A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA AT THE START OF A ' HELLUVA' WEEK.

MONDAY 16th / MAY 2016.















I was up first this morning to see little princess ‘ Reina’ back with us here in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ – she’s here everyday up to Friday and has a sleep over on Thursday; when we were out yesterday lunchtime Rose booked ‘ Scruffy’ in with us on the first Saturday of June for a sleep over and he’s also joining us at Xmas for a week, ‘Charlie’ is this year with us for two weeks over the New Year.

Overnight the temperatures have started to rise, we have a nice warm & sunny week ahead, its getting hotter each day with just a little breeze to keep it very pleasant, back to normal for the time of the year 24/25 degs, we will be changing to the light duvets over the next few days. The washing is in the machine and I will put it out to dry later up on the  roof patio in the sky! See below Sabinillas beach at lunchtime today:





For our supper this evening we are having the rest of last night ‘ Braised Steak’ as I’ve added some more steak that I had ready, we will have a fry-up of the leftover vegetables and potatoes, tomorrow evening I will but some ‘Chicken Escalope’s’ from our butchers and then on Wednesday its going to be ‘Gammon Steaks’
.
After typing and posting the Blog I’m working on this weeks show ‘ Sir’ Malcolm’s Saturday Classic Session on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’ which this week will be ‘ live’ as usual from the main studio in ‘ Castillo de la Duquesa’ I’m taking the playlists down first thing in the morning and then coming back to collect Brenda to go down to Sabinillas to check out the ‘Private Physiotherapist’ to see if she can help Brenda with more movement and flexibility.





On Wednesday morning we are going across to Estepona to take back our carriage clock to the jewellers as its still not going after the expensive repair, we are then calling into the ‘IT’ shop for inks for the printer as the two local shops have closed, we will then go on to ‘ La Cañada’ and drop the car off at the ‘Car Hypermarket’ for two new rear tires and to get the air-con checked before doing some ‘ window shopping’ – watch this space.

This week is a very important for ‘ Football’ as on Wednesday in Basle its the ‘ UEFA Europa League Cup Final’ between Liverpool and Sevilla, then on Saturday its the ‘ FA Cup Final’ at Wembley before the ‘ Copa del Rey Final’ on Sunday in Madrid between Barcelona and Sevilla, the following week its the ‘  UEFA Champions League Final’ in Milan between Real Madrid and Atl. Madrid!

Over the last couple of weeks we have been given lots of books ( Anna & Thea ! ) so we are getting back into our routine of reading in the afternoons before out ‘Happy Hour’ cocktails, we are still trying to find coloured wall pots for the patio in the sky so will be checking out Estepona on Wednesday as they have them in every street, I will call into the Tourist Office to find out where they got them from!






Last night we watched the final episode of ‘ Undercover’ – it was very gripping and exciting with two very big surprises, a gripping court room drama in the USA and a shooing in a forest in the UK! Then another surprise ending, excellent acting by the two main characters played by Sophie Okonedo & Adrian Lester; next week we are going to watch ‘ Wallander ’ with Kenneth Branagh, in the title role, its the final series and we will be watching it for the first time!
