SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY

WEDNESDAY 22^nd/ MAY 2013.

This morning we caught the bus down to Sabinillas, as we got to the bus stop next to the new park they had just started on the wall display; they are using individual tiles not small mosaic ones so it is going up quickly as you can see in the pictures below. The sun is out and it is already hot, 23degs and rising!

The reason that we went down to Sabinillas was to go to the phone shop were we bought Brenda’s new phone as the gentleman was very helpful and spoke a little English; I got him to have a look at my mobile as the ‘Jazztel’ help system does not have a English helpline, he has sorted the phone out for me by totally resetting the system but that means that I now have to install all over again all my connections ie. Facebook, Skype, Googlemail, Sextonstravels, Internet etc! The good news is that the contacts list is fine – watch this space.

We then went and found the new English tea shop that has opened called “Vetty’s” which is just behind the sea front, we had a proper cup of tea from the pot with tea strainer and fresh milk – I also had a very nice Smoked Gammon Bap – all the fresh homemade cakes and scones on display look very appetizing for another day! See the picture above.

This afternoon I will be watching the ‘Giro d’Italia’ stage 17 which is from Caravaggio to Vicenza over 214kms – the stage is flat for the first 190kms but there is then a short/sharp climb before the dash downhill to the finish 16kms away! A possible Cavendish win?! Not to be, the climb caught him out - the Italian rider Giovanni Visconti wins the stage,his second in this years tour! 

Brenda has more washing out as it is a good drying day and she is also catching up with ironing, so I’ am keeping out of the way in the office! This afternoon I bumped into our friend Barbara and we are now going around to her house in the early evening as her husband Peter set up my mobile when I first got it - it is past me so hopefully he will get it sorted out ! Watch this space.

This evening for supper we are having Baked Pork Chop with Boulangere Potatoes, Cabbage with Alselgas and Carrots before we settle down to watch a bit of TV.

Thoughts for the Day;

Luck is believing you’re lucky.  Luck never gives; it only lends.  Luck never made a man wise. The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.
