A OVERCAST BUT NOW WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 27^th / SEPTEMBER 2016.

I was up first this morning to see ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day.

NEWS UPDATE;  – RE - THE MISSING ‘BIRTHDAY’ CARDS.

I then went down to our local Post Office to formally report the missing Birthday Cards, five/six from England & one from Australia, the lady Post Mistress took all my details as I explained that they were all regular senders and had sent them in plenty of time, 2/3 weeks before the date, they all had the correct address as they had sent them many time’s before! She is contacting the main Post office down in SabinIllas and then Malaga, she is also going to report it to the responsible person, finally if there is no joy we are going to put a complaint form in!! Watch this space.

We have a ' RESULT ' - our Post Lady has just delivered the missing seven cards, including a Post Card, which she has found down in the main Post Office in Sabinillas! See below - thanks to all!!

When I came back I then treated us to ‘ Smoked Bacon Butties’ with mugs of steaming, strong, tea for breakfast. I then went along to the Chemists in ‘ Calle Mar’ for my prescription tablets, I then carried on down to our local Butchers, for this evenings supper I bought ‘ Escalope’s of Chicken Breast ‘ which he cuts off the fresh local Chickens, I also had him slice some ‘Escalope’s’ of Liver’ for another day and all the Chicken Wings off the Chickens! 

While I was coming up Calle Iglaise the lady from the ‘Dress’ shop was putting out a rail of various dresses/tops etc – all for 5 Euros- Brenda has just shot off to see if she can find a bargain! She’s returned with two tops and a pair of light silky trousers and is going back for more!!

For this evening supper we are having the ‘Grilled Escalope’s of Chicken Breast’ finished in a Lime & Balsamic Vinegar Butter with on the side some finally sliced Green Beans and sautéed thick-cut slices of Baked Potato. For tomorrow night’s ‘ Wednesday Special’ I’m making a “ Lamb Steak, Mushroom & Vegetable ‘Tarragon’ Casserole “

After a dull start to the day it’s picking up and the sun is just breaking through, as forecast, it’s still warm and the rest of the week is staying the same, there is a ‘ Levante’ sea breeze bring some of the wet stuff down from Northern Spain but it will not reach us down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – fingers crossed, as we are going out on Sunday with Lee & Daniela to our favourite lunchtime restaurant ‘ Kokomo’ for their excellent Sunday Roast Lunch, to celebrate Lee & my Birthdays!

Yesterday afternoon/early evening we watched all the various ‘Quiz’ shows and then after supper we caught the next episode of  ‘ Cold Feet ‘ which has all sorts of story lines, love, sex, death, money, police etc!

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
