A VERY COLD, BUT DRY AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 28^th/ OCTOBER 2018.

We had a nice long lie in this morning after two weeks of being out & about, down on the ‘ Costa Del Sol ‘ with Sandra & Bill, having a ‘ Helluva’ time, we can’t thank them enough, Bill has driven us everywhere, in the ‘ Black Skoda Octavia’ – it’s like having you own personal chauffeur, with the help of the ‘ Navigator ‘ (Me!)

We wish them a safe and comfy journey home later today, yesterdays journey/flight from Malaga to Barcelona (Ryanair) was not without it’s problems, as it was delayed, over 2 hrs,their suitcase handle was broken, they unloaded on the tarmac, in the rain onto the buses taking them to the terminal, and then they had a rude taxi driver, after settling into their Hotel, they then braved the heavy rain, with their new umbrella, bought at the local market outside ‘San Roque Station’ on Thursday ( we bought one also!)

We can’t wait to see them again, in the not too distant future, I’m planning the agenda/routes all ready, as well as trying new ‘Restaurant’ destinations, researching new wines etc, it’s a hard life but somebody has to do it!

PS, The folks have just checked in at the Airport, waiting for the gate to be announced, while drinking mini-bottles of ‘ Freixenet Benjamins’ – which we introduced to them last year in Malaga, they had a good night sleep, in an enormous comfy bed at their Hotel, we are missing them both, as well, already, Lots of Love, Brenda & Malcolm xxxx

“ BON VOYAGE “

We are now settling back into our routine life down here in sunny Manilva, after freshening up, Brenda grabbed a quick shower, I’m having mine later, she is then washing her hair, while I’m up in the office/studio on the ‘WWW’ catching up with all the news, updating the Blogs, remember I add things as the day/week goes on!

For breakfast we had ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast, with mugs of steaming tea, we also had the company of little ‘ Chispa’ – who came calling yesterday, she’s back from a short holiday down at the family ‘Campo’ as well as being on ‘ lock-down’ - after we had seen the folks off, waving the ‘Flags’ as usual ‘ Union Jack & Welsh Standard ‘!

In ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ we are waiting to hear, from Daniela, who has returned from her holiday in Florida, for when little princess ‘ Reina’ is back with us next week, we have bookings over the next two months for ‘ Scruffy’ and ‘ Chico’  Watch this space.

Overnight the weather has changed, a cold ‘Northern’ front has blown down, all over Spain in fact, so it’s gone a lot cooler, for the time of the year, its’  now very ‘ cold’ for the time of the year, down to 13/14 degs during the day and into single figures at night ( 7/8 degs)?!  Today the sun is out and the sky is blue, you need a jumper on when you are out & about. We had to put our first duvet on last night!! Next week we are in for more of the same, with also the threat of rain at times, as well as patchy clouds and more wind, we have been so lucky, over the two past weeks, with the folks, as the weather was at times was in the high 20s! Watch this space.

So for now that’s it, for now, the Blog will be back to normal from tomorrow, with all our news, sports reports, ‘Menu’s’ – most important – as well as all our family news updates etc, WATCH THIS SPACE.
