A NOW CLEAR & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK.


MONDAY 20th / AUGUST 2018.






























Just a little lie in this morning, we then freshened up before breakfast, I was on the duty rota this morning so we had ‘Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ as usual, open on brown for Brenda with mugs of strong ‘PG’ Tips tea, to start the week in the right direction!

We have a very quiet week in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ – we are still waiting to hear when little princess ‘ Reina’ is back with us this week, we have a lady coming to see us about her miniature Pinscher, for a holiday in September and I have just had an enquiry, for a ‘Jack Russell’ for a couple of nights, meanwhile ‘ Chispa’ is in & out all the time looking for any friends to play with, as well as to see us!









After breakfast I went along the local Bank to pay the Water Bill, the ‘ Council’ workmen are back out in force putting up the coloured triangular Canopies, past the top of our street now, all the new waste bins are now in use,  the work on the new flagging on the terrace, above ‘Calle Mar’ is progressing slowly, I don’t think it will be finished by the ‘ Vendemia Wine Festival’ - on the first weekend of September, watch this space.









This morning has started a little grey & overcast, the sun has not broken through yet, the sky is clearing slowly, as there is just a slight breeze, blowing up from the Mediterranean, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 29 degs+ - the rest of the week is the same, with patchy clouds and still some of the ‘ wet-stuff’ over the weekend, which is sadly the time for the ‘Feria’ down in Sabinillas, still warm & sunny at times, hovering in the low 30s, overnight in the low 20s, it’s still clammy during the night, the following week is starting to look warm, sunny & dry, in the high 20s, in time for the ‘Vendemia Wine Festival weekend! – usual for the time of the year, watch this space.

Just a very quick update on the football results; Manchester City won 6-1 & Real Madrid won 2-0, oh and yes Manchester Utd lost 3-2 to Brighton!  Liverpool play this evening.


For our supper this evening we are having ‘Pan-Seared Medallions of Pork Fillet’ finished in a Lime Butter salsa, garnished with seared Button Mushrooms, with a small selection of fresh local Vegetables & ‘ Rissole’ Potatoes, accompanied with a sauceboat of a creamy ‘Green Peppercorn’ sauce. The rest of the week we are taking one day at the time, not forgetting the ‘ Head Chef & Staff’ night off on Thursday, watch this space.



We will be catching up with all the ‘ Quiz Shows’ that we follow this afternoon and then later this evening after supper we will channel hop to find something to watch, last night we caught the final episode of police/murder drama,  starring Nicola Walker & Sanjeev Bhaskar, in the excellent “ Unforgotten “ – I won’t give the plot away by telling you who the killer of the young girls was, watch it to find out!
