MANILVA.

Saturday 2nd May.

Yet another nice day in Manilva,blue skies,warm sun and a little light breeze makes this time of the year the best! After a late breakfast of Fried Eggs ( our neighbour’s keep us in stock ) we went for a short walk and stopped for a lunchtime drink at our local bar; in the evening we had Roast Lamb Chops on Boulangere Potatoes with Cabbage and Mashed Carrots and Turnips! The big match of the day/year between Real Madrid and Barcelona was not on the normal channels as the local Canal Sur 2 pay for view channel was showing it,Mano went to his local bar to watch it and I got it on BBC text on the internet ! As it started I went downstairs to start things off in the oven when we heard a gigantic roar from the top of the street ! Bar Rojas was full of Real Madrid supporters and they had just scored ! He also was showing it also so I slipped out to watch some of the match, but by the time I got there it was 2-1 to Barcelona but there was not a sound from the bar !Last year I followed Real Madrid but this year Barcelona is the team to watch, I could not cheer them on as I would have been massacred so I came home and finished getting dinner ready and followed it on the internet.It turned out to be the match of the decade as Barcelona murdered Real Madrid 6-2 which means that they go seven points clear at the top of the league and have scored 100 goals in 34 games so far with Messi,Eto Henry and Iniesta playing out of this world and with the whole team behind them; Casillas,the Real Madrid goalkeeper who is the best in the world at the moment looked shattered!! Later we watched the match on the main TV programme; the score could have been a lot more except for Casillas’s saves!
