SUNNY AND HOT MANILVA AT THE START ON ANOTHER WEEK

MONDAY 9^th/ SEPTEMBER 2013.

Well it’s another glorious day here in sunny Manilva this morning so after breakfast we went and washed the car as later in the week I have an appointment at the hospital over in Marbella with a new consultant in the ‘Internal Medicine/Heart ?’ department as my Kidney consultant has asked for me to investigated to see if I’ am suitable for a treatment to manage my sugar levels and at the same time it reduces your appetite,ie;weight!

So on Thursday we are having a little day out over in Estepona at the same time; first thing in the morning on the way to the hospital I will call into out bank to arrange a new card, then on the way back we will call into San Pedro de Alcantara to pick up some ‘Night Lights’ from Brenda’s favorite shop before we end up back in Estepona so as I can go to my barber’s and Brenda can pick up some essential make up, finally we are going to call into the ‘ Carrefour’ hypermarket to see what we can find!

Brenda is having a washing.cleaning,vacuuming,drying and any other ‘Ing’ that she can find day!! So I’ am up in the office catching up on the WWW and ‘Minding’ my own way!

This afternoon the ‘Vuelta 2013’ has its last day in the Pyrenees as it goes from Graus to Sallent de Gallego over 147kms as you can see in the relief map above

Today's stage was won by the young French rider Warren Barguil in a photo-finish.his second stage win in the last couple of days - Nibali's lead was cut by Chris Horner to 28 seconds so he still retains the RED jersey.

Last night over at the ‘USA Open Tennis’ Serena Williams won her 17^th Grand Slam and her 5^th US Open title in a hard fought match against the number two seed Victoria Azarenka;Today it’s the men’s final Nadel v Djokovic – it’s the 37^th time that they have played one another – 21-15 to Nadel!

Tonight for supper I ‘am going to make something that we haven’t had for a long time the classic “ Steak Au Poirve ” with hand crushed Black Peppercorns, sauté Onions, Beef stock, Cream and ‘Flamed’ in Brandy! Brenda is cutting the finely sliced Green Beans and ‘Fries’ as I’ am typing this!  I feel a “Steak Diane”could be next on the menu!! Now there’s one from the past!

Meanwhile over in Mauritius David and Jane are leaving today to fly to Dubai (41degs!) for the second part of their holiday.
