A STILL VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 30^th AUGUST 2016.

I was up first this morning to welcome back ‘ Reina’ for the day, she’s with us everyday up to and including Friday, ‘ Chispa’ came calling at the same time, she’s in & out all the time, we then freshened up and had our breakfast, ‘Smoked Bacon Butties’ for me and fresh fruit & toast for Brenda.

PS; ' Charlie ' is back with us this weekend for a sleep over on Saturday & Sunday, Jan just rang to see if we could have him! 

We are expecting the maintenance man later as our drains are blocking, we have also arranged for the painter to come back to touch up the outside and also attend to some nasty damp spots in the main bathroom, office and main bedroom, that have been caused by all the building work next door! At the same time the four main window shutters on the front of the house are in disrepair/broken ( due to old age!) so we have asked for new ones to be installed, watch this space.

Last night it was very hot & sticky and it got rather uncomfortable, to say the least, this morning its very close with not a breath of air, the sun was out early and the sky is blue, the forecast is for it to get a little cooler, the mid 30s, the rest of the week is staying hot & sunny and the weekend is going to be warm for the ‘ Vendimia Festival ‘ weekend! See the pictures below of the latest ‘Muscatel’ grapes and a different view of the village taken from across the far valley.

This evening we are having the rest of the ‘ Smoked Chicken & Green Bean Risotto’ for our supper, we have it cold with a little salad on the side, if anything its even nicer served cold, the flavour has matured and I add a few more pieces of the Leg & Thigh meat! The rest of the week we are still taking one day at the time.

Tomorrow lunchtime I’m back at the surgery for my ‘ ECG’ test, I will then make the appointments to see our Doctor, after our various blood tests etc over the next couple of weeks, it takes a week for the results to come back, watch this space.

Yesterday evening after supper we caught the second episode of ‘ Victoria’ . during the late afternoon and early evening we watched the various ‘ Quiz’ shows that we follow; we are looking forward to all the new series that are starting over the next few weeks, then it will be time for ‘ Strictly Come Dancing’!

IT'S FIND THE ' MOFFATT'S WEEK OVER IN NORTH WALES;

NO SIGN THERE THEN!
