A STILL VERY ' CRISP' & SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 16^th/ DECEMBER 2018.

We had another nice lie in this morning as the village was quieter than normal, after freshening up we had our regular light breakfast of fresh fruit( Bananas ) - toast & tea, it was then nearly time to walk down to the ‘ Iglesia Santa Ana Church’ for the “ Christmas Carol Concert “ – yesterday afternoon we stayed at home and listened to the ‘ Flamenco Concert’ from the comfort of our settee, as the music/singing was blown across from the “ Casa De Los Torres “ ‘ Cultural Centre’- which is in the open air, in the next street, on a very ‘ cold & crisp’ day in sunny Manilva!

Speaking of a very cold & crispy day, here, down on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ this morning there is a stiff breeze blowing, the sky is blue and the clouds have cleared, the breeze has also blown away the threatening ‘ wet-stuff’ for now, so by lunchtime it due to reach 19 degs+ -next week is now looking, on all the forecasts, bar one, settled, dry & sunny with patchy clouds, hovering in the high ‘teens’ – leading up to the long  ‘ Christmas Weekend’ – both ‘ Christmas Day & Boxing Day ‘ are going to be ‘ SUNNY’! Watch this space.

While I’ve been typing/posting today’s Blog I have been listening to ‘Pete Black Retro Road Show’ on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’ as he played this week’s ‘ Film Quiz’ track – I got it straight away – “ A Space Odyssey “ with Douglas Rain as ‘ HAL 9000 ‘ – so I’m in the draw, again for the ‘ Mug’!

Just a quick update of the football results; Manchester City won 3-1 & Real Madrid had a ‘ lucky ‘ win 1-0!

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Pan-Seared Medallions of Pork Fillet’ accompanied with a creamy ‘Green Peppercorn’ sauce, with a small selection of fresh, local Vegetables & ‘ Pommes Risolees’ – par-boiled Baby new Potatoes, in their skins, then tossed in foaming Parsley Butter until crisp & brown all over. Next week’s Menu’s are still TBC, watch this space.

Last night before supper we watched the Final of ‘ Strictly Come Dancing’ – then channel hopped, this evening it’s the “ BBC Sports Personality of the Year “

PS; We have arranged to call Sandra & Bill over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, on the ‘ Skype’ video later this afternoon, for a catch-up with all their news.

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
