MANILVA YESTERDAY.

WEDNESDAY 18th APRIL 2012.

Wednesday was cloudy and over cast but picked up later; the forecast is more of the same for the next couple of days then warm and sunny over the weekend. It was an at home day so Brenda caught up with the washing and ironing as it excellent for drying, meanwhile I caught up with the blog and the WWW and then went on the BBC IPlayer to watch Saturday Morning Kitchen and the new Matt Lucas show and then the start of 40th series of Later with Jools Holland. On Tuesday evening Mano called to say that he was up in Bar Rojas as he had finished work early so we went up and watched the second half of the Real match – Manuel the owner who is a big Real fan was gutted when the Spanish player Gomez who plays for Bayern scored the very late winning goal. In the morning I made the Steak, Kidney and Mushroom Pie which I finish with pastry in the evening before putting it in the oven as you can see in the before and after pictures below ! We then watched the Chelsea v Barcelona game from Stamford Bridge on TVE1, Barcelona had 73% possession bur failed to convert it to goals whilst Drogba spent more time on rolling on the ground and with Chelsea’s only shot on goal scored the winner ! Next week it is the second legs of both games here in Spain – as it happens the final is being played at the Allianz Stadium in Munich in May – so watch out Real Madrid !! – it’s Bayern’s home ground !!!
The late film was an old classic , “ Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid ” from back in 1969. Paul Newman and Robert Redford playing the lead roles of the two characters loosely based on true facts,nice to see the whole film right from the start. During the day on one particular film channel it is the John Wayne season so all the great ‘ Wayne ’ films are on – too many to mention ( ie. True Grit )


Thought for the Day;


If you believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.
