A STILL WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 29^th/ JUNE 2017.

We all had a nice lie in this morning as ‘Reina’ is not with us, she’s not back until Monday, for four days, as Lee & Daniela’s shift patterns have changed, ‘Scooby’ slept all night on his rug, he’s very good, no problem to look after, he’s a real character and good company and gets on with all the other dogs, ‘ Chispa’ is in and out, all the time, as usual, the village, at this time of the year, is very quiet, the children have finished school, the deliveries are later and the church bells don’t start until lunchtime!

We are taking things easy today, doing nothing in particular, some chores around the house, after our normal breakfast of toast & tea we got the shopping list ready for my trip down to Sabinillas tomorrow morning, on my travels, for the weekly shopping, I’m catching the local bus as it’s easier then getting the car out of the square, there is still no sign of the underground car park re-opening, watch this space.

This morning  the sun was out early and the sky is bright blue with no clouds, as the stiff ‘ Levante’ breeze is still blowing, it keeps it just a little bit cooler, on the shady side of the streets, it’s hovering on the 29 degs mark, a little cooler over the weekend, then next week it’s picking up again, watch this space.

At the moment we have two maintenance men here checking the gas boiler ( Hot Water) which is not working and at the same time the shutter on our bedroom window which is not opening, it’s a new one, I only rang an hour ago to report the problems, watch this space. Both fixed – ‘ RESULT’ !!

We went out at lunchtime along to ' Bar Castillo' for a nice cool drink and Tapas, we had 'Tortiillatas Camarones - Shrimp Fritters, Boquerones Fritos- Deep fried Anchovey's  and Merluza Frito -Hake Fillets in Tampura Batter ' with ' Frits' ! Mano came along and joined us, Carlos and his cousin Tom also said hello, then some other friends joined us.

We have not heard from the ‘ Moffatt’s’ over in Old Colwyn, North Wales, for a little while, Tim & Thea are due back to Spain later in the year, when we will no doubt catch up with them again in sunny Mojacar.

PS, Don’t forget to keep the postcards coming when you are out & about, around the World!

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Grilled Chicken Wings ‘ with a Baked Potato and the rest of the ‘Russian ‘ salad.

Last night we ended up channel hopping, so this evening after supper we will find a film to watch, during the afternoon Brenda is watching the Ladies Tennis from Eastbourne.
