SATURDAY 23rd/
MARCH 2013.
After a lie
in this morning we got up to more heavy rain as forecast for today; last
evening it was a calm and cool evening as we walked down to the ‘Pabellon De
Usos Multiples’ – the council congress centre, as we came along Calle Mar we
saw that the ‘ Cafeteria Plaza’ – the Square Café was having its opening first
night after a refurbishment, when we first arrived here in Manilva it was our
local with Mano,Anna and Carlos as Bar Rojas was not open then, it is also the
‘PP Party’s’ Bar at election time! Sadly no ‘Free’ drinks but it had a good
crowd in as it is being run by a local family – see the pictures below.
Above are
some more pictures of last nights start to the festivities in the congress
centre which has been transformed into the church for the Semana Santa week! The
work at the moment it taking place inside the church and I have not been able.
yet to get inside to take some pictures – watch this space. It was the church
service first and then the village band performed some of the marching songs
that they will be playing for the parades. The first parade of a Tableau is
tomorrow lunchtime along Calle Mar.
Later this
morning I was able to watch, for the first time here ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’
live on the PC using the new channel connection that I have set up – very good!
Not much football this weekend because of the international matches so I just
caught the qualifying rounds of the Malaysian GP in a wet Kuala Lumpur
This
evening we are having for supper ‘Steak a la Plancha’ with Mushrooms, finely
sliced Green Beans and crisp Chips and ‘Yes’ the diet is starting to work as on
my weekly check up at the chemists my weight was down and the blood pressure
was OK !
The final
picture above shows tomorrows dinner; “Tournedos of Stuffed Breast of Lamb”
which we bought from the English butchers on the way back from the hospital; I’
am going to wrap then in Smoked Bacon and sear them on the griddle, then they
are going into a savory White Wine Cream sauce with lots of diced vegetables,
trust me!- to finish in the oven-served with ‘ Pommes Parisienne’ and of course
Brenda’s selection of vegetables.
Thoughts
for the Day;
And what he
greatly thought, he nobly dared.( I Hope! )
All glory comes from daring to begin.
