A OVERCAST & COLD SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.


SUNDAY 29th/ APRIL 2018.





























We had a little lie in this morning after our evening out at Daniela’s 40th  Birthday party/bash. We found the grand villa on the top of the ‘La Paloma’ mountain, it’s guarded by three sets of remote barriers, the villa has been finished in spectacular fashion, the Marble floors are to die for, as well as the 4 story staircase,  in the kitchen they have the latest ‘Bosch’ supper equipment including a very clever ceramic induction hob! ( which I’ve never cooked on?!) Watch this space.


As you can see below the views across the Mediterranean, from the many terraces, are to die for.











We were warmly welcomed by our host’s Daniela & Lee along with Daniela’s Mum & Dad, Antonio & Sharon, who live in half of the villa, the full-bar was flowing, by the side of the newly completed/filled pool, as all the guests arrived, there was a Spanish singer/ guitarist to start, then on the top terrace, an English ‘ Crooner’  -followed later on the pool-side terrace a Singer/Entertainer, they are all friends of Dani’s on the local ‘Gig-Circuit’ where she also performs, in fact on Friday evening she was singing in one of the famous Bars in ‘Puerto de la Duquesa’ when her younger sister arrived with her son and surprised her, from the UK! Lee was in charge of the ‘BBQ’ and produced some very nice traditional food, all very nice as he’s not usually in charge of the kitchen! A very nice ‘ Helluva ‘ night, thanks.












This morning we are taking things easy after a light breakfast of toast & tea, we are slowly getting ourselves ready for next adventure out, down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol ‘ as we head off with our friends Kevin & Caroline, stopping off on the way for a ‘Pit-Stop’ of a nice cool glass of Cava,  across to our favourite restaurant ‘ Kokomo’ for their excellent ‘ Sunday Roast Lunch’ – the folks have arrived safely at their apartment down in Sabinillas on Friday, from Brighton. Watch this space, later for the pictures.









Speaking of the ‘Costa Del Sol ‘ – sadly last night at the birthday party the only problem was the very cold wind, that rather disrupted the night, to say the least, the cold & windy ‘ Atlantic’ front has hit us! It’s still blowing this morning and the temperature has dropped down to 17 degs+ with an overcast sky and still very cloudy, at the moment, hopefully the sun will brake through later, next week is still looking mixed, with an occasional ‘shower’- cloudy at times before slowly getting better/warmer towards the weekend, watch this space.






Just a quick update on the sports results; Liverpool could only draw 0-0 against lowly Stoke, they were saving themselves for the second-leg of the ‘ Champions League ‘ at Roma on Wednesday, Everton won 0-2 and are up to 8th in the ‘Premier League’!  Real Madrid won 2-1 and Lewis Hamilton is second on the grid, again, against Vettel, at the ‘ Azerbaijan Grand Prix’ in Baku.


Finally next week in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ things have changed with the great news that ‘Chico’ ( see below ) is back with us for another extended weeks holiday on Thursday, ‘Charlie’ arrives on Tuesday for his weeks holiday and of course little princess ‘ Reina’- who was in fine form yesterday evening, charging around the villa, is back with us for two days, as usual, and ' Chispa' is back out and has sarted to come crashing in again, watch this space.

















Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
