A GLORIOUS WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY.

TUESDAY 29^th/ OCTOBER 2019.

We had another nice lie in this morning as the village is very quiet, as the schools have re-opened after half-term, after freshening up Brenda took ‘Sunny ‘ out for her first walk of the day, last night on our last walk of the day, with her, we bumped into ‘ Big Brian & Andy’ having a late ‘ Tapas’ supper in ‘Bar Castillo’ – Brian has found a house in sunny Manilva, at the top of the village, with Andy’s help, the only problem being the parking, as usual, meanwhile in two weeks time, Andy is off back to Thailand for his months holiday, he has to change planes in Moscow!

As I was on the breakfast rota I had a ‘Toasted Smoked Bacon Butty’ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce, open on brown for Brenda, with sliced Baby Mushrooms, sautéed in the bacon juices with a knob of butter, some of which ended up in my butty!  Mugs of strong/hot tea helped to wash them down!!

The ‘ Council’ had just announced the details about the closing of the underground car park ( 3 floors) below the Police station,  for the annual cleaning/maintenance, from tomorrow until the 15^th November! Watch this space!!

PS; I’m parked on the road-side, in front of the Police station at the moment, I will have to spot a place, again, after my travels on Friday morning!

We have yet another glorious day down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol ‘ starting this morning, the sun was out early after a beautiful sunrise over the Mediterranean.

See below;

The sky is clearing, with a few patchy clouds hanging around, as there is a light breeze coming up ( Levante) so by lunchtime the sky will be bright blue, like yesterday, it’s due to reach 25 degs+! Over the next few days it’s staying the same, even going a little warmer, over night only going down to 16/17degs+ - unseasonally warm for the time of the year, then on Sunday, as the cold ‘Atlantic ‘front come in, it’s going to drop down to 17/18 degs with the threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ back in the air, next week is staying the same, even going a little colder at times, overnight as low as 12/13 degs!! Watch this space.

This evening for our supper we are having ‘ Grilled Gammon Steaks ‘ – topped with seared Pineapple Rings and a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg, served with Broccoli Florets & Garden Peas, not forgetting the triple-cooked ‘ Chips’

Tomorrow I’m going to make my now famous “ Chicken & Mushroom ‘Tarragon’ Pie “ with a crusty Puff-Pastry!

Yesterday afternoon/evening we caught up with the ‘Quiz Shows’ that we follow; ‘ Tenable, Tipping Point, The Chase, Only Connect & University Challenge’ – after supper we caught the next gripping episode of “ Dublin Murders “ as the lady Detective went deep-under cover, it’s on again this evening! Watch this space.

PS; We just missed the 'Music Quiz' this morning, it's 'The Beatles'  but will catch it again tomorrow morning to get the six second opening 'Riff' - watch this space. 

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
