MANILVA START OR THE WEEK.

MONDAY26th/TUESDAY27th/WEDNESDAY 28th MARCH 2012.

Well the weather forecast for the week is better after today; it is getting back to sunshine and clear skies but with a little breeze. Monday was still cloudy and overcast with the threat of rain – which did not arrive! We had an at home day and caught up with all the chores around the house; in the evening after dinner of Mustard Smeared Minute Steak with Chips we settled down and caught a film ; “ The Punisher “ from 2004 was taken from a ‘ Marvel Comics ’character played by Thomas Jane ’ ? With ‘ John Travolta ’as the ruthless baddie in an all action packed movie.

On Tuesday morning after our walk with Cheta I settled down in the office and caught up with the WWW. The picture of Livi in London was posted on Facebook; she is one of Lyn’s Great Grandchildren and she is over in England with her mum’s parents on a trip that we think they won in a competition – TBC – when we next talk to Lyn and Jack ! It was a good washing and drying day for Brenda but not for sitting out on the roof terrace, in the evening after supper of Flattened Breast of Turkey with Basmati Rice and Mushroom cream sauce it was time for football ; on Spanish TV we watched the Champions League Quarter Final first leg between Real Madrid and Apoel Nicosia – Real struggled until the last twenty minutes but won 0-3 and over in Portugal Chelsea had a good win over Benfica 0-1 but the best games where over in England in the FA Cup Quarter-final replays ; Spurs beat Bolton 3-1 and play Chelsea and Everton beat Sunderland 0-2 and will play Liverpool ! in the semi-finals to be played at Wembley. The late film was the classic – “ Seven ” from 1995 is the horror thriller with neo-noir elements about the seven deadly sins, Gluttony, Greed,Sloth,Lust,Pride,Envy and Wrath starring Morgan Freeman,Brad Pitt,Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey – Watch it at your peril !!

Today I shot down to the bank in Sabinillas and then on our walk with Cheta called into the surgery as Brenda had an appointment with our Doctor to update her prescriptions. Tonight we are having ‘ Albondigas ’in a rich Tomato sauce ( from the deep freeze ) and topped up from the butchers with his homemade ones with Baby New Potatoes. It is then more football – watch this space.

PS; Barcelona drew at AC Milan 0-0 and Bayern Munich beat Marseille 0-2 in their first leg matches in the Champions League.


Thought for the Day;


Our lives are like the course of the sun. At the darkest moment there is the promise of daylight.
