MANILVA THIS SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 26th FEBRUARY 2012.

We had a lie in on Sunday morning and after our tea and toast we got the Sunday Roast on the go – Chicken – with all the trimmings along with Brenda’s vegetables including creamed Leeks for a change; after freshening up we went for a short walk and sat in the warm sunshine down at the Mirador. We then walked back up to Bar Rojas and sat outside to have a drink and a Paella lunch which is freshly made and is ready about half past two; Brenda has a Tapas portion and I have a ‘ Ration ’ half portion. It’s the only way to eat Paella ! When we got back Brenda went up on the roof terrace to finish her book and I retired to the office to watch the football; I first caught the game between Arsenal and Spurs, it was the best game in ages, as I joined it Arsenal were 2-0 down and looked finished, by half time they had scored two good goals 2-2 game on ! In the second half Arsenal played some sublime football and saw Spurs out of the game with three more goals 5-2 the end result!! Up in Scotland at Murrayfield the Scots lost to France 23-17 in the Six Nations Rugby; It was then time for the ‘ Carling Cup Final ’from Wembley between Cardiff and Liverpool ; it started bad for Liverpool when Cardiff scored after 20 mins. and it took until the 60th min. for then to equalize with a goal from Skrtel, Carrol was taken off and Kuyt scored within five mins, to make the score 2-1 then Liverpool sat back and allowed Cardiff to score in last two mins 2-2 After extra time it went to a penalty shoot out – Gerrard’s penalty was saved and then Gerrard missed the penalty for Cardiff to give Liverpool the win – Anthony Gerrard Stevens younger cousin !! Luck Liverpool !!!
In the evening after dinner we caught up with the news and sport over here; Real Madrid won 0-1 with a Ronaldo back heel and Barcelona hung on against Atl- Madrid 1-2 so there is no change at the top of ‘ La Liga ’Madrid are ten points ahead. Sunday night is film night so we had a choice of films so we watched on TVE1 ( No Adverts ) “ Taken ” 2008 which starred Liam Neeson as a retired CIA agent trying to find his seventeen year old daughter in Paris,she had been abducted by Albanian crooks to be sold into prostitution – an all action thriller – one to watch.


Thought for the Day;


It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull.
