A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK.


MONDAY 2nd/ JULY 2018.






























I was up early this morning to welcome back little princess ‘ Reina’ for the day, she should have been with us on Thursday/Friday this week but due to a change of work rotas she here today and then back on Thursday! As usual she shot upstairs onto her duvet,  ‘Paddy’ spent the night on the floor and then came on the bed this morning for his first cuddles, we then all had a nice lie in before getting the day/week on the go.









After freshening up we took ‘Paddy’ out for his first walk of the day, keeping to the shady side of the street down to the ‘Mirador’ – when we returned ‘ Chispa’ was waiting for us outside our front door, the other day she came for a walk with us, not on a lead, she’s very good and just followed us everywhere, we then all had our breakfasts, a ‘ treat’ for ‘Paddy’ – a slice of ‘Pavo’ for ‘Chispa’- a piece of toast for ‘Reina’ and we had our normal ‘Weetabix’ fresh fruit, toast & tea!


This week we have no appointments until Friday morning, when Brenda is down at the main ‘ Medical Centre’ for her appointment with our Doctor, Natalia, for her review/check up, I will drop her off and then carry on my travels to ‘Mercadona’ for our weekly shopping, Brenda will then catch up with me, as she did last week. The following week we have two appointments, Brenda at the ‘ Costa Del Sol Hospital’ with the ‘ Kidney Consultant ‘ for her six month review and I’m going across to the local Hospital in Estepona for my appointment with the ‘ Trauma Consultant’ for my six-week review on my hand. Watch this space.


This morning the sun was out early and the sky is bright blue, there is a very pleasant light breeze making it just right in the shade, by lunchtime reaching 30/31 degs+ then as the week goes on it’s getting hotter, 33 degs tomorrow and so on! 36degs+ is on the horizon, next week is even going to be warmer, in the high 30s all week, watch this space.

PS; Over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, over the ‘Bank Holiday Weekend’ the folks have been sweltering in the high humidity at 35 degs+!


See below the sunrise over the Mediterranean this morning down on the beach in Sabinillas.











On Saturday at the ‘Armed Forces Day’ in Llandudo, North Wales, on a glorious sunny day the ‘Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’ did a ‘ fly-past’ – see below pictures of the ‘ Avro Lancaster Bomber’ and the ‘ Supermarine Spitfire’ as well as a ‘ Eurofighter Typhoon’ showing it’s paces!


















Just a quick update on the sports results; Lewis Hamilton  Mercedes car broke down as did his team mates, at the ‘Austrian Grand Prix’ -hopefully all will be fixed for this week’s ‘ British Grand Prix’ at Silverstone, at the ‘ World Cup Football ‘ in Russia, both matches went to a penalty shoot-out,  Croatia won against Denmark and sadly Spain lost to Russia, the end of ‘ Tika-Taka’ football! Today it’s Brazil v Mexico & Belgium v Japan, also it’s the start of ‘ Wimbledon’ today  – with no Andy Murray due to injury.


Lastly, this week on Saturday the “ Tour De France “ starts, with Chris Froome, still the favourite, the anti-doping case, against him, has just been dropped by cycling’s governing body! Watch this space.










For our supper this evening we are having ‘Chicken n’ Chips’ again, in the basket! The rest of the week we are taking one day at the time on the menu planning, on Thursday it’s the regular day-off for the ‘ Head Chef & Staff ‘ – we will be going along to ‘ Bar Castillo ‘ for our ‘Tapas’ supper, as Juan has re-opened, after their holidays, this morning!



On ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’  on the ‘Breakfast Show’ – each morning, with Andrew Charles, he has now a regular spot each morning featuring “  ‘ Sir’ Malcolm Sextons Horizontal Dancing “ which I introduced on my ‘live’ show, when I played a ‘ dance-track’ for those listeners still in bed! The first track ever was ‘Tiger Feet’ by Mud!! This morning’s was  ‘ The Beatles’ – I Saw Her Standing There ‘












One day hopefully I will be back on air ‘ live’ broadcasting, from my studio/office, with my ‘Sir Malcolm’s Classic Session’ playing all my favourite tracks, watch this space.
