A CLEARING ' MISTY' SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY.


WEDNESDAY 19th/ SEPTEMBER 2018.































I was up early this morning to welcome back little princess ‘ Reina’ for the day, she arrived late so Brenda got up to see her in, as I had to shoot down to the main ‘Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas, to make an appointment to see the Nurse, for my 4 weekly ‘V12’ injection, they fitted me later this afternoon, when I returned Brenda came back after taking  ‘ Percy’ for his first walk of the day down to a ‘Misty’ Mirador!  We then had our regular light breakfast of ‘ Weetabix’ fresh fruit, toast & tea.


As I set off there was a thick sea mist enveloping the village, it was very humid/close, as it’s still very warm, even the locals are saying how hot it is for the time of the year, by lunchtime reaching 29 degs+ after the sun breaks through, yesterday it was very hot & sunny, all day, with a clear blue sky, over the next couple of days and into the weekend it’s going to get a little warmer, hovering in high20s/low 30s, next week, starting on Monday 24th September ( My 73rd Birthday ) the forecast is for a hot start to the week, going a little cooler, as there will be a light breeze coming along, with patchy clouds, at times,  with still the threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’ in the air, watch this space.











This evening in the ‘ UEFA Champions League’ Manchester City welcome Lyon & Real Madrid are at home to Roma, and Manchester Utd will have to play on a plastic pitch, in Bern, Switzerland, against ‘BSC Young Boys’  Last night Barcelona won 4-0 with another ‘Messi’ hat-trick and Liverpool beat ‘ PSG’ 3-2!














On our last walk of the evening, when we take in the cooler night air, we bumped into Juan & Paqui from ‘ Bar Castillo ‘ –back from their holiday in Motril, they are only opening for breakfast until the 1st October, when they will re-open as usual, this means that we will have to see who is open tomorrow evening, as ‘Bar OcaƱa’is on holiday, ‘ Cafeteria Nacho’ is closed on a Thursday, after returning from his holiday, ‘Cafe Plaza’ have re-opened after having a new kitchen built, ‘Bar Rojas’ looks like they are back to normal opening times, or we can walk down/around to ‘ Bar Pedreta ‘ – and finally ‘Bar Antiguedades’ which is now serving ‘ Greek Food ‘ ?! Watch this space.


For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Marinated Spanish Lamb Cutlets ‘ – ( Virgin Olive Oil, Lemon Juice & Tarragon ) – cooked on a very hot griddle-plate ‘ Pink ‘ with a small selection of fresh, local Vegetables and ‘ Parsley’ New Potatoes, which are at the moment, very tasty, not forgetting the special ‘Mint Sauce’- sugar & Malt Vinegar!



After supper we will settle down to channel hop, to find something to watch, on the new ‘IPTV’ system, if it’s working, as at the moment we have a few technical difficulties, from time to time. “ Fingers Crossed “
