A WARM, CRISP AND VERY SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY 10^th/ APRIL 2019.

I was up early, again, this morning and after a quick freshen up I shot off across to the ‘ Estepona Hospital’ for my next appointment at the ‘ Physiotherapy Department’ for more treatment on my left-hand, I found a parking spot at the top of the hill, just past the Hospital and after a quick tostado & tea in ‘Tikitapi’ I crossed to the Hospital, where Encarni, fitted me  in early, ahead of my normal appointment time.

I then went into the centre of Estepona and parked in the underground car park on the promenade and walked across to my ‘ Barber’s’ – Manuel, for the ‘ full-works’ – a dry shave and cut, a trim & style, a wash & shampoo and a scalp massage – all for 15 Euros! Next I called into ‘PC World’ for printing ink, the ‘Council’ have finished the street re-design/development, in front of the shop, and have made a terrific job with parking spaces.

I then carried on to ‘La Casa’ Brenda’s favourite ‘ fancy goods shop’- at the far end of Estepona, for some large tea-lights. I stopped at the ‘English Bookshop’ back in Sabinillas for a ‘ Birthday’ card, before carrying on to the main office of ‘ Helicopteros Sanitarios ‘ – along the cost road, to pay the half-yearly ‘Medical Emergency Insurance ‘cover, fee. Finally I popped down into the ‘Puerto de la Duquesa Marina’ to the ‘ English Butchers’ for some ‘ goodies’!

As I set off the morning the sun was out above a sparkling blue/green ‘ Mediterranean’ as I went along the coast road, it’s a glorious day down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – there is just a slight breeze, so by late lunchtime it’s due to rise to 20 degs, over the next few days and into the weekend it’s getting warmer, reaching 22/23 degs+ - the start of next week is looking the same, but then sadly by next Wednesday the ‘wet-stuff ‘ is due to return, just in time for the main parades of the ‘ Semana Santa ‘ week, going to moderate to heavy rain by the ‘Easter Weekend’! Watch this space.

See below the view this morning down towards Gibraltar and across to Africa.

Just a quick update on last night football results; Liverpool take a 2 goal lead into next week second leg at ‘FC Porto’ – sadly Manchester City are down 0-1, as the face ‘ Spurs’ in the second leg back in Manchester!

For our supper this evening we are now having ‘ Grilled Lambs Liver’ – dusted in seasoned flour and pan-seared on a hot griddle-plate, with Grilled ‘English’ Pork Sausages & Crispy ‘Spanish’ Smoked Bacon, with a selection of Vegetables and a large dish of ‘ Boulangere’ Potatoes, accompanied with a rich ‘ Red Wine, Mushroom, Onion & Shallot Salsa.

Last night after supper we settled down to watch the second episode of ‘ The Widow ‘ on ITV, but the ‘ IPTV’ system went off, just as it was starting, so we caught both the matches on the ‘Sports’ channel, which was working, then later on the ‘BBC I Player’ we caught the second episode of ‘ The Victim’ – which is very gripping as the story unfolds, with two more episode to come over the next two evenings.

Tonight ‘ Manchester Utd welcome Barcelona in the first leg of the ‘ Quarter Finals of the ‘UEFA Champions League’ – as Messi brings his magic to Old Trafford! Watch this space.
