A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 8^th/ NOVEMBER 2018.

We had a nice lie in this morning before freshening up, Brenda had a quick shower, I’m having mine later, as I was on the breakfast rota, so we had ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce- open on brown for Brenda, with mugs of strong tea.

I then popped along to the local Bank in ‘Calle Mar’ to pay the monthly electricity bill and get some cash from the machine, I then stopped at the ‘Chemists’ for the new prescriptions.

This morning the sun broke through earlier and the sky is bright blue, with no sign of any clouds, at the moment, there is no breeze so we have a beautiful day here in sunny Manilva, it was forecast for light to  moderate rain, which there is no sign of, for now! By lunchtime it’s due to reach 18/19 degs, tomorrow it’s going to be cloudy but dry, getting a little warmer over the weekend, next week is looking a little unsettled and cooler, at times, with patchy clouds and some more of the ‘wet-stuff’ possible, hovering on the 18/19 degs mark, just about normal for the time of the year, watch this space.

See below a picture of the latest update on the work on the new ‘ Estepona Hospital’

Tomorrow morning after little princess ‘ Reina’ is dropped off I’m off on my travels, down to Sabinillas, for the weekly shopping, ‘ItZabar’ is open after his weeks holiday, I will call into ‘ Mercadona’ and the ‘English Bookshop’ as well as the ‘ English Butchers’- down in ‘ Puerto de la Duquesa Marina’ before picking up some fresh flowers and wall plants from the local market at the far end of the promenade.

For our supper this evening we are having the rest of the ‘Braised Steak, Onion, Mushroom & Assorted Pepper Casserole’ with the ‘ Mashed’ Potato and Vegetables, on Friday it will be a ‘Fish Supper’ and on Saturday our regular ‘ Steak Night’ – then on Sunday I’m making my version of the old classic “ Lancashire Hotpot “

Last night after supper we watched the next two-part episodes of “ Dark Heart “ as the Detective, with family problems, and his team investigated the mysterious death of a young nurse on the London Underground, and then later a similar death of her lover, a ‘Consultant’ at the Hospital, the second part is this evening.
