A VERY ' CRISP' AND NOW SUNNY MANILVA ON FRIDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

FRIDAY 30th/ NOVEMBER 2018.

We were both up early this morning, after a quick freshen up we set off on our travels down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, we called into ‘ itZabar’ for toast & tea before ‘Mercadona ‘ opened, Brenda carried on to the ‘ English Bookshop’ to post all the Christmas Cards, to family & friends ‘World Wide’!

Meanwhile I did our main shop, before Brenda joined me, to come back up the hill to unload back at the house, I then put the car away in the underground car park.

This morning has started a little grey & overcast, with a very light/fine drizzle, the sun is breaking though and the clouds are clearing, as there is a light breeze, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 19 degs+ - overnight down to 9 degs! The weekend is staying the same, dry, settled with patchy clouds and the sun out at times, next week is going to be settled, dry & sunny, getting warmer, up into the low 20s, at times, watch this space.

This afternoon the workmen finished the side wall of the Town Hall with the new large Marble Tiles, as you can see below, next week they are doing the front wall, on a very beautiful day in sunny Manilva.

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Pan-Seared Fillets of Hake’ – dusted in seasoned flour and finished ‘ A La Meuniere’ style, in foaming Lemon/Parsley Butter, with Broccoli Florets & Garden Peas and Parsley New Potatoes, accompanied with my homemade ‘ Tartar’ sauce. On Saturday it’s going to be ‘ Grilled Fillet steaks’ with all the trimmings, then on Sunday, for a change, we are having ‘ Braised Lamb Shanks in Minted Gravy’ – with assorted fresh, local Vegetables and ‘Pommes Rissolees’  

On Saturday Lee is calling in, after he returns from the UK, to re-set the ‘ IPTV’ system with a new ‘URL’ etc, so hopefully we will back on the ‘UK’ system, in time for all the sports coverage as well as all the programmes that we follow, watch this space.

Iv'e grown up !
