A VERY WARM & HUMID SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY.

TUESDAY 18^th/ SEPTEMBER 2018.

We had a nice lie in this morning, little prince ‘ Percy’ slept all night on the bed, he snuggles up as the night goes on, after freshening up we took him out for his first walk of the day down to the ‘Mirador’- keeping to the shady side of the street, when we returned, as the ‘Head Chef’ was on the breakfast rota, we had ‘Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ – smothered in ‘ HP ‘ Brown sauce – open on brown, as usual, for Brenda, with mugs of ‘ PG ‘ Tips tea.

Before we went out, as we were getting ready we were listening to ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’  as usual, we both guessed the mystery 1 second track straight away, it was ‘ Cyndi Lauper’ – “ Girls Just Want to Have Fun “

After breakfast we had our ‘ Menu’ planning meeting; as it’s still ‘ Hot’ in the kitchen, we have agreed with the ‘Head Chef’ to still keep things simple, for now, this evening we are having ‘Homemade Burgers’ from our Butcher in ‘Calle Iglesia’ – ‘  Big Cheese’ for Brenda, using Gouda Slices, and a ‘ Big Egg ‘ for me, they are all made with crispy Coz Lettuce, sliced Tomatoes, Gherkins, crispy Smoked Bacon  & sautéed Onions, - mine topped with a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg! – served with ‘ Basket’s of twice-cooked, hand-cut by Brenda, “ Stringfellows “ !! Not forgetting the ‘Heinz’ Tomato Ketchup.


See below, not a very good picture, taken with my Mobile !

Tomorrow evening it’s going to be ‘ Marinated Spanish Lamb Cutlets ‘ with a small selection of seasonal, local, vegetables, then on Thursday we have given the ‘ Head Chef & Staff’ the night off, we will go along to ‘ Bar Castillo’ for a Tapas supper, as they have returned from their holidays, Friday will be ‘ Fish Night’ & Saturday ‘ Steak Night’ – as usual Sunday is TBC, as on Monday we are going out for supper, on my birthday, to hopefully, the ‘ Kinnaree Thai Restaurante ‘ down in the Puerto de la Duquesa Marina’ Watch this space. 

The sun has broken through early this morning and the sky was bright blue, as we set off, there was no breeze, so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 30 degs+ - the rest of the week and over the weekend is looking the same, warm & sunny, with patchy clouds at times, hovering on the 30 degs mark, over night down to 21/22 degs, normal for the time of the year, next week is looking settled, warm & sunny, a little cooler as the week goes on as there is a light breeze, watch this space.

See below the beach this morning, back to normal!

This evening it’s the start of the ‘ UEFA Champions League ‘ football as Liverpool welcome ‘PSG’ - Barcelona are at home to PSV Eindhoven & Tottenham travel to Inter Milan.

Yesterday evening after supper we watched the second episode of “ Black Earth Rising “ – we missed the first episode last week as the ‘IPT system was offline,  we are going catch it on the ‘I Player’ - the main protagonist is a Tutsi refugee who escaped the Rwanda genocide and was raised by upper class white parents in London, Kate ( Michaela Coel) – now an international Human Rights Lawyer, John Goodman ( Roseanne ) is a American barrister defending a Rwandan liberator turned mercenary, it all goes ‘ Pear-Shaped’ as an killer, disguised as a ‘Police Motorcyclist’ shoots 6/7 people, I lost count, one of them the mother of Kate, played by Harriet Walter, who is also a lawyer, the plot thickens, watch this space.
