A VERY CRISP & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 27^th/ FEBRUARY 2016.

We managed just a little lie in this morning as after today I will be up early each day with ‘Charlie’ who is arriving later this afternoon for his weeks holiday, the village is very quiet before all the festivities get going at lunchtime tomorrow when the ‘Manilva Brass Band’ leads the procession before the formal rising of the flag on the ‘Dia de Andalucia’

At the moment its very crisp as there is a stiff breeze, the sun is out and the sky is clear & blue, the rain has not arrived yet, no doubt later it will get wet & windy as forecast with more to come tomorrow, on Monday onwards its looking warmer and sunnier, I’ve done a sheet wash this morning but it will have to wait to go out on the roof patio on Monday!

Tim, from Old Colwyn, North Wales, called on the Skype video this morning to check up on Brenda and we also had a good catch up with all his news.

We have just watched ‘Saturday Kitchen Live’ with James Martin, who is sadly leaving the show in the next few weeks, we had our breakfast of ‘Malcolm’s’ – not ‘ Brenda’s! - Campo Poached Eggs on Toast (8/10!) with a mug of steaming tea, for our supper this evening we are having ‘Grilled Entrecote Steak’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’ then left to rest before slicing it ‘French Style’ with fine whole Green Beans & some ‘Frits’ on the side.

Last night we watched the “ Six Nations Rugby Union “ down in Cardiff as Wales beat France 19-10 with another special individual try from George North.

Early this evening we will catch the game from the home of Rugby, Twickenham, as England welcome Ireland with Jonny Sexton! Tomorrow its the “ Capital One Cup Final “ as Liverpool play Manchester City at Wembley. Over here in ‘La Liga’ this evening its the ‘Derby’ game as Real Madrid play their neighbours Atl. Madrid.Then tomorrow Barcelona welcome Seviila. This afternoon before the Rugby we will watch the Horse  Racing on Channel 4 from Kempton Park, Newcastle & Lingfield Park.

Brenda is in charge of the channel hopping this evening to find a good film to watch after supper.
