A BEAUTIFUL WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK.

MONDAY 13^th/ MAY 2019.

We were up very early this morning and after freshening up we shot off across to the ‘ Costa Del Sol Hospital’ past Marbella for Brenda’s appointment for her special ‘Blood Tests’ etc, ready for next week when she has a appointment with the ‘ Kidney Consultant’ The very busy Department has been ‘ Automated ‘ – you sign in with your ‘Health Card’- the system gives you a 3 letter code, which appears on the screens, which then calls & tells you where to go! We were in & out on time!!

The sun was out early this morning, the sky was blue and the high mountains were clear, as we passed along the coast road, the Mediterranean was sparkling, a beautiful warm & sunny day, perfect for the time of the year, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 23 degs+ - tomorrow is the same, then on Wednesday it’s going up to 29 degs+ - as the breeze gets up, over the next few day and the weekend it’s hovering in the mid 20s, with a few patchy clouds, with even the chance of the ‘ wet-stuff’ returning, next week is looking the same, going a little warmer at times, watch this space.

See below a spectacular aerial view of Liverpool, with the two football grounds of Everton & Liverpool, either side of Stanley Park!

On the way back we dropped down into a very warm & sunny Estepona, I dropped Brenda off in the centre of the Town, for some retail shopping, and I carried on to the ‘Estepona Hospital’ where ‘ Encarni’- the ‘ Head Physio’  fitted me in for a shorter appointment, I’m back on Thursday morning, as the next two days are a local Bank Holiday’s for the ‘Feria’! 

I then had a quick tostado & tea in Tikitapi’- Brenda had the same in the centre of the shopping mall, I then collected her at the main roundabout and shot back along to Sabinillas, to call into ‘ Mercadona’ for a little shopping, before coming back up the hill, through the very Green Vine Fields.

Yesterday afternoon we watched the two football matches, Liverpool won 2-0 but Manchester City won 1-4, so they are the 2018/2019 ‘ Champions of the Premiere League’ – by 1 point!

Later we caught up with Sandra & Bill over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, on the ‘ Skype’ video, before Sandra went into work, despite it being ‘Mothers Day’ – they are both fine, the weather is still cold so they have not been able to get out in the garden yet, Next weekend they are going away with the trailer to ‘ Hope Bay ‘ on the South Bruce Peninsula’ They have booked their flights, this time from Montreal, direct to Malaga, they arrive on Sunday 29^th September and fly back the following Sunday 6^th October, it’s starting to get closer, we are getting rather excited, to say the least, as they all (8) arrive down here in sunny Manilva, on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’!!

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Cold Roast Topside of Beef ‘ – with a selection of Vegetables and the rest of the ‘ Goose-Fat’ Roast Potatoes, the menu’s for the rest of the week are still to be agreed ‘TBC’ –watch this space. 


PS;  ' Pan-Seared Lambs Liver ' on Tuesday, ' Grilled Gammon Steaks ' on Wednesday, 'Omelettes ' on Thursday, 'Fish' for Friday, ' Steak' on Saturday & ' Medallions of Pork' on Sunday!
