A STORMY AND VERY WET SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY.

SATURDAY 10^th/ MARCH 2018.

We had a well earned lie in this morning, ‘ Scruffy’ stayed for the night and slept in his executive bed all night, this morning he, as usual, joined us on the bed, for a little cuddle, he’s being collected this evening after Rose comes back from the Hospital, I have made her a individual ‘ Fish Pie’ for her supper this evening!

Adrian had his new hip-operation/check yesterday and will be in for another 4/5 days, ‘ Scruffy’ will be back with us tomorrow and then on Monday, when ‘ Chico’ is returning for another two-week holiday with us here in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’- as well of course, little princess ‘Reina’ for her normal 4 days,  after freshening up we took ‘ Scruffy’ for his first walk of the day, Brenda popped into the local ‘Fruit & Vegetable’ shop, owned by the ex-Mayor, and found some fresh Peas in the pod and Baby Turnips, when we returned we had our normal, light, breakfast of ‘ Weetabix’ fresh fruit, toast & tea.

This morning has started grey & overcast with the threat of rain in the air, later, as there are black clouds on the horizon, there is a slight breeze blowing also, it’s still very mild with the overall temperatures hovering on the 17/18 degs+ mark for now, tomorrow is the same and then next week it’s now looks like we are in for another unsettled few days, with the sun trying to break through later in the week, watch this space.

PS, A severe rain storm has now hit us as I’ve been typing/posting the today’s Blog!!

A busy weekend ahead of sport; over in the ‘Premier League’ the early kick-off is Manchester Utd at home to Liverpool, who have the short journey up the East Lancashire Road, Everton had the long journey down to play Brighton, on Monday Stoke welcome Manchester City, a short trip down the M6 for City! Over here in ‘ La Liga’ Barcelona are down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol ‘ to play our local team Malaga, meanwhile Real Madrid travel to the ‘ Basque’ region to play Eibar.

In the ‘ Six Nations Rugby Union’ Ireland welcome Scotland over in Dublin, France meanwhile welcome England to Paris, tomorrow Wales are at home to Italy, the ‘ National Hunt Racing’ this afternoon is from Sandown Park, next week it’s the ‘ Cheltenham Festival’ from Tuesday to Friday, with the excellent coverage on ‘ITV’ of the greatest race meeting in the World!

This evening for our supper we are having a large ‘Entrecote Steak’ grilled on the bone, on a very hot griddle-plate ‘Med-Rare’- then left to rest, before carving it into slices ‘French’ style, garnished with seared Asparagus Spear & Button Mushrooms, with a sauceboat of the classic ‘ Bearnaise’ sauce, served with Whole Baby Green Beans and the old-classic ‘ Pommes Pont Neuf’ - the twice-cooked ‘ Chips’ – the ‘ Grandaddy’ of French Fries – that used to be served at the now closed ‘ Chez Clovis’- next to Paris’s “ Pont Neuf “ ( New Bridge) – in fact the oldest one!

Tomorrow on Sunday, for ‘ Mother’s Day ‘ we are having a ‘ Roast Top Side of Beef ’( Boned & Rolled ) with all the trimmings.

This evening after supper we will channel hop and find something to watch, there is a new ‘Danish’ thriller is starting on ‘BBC Four’ – watch this space.
