MANILVA.

Monday 1st/ Tuesday 2nd June 2009.

Monday 1st.

We had a little lie in after the night before; the sun was out and it soon reached 30 degs. with some parts of Spain as high as 38 degs ! There is still a little breeze so it is very pleasant and also it is excellent drying weather, so Brenda tells me ! We have sorted ourselves out and are back to normal in the house, the ten day forecast is also very good so it will be nice for when Jack and Lyn arrive on Friday.In the afternoon Mano called in and we went down to Sabinillas to buy a new wall mounted shower fitting; when we got back Mano fixed it to the wall with a special tile drill bit and so the bathroom is ready and updated for our guests. In the early evening we retired to the roof terrace for our regular PM cocktails, after supper we watched some Spanish TV and caught up with the local Manilva TV station, which is just around the corner, the new Fire Station is nearly ready but there are no signs of the Fire Engines yet! Watch out for the pictures.

Tuesday 2nd.

It is even hotter today as we set off early to the main hospital just past Marbella; it was for the Ultra Scan on the Prostrate,they told me I was not to have any food in the morning and as usual the appointment was on time and the very efficient nursing sister and the consultant were very pleasant.The only problem was that I had to drink a litre of water after the first scans,to fill the Bladder! for the second lot of pictures and wait for the water to take effect !! On the way back we dropped down to Estepona and called into the bank and then went to the large Hypermarket to stock up ready for the Australian relatives at the weekend ! This afternoon we are taking things easy and are going up on the roof terrace to catch up with some reading,I am reading a Wilbur Smith book at the moment,Tim introduced me to his books last year and lent me a couple of hard backs whilst Brenda is into James Patterson ! Tonight we are having Steak and Frits for supper,as a treat,as I have started to change the diet and have already stopped eating a lot of goodies!
