MANILVA START OF THE WEEK.

MONDAY/TUESDAY 27^th/28^th JUNE 2011.

The weather forecast for this week is sun, sun, sun and more SUN! In parts of Spain during the day it reached 43degs.! We took things easy and just pottered about on Monday and caught up with the jobs around the house; Brenda then had some quality time on the roof terrace and I caught up with the blog-page and Facebook as well as the e-mails. Carolyn phoned to arrange for us to go over on Wednesday morning, early, for six days; we will be back next Tuesday evening late. This means that we will probably not be on line as the connection at the moment over in Guadalmina is not good; we will just have to swim and eat and watch Wimbledon ! For dinner we had Flattened Chicken Breast in a Balsamic Vinegar glaze with a version of Patatas Bravas, made with Tomato Frito and Smoked Marinated Red Peppers ! During the day as I was on the WWW.I tried the connection that Brian set up before he went to Finland so as we could watch English TV via the BBC- IPLAYER,which is not normally available here. It was mainly for ‘ Saturday Morning Kitchen ’and straight away we were watching the video of Saturdays programme,I then realized that this is why we have been able now to watch the Tennis live on the BBC news page and Glastonbury ! We are still waiting after three months for the new fast IT and phone system to be installed, when it is we will then be able to watch all the TV from the BBC live !!

This morning as we were getting freshened up Anna called and stayed for a long chat; we then walked up to Bar Rojas with her and Cheta and had a light Tapas lunch and some cold drinks as we arranged for Anna to water our flowers while we are away; Brenda has just hung out the washing and we are packed and ready for our trip over to the villa in Guadalmina-it’s a hard life but we will survive !

Thought for the Day;

Humor is a rubber sword, it allows you to make a point without drawing blood.
