MANILVA TODAY.

WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY/FRIDAY 30^th/1^st/2^nd NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011.

We had a lie in after the celebrations of our ‘Ruby Wedding Anniversary ’yesterday; the weather forecast is fine but a little cloudy on Friday then getting better over the weekend and warmer into the start of next week.

It was a at home day as we caught up with the chores around the house and later I went on the WWW. and checked out our e-mails, Facebook and Twitter messages then posted the blog of our night out. In the evening we had Pork Cutlets and Lyonnaise Potatoes for dinner before we settled down to watch the TV; the high lights of the Carling Cup from England where on the sports channel, Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 and Manchester City beat Arsenal 1-0 but after the draw for the semi-finals they are going to meet again, the big surprise was that Manchester Utd.lost to Crystal Palace in extra time 1-2 so the other semi-final is between Crystal Palace and Cardiff.

On Thursday we went down on the bus to do the weekend shopping as the forecast for Friday was not as good; we caught the bus back up on the round trip, as we got back to the house Mano and Anna called in for a chat and catch up with the village gossip. One bit of news that was not on our local or national TV stations was that the new airport at Gibraltar opened last Saturday, they are still arguing about the land and access and it’s still a very emotive subject here in Spain ! I then made a Chicken Curry for supper which we had with Brenda’s famous Basmati Rice ! After dinner we watched the Spanish Soap that we follow, which was very moving and also funny at the same time.

PS; I have just got hold of some pictures of the new airport at Gibraltar taken in the last few days and some other pictures for information. See above !!

Today. Friday, it is a cloudy as forecast and a little cooler as you can see in the pictures below of the new Tourist Information signs that have gone up in the last few days; they are in Spanish and English and also have Braille-very impressive. Brenda has just come back from a quick trip down to Sabinillas,yesterday we bought the dog a sleeping bed/ cushion for Xmas but it was a little small when we tried her in it yesterday ! She got a lift down in a large Silver Mercedes sat in the back like the Queen of Manilva and then caught the bus back up with new larger version.Cheta at the moment sleeps in a card-board box at home ! The picture above is Cheta trying out her new bed – she fits ! Tonight we are having for supper Steaks of Hake in Spanish Batter ( Floured ) and cooked in deep oil with Patatas Bravas, I’ am just going to make the Tomato Salsa.

Thought for the Day;

I’ am not a genius; but I am a terrific package of experience.
