A VERY SUNNY AND HOT MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY

WEDNESDAY 24^th/ JULY 2013.

This morning after all Brenda’s efforts up on the roof terrace its time to take things easy for the rest of the day; we had our tea and toast and then called Jack and Lyn for our pre-arranged Skype video call to them back in a rather cold Melbourne; they are both fine and recuperated after their long flight with two stop-offs, one in Dubai and then in Singapore – with very long walks for the transfers! They are glad to be home after their ‘Helluva’ holiday in England with Norah and Jenny and us here in sunny Manilva! Health and Happiness to both of them!!

Meanwhile back here in a very hot and sunny Manilva, by the weekend it’s going to teach the high 30s! So the ‘Patron Saints Day’ on Friday will be a ‘Cracker’ – it starts with the fireworks and the ‘Chi Chi Pom Band’ at 8-00am, then a street party in Calle Mar for the kids before the Mass and then the procession of the ‘Santa Ana’ tableau in the early evening, followed by dancing and singing to a live group until the wee small hours at the top of Calle Mar! We are going up to Bar Rojas for the evening and will have a ‘Fish Supper later.

This afternoon we will be out on the newly painted roof terrace for our early evening ‘Happy Hour’ catching up with our reading and listening to the local music radio station, as usual.

Tonight for supper we are having cold Herb Roasted Chicken with Brenda’s mixed salad and my sautéed Potatoes; last night film was the political thriller “ The Manchurian Candidate ”from 2004 with Denzel Washington in the main role and Liev Schreider?! With also Jon Voight and Meryl Streep playing a very weird and domineering mother – watch out for the exciting climax!!

PS; GEORGE ALEXANDER LOUIS is the new baby's name; HRH Prince George of Cambridge !
