A VERY HUMID & HOT SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 20^th/ SEPTEMBER 2018.

We had a nice lie in this morning as it’s our relaxing day, as the ‘ Head Chef & Staff’ are off for the day! Little prince ‘ Percy’- as usual, spent the night on the bed, after freshening up we went for our first walk of the day down to the ‘Mirador’ – keeping to the shady side of the street, at our ‘ Pensioner Pace ‘- which he keeps too! We are going to miss the little lad when he goes home on Saturday, as he’s a real character and such good company, no doubt ‘ Chispa’ will come crashing in to see all of us later.

When we returned I treated us to our favourite ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ – smother in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda, just like the ‘ Head Chef’ makes them! We then got the shopping list ready for tomorrow morning when I’m out on my travels down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping.

This morning the sun had broken through earlier, the sky was clearing and there was just a very light breeze, making it warm & humid, even in the shade, by lunchtime, like yesterday afternoon when it was hot, it’s due to reach 28/29 degs+ then tomorrow and over the weekend it’s going a little warmer, partly cloudy at times, hovering in the low 30s, next week is now looking dry, warm &sunny, with a few clouds at times, again hovering in the high 20s/low 30s, - overnight down to 20/21 degs.- then going a little cooler towards the weekend, watch this space.



" Sunny Manilva " - this morning !

See below the first visit of the “ Seaborn Ovation “ – berthed at the Pier Head in Liverpool yesterday.

And last night ! 

When we were out last night for our last walk of the day we bumped into a couple of English friends who have an apartment in the block opposite the ‘Plaza de la Vendemia’- Alfred & Jane, who we have known for a few years, we have lot’s of mutual friends in the local ‘Expat Community’ – he asked us to join them on Tuesday evening, at ‘ Cafeteria Nacho’  for a glass of Cava, as it’s Jane’s 70^th Birthday, it just fits in as we are out on Monday celebrating my 73rd Birthday, and on both days we are ‘ Doggy-Free’- as ‘ Chico’ goes home on Sunday, after a two night sleep-over, and is not back with us until Wednesday for his two-week+ holiday!

We are taking things very easy today, because we can, then this evening we are going out for our supper, up to the top of our street, to ‘ Bar Rojas ‘ for a nice ‘ Tapas’ supper, sat outside in the hopefully cooler night air, Monica has a nice, large, selection of fresh Tapas as well as various ‘Combo-Platters’ – watch this space.

Just a quick update on last night football results from the ‘ UEFA Champions League’ first rounds; Manchester Utd won 0-3 with two ‘ slow’ penalties from Pogba, Real Madrid won 3-0 with a goal from Bale and a ‘barely recognisable rabble’ – Manchester City – lost at home 1-2 ?!

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
