A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA, WITH A LITTLE ' COOLING' BREEZE, ON WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY 20^th/ JUNE 2018.

                                                                                                                                                                 
I was up early the morning to welcome back 'Reina' for the day, after a quick freshen up and went down to the Council Office to arrange the payment for our private spot in the underground Council Car Park, for another year, after being directed to one office, below, were I found out that there is a technical problem with our car transfer documents ( another day !) - I ended up back at the Town Hall, where three departments/offices later, I found the right person!

Meanwhile back at the house Brenda & ‘Paddy’ had a nice lie in, after another ‘ hot’ night, when I returned they went out for the  first walk of the day and when they returned we had our normal ‘ Weetabix’ fresh fruit ( Bananas ) toast & tea.

As you can see below‘ Paddy’ is sat on the ‘secretaries’ chair in the office/studio, next to the computer system and two screens, as I’m typing/ posting today’s Blog, he’s listening to some music to pass the time away!!

The sun broke through first thing this morning and the sky had cleared and was bright blue by the time I was out & about on my travels! There is still a light breeze which keeps it very pleasant, especially in the shade, by this afternoon it will reach 25/26 degs+ - the rest of the week and over the weekend is staying the same, getting a little hotter, at times, next week is going to be very settled, warm & sunny hovering in the high 20s/ low 30s – watch this space.

We have just come off the ‘ Skype’ video with Jack & Lyn over in a rather cold & damp Melbourne, Australia, they are both fine, Jack is taking things very easy and stays on the ‘ oxygen’ all the time now, Lyn had been out with Annette for the day, they were up to date with all our news after catching up with the Blog, as Lyn says to Brenda ‘ Your card is in the post ( sent 6^th June!)  - watch this space.

Yesterday the ‘ Council’ workmen erected this year’s Satirical ‘ Themed Bonfire’ down on the beachfront in Sabinillas, for this year’s “ Noche de San Juan” Festival on Saturday evening, each year there is a different theme, so it’s the ‘ Circus’ this year with some characters on the bottom left you might recognise!

See below;

This evening for our supper we are having ‘ Homemade Beef Burgers ‘ from our local Butchers, one a ‘ Cheese Burger’ for Brenda and I’m having the special ‘ Double Bacon & ‘ Campo’ Egg Burger ‘ with all the trimmings, crisp Lettuce, sliced Tomato & seared Onions, not forgetting the ‘ Gherkin’ - on toasted Buns!   Served with baskets of twice-cooked ‘ Stringfellows’


See below, mine is the one at the back on the left! 

This afternoon/ evening we will be following the ‘ World Cup Football ‘ from Russia as Spain play Iran later, ‘Royal Ascot ‘ was very exciting yesterday as Frankie Dettori ( The greatest jockey ) had a winning ‘ treble ‘ with more good rides to come today, at the various ‘Tennis’ matches, over in the UK, all the English ladies lost and Andy Murray on his return from injury, after a year, also lost. We also caught up with the final Stage of the ‘ Ladies Tour ‘ Cycling, which finished on Sunday along the promenade in Colwyn Bay, it passed all the place we know including an old friend ‘ Nino’s Cafe’ on the front in Rhos-on-Sea!

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
