SUNDAY 30th/ OCTOBER 2016.
We managed another nice lie in this morning
after the extra hour! Brenda showered first, I’m later, we then took ‘ Pax ‘
for his morning walk around the village, I then was treated to Brenda’s famous ‘
Poached Eggs on toast ( not ‘ Campo !) to start the day off in the right
direction.
We
then got this evenings supper on the go, I made the ‘ Charcutiere’ sauce first;
a ‘Julienne’ of Onions, Shallots & Gherkins, sweated off in White Wine Vinegar
& Red Wine, the secret ingredients and a strong English & Dijon Mustard
Paste are then added, I adjust the seasoning, colouring and consistency to
taste and leave to cook off, meanwhile the ‘ Vegetable Chef’ is preparing the
Cabbage with Acelgas and Crushed Baby Carrots and some Boiled Potatoes for the ‘
Breton’ style Potatoes this evening. I cube them and then toss them in
Vegetable Oil to brown off, adding at the same time the sautéed, diced,
Onions,Garlic, Red, Yellow, Green & Orange Peppers that I braised off this
morning. Finally I cut the ‘ Medallions of Pork Fillet’ from the middle of the
Fillet, the rest of the Pork is sliced & flattened for ‘ Schnitzels’ for tomorrow
night! See below this evenings supper!!
We have another glorious morning, the sun
was out early, the sky is bright Blue and the ‘ Levante’ breeze has dropped a
little, as we were walking it was warm and sunny, next week is now looking fine
& settled with more of the same weather for the start of November!
It’s so nice that we are going up to ‘Bar Rojas’ later Suzanne's ‘Paella’ sat under the ‘ Sonbrajo’ with a cool drink! Which was closed? -so we went along to 'Bar Ocana' to try ' Fran's' Paella' - it was OK but not as nice as Suzanne's! We then went across the road to ' Cafe Plaza ' and joined the couple we met the other day, Cliff & Madeline, who were sat with two other local friends, Alfred & Jane, it was vert hot as we sat in the warm sunshine taking in the sights & sounds of sunny Manilva.
See the beach down in Sabinillas this morning!
And Colwyn Bay, North Wales!!

As Brenda was watering the wall plants,
outside, Mario, our neighbour & Local Councillor passed, he confirmed that
in two weeks time he will be confirmed/elected as the new Mayor, he has worked
very hard over the past ten years and deserves the honour. Watch this space.
A quick update on yesterdays sport; Lewis
Hamilton is on the ‘Pole’ position for
today’s ‘ Mexican Grand Prix’ Manchester City won 0-4, Liverpool won 2-4,
Barcelona won 1-0 in a ‘ lackluster’ performance, meanwhile Real Madrid beat lowly
Alaves 1-4, Ronaldo scored another hat trick and missed a penalty!
We watched ‘ Strictly Come Dancing’ before
supper a last night and then later channel hopped. In the afternoon we watched the
excellent coverage on ‘Channel 4’ of the ‘National Hunt Racing’ from Ascot &
Wetherby, next year ‘ITV’ is taking over all the race coverage so it will be
interesting to see how they go on with all the new presenters?!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
