A VERY COLD, WINDY AND WET SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 31^st/ JANUARY 2019.

I was up very early this morning to welcome back little princess ‘ Reina’ for the day, last night Daniela sent me a massage on ‘Facebook’ asking if we could have her today, she shot upstairs and joined us on the bed as we all had a little lie in, she’s now in her duvet outside the main office/studio door!   

We then after freshening up had our light breakfast of toast & tea before putting together the shopping list, I’m now going out on my travels down to Sabinillas on Saturday morning, to try and beat the rain and strong winds that are forecast for Friday, also we don’t need any fresh flowers or wall plants this week, the local market at the far end of the promenade is only open on a Friday morning.

Yesterday it brightened up later and was warm and sunny in the afternoon sunshine, the ‘ wet-stuff’ hit us later in the evening and has not stopped since, this morning it’s grey & overcast with a stiff breeze blowing, by lunchtime it will only be 15 degs, tomorrow is the same, going colder and windy as the day goes on, by Saturday it should be dry but very windy as the new front come in from the Atlantic, bringing with it the warmer weather over the weekend and into next week, we are in for dry spell with sunshine and patchy clouds at times, hovering in the mid/high ‘ teens’ – watch this space.

See below ‘ St Georges Plateau ‘ on Lime Street, William Brown Street and the ‘ Beatles’ at the Pier Head, yesterday, as the snow hit Liverpool.

Last night we had a nice ‘ Skype’ video chat, news update & gossip  with Tim & Thea up in Mojacar, it was Thea’s birthday and they had been out with friends celebrating, so they were both very ‘Relaxed’- especially Tim! Thea’s birthday card had only arrived the day before, Brenda posted it in the local Sub-Post Office one week ago! She had also not received any family & friends cards from Spain and the UK!!  

They have also been watching the “ Great Canadian Railway Journeys “ with ‘Michael Portillo’ and have fallen in love with Canada, the spectacular scenery and the grand railways, watch out Sandra & Bill, as they could come calling later in the year!  They have booked to go home to Old Colwyn in North Wales on March 12^th- reaching Colwyn Bay on the 15^th

See below a spectacular picture of the ‘Bay of Colwyn’ taken yesterday, looking a little more peaceful and sunny.

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Omelette’s’ – ‘Cheese’ for Brenda ( grated Mild Cheddar & Parmesan) and ‘Paysanne’ for me ( small diced/fried Onions, Potatoes & Vegetables) – with finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans and Baked Potatoes.

Today is definitely ‘a stay at home day’ – keeping dry & warm, out of the cold and wet weather, we are taking things very easy, basically doing nothing, because we can, relaxing and later watching the news updates and later following the ‘Quiz Shows’ as usual and then channel hopping, after supper, to find a good film to watch, watch this space.

Bill, Malcolm & Tim !
