MANILVA THIS LUNCHTIME.

 WEDNESDAY /THURSDAY 27^TH/28^TH APRIL 2011.

We spent our last day at the villa over in Guadalmina pottering about the house; the sun was out and by the afternoon it was hot; the hairdresser called in to give Joan a perm and we then gave her lunch of Lynda McCartney Sausages with sauté Onions and vegetables! In the evening I picked the folks up from the bus station in Marbella and we were home in time to go up to Bar Rojas and watch the second half of the Real Madrid v Barcelona match; Barcelona won, 2 – nil and Messi scored both ! Real Madrid played dirty and in the second leg Barcelona will murder them! We had Huevos Fritos con Patatas Fritas for supper in the bar as we shouted on our team, at one time I think I got a Yellow Card from Manolo when I started blowing my whistle, he is a Madrid supporter! Over in Australia it was Annette Rose’s birthday, Lyn’s daughter, we left a message on Facebook,Happy Birthday Annette have a “ Helluva ” Day !

This morning after a little lie in Brenda has switched to her cleaning mode; I went round to the chemists to pick up the tablets! It is very warm and sunny so we then went for a walk with Cheta; as you can see in the pictures below she has had the full makeover, hair cut, full trim and even her toe nails painted bright red ! She has a Diamante covered bow also, for special occasions she is a proper little “ Tart ” now, not that she was not one before ! Down by the new Wine Centre they have been busy in the last week, they have demolished the steps and Council Workshops and are clearing the top car park as you can see in the pictures but we have not found out what the final plans are, yet ! Watch this space as Mario, our local councilor is the man responsible so when I catch up with him we will find out what is going to happen. The house is ready, the new pictures look great and Tim and Thea’s bedroom and dressing room are ready; the bookings are made and the flags are going out, in the morning the hire car is being dropped off and we will then stock up from the supermarket’s with Champagne,Cava,Rioja,local White and Rose wine,beers,Gin and Bacardi, as well as food, the party starts here !  The countdown to Friday evening and their arrival at Malaga Airport for the state visit is nearly over.1 day,3 hours and 30 mins ! Watch out for the picture's and report.




Thought for the Day;


Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the Freedom to make mistakes.
