MANILVA - GIRONA ON MONDAY


MONDAY 29th/ APRIL 2013


Well the dog stayed with us until the late afternoon when Isobel came home; the weather over the weekend has been sunny but cool and on Monday the wind picked up and as forecast it was cold. Rain was forecast but did not happen and tomorrow it is more of the same before the rest of the week gets back to normal; in the rest of Spain they have had severe rain storms and new heavy snow falls in all the Northern regions and on all the mountains, Tim and Thea are having a few days away in Majorca, I hope they have packed their macks, wellies and umbrellas as it is rather damp at the moment to say the least!

Mano called in later in the afternoon and picked up the paper’s, he has not been working over the weekend and Anna has had some family over from Manchester so her and Sally Ann have been busy entertaining; it was an at home day as we caught up ( Brenda!) with the house work and washing.

Over in England in the evening at the Guildhall in London it was the announcements of the ‘Worlds 50 Best Restaurants’ by the “ Restaurant Magazine”  ‘El Cellar De Can Roca’ in Girona above Barcelona was named the best, this is the first year that the restaurant has held the title, though it has been on the list for eight years; the restaurant is helmed by three brothers,Josep,Jordi and Joan Roca – see the pictures above.Better pictures and menu details will follow!

In the evening for supper we had cold Pork with all the leftovers, we always prepare more just for this reason and then settled down to watch the Monday night classic movie called “ Turbulence ” from 1997 – a thriller in the ‘Air’ as Ray Liotta goes mad as only he can and Lauren Holly has to deal with him and land the 747 at Los Angeles Airport ! Check to see if she did!!

PS; The pictures below show the work update’s on Tuesday morning around the village.


Thoughts for the Day;


Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.   Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer. Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
