A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON FRIDAY AT THE START OF A ' HELLUVA' WEEKEND.


FRIDAY 5th/ JULY 2019.
































We hand another nice long lie in this morning as I didn’t need to go out on my travels, down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, thankfully, as we are stocked up and not using our usual food & drink etc, at the moment, due to ‘ health’ reasons!


After freshening up we had a light breakfast of fresh fruit ( sliced chilled Nectarines) with toast & tea, ‘Chispa’ called in to see us, as usual, she’s in & out all the time, this afternoon ‘ Scruffy’ is back with us for a few hours again, in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ as Adrian has his second, of twenty daily appointments at the main Hospital in Malaga, for his ‘Prostate Radiotherapy’ – ‘Scruffy’ is back with us on Sunday evening for a sleep over as Adrian also has a ‘ Heart’ check up on Monday before his next appointment in the evening in Malaga ( Monday to Fridays)










The sun was out early this morning after another very hot night, the sky is bright blue and there is not a breath of air, by lunchtime it will reach 29 degs+ - tomorrow up to 32 degs, on Sunday there is a light breeze coming back, next week is looking very warm & sunny, hovering in the low 30s all week, down to only 21 degs  overnight – it’s going to be a ‘ Hot-One’!  Watch this space.

Over in Liverpool, berthed at the Pier Head, yesterday was the new offshore patrol vessel ‘ HMS Medway ‘ – launched in 2017.

For our supper this evening we are having small ‘Goujons of Haddock’ in a ‘Cruzecamp Beer Batter’ – fried in shallow Vegetable Oil, until crisp & golden, served with ‘ Mushy Green Peas’ and homemade ‘ Tartar’ sauce and lots of Lemon Wedges, accompanied with a few triple-cooked ‘ Chip’s’ – our appetites are slowly returning!













On Saturday we are having ‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks’ with ‘ Frits’ – then on Sunday, at Brenda’s request, we are going to have  ‘Poached Chicken Breasts ‘ – then sliced when cold and served with a nice Mixed Salad and Brenda’s famous ‘ Potato Salad’













At the moment we are watching a lot of the Tennis from Wimbledon, then catching other programmes later, tomorrow it’s the start of this year’s ‘ Tour de France’ in Brussels, over the weekend we will catch the final episode of ‘ Gentleman Jack’ as well as the next episode of ‘ Killing Eve’ in between watching the Final of the “ Women’s World Cup “as the USA play Holland.


















Just a thought for the weekend, to bring back many happy memories of the good old days, back in the late 70s, early 80s, of our ‘ Champagne Days’ – to help with our recuperations to get back to full-health and ‘ taste’ the good times again, at the moment we only manage one or two bottles of the ‘good-stuff’ each year, on special occasions, with family & friends! “ Cheers “ to the next time!






































Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
