A GREY & OVERCAST START TO MONDAY IN SUNNY MANILVA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK.

MONDAY 27th / MARCH 2017.


























I was up very early this morning to see little princess ‘ Reina’ back with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ – she’s with us for 7 days this week, with 3 sleep-over’s at the weekend, Lee & Daniela are going over to the UK to buy mainly ‘ White Goods’ for their new, grand, Villa, up on the top of ‘ Nob Hill’ above ‘Las Palmonas ‘ - down the coast, at the moment it’s starting to be updated/rebuilt from the inside/out!

We all then had a nice, long lie in, the last this week, ‘Reina’ is now in her duvet where she spends some of the day, we had ‘ Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ with mugs of tea before getting the day/week on the go. No plans, so far, we are just taking each day as it comes.

PS; Daniela has just collected 'Reina ' - she has been signed off work with ligament damage to her shoulder, this means that we will not be having ' Reina' with us for the rest of the week, the weekend is TBC, watch this space.

Tomorrow morning, Tuesday, I will be up before dawn and with Brenda’s help set off across the ‘ Costa Del Sol Hospital ‘ as I have to sign in at the ‘ A & E ‘ Department, before 7-00 am for my ‘Prostrate’  review/operation with a General Anesthetic! Sadly Mano has to work this evening so he will not be able to take me across to the hospital, Lumy offered her help but we don’t want to ask her because of the time, I’m driving across and will leave the car in the main underground car park at the hospital, I don’t know if I will be in for 24 hours or more, or let out later on Tuesday evening and will be able to drive back?!  Watch this space.

PS; The Council underground car park in the village is not unlocked before 6-00 am/ish after checking at the Police Station, so I have brought the car up to the lower square below our house, ready for a quick getaway in the morning! 

In the lunchtime post we had a postcard from Kelvin & Gaye who are on a short break holiday in Dubai, they have been for dinner at the ' Rib Room ' and also at the 7* 'Burj Al Arab Jumeirah  ' - thanks for the postcard, to all our family & friends all over the World, keep them coming!! 

Yesterday evening we had a surprise storm with heavy rain, it blew in from the Atlantic and was not forecast, the sky went black and there was thunder & lightening, Brenda shot upstairs and brought the washing in just in time! This morning it’s still cloudy and overcast, the sun is attempting to break through, the forecast for the rest of the week and over the coming weekend is looking a lot better, it’s dry & sunny and getting warmer as the week goes on, watch this space.


See the picture below of the sunset yesterday evening over Colwyn Bay ( for Tim & Thea!)






For our supper this evening we are having cold ‘Roast Topside of English Beef ‘ – I cooked it ‘ Pink ‘ and it was very tasty & succulent, we will have a fry-up of the leftover vegetables along with the rest of the ‘ Goose Fat Roast potatoes; the ‘ Menus’ for the rest of week are in Brenda’s capable hands, she is making a ‘ Cottage Pie ' tomorrow, to be ready to use, the rest of the week is then TBC.

Yesterday evening after supper we settled down to watch the opening episode of the new series of “ Line of Duty’ on BBB TV; It was as thrilling as a roller coaster ride, killing (?) - the main character, a DCI, at the end of the episode, played by the Hollywood actress Thandie Newton. At the start a girl was hit by a car, kidnapped by a man in a balaclava and tied up in a house, that then exploded! 

The Detective is under pressure from above and arrests and charges a young retarded man, the local police forensics expert tried to alert her to doubts over the evidence, she didn’t listen so he shopped her to the ‘AC-12’ people, they took up in case and it then all kicked off, the detective faced off the forensic man and in a row at his house was knocked out, he then produced a balaclava from a kitbag, nipped out to a ‘DIY’ store and came back with plastic sheeting, power tools and a chainsaw, just as he was about to cut her up ... she woke up!! Is she alive or dead?!


So for now I’m not sure when I will be back online with the Blog, watch this space for the next news update!















Thoughts for the Day; See above.
