MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY

WEDNESDAY 3^rd/ APRIL 2013.

The rains came over night and in the morning, and then it cleared up as the forecast below shows;

Brenda had to go to the dentists first thing in the morning as she needs some work doing ASAP – he looked after her straight away and she is going back on Thursday morning to start the work which is rather nasty and will take a few days – so she is on ‘Soft’ foods for the time being. She then had an appointment at the surgery at noon to renew her prescriptions and so she took the chance to get her legs checked over – so our doctor is sending her for an X-ray which I have just arranged for early next Monday morning at the hospital over in Estepona;

The council have just announced that they are re-starting the work on the new sports centre down in Sabinillas as the regional government have release some more money, at long last so the work in the first phase is on the outside facilities as you can see in the picture above; Watch this space.

In the evening for supper we had Minute Steak a la Plancha with Sauté Onions, Sautéed Baked Potatoes, sliced thick and dry-cooked, cut Green Beans and a fried Campo Egg on top of my steak! It was time to catch the football; I watched on the large PC the coverage on the sports channel of the Malaga v Bor.Dortmund game – no excitement and a 0-0 draw and so I listened to the Real Madrid v Galatasaray game as it was only on Pay-TV – Real played very well and brushed aside Galatasary, the score was 3-0 – game over! Tonight the three English teams left in the ‘UEFA Europa League are playing, come on Spurs, Newcastle and Chelsea!

Meanwhile over in Chester it was the Awards Dinner and presentations of the ‘The Great Chester, Food, Drink and Lifestyle’ festival; the New Moon Pub Company picked up four awards on the evening including David’s ‘ Outstanding Contribution to the Industry’ as you can see in the picture above !

PS; It’s the first day of the “ Grand National ” three day meeting at Aintree,starting on Thursday so I am just about to look and find coverage on the PCs – it of course always reminds me of my early upbringing over 60 years ago as we lived less than a mile from the track and I played on the course all the time!! -'Bingo' I'am watching the coverage on 'Racing UK'

Thoughts for the Day;

The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one.  The most important thing that parents can teach their children is how to get along without them.
