MANILVA AT EASTER

WEDNESDAY 27^th/ MARCH 2013.

After our tea and toast we waited for the dog to come crashing in and then went for a walk around the village; it was warm and sunny with just a little breeze and the forecast for over the weekend is no rain and more sun, tomorrow it is going to get to 24degs. by lunchtime! Anna called in just before lunchtime for a chat, she is going to pick the papers up on Saturday morning, hopefully and we have asked Mano and Anna around on Sunday for our Easter Sunday Roast – ‘Leg of Spanish Lamb ’with all the trimmings.

I finished my book in the afternoon and have started another one;at the same time we watched the afternoon classic “ The Fall of the Roman Empire ” a epic film from 1964 with Sophia Loren,Stephen Boyd,Alex Guinness.James Mason,Christopher Plummer,Mel Ferrer and Omar Sharif,to name just a few! For supper we had Pork Cutlets with Lyonnaise Potatoes and then settled down to watch the late film – the remake of “ The Flight of the Phoenix ”from 2004 with Dennis Quaid and Giovanni Ribsi? – the original from 1965 had a ensemble cast of James Stewart,Richard Attenborough,Peter Finch,Hardy Kruger,Ernest Borgnine,Ian Bannen,Ronald Fraser,George Kennedy.Dan Duryea and Christian Marquand – now there is a cast and as usual the original is the best!

PS; After supper we called Jack and Lyn over in Melbourne on the Skype video to wish them " Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary " and at the same time 'Happy Easter' It was 10-00pm here and 8-00am over in Australia ! Annette has arranged her flight back with them to Australia and is now booking her flight to us in Spain - meanwhile Jack and Lyn are going to arrange their flight to us from Liverpool or Manchester - then Norah and Jenny will do the same - hopefully! 

Thoughts for the Day;

Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.    Green Christmas,White Easter.   Easter so longed for is gone in a day.
