A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA, WITH A COOL BREEZE, ON WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY 9th/ AUGUST 2017.




























I was up early this morning to welcome back little princess ‘ Reina’ for the day, she’s also now going to be with us on Saturday evening, she shot upstairs and we all went back to bed for a little sleep in the cool of the morning, after another very hot & sticky night, we were then disturbed by a Council workman with his drill digging up the concrete around the ‘Natural Well Water Tap’ in the side street by the house, they are renewing the pipe work and the tap, watch this space.

Sadly there is still no sign of the ‘ Movistar ‘ workers installing the Fiber Optic cables down out street to the house, as promised this week, watch this space.

For our breakfast we had ‘ Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties ‘ – open on Brown for Brenda, with mugs of ‘PG Tips’ For our supper this evening I’m making later ‘ Braised Steak in a Mushroom & Onion Red Wine Sauce ‘ – the braising steak is sliced ‘top grade’ beef, with it we are having finely sliced Green Beans, Carrot batons and Parsley New Potatoes.






Yesterday evening as Lee & Daniela collected ‘ Reina’ they gave us a lift down to the surgery, as we had our regular appointment with the Chiropodist, Carmen, just as they shot-off we found a notice on the door telling us that she had broken her hand and therefore was not available! We walked back and bumped into Adrian & Rose with Scruffy outside ‘Bar Castillo’ – we stopped and had a cool drink with them, ‘ Scruffy’ is going to be with us one evening next week.

The sun was out early this morning and the sky is clear & blue, there is a nice cool breeze, as forecast, so it’s going to be a little cooler today, only 32 degs+ - the rest of the week is also going cooler by the day, over the weekend it will be down to 27/28 degs! Next week is now picking up and going back into the mid 30s, watch this space.


See below a picture of the waterfront in Liverpool last night.








The ‘ Amazon Fire TV Stick ‘ on the BBC is working again so we our catching up with the programmes that we have missed, we have now seen the final episode of this year’s series of ‘Poldark ‘ – he will return!! Ross flirted with danger ,what’s next for him and Demelza?! Sabotage, suspicion and rebellion was the theme, the nasty George getting even nastier before he broke down when Elizabeth  threatened to leave him. Demelza succumbed to her young admirer in the sand dunes but ended up back in bed with Ross at the end?! The ‘ Frenchies’ were spotted on the horizon, but didn’t arrive. The randy Vicar got his comeuppance! The local yokels rebelled but were stopped by Ross before a massacre occurred, finally will Ross become the MP in the next series, watch this space.


Meanwhile the coverage on BBC 1/2 has been very comprehensive, to say the least, even over the top, last night about the ‘very virulent’ Norovirus outbreak at the “ World Athletics Championships “ from London.

















Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
