A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.


SUNDAY 19th/ AUGUST 2018.





























We had a another nice lie in this morning and waited for the church bells to start ringing, calling the ‘ faithful’ – before we got the day on the go! After a quick freshen up we had our light breakfast of ‘ Weetabix’ fresh fruit, toast & tea. We are having an ‘at home day’- taking things very easy, relaxing, keeping as cool as possible, drinking lots of cold water, with all the fans on!










I then, as usual, came upstairs to the office/studio to check out the ‘ WWW’  read any ‘ E-Mails & reply, check the Facebook messages and read Facebook, catch up with all the news ‘ world-wide’ – before typing/posting today’s Blog

Over in Australia, at the ‘Holey Moley Golf Club’ ?! – Michael & Kelly Dutton were out celebrating the 18th birthday of their daughter ‘ Liv’ Michael is the son of Lyn’s daughter Deb, we met him when he was very young & noisy boy, when Deb visited us at the ‘ Hotel Seventy Degress’ in Colwyn Bay, all those years ago!


See below Liv out with her sister Beth & friend.











Meanwhile over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, Sandra had both her ‘ babies’ home, together, for her son’s Neil, birthday, Lanner was with her partner, Blake ( the Sauce King!) – as you can see in the picture below, where is Sandra’s ‘ Corn on the Cob’?!









Today they are all looking forward to a fabulous family wedding as Sandra’s niece is tying the knot, with a large family party at Sandra’s sister, Caroline house.




Today the sun has already broken though and the sky is clear & blue, there is a cooling ‘ Levante’ breeze blowing up from the Mediterranean, keeping it cool in the shade, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 29 degs+ - overnight 22 degs, next week is now looking warm & sunny, hovering in the low 30s, but with the chance of it being partly cloudy at times, and still on one of the forecasts the possibility of some of the ‘ wet-stuff’ during the week – the following week is showing moderate to heavy rain showers, what’s happening, very unseasonal for the time of the year and the start of the ‘ Vendemia Wine Festival’ week! Watch this space.









Just a very quick update on the sorts results; Everton won 2-1 & Barcelona won 3-0 with the new captain Messi scoring two!



Yesterday evening, at the last moment, we decided to go out for our supper, as it was a cool & balmy evening, we went along to ‘ Bar Castillo’ and sat outside in the cooing night air, for our drinks and some very nice ‘Tapas’ including Brenda’s ‘ Boquerones Fritos’ – Deep-Fried Anchovies ‘

See below;









So last night’s Menu – our ‘ Steak Night – is going to be tonight;


See below a rather special- aged -  ‘ Rib of Beef on the Bone’!  













This evening after supper we will be channel hopping to find something to watch, all the new series start at the end of the month, watch this space.
