ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL VERY ' CRISP' & SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY 28^th/ NOVEMBER 2018.

Just a little lie in this morning as some knocking/drilling sounds came down our street, they are working on the lower walls around the Town Hall, they are preparing the walls, we think,now confirmed by the Mayor, Mario, to place a new ‘Marble Tiled’ front around the bottom, we saw all the very expensive dark-Green Marbled tiles being delivered the other day, by our neighbour opposite, who is ‘ Juan -the Tiler’ – the “King” of Marble! Watch this space.


See below, it's all happening in sunny Manilva today!

I then freshened up and shot off on my travels, after a quick mug of tea, down to the main ‘ Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas for my appointment with the ‘Practice Nurse’ for my monthly ‘ V12’ injection, I then carried on to the ‘English Butchers’ in Puerto de la Duquesa Marina’

When I returned the ‘ Second Chef’ was on the breakfast rota, so she treated me to ’Toasted English Pork Sausage Butties’- smothered in ‘HP’ Brown sauce, with another mug of strong/sweet tea! We have now agreed the ‘Menu’s’ for the rest of the week; this evening it’s last week’s  ( from the deep-freeze) ‘Chicken & Mushroom Curry’ with Basmati Rice.

Then tomorrow for our 47^th ‘Wedding Anniversary’ we are starting the day’s celebrations with ‘Campo Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon’  with a nice glass of chilled Cava, at lunchtime, we are going out locally ( Calle Mar) for an ‘ al fresco drink’- as tomorrow evening we are now staying at home, we will have our ‘Anniversary Supper’ when we go across to Malaga in December to see the ‘ Xmas Lights’ in Calle Larios! Brenda has asked for her favourite ‘ Confit of Duck Leg ‘ and I have treated myself to an ‘ Aged Rib-Eye’ Steak ‘ ( English Butchers- this morning!)

On Friday it’s going to be a ‘Fish n Chips’ supper, Saturday is our regular ‘ Steak Night’ and then on Sunday, for a change we are having ‘Braised Lamb Shanks in Minted Gravy ’!

We have another beautiful day down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol ‘ – it was very ‘crisp’ & sunny as I set off down to Sabinillas this morning, the sky was bright blue and the Mediterranean was sparkling as the sun came up, last night we had the most spectacular ‘Red Sunset’ – the forecasts all show that we are in for a settled period as the new ‘Atlantic Warm Front’ comes in, by lunchtime it will be hovering on the 19/20 degs+ mark, overnight down to 9/10 degs, we now need the ‘Oil Heater’ on in the evening, in the lounge, the rest of the week and over the weekend is looking settled with more of the same, next week is going to be the same, sunny with patchy clouds, crisp & sharp, as there is a light breeze at times,  hovering on the 20 degs mark, hopefully the threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’ has gown away, watch this space.

See below the Beach front this morning down in Sabinillas.

So at the moment we are back on ‘Spanish TV’ – channel hopping, mostly very old Cowboy/Pirate films etc! Hopefully on Saturday Lee is going to call in to install the new ‘URL’ on the ‘IPTV’ system, watch this space.
