A DRY, CRISP & STILL SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 27^th/ APRIL 2017.

I was up first this morning to see ‘Reina’ back with us for the last day this week, she shot into her duvet, we then took ‘ Scruffy’ out for his first walk of the day, before breakfast, when we came back ‘ Chispa’ came crashing in and joined us all for breakfast, she was then taken off down to the local Vets to have her hair clipped, fingers crossed that they don’t ‘scalp’ her,  as usual!  ‘Scruffy’ slept on our bed and in his executive bed all night, he’s no problem and it’s a joy to have him with us here in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’- he was collected at lunchtime by Adrian & Rose.

I then shot along to the local bank in ‘Calle Mar’ to pay our electricity bill, it’s down by nearly 30%  as at the same time last year, month by month, this is due to when we changed to cooking on gas! Speaking of which, we have no hot water this morning, the gas boiler is not working, it looks like the igniter batteries have gone, I put new ones in but with no luck, I’ve called the engineer as you don’t mess with gas boilers! Now fixed, a faulty Gas Bottle with low gas pressure !! 

This morning, at the moment, it’s dry, cloudy and sunny, the forecast wet stuff has not yet appeared, there is a little breeze making it crisp, by lunchtime it due to reach the heady heights of around 22 degs, over the next two days it’s going to be cooler, wet & windy, then on Sunday it’s back to normal for the time of the year, warm & sunny, getting hotter during next week, watch this space.

This means that I’m going to get a little ‘ damp’ tomorrow morning when I go down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, it’s not a ‘ Bank Holiday’ weekend over here, hopefully the market at the end of the promenade will be open, last week it was closed because of the storms.

For our supper this evening we are having one of our favourites ‘ Grilled Chicken Wings ‘ with Baked Potato and finely sliced Green Beans, Friday is ‘Fish’ night and then on Saturday we will be having a ‘ Steak ‘ extravaganza, Sunday is still TBC, watch this space.

See below a picture of a 35oz - Dry Aged, ‘ Piedmontes Tomahawk Ribeye’ – if only!!

Two results from ‘ La Liga’ mid-week games, last night, Barcelona won 7-1 & Real Madrid won 2-6 – this evening over in the ‘ Premiere League ‘ it’s the ‘ Manchester Derby ‘ as Manchester City welcome Manchester Utd, I will try and watch it via my Internet connection late this evening.
