A NOW ' CRISP' & SUNNY MANILVA ON ' THIRSTY' THURSDAY.


THURSDAY 2nd/JANUARY 2020.






























We had a nice long lie in this morning, in fact we overslept, as for the first time in a long while we have no guests staying with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ – ‘Pucci’ went home yesterday evening.















After freshening up I made Brenda stay in bed for the morning as she has a painful knee joint, I gave her fresh fruit(sliced Banana) with brown toast and a mug of tea, meanwhile I made myself a ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’ – smothered in ‘HP’ Brown sauce, with a mug of strong/hot tea.


On the ‘ Andrew Charles Breakfast Show’ on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW”  the ‘Music Quiz’ came on, it was a long 19 second, in reverse track, which with one of the cryptic clues I got straight away, it was ‘ Aled Jones’ with “ Walking in The Air “ I’m in the draw, again, tomorrow morning, watch this space.













Tomorrow morning I’m going down on the bus to Sabinillas, as we need a few more items from ‘ Mercadona’ – I will first pick up the newspapers from the ‘ English Bookshop’ – then catch a taxi and go along to the local market at the far-end of the promenade to pick up some fresh wall plants, before coming back up to the village in the taxi.



This morning it’s still very grey & overcast, with a slight breeze, so the clouds will be slow clearing, by lunchtime only reaching 15 degs+ overnight down to 9 degs, the coldest day so far this year! ( Hic!) Tomorrow and over the first weekend of 2020, it’s staying the same, dry & settled, with sunshine and patchy clouds, hovering on the 15/16 degs mark.










Next week is now looking a little more settled and dry to start, with warm sunshine, as the next ‘ Atlantic’ front is now not due to hit us until next weekend, so we are in for more of the same, as now, during the week, before it goes colder and wet, with the wind getting up to gale-force by next Saturday, watch this space.













For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Grilled Chicken Wings’ with finally sliced ‘French’ Green Beans and Baked Potatoes, on Friday it’s going to be a ‘ Fish n ‘Chip Supper’ - then on Saturday Brenda is going to have her favourite ‘ Confit of Duck Leg’ and I’m having a ‘ Grilled Rib-Eye Angus Steak’ – for a change on Sunday we are having a late ‘ Brunch’ – with the ‘ full-works’ – watch this space.












At the moment we are checking with the Council, when is the ‘Three Kings Parade’ as in the programme of ‘Xmas’ events it shows it on Saturday at 7-00 pm, but I have just be told it’s on Sunday?! Watch this space.














We have ordered the traditional ‘Rosca de Reyes’ cake from the local Bakery, see below.















Last night after supper we settled down to watch the three-part police/drama series, over the next few nights ‘ Bankcroft ‘ with two grisly murders to start, the only problem is that you need to have seen the previous story line in the last series, to follow the latest ongoing story line, as it unfolds, watch this space.














We have the glasses but sadly not the bottle !
