MANILVA LIFE.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY 24TH/25TH JULY 2010.

On Saturday we had a day at home to catch up with the chores, it was also very hot and so we took things easy for the rest of the day.

First thing on Sunday morning Mano rang to say to come and join them up at Bar Rojas for a coffee; it was Mano’s birthday, late fifties, so he was in a celebration mood; Anna,Carlos and Fabio were also with him and they had picked up some fresh “ Churros ” from the small pastry shop at the top of the village to have with our Tea and Coffee, usually you have them with hot Chocolate, you dip the fried batter rings in sugar and then dip them !

Next we went down to the front at Sabinillas to have a couple of drinks and to start we had Bacon Butties and the full English Breakfast to help sustain us for the rest of day ! By then the sun was very hot and the beach was full, all the locals put up their sun umbrellas and form a line along the beach front as far as you can see just above the water line; there is only a very small tide in the Mediterranean, which we watched from the shade of Gary’s Beach Bar !

On the way back we ended up back in Bar Rojas and then went for a siesta; in the evening Calle Mar was closed so the children’s games could tale place and also they erect bouncy castles in the street;

Thought for the Day;

The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you somebody else.
