SATURDAY 15th/ JULY 2017.
We managed a little lie in this morning, ‘
Chico’ has slept all night, he’s very good, he gives Brenda a little lick/nudge
when he’s ready to go out, she took him around the park, when they came back we
had breakfast, Brenda’s famous ‘ Poached ‘ Campo’ Eggs on Toast with hot/strong
tea, Brown toast for Brenda and ‘ Chico’!
See ‘ Chico’ below after his breakfast.
Overnight it seems that we had a little
rain?! This morning it’s grey & overcast, not forecast, there is still mist
( fog?!) around and no sign of the sun breaking through, at the moment, it was
late afternoon, yesterday, before it just about cleared, it’s still very hot
& humid, we had another sticky night, tomorrow we are in for more of the
same, next week is picking up, cloudy at the start and then back to the hot
sunshine in the mid 30s, watch this space.
See the picture below of the ‘ Disney Magic
‘ berthed at Liverpool on Friday and then leaving up the River Mersey.
‘Victor’ our Dentist, was very good
yesterday, he fitted us both in without notice and sorted Brenda’s problem out
and gave me a good check up & clean, all at no charge, he is from Argentina,
his brother is the Dentist in Casares, the next white village above sunny
Manilva, a few years ago Victor opened the first restaurant in the village, he
then moved it to the ‘Manilva Green Aparthotel’
- we were regular customers, he is also a International ‘BBQ’ Judge’!
Over the weekend down in ‘ Castillo de la
Duquesa ‘it’s the annual ‘Feria’ concluding on Sunday with the ‘ Virgen Del Carmen’ ( the Patron saint of
Fishermen) Festival, then at the end of the month here in sunny Manilva we have
the ‘Feria’ and the processions &
festival of ‘ Verbana De Santa Ana ‘ ( the Patron saint of the village !)
Speaking of food this evening we are having
‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks ‘ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’ and
left to rest, as Brenda is now back on solid foods, with seared Asparagus
Spears & Button Mushrooms, finely sliced Green Beans and of course
twice-cooked ‘ Frits’ On Sunday its now going to be ‘ Pan-Seared Escalopes of
Turkey Breast ‘ with a savoury Rice and a creamy Mushroom sauce on the side.
This afternoon we are making contact with
our new dear friends over in Canada, Sandra & Bill, on the Skype video, we
talk on Facebook messenger during the week and arrange a time to fit in with their
busy lives, they are six hours behind, so we are calling at 4-00 pm here, 10-00
am there, we will have a good catch up with all their news after their trip to ‘
Long Island ‘ last weekend. The countdown is on-going to their arrival down
here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ and sunny Manilva at the end of September!
Then we will be watching the
Final of the ‘ Ladies Tennis ‘ from Wimbledon as Venus Williams player the
Spanish lady Garbine Muguruza, at the same time I will be following the ‘ Tour
De France ‘ Stage 14 from Blagnac to Rodez over 181 kms, a hilly stage, there
was no change in the overall standings yesterday ‘ Chris Froome ‘ is waiting
for the rate moment to attack.
See below the route and maps;
Later we will catch up with the qualifying for
the ‘ British Grand Prix ‘ from Silverstone. Watch this space.
This evening after supper we will find a
movie to watch on the ‘ Kodi’ Film channel before taking ‘ Chico’ out for his
last walk of the day, last night we sat outside on a bench in ‘ Calle Mar ‘ taking in the sights, sounds
& aromas of the village, all the bars were doing great business as the
locals with their family’s come out to eat & drink in the cooler night air
after 10- 00 pm!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
