AN IN BETWEEN SHOWERS DAY IN SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY.

SATURDAY 20^th/  OCTOBER  2018.

We had another little lie in this morning, after a night of very loud storms, with severe thunder and white fork lightening & cloud bursts, it then stopped and has just started again this morning, after a quick freshen up, as we are showering later, Brenda popped down to the local ‘Sub-Post Office’ to chase up some missing post, which they are dropping off on Monday ( Hopefully!) - on the way back she called into the ‘Fruit & Vegetable’ Shop, as well as our local shop, to top us up with all the essentials, for tomorrow ‘ State Visit & Banquet’ ! Watch this space.

Brenda was on the breakfast rota, as usual on a Saturday, so I had her famous ’ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast, Scrambled for her, with Toast fingers & mugs of strong tea, we then went on the ‘ Skype’ video to Jack & Lyn, over in Melbourne, Australia, for a chat & catch-up, they are both well and in good spirits, as usual, we have arranged to call them back, in the next few days, at the same time, 11-00 am here – 8 -00 pm over there, when Sandra & Bill will be with us in the house, watch this space.

At the moment the rain has stopped, but the forecast for the rest of today & tomorrow is still looking very wet, it’s hovering in the low 20s, overnight 17/18 degs, next week, fingers crossed, on some of the forecasts, the sun is due to break through and the sky will be clear & blue, giving us a chance to get out & about on the ‘ Costa Del Luz ‘ as well as around here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol ‘ Watch this space.

We have just had a call from Sandra, she and Bill went across to Estepona, yesterday afternoon, they parked down in the Marina and then walked around the old Town and ended up in ‘ Orange Square’ for a drink & snack, in between the showers, see the pictures below.

This evening we are picking them up from their apartment down in Sabinillas and will then go along the promenade to the ‘ Argentinean Steakhouse’ – “ Restaurante El Estribo “ for our ‘Saturday Steak Night’! – “ El Estribo “ is just about to open a new one, on the road going out along the coast towards ‘Sotogrande’!

Last night on the ‘ Graham Norton Show ‘ we caught one of my favourite acts of 2018, “ Christine And The Queens’ who first appeared on  ‘ Later with Jools Holland ‘ back in 2017, when you have a moment check out songs  ‘Tllted, Girlfriends’ & the latest song/track  ‘5 Dollars ‘ – you must watch the videos, as her dancing, with the ‘ Queens’ is part of the whole experience!
