A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON ' FATHER'S DAY' SUNDAY.


SUNDAY 17th/ JUNE 2018.      “ HAPPY FATHER’S DAY “ 





































We had a little lie in this morning after a comfortable night, it was hot, but we are now into our ‘ Hot Mode’ – a light sheet, the fan on, towels if it gets too sticky and positive thinking! ‘Paddy’ is fine and slept all night on the bed with us, this morning we took him out for his first walk of the day, before it gets too hot, when we returned we had our usual ‘ Weetabix’ fresh fruit, toast & tea, to start the day in the right direction.

We have a nice easy day, at home, basically doing nothing, because we can! Brenda is pottering about and I’m up in the office/studio, with ‘ Paddy’ on the ‘WWW’ – catching up with all the Facebook messages, E-Mails etc, reading all the newspapers, watching the news programmes and listening to ‘Castle Radio 89.2 & Online on the Internet ‘ as I start to type and then post today’s Blog! Watch this space.

As I was reading all the ‘ Fathers Day ‘ messages on Facebook, one picture brought back some very happy memories, it showed an old friend & neighbour, Gwyn, with two of his grandchildren, with in the background our house, " Craven Cottage " in ‘ Rhyd-y-Foel ‘ – still looking like the day we left it back in August 2006! ( but with no hanging baskets!) I will ‘dig-out’ some more pictures for another day, watch this space.

A picture has also just appeared of Jeff & Annette, with their daughter Kate after they arrived in Edmonton, Canada, on their holiday, all the way from Brisbane, Australia, it’s a small World!

This morning it was already hot & sunny as we set off on our walk, the sky has cleared and is bright blue, there is just a very slight breeze, keeping it just right on the shady side of the street, by lunchtime it will be hovering on the 26 degs+ mark, next week is going to be a ‘ hot one’ with warm sunshine, clear skies, staying in the mid to high 20s, overnight 19/20 degs, just about bearable for the time of the year, watch this space.








This evening for our supper we are collecting at lunchtime a ‘ Roast Chicken’ – that we have ordered, from the ‘ Rotisserie’ in ‘Calle Mar’ which we will have with a Mixed Salad, Baby Beetroot, Hard-Boiled ‘Campo’ Eggs, the last of the ‘ Russian’ Salad and some Parsley New Potatoes, next week we will be keeping the menu’s as simple as possible, watch this space.


See below the ' Rotisserie'








At lunchtime we will no doubt stop and have a nice cool drink at ‘ Bar Castillo’ after picking up the ‘ Roast Chicken’ -  were we had our favourite ' Tortillitas  de Camarones - Crispy Shrimps Pancakes '  We will then catch up with all the news & sport ( 10) on all the channels, as we all relax and take things very easy, for the rest of the day, it’s a ‘ hard-life’ but somebody has to do it!
