MANILVA ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 27^th/ JANUARY 2013.

Another sunny day as we got up but with a little wind blowing in; we got our ‘ Sunday Roast’ on the go – Shoulder of Spanish Lamb studded with Garlic and Rosemary finished on Boulangere Potatoes,Cauilflower and Broccoli florets Mornay and Garden Peas with diced Carrots and I made a rather good finger coating Rosemary Gravy. We then freshened ourselves up and went up to Bar Rojas for a drink and Tapas sat under the Sonbrajo.

Later in the afternoon it was the 4^th round of the FA.Cup over in England; Sadly Liverpool went down 3-2 to Oldham, at the same time Spurs lost at Leeds Utd 2-1 and Chelsea could only manage a draw at lowly Brentford 2-2! Over here in ‘ La Liga’ Real Madrid won at home against Getafe 4-0 with Ronaldo scoring a hatrick only for Barcelona at home to Osasuna to win 5-1 with Messi scoring four!

After our dinner in the evening washed down with a rather nice Rioja we settled down to watch a film; “ Ocean’s 13” from 2007 with an ensemble cast including George Clooney,Brad Pitt,Matt Damon, Andy Garcia,Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin in one ‘ Helluva ’ Red dress – just! Later we caught another good Tom Clancy tail with his character ‘ Jack Ryan’played by Harrison Ford in “ Clear And Present Danger” from 1994.

PS; As I am typing this, on Monday morning I have opened the ‘ Brenda Birthday Slush Fund ’ which we are putting something into every week after our call on the Skype video from Jack and Lyn over in Melbourne confirming that they are coming over in June; more details to follow at a later date as I plan the weekend celebrations for Brenda’s birthday- where to go for dinner on the Saturday night and of course where to have Sunday lunch – just to start ?! Brenda has spoken to her sisters over in England and so we arranging where they are all going to stay and transport! Watch this space. As they say you are only ‘ 70’ once !!

Thoughts for the Day;

We all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon.  Family is the most effective form of government.
