WEDNESDAY 29th/ AUGUST 2018.
We were up early this morning and after
freshening up we shot off, along the coast road, past a sparking Mediterranean,
across to the ‘La Cañanda ‘ shopping mall behind Marbella, where we had to
start glasses of cool, fresh, Orange Juice & Croissants, before we hit the
shops!
Brenda headed for ‘ C & A ‘ and I hit ‘
Marks & Spencer’ Brenda found a pair of Pink Slacks and various
tops/jumpers, including the ‘ Bargain of the Day’ a Black Tee-Shirt for 2 Euros!
She also spotted a nice ‘Poncho’ top, she then joined me in ‘ Marks &
Spencer’ where I found a pair of White Cotton slacks and Brenda spotted another
nice top and a pair of White Slacks!
We then decided, on the way back, to call
into the celebrity restaurant, above ‘Puerto Banus’-“ La Sala “ for a lunch,
with the ‘ stars’ - it’s recently been refurbished, the cool drinks were much
appreciated. Brenda chose from the two-course Lunch Menu, she had to start the ‘
Tomato & Mozzarella Crostini ‘ followed by a large plate of fried ‘Calamari
‘ – plain, not in batter, just with Lemon Juice
and I had an old favourite ‘classic ‘ a “ Club Sandwich “ – three layers
of toast with Chicken, Bacon, Cheese, Egg, Tomato & Lettuce, with a dish’s
of Mayonnaise & Coleslaw, not forgetting some excellent French Fries. As
usual, everything was just right, the service was spot-on and I renewed my ‘Sala
Rewards Card ‘!
See above/below the pictures taken with my Mobile
Phone, outside was one of the Owners ‘ McLaren F2 ‘ and later another owners ‘
Ferrari ‘!!
As we set off the sun had broken through
early and the sky was bright blue, by the time we arrived in Marbella it was
very hot & sunny, at lunchtime reaching 34/35 degs+ tomorrow and over the
weekend it’s thankfully going a little cooler as there is a light breeze bringing
in some cooler air, next week is now looking warm & sunny, with a few
clouds at times, but the ‘ wet-stuff’ has disappeared, for now, watch this
space.

This afternoon the ‘La Vuelta 2018’ goes
from Granada to Roquetas de Mar, over 188 kms, through the mountains and down
to a flat/sprint finish.
See below;
Last night we went up to the top of our
street to meet the people coming to see us with their dog ‘Lucy’ – sadly they
had not given us the dates and it was for this weekend and into next week, when
we already have little princess ‘ Reina’ & Percy with us, so we had to say
sorry ‘ No can do’!
As it was a nice evening we decided to have
a nice cool drink at ‘ Cafeteria Nacho’ for a change ,then James & Michala
came along with their two boys and joined us, James was on holiday, from his
job in Gibraltar, he has just been ‘ Head-Hunted’ for a highly paid job in
Dubai, which he’s considering, then to our surprise Mick & Lllone came
along, they are next door neighbours, but without their children, who were back
at home with the babysitter.
So the drinks flowed ,again, in large glass’s,
with large measures, and we all had something to eat of ‘Nacho’s’ new Menu, Brenda
has his classic ‘ Gambas Pil Pil ‘ and I had an excellent and large ‘ Combo
Platter’ of ‘ Chicken Breast a la Plancha, Huevo Frito & Patatas Fritas’ (
Chicken, Egg & Chips!) A nice
surprise ‘ Chef’s & Staff ‘ night-off!
During the evening as the street light came
on, the designer of the new Canopies, told us that the coloured light system,
under and along the Canopies was due to be tested, it came on and has added to
an already spectacular new ‘ Calle Mar’ – watch this space for a picture.
This evening we are taking things very
easy, after a rather exciting day by our standards, we will have a light supper
later and catch up with the news and then find something to watch.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
