FRIDAY 23rd/
AUGUST 2013.
We started
this morning down at the local market by the sports complex; Brenda picked up
some fresh flowers and I spotted a pair of Brown Leather slip-ons as for around
the house as my slippers have given up the ghost! We then shot down to
Sabinillas for our regular shopping, I called into the bank and Brenda went to
the local wholesale/retail vegetables shop and then we went along to
‘Mercadona’ before picking up the papers from the English book shop. After
un-packing back at the house I went down to our butchers for our regular ‘Steak
a la Plancha’
This
weekend down in Sabinillas its all happening; last night in the ‘ El Parque Del
Duque’ there was a ‘Tango Festival’ then tonight there is live music concert by
a local group at one of the main beach front bars followed by a ‘Blue Trail’
beach walk under the full moon; all along the sea front promenade there is a
‘Medieval Market taking place until the end of the month. Then tomorrow morning
there is a ‘Raft Race’ in the Duquesa marina, then on Sunday it’s the turn of
Sabinillas’s saints day “ El Verbana De San Luis” ! Meanwhile up in sunny
Manilva – nothing !! See the pictures above.

weekend is another big sports weekend taking place all over here, Europe and in
the UK; Football in ‘La Liga and the ‘Premier League’ - ‘Motor GP’ in the Czech Republic at Brno and
the ‘Belgian Grand Prix’ at the legendary ‘Spa Francorchamps’ circuit,

And finally
the “ La Vuelta 13 ” – ‘The Tour of Spain’ starts tomorrow with a Time-Trial from Vilanova de Arosa to Sanxenxo over 27kms. Next weekend it’s coming down

Tonight for
supper we are having Fillets of Pink Trout cooked ‘A La Meuniere’ with ‘Patatas
Bravas’ and Garden Peas before we catch a film later.We watched " A Perfect Murder " from 1998 starring Michael Douglas,Gwyneth Paltrow,Viggo Mortensen and David Suchet in a re-make of the classic Alfred Hitchcock film " Dial M for Murder "
Later I watched on the 'Paramount Film Channel' a film that I was reading about in one of this mornings papers! " Harry Brown " from 2009 - it stars Michael Caine as a vigilante ex-Royal Marine living out his life after his wife dies and his best friend is murdered in a inner-city rough estate,the film makes the 70s 'Death Wish' films of Michael Winner look like a walk in the park! Caine shows his dark side in this violent,shocking and horrific story - watch it at your peril !
PS; Iain Glen is in the film and it remained me of the time back in the Hotel Seventy Degrees when he stayed at the hotel with Phil Daniels,Tilly Vosbourgh and Joanne Walley (Kilmer) back in the late 70s when they were just starting and they were in a realistic BBC film being made in sunny Rhyl!That's a story for another day!!
PPS; Brenda's new Smart Mobile phone has just arrived by courier ! It's a LG - E 400 'Life's Good' Watch this space !!
