I was up first this morning to see little
princess ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, she shot into her duvet and we then
freshened ourselves up and grabbed a quick toast & tea before walking down
to the ‘Wine Centre’ to catch the local bus down to Sabinillas, Brenda went for
the extra shopping to ‘ Super-Sol’ and I walked to our Bank to arrange the
accounts to pay for the repairs to the car, I then dropped into the main
Council offices to check on the coach trip times to go and see the Malaga ‘Xmas’
lights on Tuesday, 4-00 pm outside the ‘Wine Centre’!
I jumped into a taxi and on the way back up,
to a not so sunny Manilva, collected Brenda from outside the supermarket. We
then sorted things out back at the house, last night I shot down to our local
Butchers in ‘Calle Inglasie’ for the diced Beef for tomorrow night’s Curry, I
then, later this morning, made a nice ‘
Comfort Soup’ by blitzing the leftover ‘Hotpot’ with a little Vegetables &
Chicken stock.
While I was out, last night, there was some action in ‘Bar
Rojas’ – it was being cleaned out by a couple with their children, it looks
like they could be the new tenants, I will check with Lumy, when we see her! I
also bumped into our friend Araceli and ordered 3 large Pointsettia’s’ from her,
she sells them to locals for Charity. Finally last night I checked on the progress
of the Contractors ‘JCB’- they have cleared the street up ‘ Bar Castillo’ and
this morning are working their way towards the top of our street, watch this
space.
Just as we set off this morning it was cold
& overcast and a light drizzle had just started, it looks like it’s in for
the day, no sign of the sunshine breaking through, over the next couple of days
we are in for more rain getting heavy at times, then on Friday and over the
weekend it’s back to normal for the time of the year, hovering on the 16/19
degs mark, overnight down to possibly 4/7 degs during the night, next week is hopefully dry & sunny leading
up to the ‘ Manilva Gastronomic Food Festival’ on Friday/Saturday 8/9th
December, watch this space.
For our supper this evening it’s going to
be ‘Pan-Seared Medallions of Pork Fillet ‘ accompanied with a sauceboat of a
creamy ‘Green Peppercorn ‘ sauce, with Whole Green Beans and ‘Saute’ Potatoes
using diced Baby New potatoes, tomorrow morning I’m going to make a large pan
of my now famous ‘ Beef & Mushroom Curry ‘ for our ‘ 46th Wedding Anniversary’ supper!
After lunch today we will settle down to watch
all the ‘Quiz’ shows that we follow and then after supper ‘channel hop’ to find
something to watch, we are spoilt for choice with over 500 hundred channels to
check out!
