,Saturday 27th March 2010.
Another marvelous day this morning with clear blue skies and the sun out from early in the morning; we have all the doors and windows open to let in the fresh air and the dogs are out in the garden going mad chasing around, the vet has still not been to see Boo as we have to keep changing the appointment as we make the visits to the clinic to get Brenda’s dressing changed. We are now trying to fit him in on Monday morning as next week is going to be rather busy; one little problem at the moment is that we have not heard from Chris over in London for five or six days and so have not had a final confirmation of when he is arriving on Thursday as well as no money transfers have arrived even after seven text messages! This is normal but a little worrying to say the least.
Tomorrow is Palm Sunday and in Manilva it is the start of the Semana Santa processions around the village; all the locals carry Palm branches and the streets are covered in them so we are sorry to miss it all happening as it is one of the nicest days. The following weekend there are three processions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the one on Friday taking place after midnight when it takes place in complete silence! Now that the weather has changed for the better it will be a very nice friendly time in the village and so we hoping, fingers crossed, that are plans come into fruition. Last time we where in the village we noticed that there has been a lot of progress on the wine centre and it’s starting to look very impressive so next week watch out for a picture update as I have to go over at the start of the week on various messages.
The Sky system has been acting up all week so we have not been able to watch our regular programmes; last night we just caught the end of day three at the World Track Cycling Championships from Copenhagen and once again Greta Britain had to settle for a silver medal in the men’s team pursuit when the Aussies just pipped us to the Gold, their 5th at the championship.Britain's Victoria Pendleton was in imperious form as she has just collected her fouth successive sprint title depite falling in the best of three final,earlier she had beaten the Australian girl,it is her fifth triumh in in this event in six years. Meanwhile Sir Chis Hoy was beaten in the quater final when his German opponent used controversial tatics by racing away for the three laps,not illegal but not in the spirit of the sport ! It looks like we will not be able also to follow the Grand Prix from Melbourne as it has gone off again;
Thought for the Day;
When everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
