A BREEZY, WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 29th/ OCTOBER 2016.




















A nice lie in for all of us this morning, ‘ Pax’ stays in his bed until we get up, he then waits as we get ourselves ready, we then went for our first walk of the day around the bottom of the village, this evening ‘ Reina’ is back with us for a sleep over as Lee & Daniela are going to a ‘ Halloween’ party, no doubt ‘ Chispa will be calling in later here in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’!  Later this morning its ‘ Bath Time’ for ‘ Pax ‘!! 

See the pictures below of the cleanest dog in Town after he came out of the bath/shower!










See the picture below of ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ on a busy day!







As we were going out we bumped into ‘ Lumy’ who used to run ‘Bar Rojas’- she lives above the bar and we see her all the time, the other day her younger son ‘ Paco’ was passing , he used to walk their dog ‘ ‘Brenda ‘ a lovely ‘ Boxer’ that Brenda fell in love when she was a puppy, hence the name! We asked after the dog and he told us that she had died ,suddenly, earlier this year, ‘ Lumy’ told us that she was bitten by a mosquito! She is still very upset and said that they are not having another dog, so sad, our thoughts go to all the family.

This morning has started with the sun the out, the sky is clear and there is a nice ‘Levante’ breeze, making it rather pleasant, over the mountains across the valley, there is a large/high cloud cover and down to the ‘Mediterranean’ the view is spectacular as the sun is rising and sea is sparkling, tomorrow we have more of the same and next week is starting to look settled, for now, watch this space.

This evening for our supper we are having a large ‘ Grilled Entrecote Steak’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’- then left to rest before slicing it ‘ French’ style into fingers, garnished with seared Asparagus Spears & Button Mushrooms with ‘ Bearnaise’ sauce on the side, finely sliced Green Beans and our current favourite – twice-cooked ‘ Pont Neuf’ thick cut chips!





On the sports front this weekend it’s the ‘ Mexican Grand Prix’ which Lewis Hamilton must win to keep him in with still a chance to retain the World Championship; over here in ‘ La Liga’ Barcelona are at home to Granada and Real Madrid travel to  ‘ Deportivo Alaves’ in the town of Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Basque region, in the ‘ Premiere League’ Manchester City are going down the M6 to West Brom and Liverpool are also on the M6 on their way to Crystal Palace, tomorrow Everton welcome West Ham.

We are having a quiet weekend just relaxing and basically doing nothing, because we can! Next week we have no appointments etc so we will be just out and about here in sunny Manilva, ‘Reina’ is back with us as normal, for the five day from Monday to Friday, ‘ Pax’ is with us for his last week, he’s being picked up by Jane on her return from Canada a week on Monday, we are going to miss him as he’s become great company, no problem to look after, he eats everything and sleeps all night, he’s a real character, he’s at my feet at the moment as I’m typing & posting the Blog!

Yesterday evening after supper we watched the next episode of ‘ The Level’ as the young lady detective was nearly killed, while undercover, by the nasty ‘ Bad Guy’ – he had just nearly killed the corrupt cop at the same time, the plot is unfolding, the missing truck was found with guns and drugs ( not illegal?!) – the other ‘ Bad Guy’ has got his hands back on the drugs after a police mistake and rings to say that he’s got the drugs ‘ Gold Mine’ back, to a very surprising source, watch this space!
