A STILL WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY;

THURSDAY 13th / OCTOBER 2016.


















I was up very early this morning to welcome back ‘ Reina’ for the day; I then went back to bed and left all the folks asleep! ‘Reina’ went in her duvet and ‘ Pax’ stayed on his bed, we stayed under the covers, Brenda then had a quick shower, mine later, we took ‘Pax’ out for his first walk of the day, when we returned we had ‘ Smoked Bacon Butties’ for our breakfast, both the dogs had theirs, ‘ Reina’ is still on her Carrot diet and ‘ Pax ‘ ate all his own special meal and then his treat!

Yesterday evening the rains stopped so we able to get out in between the showers with ‘Pax’- over night a severe rain storm with thunder & lightening passed over the village, this morning it’s still a little overcast but keeping dry, as forecast, the sun is braking through and the overall temperatures have settled at 17 during the night & 22/23 degs during the day, we can’t complain for the time of the year, tomorrow there could be a little of the wet stuff around but then over the weekend it’s going to be warm & sunny, even getting a little hotter! Watch this space.

See below this mornings sky;






Yesterday lunchtime on their ‘ Facebook’ page the Council announced that there would be a ‘ Consultation Meeting ‘ at 5-00 pm in the ‘ Wine Theatre ‘ to discuss the new development of ‘ Calle Mar’ – they had informed all the business’s but not the local residents, so the meeting was not very well attended, all the bar & shop owners where there but just a few of us locals?! The Mayor, Diego, presented their proposals together with the Architects graphic  plans/display’s, and answered all the questions .See below.






They were concerned mainly about the delivery’s, their outside licensed spaces, the disruption period etc, their main concern was  ‘Parking’ in general, the village is already full to capacity in the two underground car parks and street parking?! The Mayor did not have many answers and there was a lot of shoulder shuddering!! See above the plans for ‘ Calle Mar ‘ Watch this space.

This evening for our supper we are having ‘ Scouse’ – last night’s ‘ Beef & Vegetable Stew’ with diced, cooked, Potato added and the stew thickened! This morning when we were out walking we bought, from the Mayor’s Fruit & Vegetable Shop at the start of ‘Calle Mar’! -  a very nice local Green ‘Savoy’ Cabbage to go with the ‘ Scouse’ this evening, also on the side with Pickled Red Cabbage!!

Last night after supper we settled down and watched on BBC 1 the first episode of the drama series ‘ The Missing ‘ – the first series was in 2014 with James Nesbitt, which we have not seen, this series stars David Morrissey, Keeley Hawes & Tcheky Karyo, its very gripping right from the start, the story unfolds with flashbacks, lots of twists & turns, very good  acting and writing, unanswered questions, all in the first episode, we can’t wait for next week!
