A VERY ' CRISP' AND SUNNY DAY IN MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK.

MONDAY 15^th/ JANUARY 2018.

I was up early this morning to welcome back little princess ‘Reina’ for the day, she shot into her duvet as her place on the bed was taken by ‘ Chico’ She’s with on Tuesday, Thursday & Friday this week, ‘Chico’ is due to be collected tomorrow morning, we will miss him, he’s back with us in February, then tomorrow evening the new dog ‘ Charlie’ is being dropped off for a week, we then have a surprise guest in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ as on Wednesday morning ‘ Scruffy’ is being dropped off for 2/3 days as Rose has been called into Hospital for a operation, at short notice, he knows Charlie & Reina so things will be OK!  Watch this space.

After taking ‘ Chico’ for his first walk of the day we had our regular breakfast of ‘ Weetabix’ toast & tea, I then shot along to the local Bank in ‘Calle Mar’ to pay the electricity bill, this morning there are lots of workmen in the street, they are putting in all the drains/water mains  etc, at the moment, after the rain of last week it’s still a bit muddy/dusty along the pavements.

The sun was out early this morning and the sky is bright blue, there is just a very slight breeze so it’s very ‘crisp’ but warm on the sunny side of the street, a beautiful day, by lunchtime reaching 13 degs, overnight it’s 7/8 degs, the rest of the week and over the coming weekend we are in for more of the same, getting a little warmer each day, hovering on the 17/18 degs mark, no sign of any of the wet stuff, so far, making it very pleasant for the time of the year, watch this space.

Yesterday evening we had a nice long chat/news catch up with Sandra & Bill over in Everett, Ontario, Canada on the updated ‘ Skype’ video system, the pictures were a lot clearer and the sound quality was excellent with no ‘ delay/feed-back’ – they are both very well and making plans for the year ahead, including a holiday down here in sunny Manilva in October, they are considering renting an apartment, this time down on the beach in Sabinillas, watch this space!

This evening for our supper we are having “ Cold Roast Topside of Beef “ – we love ‘ cold-cuts’ of roast meats, the Beef is ‘ pink’ and juicy and very tasty, with it we will have all the left-over vegetables & potatoes, the ‘ Menu’s’ for the rest of the week are TBC, watch this space.

Last night after supper we watched the next episode of “ McMafia “ on ‘BBC TV 1’ – only two killings this week as the plot thickens, all done via the evil ‘WWW’! It’s all getting rather exciting with double crosses, drug heists, smuggled heroin, global transfers on funds, family intrigue, hackers, etc, watch this space.

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
