A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 1st/ JUNE 2017.


















To follow;




WEDNESDAY 31st/ MAY 2017.



As you can see we have been off-line for the day as the ‘ Painter/Decorator ‘ Pepe, arrived at 9-00am and commenced to strip out the office/studio, main bedroom & the bathroom, ready to scrape, treat and the re-decorate after all the damp & water damage, he has done a marvellous job, on the ceiling in the bathroom, all the bedroom and the office/studio, he is now downstairs ( Thursday ) doing the same to the main lounge.

At lunchtime I went down to the surgery for my appointment with the nurse for my 'ECG' - I had to wait for nearly an hour as a lady was rushed in, not looking very well, and put on the machine, 

We then kept out of the way, we ended up watching back-to back movies during the afternoon on the ‘ Kodi ‘ film channel “ John Wick, John Wick: Chapter2 “ – neo-noir action thrillers starring Keanu Reeves, as the retired hit-man and Ian McShane as the ‘ Manager’ – if action is what you like then theses two movies are a must watch!


This morning ‘ Reina ‘ was dropped off first thing by Lee, we then had ‘ Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ smothered in ‘ HP ‘Sauce with mugs of steaming tea to set us up for the day ahead, we then put the office/ studio and bedroom back together, cleaning & dusting, re-hanging etc, later we will have to sort out the main lounge, Mario,Jnr, is due in the afternoon for his  ‘English’ speaking lesson, we will go in the kitchen out of the way.

For our supper this evening we are having the rest of the ‘ Brochettes of Marinated Pork ‘ – which we had last night with ‘Basmati Rice’ - this time with twice-cooked ‘ Frits’ – my famous ‘ Tomato’ salsa on the side, I made them yesterday lunchtime, diced marinated Pork, slices of Onion, Red & Green Peppers, Smoked Bacon, Shallots & diced Mushrooms, then carefully cooked on a very hot griddle plate, turning them all the time!







The sun was out early, again this morning, the sky is bright blue and cloudless, there is a little breeze making it still very pleasant, overnight the temperatures are hovering on the 20 degs mark, and during the day reaching 26/27degs, over the weekend it’s going hotter, 29/30 degs just in time for our trip up to ‘ Alhaurin el Grande ‘ to see our dear friend Joyce’ Baby on Saturday, next week its getting hotter, watch this space.














Tomorrow morning I’m out on my travels down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping.



















Thoughts for the Day; See above.
