A OVERCAST & CLOUDY SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 14^th/ DECEMBER 2016.

I was up this morning to see ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, she shot into her duvet, we then freshened up and had our usual breakfast of Weetabix, fresh fruit, toast & tea, before getting the day on the go. Brenda is going to walk, slowly, down to the surgery for her appointment with our Doctor, Natalia, for her main weekly check up, ‘Scruffy’ is due to be dropped off by Rose on her way to the hospital later in the morning.

The day has started grey & overcast, it now looks like the ‘ Atlantic ‘ front will hit us later, a day earlier than forecast, the rest of the week is not looking good, heavy rain & winds, especially on Friday, when I'm out for our weekly shopping, hopefully the weekend will pick up, Sunday is now looking dry, at the moment, we will then find out what is in store for the Xmas week?!

‘ The Moffatt’s ‘ - Tim & Thea, have been spotted again, they are still in Spain in the small coastal town of ‘ Torre de la Horadada ‘ in the province of Murcia above Cartagena, they have been out & about with friends. We have sent their Xmas & Tim’s birthday card to their home in Old Colwyn!

We have just had a ‘RESULT’- Tim has been on the Skype video and we have had a good long catch up with all their news, as we suspected they have rented a house in the town and are staying for Xmas, Jo is coming down from Madrid, where she teaches in a school, and Ben is flying in from Old Colwyn, he’s bringing all their cards! They are staying around until May, with a possible route back via Portugal, past sunny Manilva, on their way to Santander to catch the ferry. Watch this space.



                                                                                           " TORRE DE LA HORADADA " 

This evening for our supper we are having ‘ Pan-Seared Calves Liver ‘ with grilled English Smoked Back Bacon & Pork Sausages, a rich Red Wine Onion Gravy & Cabbage with Acelgas and Brenda famous ‘ Mashed Potato.

Last night we watched the final episode of the three part ‘BBC TVs’ re-make of ‘ 10 Rillington Place’ – the true story of the serial killer John Christie in the early 1950s – he strangled eight women( possibly more!) and then buried/concealed them in the garden, walls and under the floor boards, including his wife! He was caught and hanged!!  Tim Roth played him & his wife was played by Samantha Morton, very gripping with as usual excellent period effects.

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
