A VERY WET & WINDY SUNNY MANILVA ON FRIDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND.


FRIDAY 2nd/ MARCH 2018.



























We had a little lie in this morning as I decided not to go out on my travels down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, I will go tomorrow morning instead, when hopefully, as forecast, it’s not so bad! After a quick freshen up I wrapped up in the waterproofs and braved the elements as I took ‘ ‘Scooby’ out for his first walk of the day, when we returned ‘ Scooby ‘ was rubbed-down by Brenda, on the large bath towel, with vigour, meanwhile I was dripping onto the marble-tiled floor!

The only consolation was that Brenda welcomed me back with a ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’ and a mug of steaming tea! This afternoon ‘ Charlie’ is due to be dropped off, for his short break, until Monday, perfect weather for him, as he’s a ‘ Water Dog ‘!


Overnight the rain and storms returned, with a vengeance, the wind is very strong and has not stopped since, it’s grey & overcast with stormy clouds overhead, the rain is lashing in, it’s the second ‘Atlantic’ weather front to hit us, the first one, ‘Emma’ is now hitting the UK after the ‘ Beast from the East’ – the whole region, as well as Spain in on ‘Yellow/Orange’ alert, as you can see in the map below; the weekend is not looking as bad, but next week we are in for more of the same, with no sign of the sunshine returning, for now, it’s still hovering on the 12/13 degs mark during the night and the day time temperatures are 16/17 degs mark, so we can’t complain, watch this space.










For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Deep-Fried Goujon’s of Hake Fillet ‘ – using breadcrumbs from the local Bakery, with homemade ‘ Tartar’ sauce on the side, with lots of Lemon Wedges, served with ‘Mushy Green Peas ‘ and of course twice-cooked ‘ Chips’









On Saturday evening it’s going to a ‘ Steak’ night and then on Sunday, for a change, I’m making my famous ‘ Smoked Chicken & Three Green Bean Risotto ‘





Last night we channel hopped and later watched the ‘ live’ football as Arsenal welcomed Manchester City, this time in the ‘Premier League’ – ‘ City’ won, again, 0-3, for the second time in less than a week, and played sublime ‘ team football ‘
















Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
