MANILVA AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

THURSDAY 29^th/ FRIDAY 30^th/ NOVEMBER 2O12.

On Thursday our 41^st wedding anniversary we had a nice at home day; Anna as you can see below joined us for Bucks Fizz ( Friexenet Cordon Negro ) along with scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon at lunchtime – in the evening Brenda fancied Chicken and Chips so I made Goujons of Chicken with our local Breadcrumbs from the bakery, on the side we had our own Tomato Salsa – a little bit of what you fancy does you good!

Friday was as usual our shopping day down in Sabinillas; the weather is staying as forecast sunny and clear with Blue skies but cold, in fact it was the coldest day that we have had in Manilva,13degs and last night it went down to 6degs! I spoke to Brian and Lilli on Facebook and they where just expecting a snow storm to hit Pori and the temperature this weekend will be down to -20degs! – I hope that they have their winter woolies on! After we came back we went for a walk with Cheta down to the local market by the sports complex to pick up some flowers and on the way back I managed to get into the Pozo Del Rey car park development and take the pictures below of the ongoing work. In the evening for supper we treated ourselves to a whole ‘Rodaballo’- Turbot – from the fish market, they have it at this time of the year, I baked it in the oven with some large shelled Gambas and after taking the four filets off, they are firm and succulent, I coated them with a classic ‘ Beurre Noisette ’- Nut Brown Butter, we had some Baby New Potatoes and Garden Peas on the side – food for the Gods, and us !!

We then settled down and watched a film on TVE1; it was a very good court room drama/thriller called “ Primal Fear ”from 1996 with Richard Gere and Laura Linney as the opposing attorneys, Edward Norton, as the defendant, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the USA and UK, and also John Mahoney( Frasier) and Alfre Woodard as the Judge – it has a good twist right at the end !

Thought for the Day;

A truth that’s told with bad intent Beats all the lies you can invent.
