A CRISP & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK.

MONDAY 27^th/ FEBRUARY 2017.

I was up first this morning to welcome back little princess ‘ Reina’ for the day, she’s here all this week, she shot into her duvet and has now settled down, after freshening up, we then had our normal breakfast of toast & tea, I then shot along to our butchers for Diced Beef ( Not Neck of Lamb ) for tomorrow ‘ Scouse ‘ When we were talking to the Swedish ladies last week the subject of ‘Lob Scouse’ came up and they of course new the dish as ‘Lapskojs ‘ – a traditional sailors dish! This confirms the tale as to where it came from – ‘Swedish Seaman’ in the Port of Liverpool many years ago!!

At the moment the Council workmen are erecting a large stage in front of the Town Hall for tomorrows celebrations of the ‘ Dia de Andalucia’ – it all kicks off with the village ‘Brass Band’ parading along Calle Mar, then the village choir sings the Andalucian ‘Anthem’ as the Green & White flag is raised, during the day all the local organizations perform, singing, dancing & plays, a glass of the local wine and a traditional piece of cake are handed out.

The Stage is Set! 

At lunchtime I'm going to the surgery for my appointment with our Doctor, Natalia, for my review/check up after the results of last week’s ‘Prostrate’ consultation, she will arrange the blood tests for later this week so as they are ready for next week’s ‘ Anestesia ‘ consultation at the hospital. Watch this space. I have to go across to the ' Costa Del Sol Hospital' on Wednesday morning for the special blood test.

This morning it’s crisp & sunny, as forecast, the sun broke through earlier and the sky is blue, there is a little breeze but in the sunshine it’s warm, the rest of the week is showing more of the same but the threat of some of the wet stuff is still around over the weekend, watch this space.

See below this mornings sunrise over the Mediterranean;

This evening for our supper we are having the rest of the ‘Roast Chicken’ with a fry-up of the leftover vegetables and the rest of the ‘ Fondant’ potatoes, which we enjoyed. Tomorrow evenings it’s the ‘ Scouse’ as it’s ‘National Scouse Day’ with for the dessert ‘ Crepes a la Mode’ as it’s also ‘ Shove Tuesday’!

After supper last night we watched the second episode of ‘ SS-GB’ – the sound was a lot better as the main character played by Sam Riley gave a superb performance as he found himself trying to play both ends, the ‘SS’ & the ‘English’ resistance. He was taken to his house were his wife was killed and found the battered corpse of the young PC that was helping him, he then seduced the American journalist with his boyish charms, finally it was disclosed why the ‘SS’ were so keen to investigate the murder, they are after the plans for the ‘ Atomic Bomb’! Watch this space.

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
