A NOW 'FRESH & BRIGHT' SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK.

MONDAY 25^th/ FEBRUARY 2019.

I was up early this morning and after a quick freshen up I shot off across to the Hospital in Estepona for my 3rd appointment with the main  ‘  Physiotherapist ‘ – I’m back on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, Thursday is a ‘ Bank Holiday’ for “ Andalusia Day “ – it’s also “ Global Scouse Day “! Watch this space.

I managed to find a parking spot right away, with a bit of luck, I slowly followed a couple leaving, to find their car! This meant that I was able to have a quick tea & tostado before walking down to the Hospital!

I start with the warm wax-bath, on my left-hand, which is kept on for 20 minutes, then a deep massage oil is applied to my hand before a long massage session, finished with stress excercises with my the fingers.

PS; On Friday it’s “ St David’s Day ‘ – I’m going to the Hospital first, then will do the weekly shopping etc, back in Sabinillas later.

This morning started a little grey & overcast as well as being very cold, as there was a stiff breeze blowing up from the Mediterranean, as I set off, it’s now cleared and the sky is cloudless & blue, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 17 degs+ - the rest of the week and over the coming weekend is staying dry, with patchy clouds, but mainly sunny, as the breeze drops, reaching 20/21 degs+ at times,  during the night hovering at around 10/11 degs, just in time for the start of March! Next week is also looking the same, going a little warmer as the week goes on, back to normal for the time of the year. Watch this space.

Just a quick update on the sports results from yesterday; Ireland won 16-26 - with a not very convincing game-plan, by Jonny Sexton! Real Madrid won 1-2 but didn’t play well, the Manchester Utd v Liverpool game finished 0-0, but Liverpool are still top of the ‘ Premier League’ At the “ Carabao Cup Final “ at Wembley, it went to extra time and then penalties, after another goal-less match, a rather poor  Manchester City then beat Chelsea 4-3- to win the ‘Cup’ again.



At lunchtime we went for a short walk to stretch our legs and ended up sat inside ' Bar Castillo' for a nice cool drink and some of Juan's excellent ' Tapas' -  ' Boquerones in Vinegar, Russian Salad, Diced Chicken Korma & Ham & Cheese Empanadas '

For our supper this evening we are having the rest of the ‘ Poulet En Cocotte Bonne Femme ‘ –  which was very tasty, a nice change, tomorrow it’s going to be ‘ Chicken Schnitzels ‘ with ‘Spaghetti Milanese ‘ -  on Wednesday I’m making a ‘Beef & Vegetable Stew’ – which on Thursday will become a nice pan of  traditional ‘ Lob Scouse ’ after adding par-boiled diced potatoes! For ‘ Global Scouse Day ‘!! Friday will be a ‘Fish n’ Chip Supper’ and on Saturday, as usual, ‘ Steak Night’ – for the ‘Roast ‘ on Sunday will be having ‘Lamb’ to celebrate ‘St David’s Day’ in style!

Last night after supper we settled down to watch the second episode of the excellent and very gripping “ Baptiste “ – the accidental drowning sequence, of the missing girl, who was hiding from a killer sent to murder her, was the most shocking ever shown on TV, more details started to appear, as the tale started to come together, the ‘ Detective’ was outwitted by the strange ‘ Uncle’ – but then found the severed head, at his house, but is now trapped by the nasty ‘ Uncle’ with a gun at his head, meanwhile the Detectives wife has let in the same killer, acting as a ‘ Gas Man’ to read her meter!  We can’t wait for next week’s episode!! Watch this space.

Later this afternoon/evening we will catch up with all the ‘Quiz Shows’ that we follow, before channel hopping later after supper.
