A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 12th / MARCH 2016.















We had a nice long lie in this morning as the village was very quiet and we had no dogs to look after; ‘ Chispa’ calls in all the time as she is out playing. I then made Brenda a ‘Cheese & Smoked Bacon Butty’ while I had ‘Campo’ Fried Eggs with crisp Smoked Bacon, lots of toast and mugs of steaming tea. After freshening ourselves up I got the dust pan & brush to work before mopping all the floors from the bathroom, office, bedroom, stairs, lounge and the two kitchens with the help of Brenda in her wheel chair around the lounge!

We then watched ‘ Saturday Morning Kitchen’ with the Welsh chef Bryn WillIams, who I remember starting as a Commis Chef in a restaurant in Denbigh, he runs an award winning restaurant in London ‘ Odettes’ and last year opened a Bistro/ Restaurant on the sea front in Colwyn Bay ‘ Porth Eirias’! See the picture below taken from the restaurant at the end of February!






I then popped down to our local shop at the bottom of our street for some essentials, this evening we are having ‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’ & garnished with Asparagus Spears, sautéed Baby Mushrooms, seared Plum Tomato and French Fried Onion rings! On the side whole/fine Green Beans and some ‘ Frits’ –  See below. 





Tomorrow night its my special ‘ Smoked Chicken & Three Bean Risotto’ – Brenda has just shelled the local Broad Beans!

On the sports front we will be watching the Horse Racing from Sandown Park before catching the ‘ Six Nations Rugby Union Championships’ from Twickenham as England ‘welcome’ Wales, meanwhile over in England at Goodison Park Everton welcome Chelsea in the ‘FA Cup’ sixth round and Manchester City have a long journey down to Norwich, over here in ‘ La Liga’ Barcelona welcome Gatafe and tomorrow Real Madrid fly to Las Palmas!




England beat Wales 25 - 21 after a spirited come back by Wales in the last ten minutes when the scored two quick tries!

Mano & Anna called in later in the afternoon with a nice bottle of Cava for Brenda, we had a good catch up with all the local news and gossip.

After supper last night we found back on Spanish TV a ‘ Bruce Willis’ film to watch “ Live Free or Die hard “ from 2007 – the fourth in the series, with Justin Long & Timothy Olyphant, does he survive – watch it to see!!
