A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY 3^rd/ MAY 2017.

We were both up early this morning, Brenda was catching the local bus down to Sabinillas to go for her appointment with her hairdresser, Annie, for the full works, I meanwhile welcomed back ‘ Reina’ for the day, before she left we had ‘ Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties ‘ – open for Brenda, with mugs of hot tea.

Brenda is also calling into the ‘ English Bookshop’ for a ‘ Wedding Card ‘ as Matt & Michelle are finally tying the knot next Monday lunchtime over in Preston, at the registry office and then the pub, at noon, they told us when they were here in sunny Manilva for Xmas, we wish them a very ‘Happy Day’ and all the very best for the future with their lovely family.

On the way home she’s stopping at ‘ Super Sol’ for the English essentials before catching the local bus back up to the village at lunchtime. Meanwhile I’m up in the office/studio on the ‘WWW’

The sun broke through early this morning and sky is clear, there is a light breeze but it’s 23/24 degs & rising, 14 degs during the night, the rest of the week and over the weekend into next week is looking warm & settled, getting hotter, the threat of the wet stuff has gone way, watch this space.


See the promenade down in Sabinillas this morning.

Last night, after mid-night, the final overhead part of the new footbridge arrived down in Sabinillas, it was lifted and installed across the main A7, Mediterranean Motorway, by the roundabout by ‘ La Noria/Lidl ‘ -  the footbridge looks rather smart, the locals have been waiting for many years for this to happen, the Mayor, our neighbour, Mario, was there with all the other Councillors, as you can see in the pictures below.

Today also happens to be ‘ Mario’s birthday – ‘ Feliz Cumpleaños ‘ – his eldest son, Mario, called in yesterday evening to ask us if he could come back with us for some more  ' English’ speaking lessons as he’s due to re-take his exam in June, he’s joining us next week on Tuesday & Thursday evening.

This evening for our supper we are keeping it simple,  ‘ Chicken & Chips ‘ – not in the ‘ Basket ‘! ‘Flattened Chicken Breast ‘ a la ‘Plancha’ ( Griddle Plate )  with twice-cooked ‘ Chips ‘ & Garden Peas. Tomorrow evening our fried, Andy, is joining us for supper, we are having the full ‘ Roast’ – ‘ Loin of Pork ‘ with all the trimmings, starters & dessert, watch this space.

After speaking to Lee & Daniela yesterday evening, when they collected ‘ Reina’ - they are this evening installing an ‘ Amazon TV Fire Stick’ onto our large screen TV, they checked it last night to make sure that it had the necessary ‘ports’ and that the currant ‘ Jazztel ‘ single is strong enough, at the same time they are installing ‘ Smart Apps ‘ ( DNA etc )  – hopefully we will be able to be back on air with the ‘English’ TV Channels, as well as lots of other ‘ Goodies’ Watch this space.

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
