MANILVA.

Thursday/Sunday 20th/23rd. November.

On Thursday morning we shot across to the garage to check on the money transfer; when we then found out that still nothing had happened a lively and loud discussion took place about the ongoing saga and what we thought should happen very quickly in the next few days! First thing on Friday we did the weekend shopping and when we returned to the house we found an e-mail from the garage saying that the money had arrived in their account and that the transfer,in stages, would take place from Monday under Spanish banking rules!!We also received a phone call from the Marriot Resort to confirm our free stay next weekend, when it is our wedding anniversary,in the Estepona complex at a two bed roomed apartment on the front over looking the sea with all the facilities including swimming pool and Jacuzzi.This comes from when we did the sales training earlier in the year,we also will use one of our vouchers to go out to dinner on Saturday night at Da Bruno in Cabopino !They are going to re book us for more training in February next year as well! In the evening we had Pan –Fried Fillets of Salmon with New Potatoes and Garden Peas for supper.As the weather is so nice we went for a walk on Saturday morning around the village and bumped into Mano,Anna and Carlos and ended up back at Carlos’s house watching the tennis,Spain are in the final of the Davies Cup against Argentina and are leading at the moment.In the afternoon I watched the report of the City match,on the BBC,on the PC,they beat Arsenal and later during the night Ricky Hatton won in Las Vegas!! So the Guerrero family are very happy!In the evening we had Steak and Frits for supper.Today we had our usual lie in and then set off around the village,we ended up in the Sports Hall watching the Basketball,Manilva won against Marbella.On the way back we met Anna with Fabio and after she had dropped him off at the grandparents, we ended up in Bar Rojas for some drinks and their lovely fresh Tapas made by the wife of the owner,Manuelo,including a straight from the oven Tortilla! Tonight we are having our Brunch for supper!!
