MANILVA START OF THE WEEK


MONDAY/TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY/ 29th/31st OCTOBER 2012.


Monday morning was grey and overcast and the forecast for the rest of the week is not good with more rain on Tuesday and Wednesday (It’s still 20degs! ) So it was an at home day as we get ready to welcome Jane on Friday; her room is ready and we have the weekend planned to take into account that the forecast, sadly is not good – wet! We spoke to Tim in the morning on the Skype Video and caught up with his news, he had seen Jo and Ben on Sunday over in Liverpool – he was just about to go out for a game of golf at Old Colwyn Golf Club which if a remember correctly is a nine-hole course over the hillside meadowland with wonderful views of the Irish Sea and Colwyn Bay ! The par three seventh at just 162 yards is signature hole – come on Tim what was your score ?! On the BBCIPlayer I caught up with Saturday Morning Kitchen and a very good Top Gear Special on the Bond Film cars ! In the evening we had Pan Fried Fillets of Chicken with all the left-over vegetables and Potatoes from Sunday !

On Tuesday it was no better so we had another day in and caught up with our reading, Brenda is on book three and I’ am on Book two in the 50 Shades trilogy; the pictures below of Hurricane Sandy hitting New York just show a few of news pictures and the damage caused – it is like something out of a disaster movie – unbelievable ! For supper we had Pan Fried Liver, sliced thin and dusted with flour and seared ‘ Pink ’with Crispy Smoked Bacon, well cooked English Pork Sausage, Sauté Onions and Tomato and a Jus-Roti made from Sunday’s gravy – Brenda did a little selection of vegetables and Baby New Potatoes – comfort food for the gods !

Today, Wednesday it has stopped raining and the sun is trying to get out; the dog came crashing in as she has not been able to get out during the last two day’s rain storms ! I have just made a large pan of Chicken Curry for dinner tonight. The picture below of the council with the Mayor Antonia shows them overlooking the Plaza Pozo Del Rey  development as they are laying the top layer of cement/concrete over the car park, in between the rain – the picture is from the council web-page as I’ am not able to gain access to the site! Brenda has just gone down to the surgery for her blood pressure test but the nurse has not shown up so she is carrying on down on the bus from outside the surgery, as planned, to go down to Sabinillas for her appointment at the hairdressers for the full works !

We are well into the Bond season of films on the Paramount Film Channel; so far this week it has been “ The Man with the Golden Gun from 1974 with Roger Moore, Christopher Lee and a young Brit Exland,now there’s name from the past ! Then “ The Living Day Lights ”from 1987 with Timothy Dalton and a large cast of actors from the time and finally “ Tomorrow Never Dies ”from 1997 with Piers Brosnan!


PS; Tomorrow is a National Bank Holiday – “ All Saints Day ” One of the main things that take place is that everybody visit’s the family plots in the graveyards, which are unusually full of flowers.



Thought for the Day;



To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
