MANILVA

Friday 10th October.

We stayed local as the weather is not good at the moment but it is still warm even when it’s raining! In Sabinillas we called into the bookshop to exchange some book’s, we are reading more all the time in fact Brenda is now ahead of me. In the supermarket we spotted some Corned Beef so when we arrived home I made some Hash with the left over mashed potatoes from the night before, which we really enjoyed for a change.During the night we had a very bad thunder storm,when it rains in Spain it sure does!!

Saturday 11th October.

As we got up this morning and I checked the e-mails I found a very nice surprise; Jenny Faux,one of our very loyal and hard working staff from our time at the Seventy Degrees, had sent us a newsy e-mail,she also mentioned that Margaret our breakfast cook and Janet our pastry chef have been following us on the blog as well ! Thanks to all of you and lots of love. Anna is in North Wales at the moment arranging her Pension payments as she is now a pensioner ! Tonight we are having for dinner Rump Steak and Frits which we picked up from the English butchers the other day.Next week we should have been away again house sitting for Clive and Carolyn but they have just rung us to say that they have had to change their plans;so now we are going to look after the house at the beginning of November when they go to London for a week,this time they are leaving their dog so they want us to call in and make friends with him!After dinner we are going out to a Beach Bar in San Pedro as Vidal is playing there and he has arranged for some Brazilian lady dancers to perform! Watch out for the pictures,it’s a hard life being a photographer!
