A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 25^th/ MAY 2017.

I was up first this morning to see ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, we then freshened up before our usual light breakfast of toast & tea, we then put together the shopping list for tomorrow morning when I’m out on my travels down in Sabinillas, I have to call into our Bank, first, as I need to finalize the new Savings Account.

When I return tomorrow I will be parking the car in the small square next to the ‘ Mayor’- Mario’s, house, where we have a ‘ Historical’ parking space, I’ve spoken to the other neighbours, this evening his son, also Mario, is back with us for his ‘ English’ speaking class. The underground car park complex is due to close on Monday morning. Watch this space.

On Saturday afternoon we are going down to ‘ Castillo de la Duquesa’ for the ‘ X1 International Meeting & Family Day’ as I’m presenting a ‘ Live Broadcast’ on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’ with my classic show “ ‘Sir Malcolm’s Saturday Classic’ – just for one hour, time to be confirmed, watch this space.

We are in for another hot day, today, the sun was out early and the sky has cleared, there is no breeze so by lunchtime it will reach the mid 20s – tomorrow it’s forecast to be 29 degs, with more to come over the weekend, next week is looking hot & sunny reaching the high 20s, all the time, watch this space.

See below some pictures taken this morning, by our friend, Nigel Roberts, of " Conwy Castle & the River Conwy  and the high street with the ' Black Lion Inn ' 1589!

This evening we are having for our supper ‘ Pie & Chips’ – the rest of the ‘ Chicken & Mushroom ‘ Tarragon’ Pie ‘ with twice-cooked ‘ Chips ‘ & Garden Peas, Friday is ‘Fish Night’ and on Saturday it’s ‘ Steak Night’ – on Sunday we are having ‘Grilled ‘ Barnsley’ Lamb Chops’ resting on ‘ Boulangere’ Potatoes.


See below today's ' Tapas ' display in  ' Andreas ' " Bodegan Andaluz " - two doors down our street from our house.

Andreas has just dropped off some Tapas to have with our ' Happy Hour ' drinks - ' Cremoso de Ibericos - Creamed Iberica Ham ' 

Yesterday afternoon we settled down to watch on the ‘ Kodi’ Film Channel’ on the ‘ Amazon Fire TV Stick ‘ the “ The Hateful Eight “ a revisionist Western/ Mystery Film written & Directed by Quentin Tarantino, with a music score by Ennio Morricone and starring Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russel, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, Michael Madison, Channin Tatum & Bruce Dern,  as eight strangers  seek refuge from a blizzard in a stagecoach stopover, sometime after the ‘ American Civil War’ It’s a ‘ Helluva ‘ movie in the traditional ‘ Tarantino’ style, watch it at your peril!!

After supper we watched the  ‘ Europa League ‘ Final in Stockholm, on the ‘ First Row Sports Channel ‘ via my PC, as Manchester Utd beat Ajax 0-2 and qualify for the ‘ Champions League’ next season. ‘ Mr Mourinho’ was a very happy man!  It was also a great result for the city of Manchester after Monday’s terrorist suicide bombing.
