A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 15^th JUNE 2017

I was up to see ‘Reina’ back with us for the day, we then all had a lie in until the gas-bottle delivery man came down our street blowing his horn on the lorry! After our normal breakfast of fresh fruit, toast & tea we got the shopping list ready for tomorrow, when I’m out on my travels down in Sabinillas.

Next week ‘ Reina’ is with us for only three days as it’s a Bank Holiday in Gibraltar on Monday and Lee has a change of shift patterns on Wednesday, the following week in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ we have ‘ Scooby’ coming back with us for ten days, from the Monday, he joined us last year.


See below a view this morning taken from the ferry as it leaves the 'landing stage ' at Liverpool on a fine day!

This morning is already very hot & sunny, there is no breeze so by lunchtime it will be 30degs+ - the forecast for parts of inland Andalucia is to reach the 40degs+ mark, the region is on ‘Orange’ alert, over the weekend it’s going to be hotter, next week is also looking very warm & sunny, not dropping below 21 degs at night and during the day the same as this week, watch this space.

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Grilled Chicken Wings’ with ‘ Hasselback’ Potatoes, using 'Duck Fat ' with a nice Mixed Salad on the side. See below;

Tomorrow night for a change we are having ‘ Grilled Prawns a la Plancha ‘ ( cooked on sea-salt ) – then on Saturday it’s ‘ Steak Night’ – finally on Sunday we will not be roasting, watch this space.

See below two pictures from the past of ' Exchange Station'  on Tithbarn Street,in Liverpool, the steam train is leaving for Glasgow (1965)  -the taxi-rank is from 1977 and the ' way-out'!

And " Hobbies Toy Shop " in Tarleton Street were my Dad bought all my train sets that he built and set up in my bedroom, around my bed and the walls on a raised scenic layout.

We are now in full ‘hot’ mode, all the fans are on as we move around, as least as possible, the windows are open, very un-Spanish, just one light sheet on the bed, drinking lots of water, relaxing and doing nothing, watching for the creepy crawler’s & mosquito’s, this will last until the start of September!

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
