MANILVA TODOS LOS SANTOS ALL SAINTS DAY.


THURSDAY 1st NOVEMBER 2012.


The sky is blue and the sun is out, i’ts 23 degs and no breeze but sadly by Saturday/Sunday the rain is back – sorry Jane! We have just come back from a long walk with the dog around the village as you can see in the pictures above; Brenda is now catching up with washing and drying ready for the weekend as we make more plans for Jane’s visit. On Saturday before we go to the Marriott Resort we are going to call into the Puerto Banus branch of ‘El Corte Ingles ’to window-shop and have a snack lunch – it is the biggest department store group in Europe and ranks fourth worldwide – each one along with the ‘Hipercore’hypermarket adjacent makes it just like ‘Harrods’ On Sunday we have planned to have a ‘Roast Leg of Lamb ’for dinner with all the trimmings, I will finish the Lamb on Boulangere Potatoes and the Rioja as has been chosen ! When she arrives on Friday evening Brenda is going to meet her in the new airport in Gibraltar and we are then going into ‘La Linea de la Concepcion ’for Tapas at ‘Bodeguiya  before we head back along the coast road to ‘Puerto de la Duquesa’ for a Thai meal at ‘ Restaurante Asiatico Kinnaree ’

The village today is very quiet as it’s the “ Todos Los Santo – All Saints Day ” bank holiday; we stopped at the graveyard and bumped into a lot of our neighbors as they were leaving their flowers as you can see above. Over the last couple of days I have been also following the football over in England and here; it has been ‘ Cup Week ’ so in the UK it was the ‘ Capital One ’and here the ‘ Kings ’Both Barcelona and Real Madrid had comfortable wins while over in England Arsenal beat Reading, at Reading,7-5 after being 4 – nil down ! Chelsea had their revenge on Manchester Utd. as they won 5-4 but sadly Liverpool, at home to Swansea lost 1-3 ! Terrible ! Last night after our Curry supper we watched the two bond films; “ Goldfinger ”from 1964 with Sean Connery and Honor Blackman as ‘ Pussy Galore ’ ‘ Oddjob ’was the killer and Bond’s car was for the first time the ‘ Aston Martin DB5 ! Then it was from 1977 “ The Spy Who Loved Me ” with Roger Moore and ‘ Barbara Bach ’ now ‘ Ringo’s wife as the Russian spy !



Thought for the Day;



He who can see the invisible can do the impossible.
