A VERY ' CRISP' BUT STILL SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY.

SATURDAY 18^th/ NOVEMBER 2017.

We had a nice lie in this morning as the village, at this time of the year, is very quiet, no children playing, no church bells ringing, no delivery men dragging the pallets down the street, no traffic, no neighbours gossiping etc, for our breakfast I had ‘ Campo Fried Eggs with Crispy Smoked Bacon ‘ with buttered toast, while Brenda had an open on brown ‘Bacon Butty’- both with mugs of steaming ‘ PG Tips’!

Brenda is washing/shampooing her hair later while I’m up in the office/ studio on the ‘ WWW’  checking the E-Mails & facebook messages etc, after reading the news and newspapers, as you can see I’m then typing and posting today’s Blog!

Yesterday we received our first ‘Xmas’ card! – thanks Zoe & Graham over in Manchester, as they say ‘ your’s’ will be in the post!

This morning has started a little grey & overcast but the sun is now breaking through and the sky is clearing, by lunchtime it’s going to be back in the low 20s, there is a little breeze still keeping it cooler in the shade, tomorrow and into next week we are in for more of the same,  hovering on 13/14 degs during the night, watch this space.

For this evenings supper we are having ‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks ‘ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’ then left to rest, garnished with seared Asparagus Spears & Button Mushrooms, with for a change, a sauceboat of a creamy ‘Green Pepper Berry’ sauce, accompanied with Whole Green Beans and of course twice-cooked ‘ Chips’ – tomorrow evening it’s my famous ‘ Smoked Chicken & Three Green Bean Risotto ‘

On the sports front this weekend we will be following all sorts of sport; over in the ‘ Premier League ‘ Liverpool are at home to Southampton, Everton go down the M1 to play Crystal Palace and Manchester City have the shorter journey down the M6  to Leicester City, over here in ‘ La Liga’ lowly Leganes welcome Barcelona and in Madrid it’s the ‘ Derby ‘ game as Real Madrid go across the city to play Atletico Madrid at their new stadium, we will be watching the Rugby League World Cup & The Rugby Union Internationals as well as the Tennis from the ‘ 02 Arena’ in London, finally this afternoon there is Horse Racing, over the jumps, from Cheltenham!

Last night we channel hopped and after supper and ended up watching the ‘ Children in Need ‘ programmes on BB TV 1/2.
