THURSDAY/FRIDAY 9th/10th JUNE 2011 .
After our morning tea and toast with some fresh fruit we set off for our walk around the village with Cheta; on the way back we bumped into Anna ( Again ) and Carlos sat outside Bar Rojas this time so we joined them for our regular lunchtime drink. The weather, as forecast is getting hotter and this weekend we should be over 30degs. for the first time this year ! As we came back to the house after putting the world to rights one again we planned our weekend out; For supper I made a Provencale Sauce with Red Peppers and cooked some Chicken Albondigas (Meatballs) which I then added to the sauce and in the evening Brenda cooked some Penna Pasta ( Rigatoni ) which was a nice change.
Today we went down to Sabinillas to do the supermarket shopping, pick up the English Language newspapers and post some Birthday cards ( Watch out if your birthday is in the next few days ! ) When we got back we then went for a walk down to the Friday local market by the Sports Ground for fresh flowers, as we approached the complex we could hear lots of excited children shouting; it was the Junior School Sports Day as you can see in the picture below, it was bedlam as the various mixed classes played one another, they even had the village Ambulance on standby ! On the way back I took a picture of the pool which had just been painted ready to be filled next week. We called into out local butchers and picked up our steak for dinner on Saturday, on Sunday we are planning to have Roast Loin of Pork, We then went up to Bar Rojas for our Friday lunchtime snifter ! As we were taking in the hot sunshine a Senor’ in Blue medical overalls came along and introduced himself; it turned out that he is the village Dentist and has practiced in Manilva for over 25 years, but he was also the White coated Master of Wine at the Wine Tasting last week ! We have our own Dentist in Estepona, which we found before we came to live in the village, but we have passed his surgery many times just off Calle Mar, he was very nice and even bought us a drink before he was called back by his receptionist ! Thanks Victor ! As we got back into the house my mobile went, it was Carolyn from Guadalmina asking us if we could do four days next week as they have to fly off to Italy, which is fine, and also she asked us to pencil in a week at the end of the month as they have to go to England.The only thing that we are now going to miss is the Music Concert,on the open air terrace for the end of term celebrations of the School of Music next Friday evening. Finally tomorrow is the day for the ‘ Investiture’ of the New Mayor, watch this space as all will be revealed as the gossip mongers have been about !
Thought for the Day;
Anything looked at closely becomes wonderful.
