MANILVA SABINILLAS GIBRALTAR.

SUNDAY /MONDAY/TUESDAY 26TH/27TH/28TH SEPTEMBER 2010.

We all had a lie in on Sunday morning before our light breakfast, Jenny is only now starting to feel a little better and is managing to eat a little; we then got going on getting our Sunday roast dinner ready, Chicken with all the trimmings and Brenda’s vegetables. Mano and Anna are joining us tonight – the picture shows us as we were just starting our dinner !The picture of the inside of the Santa Ana church on Saturday was after there had been a wedding, which we just missed and before a special high mass in the evening. On Saturday evening for dinner we had Chicken Curry with Basmati rice and then settled down to watch the TV.

We were up bright and early on Monday morning, the hire car was dropped off and we set off for Gibraltar as soon as possible to beat the jams; the first picture was taken by the assistant news photographer from the window of the news car, on the move! We got across before the morning flights landed and parked up in the multi - storey at the bottom of Main Street. The three sisters set of up Main Street and I made my way to Casemates Square, bought a paper and then went to one of the many restaurants and cafe’s and had the Full – Monty, two eggs, two rashers of Bacon, two sausages, two hash browns,tomatoe, mushrooms and Baked beans with toast and a pint mug of tea ! Three hours later after starting to read my book I met the girls as you can see in the pictures below.

In the evening we went out to the fish and chip restaurant just past Sabinillas and we all had the Haddock and chips with Mushy peas, Jenny has got her appetite back; we sat on the balcony overlooking the view of the golf course and down to the sea on yet another balmy evening; the picture below are before we had our supper. We then drove across to Duquesa marina and the Estepona marina and walked off our fish supper! The weather at the moment is getting better everyday, its cooler during the night but in the day the sun is out and we are reaching again 30 degs+ the girls have just come back from the beach down in Sabinillas and said that it got too hot!

Today I had to go across to Estepona to the bank and another message and when I got back I dropped the sister’s down in Sabinillas; I then made dinner for tonight, Beef stew with vegetables and potatoes – Scouse! One little panic, tomorrow in Spain there is a National strike so I rang the airline and checked, their flight is not affected so they will be heading home – fingers crossed !

Thought for the Day;

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
