MANILVA THIS WEEKEND.

FRIDAY/SATURDAY/SUNDAY 21ST/22ND/23RD JANUARY 2011.

Friday morning was shopping morning as usual with us calling into the three supermarkets and the English butchers; the weather forecast for the weekend is not good with wind, rain and getting a lot colder, the rest of Spain is getting it worse with snow and extreme cold with temperatures dropping to below freezing even during the day, it is the coldest spell in living memory so we are still very lucky as we are only down to 14 degs but we are at the moment in the middle of rain storms! In the evening we had Haddock in crispy batter with Mushy Peas and thick cut chips for dinner which reminded us of “ Enoch’s ”in Llandudno ! Just as we finished Lilli and Aulikki called in to take us out for a drink, Bar Rojas was closed so we ended up in Bar Nacho which got very loud and noisy as the card game started ! Brian came along later after he had finished, he is off to Liverpool on Saturday morning on a surprise visit to his sister’s Claire 30th birthday party but Lilli is taking her mum to the airport on Sunday and is on her own till Wednesday.

We stayed in on Saturday as the weather changed,Cheta came and played around the house in the morning and in the evening we had Steak and Frits for supper before we watched the football and a film.

Sunday was back to normal as we had a roast, in the morning we got things ready, Roast Chicken, Chestnut stuffing with crispy Smoked Bacon and thick gravy, Leek and Mushroom bake,Cabbage,Cauilflower in Cheese sauce, Whole Baby Carrots and Garden Peas along with Herb Roasted Potatoes, we then had Sausage butties for a snack lunch .Mano and Anna joined us along with Lilli in the evening as we caught up with all the local news and gossip from Mano.


Thought for the Day;


No one really listens to any one else, and if you try it for a while you’ll see why.
