MONDAY 29th/ JULY 2019.
We had a nice, very long, lie in this
morning, after I was up early to welcome back little’ Miss Bella’ for the day,
she didn’t arrive, there was a message from Leah, saying duo to a change of
plans it would only be tomorrow! This afternoon ‘ Scruffy’ is back with us for
five days in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ – just for a few hours, as Adrian has more
radiotherapy treatments over in Malaga, tomorrow also little ‘ Nacho’ is back
with us for the day, as James & Michala and their two boys are moving
house, in the village, to a large property below the church!
After freshening up we had our regular
light breakfast of fresh fruit ( Bananas) toast and tea to get another week on
the go, tomorrow afternoon I have an another emergency appointment with our
Doctor, Natalia, down at the main ‘Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas, for a review/check
up with all my medications, especially including the ‘Blood Glucose’ readings/levels
and ‘Insulin’ injections. The only problems are finding somewhere to park at
this time of the year, as well as the afternoon ‘ Heat’!
Speaking of the ‘ Heat’ – the sun was out
early this morning and there is a light breeze, so the clouds have cleared and
the sky is blue, by lunchtime it will reach 31 degs+ tomorrow is going to be
the same, with a few patchy clouds, then a little cooler, hovering in the high
20s, before the weekend, when it’s going very hot, back up to 33 degs+ on Saturday
and then 35 degs+ on Sunday! The following week is also going to be a ‘Hot-One’ Watch this space.
This coming Saturday we have yet another ‘
Festival’ in sunny Manilva, this one is special to only Manilva, the “ Noche
del Embrujo – Night of Enchantment “ with exciting illuminations along ‘ Calle
Mar ‘ – Fire Lights & Dancers, with small stages with different singers, dancers
and acts, all at the same time! Watch this space.
Over the ‘ Feria Santa Ana’ weekend the ‘Pizzeria’
– two doors down from our house, reopened with new tenants, its’ now called “
Super Mario “ – the first reports, from a friend, are that their pizzas are
excellent and very good value!
Staying on the food front, this evening we
are having, for a change, some small ‘Brochettes’- that I picked up from the ‘Butchery’
department in ‘ Mercadona’ on Friday, they are diced Turkey, with slices of Red
& Green Peppers, I will add some half’s of Shallot & Diced Baby
Mushrooms, before cooking them on a very hot ‘ griddle-plate’ – served with
finely sliced ‘French’ Green Beans and Baby New Potatoes in their Skins, accompanied
with a sauceboat of Tomato sauce! As
usual, at this time of the year we are taking it one day at the time on the ‘Menu’
front! Watch this space.
Yesterday we went out, in the late
afternoon, to watch the new band on the second stage at the top of our street, they
were the best so far and had the large crowd dancing away, with their ‘
Bolsa/Flamenco’ dance music, in the hot afternoon sunshine.
We then had a early
supper, before watching the second episode of “ Poldark” – he’s back down in
Cornwall, he’s now a MP in London, saving lives in the mines, chasing the local villains, bathing his wife in a
brass tub in front of the roaring fire, causing ‘mayhem’ within his old family etc, there is also a ‘Nastie’
man up to no good, killing ‘Poldark’s’ friend back in London, as he’s sorting
out all the villagers problems! Watch this space.
We then went back out and first walked down
to the main fairground, on the lower field, where there was four main, large
rides, the very loud Dodgems, a Flying Saucer, a very large ‘Extreme Swing’ and
a ‘Air Blasting Super Ride’ We then came back up to the ‘ Plaza de la Vendimia’
where all the children’s rides are, as well as all the food stalls. We found a
seat to watch the very loud, very good, but short ‘ ‘Fireworks’ display to
close this year’s ‘ Feria Santa Ana 2019’
See all the pictures above.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
