We had a nice lie in this morning before
the Church bells started calling the ‘ Faithful ‘ to the ‘ Corpus Christi Mass ‘
After a quick shower we had our normal toast & tea before getting ourselves
ready to go out later to the see the procession and the various street ‘Altar’s’
- which by tradition are set up along ‘Calle Mar ‘- ready to be blessed by
Padre Jose, as the newly confirmed children in their ‘White Communion Dresses
and Uniforms’ follow with all their family’s behind, singing the various songs
of salutation.
See all the pictures above; (which will be
posted later due to a technical problem!)
This morning the sun was out early and the
sky has cleared and is bright blue as there is a light breeze blowing, by
lunchtime it’s due to reach 24/25 degs+ - next week is now looking warm &
sunny with a few occasional clouds, hovering on in the mid 20s, overnight 15/16
degs, staying the same over next weekend, just right for Jason & Donna’s
visit on Thursday, watch this space.
On Monday morning Brenda has her
re-arranged appointment with our Doctor, Natalia, for her re-view/check up
after her appointment with the ‘Heart Consultant’ last week, then on Thursday
we are preparing for the visit of our old friends Jason & Donna, who are staying
for the night at ‘Hostel Ocana ‘ on ‘Calle Mar ‘ where we have booked the executive
suite for them. We are going for a ‘Tapas’ lunch to the ‘K’ Bar in Sotogrande
Marina and then in the evening where we have booked a window table at our
favourite ‘ celebration restaurant ‘ Restaurante Macues ‘
In ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ next week little
princess ‘ Reina ‘ is back with us on Monday/Tuesday & Wednesday, then on
Monday lunchtime ‘Paddy’ is due to arrive for his extended two month holiday,
he’s bringing his day & night beds, all his regular food & treats, as
well as his comfort cushion! ‘Chispa’ no doubt will be calling in to see all
her friends.
At lunchtime we went along to ' Bar Castillo ' for a nice cool drink and some Tapas, sat in the warm sunshine with a cooling breeze blowing, a glorious day here in sunny Manilva.
This evening for our supper we are having ‘Pan-Seared
Medallions of Pork Fillet’ garnished with Button Mushrooms and served with a Creamy
Green Peppercorn(soft) Salsa, with Glazed Carrot Batons & Whole ‘French’
Green Beans and my special ‘ Breton’ style Potatoes, diced boiled potatoes,
tossed in foaming butter, with chopped Onions, Red & Green Peppers.
Yesterday over in Canada Sandra & Bill
were away for the weekend, for the first time, in their new trailer, hooked-up
to Bill’s ½ ton ‘ GMC Sierra ‘ – they went North from Everett, Ontario and
ended up on the “ Hope Bay “ Campground on the ‘Bruce Peninsula ‘ which is
surround by ‘Lake Huron’ – one of the ‘ Great Lakes’ – the site is in a
spectacular position next to the lake, as you can see in the pictures below.
For the rest of the day we are taking things easy, relaxing and later watching the TV.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
