MANILVA THIS WEEKEND.

SATURDAY 2^nd/ MARCH  2013

This morning Andy and Marie joined us for breakfast as Andy was going to help me fix some problems on both PCs; the weather is still cool, in fact it is the coldest spell at this time of the year all over Spain with the temperatures down on average by 6/7 degs –here in sunny Manilva we are a lot better off than the rest of the country as the sun is still around but into next week we have rain forecast. For breakfast we had Campo Eggs, crisp Smoked Bacon, Button Mushroom on fried Bread and ‘Hongroise’ Potatoes, from dinner last night topped with Chorizo – all served with piping hot tea and buttered toast! The ‘Hongroise’ Potatoes were diced cooked new potatoes cooked with diced Onion and Red Peppers and then tossed in sweet Paprika. I’ am now back up to date on the PCs – its full steam ahead! This afternoon I will watch the Premier League over in England and then this evening its Real Madrid v Barcelona which we will watch on the TV if it’s on or we can catch it on the large PC; well Everton had a good win at home and in the late game Liverpool won away at Wigan 0-4 with Suarez scoring a hat-trick! Over here Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1, for the second time this week and are now 13 points behind in 'La Liga' -  Steak and Chips for supper with Button Mushrooms and sliced Green Beans. Last night we caught a very good, compelling film “ We Own the Night ”from 2007 – it is a crime drama based in New York,hense the title which was the motto of the ‘NYPD Street Crime Unit’ It stars Joaquin Phoenix. Eve Mendes, Robert Duval and Mark Wahlberg and a cameo part played by Ed Koch who at the time that the movie was made was the Mayor of New York! Catch it – it’s a ‘Goody’

PS; The pictures above show the 'Mini Motos' racing on Saturday morning down on the 'Rastro' ground,we did not know that it was happening so the photos are courtesy of Gary from the 'The Resident' newspaper.

Thought for the Weekend;

The highest reward for man’s toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.
