A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY DESPITE THE ' SEA MIST'

SATURDAY 28^th/ OCTOBER 2017.

We all had a little lie in this morning before ‘ Charlie’ jumped on the bed to let us know that it was time to go out for the first walk of the day, they both slept all night, ‘Charlie’ downstairs, wherever he wants and ‘ Lolo ‘ on his bed by the side of us. Later we are planning to go for a long walk with them around the sports ground.

When we returned we had breakfast, a treat this morning, of ‘English Pork Sausage’ Butties smothered in ‘ HP ‘Brown sauce – as usual, open on Brown for Brenda, I cooked the sausages last night, then after a quick ‘ flash’ in the Microwave ( yes we do have one and use it !) I slice them in halve & make the toasted butty, with mugs of strong ‘ PG Tips’ tea!

This morning stared a little grey & overcast, but it’s now cleared and the sun has broken through, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 22/23 degs, the same tomorrow and Monday but now on Tuesday there is some of the wet stuff  has appeared on the forecast, still in the mid 20s, so it will be warm! By next Friday it will be back to normal for the time of the year, warm & sunny in the mid 20s, watch this space.

See below a picture taken by a neighbour down our street with our house on the left – ‘Flower Street ' 

‘

PS; Just now, as we were watering the wall plants, a sea mist has covered the village, it’s grey, overcast and cool, watch this space.

At the moment we are having some problems with our ‘ Internet ‘ connections, it keeps going off & then back on, which means that the new TV system is not loading, I’ve tried all the re-connection procedures, with no luck, so hopefully Lee is going to call in later this morning to see if he can solve the problem, watch this space.

PS; Lee called in and has fixed the problem, with lots of re-setting of passwords, upgrading the system, and finally the classic ' un-plug ' and re-connect! 

For our supper this evening we are having a large ‘ Grilled Entrecote Steak’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare ‘ and then left to rest, before slicing it into ‘ fingers’ French style, garnished with Asparagus spears & Button Mushrooms, finely sliced Green Beans on the side and of course twice-cooked ‘ Pont Neuf’ Chips ( door steps!) – all served with Dijon Mustard & ‘ Bearnaise’ sauce.

On Sunday it’s going to be ‘ Roast Top Side of Beef ‘ with all the trimmings. Lee & Daniela are joining us for supper, again,thanks for all Lee's help.

On the sports front this weekend, it’s the ‘ Grand Prix of Mexico ‘ when Lewis Hamilton could be crowned the Champion, depending on results, over in the ‘ Premier League ‘ Liverpool are at home to Huddersfield and Manchester City travel down the M6 to play West Brom, over here in ‘ La Liga ‘ Barcelona travel across to Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid are due to play Girona ( in Catalonia ) depending on the Independence crisis! Watch this space.

This evening we will have to wait and see if the new system is back online, if not we are back to the all the Spanish TV Channels searching for a good film to watch.( in English!)

PS, The gas bottle delivery man has just called and exchanged the bottle, all our neighbours had theirs out also, he came along the bottom of the street and confirmed that he will be calling as usual while ‘ Calle Mar ‘ is closed!

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
