A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK.

MONDAY 7th/ AUGUST 2017.




























We had an extra lie in this morning as last night we had a message from Daniela saying that she wouldn’t be dropping ‘ Reina’ off today, she’s back with us on Tuesday & Wednesday this week, ‘ Chispa’ has already called in to see her friend, it was another very hot & clammy night, with not much sleep possible, after freshening up we had our regular breakfast of ‘ Weetabix, toast & tea.

I then went along to our butchers for something for this evenings supper, I bought some ‘ Escalopes of Chicken Breast’ – he takes the breast off the ‘local’ bird, then slices it, I also bought some Calves Liver, sliced thinly, for another day along with Chicken Wings.





For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Chicken Schnitzels ‘ using breadcrumbs from the local Bakery, Diamond- Cut Broad Beans, twice-cooked ‘ Stringfellows ‘ – the ‘ Schnitzels’ are served ‘ Holstein’ style, topped with Anchovy Fillets & Capers and a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg – resting on a pool of Tomato salsa.

This morning it’s already very hot & sunny, by lunchtime it will be in the 30s, tomorrow is going to very hot, raising to 36/38 degs, over the next few days and the weekend it’s going to be a bit cooler, hovering on the high 20s! Watch this space.







This morning our regular ‘Pensions Transfers’ into our ‘Spanish’ Bank Acc, over the next three weeks, started, sadly the ‘Euro’ is today at its’ lowest rate ( 1.10750!) since we arrived down here back in 2006, not good news as this month our yearly ‘Annuities’ arrive in our ‘English’ Bank Acc over in Colwyn Bay, waiting to be transferred along with the monthly ones! Watch this space.

On Facebook yesterday we noticed that the son of very old friends was down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ on his holidays, staying just past Marbella, we made contact with ‘ Vic ‘ Ferns and he’s coming across tomorrow morning to sunny Manilva, his parents Vic & Val were very dear friends, back in the late 60s – early 70s,the last time we saw him and his mum was when we were over in the ‘ Isle of Man’ – where they then lived. We are looking forward to catching up with his life since then!


Sadly over the weekend we still have no ‘BBC TV’ –  the ‘Amazon Fire TV Stick’ is still not cooperating, when it happened a few weeks ago it came back on after a few days, we will then go on the ‘BBC I Player’ to catch up with the last episode of ‘Poldark’ etc! Watch this space.
















Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
