A MILD & SUNNY MANILVA ON FRIDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

FRIDAY 17^th / MARCH 2017     “ ST PATRICK'S DAY “

We were both up early this morning and after ‘Reina’ arrived for the day I took ‘TJ’ out for his first walk of the day, he’s being collected this afternoon,  we managed a quick cup of tea & toast, as the workmen arrived back to finish the job on the drains, they have rebuilt the drain walls and put a new larger pipe into the system, they have also replaced the new inspection cover and resealed it with silicon, job done, fingers crossed, watch this space.

I popped along to the Chemists in Call Mar for some of my prescription tablets and also got some cash out of the local Bank machine, I’m  now out & about on my travels tomorrow morning for the weekly shopping down in Sabinillas.

It’s started a little grey & overcast but the sun is attempting to break through, the wind has dropped, it’s now fresh and a little warmer and by this afternoon it’s due to reach 20 degs, again, over the weekend it’s back to normal for the time of the year, warm & sunny, next week is also looking settled with just the threat of some of the wet stuff by the weekend, watch this space.

At lunchtime it’s the draw for the next round of the ‘ Champions & Europa League’ – this afternoon we will be watching the racing from the ‘ Cheltenham Festival ’ with the ‘Gold Cup’ the main race, yesterday the Irish jockey Ruby Walsh & the trainer Willy Mullins won 4 races, the first time this happened, on the same day, at the festival.

This evening for our supper we are having ‘Fillets of Hake ‘ deep-fried in a ‘ Cruzcampo Batter’ with Homemade ‘ Tartar ‘ sauce on the side with lots of Lemon Wedges, Mushy Green Peas and of course twice-cooked ‘ Chips’ On Saturday evening its ‘ Steak Night’ with all the trimmings and then on Sunday I’m making my famous ‘ Smoked Chicken & Three Green Bean Risotto ‘

We are having one of our ‘ Quiz Nights’ as we catch ‘ Countdown, Pointless, Egg Heads, University Challenge & Only Connect ‘ – later we will try and find a good film to watch, we can’t wait for our ‘Fiber-Optic’ connection to be installed and then the new ‘Black Box’ giving us a lot more choice, watch this space.

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
