MANILVA OVER THE WEEKEND.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY 13^th/14t AUGUST 2011.

A little lie in on Saturday morning before our breakfast of Poached Eggs on Toast; the forecast is hot, reaching 39 degs.on Sunday! Brenda went on one of her cleaning missions so I retired to the office to catch up on the WWW. After freshing up we went up to Bar Rojas for our lunchtime snifter and to take in the tranquility of Manilva; when we got back Brenda went up on the roof terrace and I caught up with the days sport on the PC; first I watched the end of the Cricket, England annihilated, once again, India and went to the number one spot in world cricket, then I followed the Rugby at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as Wales out played a pathetic display by England and won; I then logged onto the Liverpool v West Brom match, which was a draw but the new players in the Liverpool squad looked good. In the early evening we read our books,I’am into a crime novel by ‘ Nelson Demille ’which is very gripping and Brenda has just finished a ‘ Danielle Steel ’ For supper we had a plain grilled steak with Baked Potato and salad before settling down to watch a film on TV.

On Sunday morning I popped a Chicken into roast to have cold for supper with waxy New Potatoes; Brenda’s sister rang from Birkenhead with some surprise news, her and Norah have spotted some cheap flights and are coming over for a week at the end of September, they are just going on holiday to Mallorca and had no plans to come and see us this year, until now! We went up to Bar Rojas for the Paella, which was very good; on Friday evening we had recommended it to Alison, who we met in the bar, she arrived with her two boys and they had Cheeseburgers and frits as she enjoyed the Paella; Alison likes her food so we had told her about ‘ Venta Garcia ’and the ‘ Hotel Hermitage ’on the road up to Casares above where she is staying, she went for lunch to the Venta on Saturday and had an excellent meal and then made her way up to the Hotel and got a complementary drink for her trouble ! Result!! In the evening after our supper we watched the ‘Super Cup ’ match between Real Madrid and Barcelona in Madrid, the second leg is on Wednesday in Barcelona; it was a 2-2 draw and the Barceloa goals were scored by Villa and Messi,both spectacular !

Thought for the Day;

All appears to change, when we change.
