A VERY ' CLOSE' & 'CLAMMY' SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY.


WEDNESDAY 14th/ AUGUST 2019.







































We managed a little lie in this morning before taking ‘ Chico & Sunny’ for their first walk of the day,  ‘Sunny’ is being collected later tomorrow morning, when we came back we freshened up before our breakfast,of ‘Weetabix’ with sliced Banana and cold milk for me, brown toast for Brenda and the dogs!










As we were getting ready I was listening to the ‘ Andrew Charles Breakfast Show’ on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW” as the ‘ Music Quiz’ came on, it was ‘ flash’ under a second intro, I got it straight away, it was ‘ Cyndi Lauper ‘ with ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun ‘ – I’m in the draw on Friday morning, again!
















I then shot along to the local Bank to pay the electricity bill, it comes in the post and Brenda checks it off against her figures! On the way back I picked up a bag of Ice as we are using a lot at the moment. We are taking things very easy today after another very hot and uncomfortable night, taking little ‘siesta’s’ when we can.



This morning the breeze, coming off the Mediterranean has dropped a little, the sun is out but there a few clouds still about, by lunchtime only up to 26 degs+ - still hovering in the low 20s during the night, down in Gibraltar the – sea-mist has stopped all the flights, a friend has just been ‘ bussed’ to Malaga!  Tomorrow it’s staying the same, as well on Friday, then over the weekend it’s back up to 33 degs+ - next week is starting very hot & sunny, before dropping back down to the mid/high 20s going up to next weekend, watch this space.











Two pictures from Liverpool below; The ‘ Royal Liver Building’ last night and one from the past, the “ Empress of Canada “ at the landing stage by the Pier Head, back in 1969!



















For our supper this evening we are having ‘Omelettes of Choice ‘ – Cheese ( Mild Cheddar/ Parmesan) for Brenda and my favourite ‘ Paysanne’ ( diced/fried Potatoes, Onions, Ham etc)  for me! – with a little salad. Tomorrow is still TBC.











Speaking of Thursday, at lunchtime our friends from the Isle of Man, Vic & Sue with their son Ben, together with some of their friends are coming across to sunny Manilva to join us for a ‘Tapas’ lunch, along at ‘ Bar Castillo’ The last time they were here was back in 2017.


See below.

















Tomorrow is a ‘ Bank Holiday ‘ here in Spain, it’s a major religious festival across the country, “ Assumption of Mary Day “ 














Meanwhile down in Sabinillas on Thursday evening it’s the ‘Tourist Day’ Festival’ on the beach, with rides, games, sports with music & dancing.



See below.













Last night after supper we settled down to watch the next gripping episode of “ Keeping Faith “ as she had lots of family/work problems, her eldest daughter was a victim in an attempted ‘ Hit & Run’-her husband arrived home from prison, the nasty lady gangster it still after her, blackmailing her, her best friend, a lady lawyer in the same practise, is up to no good, her male live-in child minder told her he loves her, her secret lover also made another move, which she liked, the police are still after her for money laundering, there was the funeral of the murdered farmer, his young son started to bury the coffin with soil but not with love, all this takes place in South Wales on one day in her life!

















Thoughts for the Day;  See above.




PS; Tomorrows Blog will be late as we have a ‘ Helluva’ Day!
