A CRISP & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY " DIA DE ANDALUCIA "

TUESDAY 28^th/ FEBRUARY 2017    “ DIA DE ANDALUCIA “

I was up first to see ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, we then all had a little lie in before getting the day on the go, after freshening up we had a cooked breakfast to set us up for an ‘ Helluva’ day here in sunny Manilva, Crispy Smoked Bacon, Mushrooms & Fried Eggs ( still not Campo!) with buttered toast and mugs of steaming tea.

We are going up to the top of our street later to follow all the celebrations on the stage in front of the Town Hall, then for the rest of the day and into this evening there is music, singing & dancing, the top stage is also in use, see all the pictures above that I will post later.

‘’Charlie’ is now not joining us until tomorrow lunchtime, ‘Chispa’ has been around all ready, yesterday she was in and out all day.

The sun was out early this morning and the sky is now clearing, it’s still crisp but by lunchtime it’s due to reach 23degs, the highest so far this year, the rest of the week is staying settled  but with some of the wet stuff on Friday & Saturday, the weekend is also now looking dry, fingers crossed, watch this space.

See the view along the coast this morning.

Later I’m making the ‘ Lob Scouse ‘ for this evenings supper, we are celebrating ‘ National Scouse Day ‘ at the same time, then for our dessert it’s ‘ Crepes a la Mode’ as it’s ‘ Shove Tuesday ‘ also! Tomorrow evening Lee & Daniela are joining us for supper after she returns from the UK, we are going to have ‘ Braised Steak & Onions ‘ with ‘ Fondant ‘ Potatoes.

Yesterday evening after supper we settled down to watch the new series of “ Broadchurch “ on ITV – we have not seen it before so we are going to catch up with all the old story lines – Olivia Colman & David Tennant are the two Detectives, the opening episode was a slow burner, as they started the investigation of rape, the victim was played by Julie Hesmondhalgh ( ex Coronation Street) – a very emotional and moving portrayal, the rest of the cast, Sarah Parish, Suneta Sarker, Charlie Higson, Lenny Henry and Roy Hudd are also all excellent, it’s going to very gripping and tense in the next few weeks, as there are four suspects already, watch this space.

Thoughts for the Day;
