A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY - " NOCHE DEL EMBRUJO "


SATURDAY 3rd/ AUGUST 2019.  “ NOCHE DEL EMBRUJO “ 
































We managed a nice lie in this morning after a cooler, but still very hot night, we had more sleep than normal, after freshening up Brenda was on the breakfast rota so we had her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast, Scrambled for her, on brown, with mugs of strong tea, to set us up for the day ahead.













‘Chico’ who is very easy to look after, he spent the night on the marble floor under our bed, he then went for his first walk of the day, with Brenda’ round the bottom of the village, before it got too hot, he’s eating well and into his routine, sadly little princess ‘Reina’ is not with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ this afternoon, for a sleep-over as Daniela’s mother is not well, back at their home, so she’s looking after her, on Monday & Tuesday  little ‘Miss Bella’ is back with us, as well as ‘Scruffy’ in the afternoons, ‘Chispa’ has all ready been in to see us and her friend.













Yesterday evening we spent the night in the fresh air, sat outside ‘ Bar Castillo’ for a nice light ‘ Tapas’ supper, watching the ‘World’ go by, with nice cool drinks, later our friends from around the bottom of our street Jo and her husband Mike joined us, they are the couple who recommended us to ‘ A Home in the Sun’ as it was their house that was on the programme, we ended up having a nice long chat, and more drinks, thanks, as we discovered that we have a lot more in common, with a past life and career in the Hotel & Restaurant business!















This evening it’s the “ Noche Del Embrujo – Night of Enchancment  “ which all the finalizing work is taking place, at the moment, up and along in Calle Mar’-  special street lighting etc, this year there is a programme and times, it’s getting more professional, we are going to try and get a seat, as usual, outside ‘ Bar Castillo’ – watch this space.






















After a slightly cooler night, this morning the sun was out first thing and the sky is blue and clear, by lunchtime it will reach 31 degs+ up to 34 degs + tomorrow, next week is looking very hot and sunny all week, hovering  in the low 30s, at times up to 36 degs+ (Wednesday) – overnight down in the low 20s, we are in for a ‘HOT-ONE’ to say the least, watch this space.















We have now arranged a ‘ Skype’ video link up with Sandra & Bill, over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, on Monday evening, as the folks have a busy weekend, out & about with their trailer!
















On the sports front this weekend; we will be watching the Horse Racing from ‘ Glorious Goodwood’  - which has been on all week, then later we will catch the Qualifying’ from the ‘Hungarian Grand Prix’














Then tomorrow we will be back into our ‘Hot’ routine, keeping as cool as possible, drinking lots of cold water, all the fans on, light clothes,  staying in the shade, with all the dogs, eating as little as we need, ‘Positive Thinking’ at all times!



















Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
