A VERY CRISP & SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 30^th/ APRIL 2017.

We had a nice lie in this morning until the church bells started calling the faithful, after our tea & toast with fresh fruit we sorted ourselves out for the day ahead, we have no plans, we are just taking things very easy, it’s a ‘Bank Holiday’ weekend over here as well - ‘ Labour Day ‘ on Monday, we have a ‘ busy’ week ahead, by our standards, with appointments etc every day.

Overnight the wind blew the rain away, this morning its clear & crisp with a stiff breeze, the sky is clearing and the clouds have gone, by lunchtime it will reach the low 20s as the sun breaks through, next week its forecast to be warm & sunny, getting a little hotter as the week goes on, next weekend is also fine, watch this space.

Just a quick sports update; Barcelona won 0-3 ( sorry Mano !) Real Madrid won 2-1, so no change at the top of the ‘ La Liga’ – Murray lost & Nadal won in the ‘Barcelona Open’ Tennis semi-finals. Lewis Hamilton is only 4^th of the grid with the two Ferrari’s on a front row lock-out at the ‘ Russian Grand Prix over in Sochi. Meanwhile over at Wembley in front of a 90,000 crowd Anthony Joshua stopped Wladimir Klitschko in the 11^th round after being knocked down in the 6^th round!

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Medallions of Pork Fillet ‘ cooked on the griddle plate, with a sharp/piquant ‘ Charcutiere ‘ sauce on the side, assorted vegetables and my version of ‘ Breton’ potatoes, boiled/diced potatoes tossed in butter with sautéed diced Onions, Red & Green Peppers and chopped Parsley. 

See below;

Then on Monday evening, using the rest of the ‘Fillet of Pork’ it’s going to be ‘ Escalopes of Pork Schnitzels’ –  coated with breadcrumbs from the local bakery with ‘Spaghetti Milanese ‘ – tossed in my famous Tomato sauce with strips of Smoked Ham.

This evening after supper we will settle down to watch the final episode of the very gripping ‘ Line of Duty ‘ on BBC 1, is it set to end in a shattering shootout?! Who is ‘ Balaclava Man ‘ ?! All will be revealed, watch this space.

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
