

Last night on our last walk of the day we bumped into Brian & Carlos outside Bar Ocana so we had a good catch up with all their news,then outside Bar Castillo a English couple that we see from time to time around the village chatted to us and she fell in love with little Maisie; we missed ‘QI’ on BBC 2 as we were out so long! All the locals comment  on the two dogs as we are out and are surprised that Barny is so gentle and his best friend is Maisie!

After supper we watched the second programme of ‘Great Continental Rail Journeys’ with Michael Portillo and when we eventually got back to the house it was time for the ‘Graham Norton Show’ with Daniel Craig before finally catching back over on BBC 2 ‘Later with Jools Holland’ The new system is very good with an excellent connection
.
On the sports front today I will be watching on ITV the first semi-final of the ‘Rugby Union World Cup’ from Twickenham as New Zealand play South Africa; in the Premiere League today Everton travel down to Arsenal and then tomorrow Liverpool welcome Southampton before the match of the day ‘ Manchester Utd v Manchester City!!

Over here in ‘La Liga’ Barcelona welcome Eiber and Real Madrid travel to Celta de Vigo. Meanwhile its the USA Grand Prix from Austin in Texas at which Lewis Hamilton could be the World Champion, that’s if it takes place as at the moment the practise session have been cancelled due to the Category 5 ‘Hurricane Patricia’ Watch this space
.
For our supper this evening we are having ‘Entrecote Steak’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘Med-Rare’ with sautéed Baby Mushrooms, finely sliced Green Beans and twice-cooked ‘Frits’




We will then channel hop in Spain and England to find something to watch.


Thoughts for the Day; See above.
