SUNNY AND A STILL VERY WARM MANILVA ON THURSDAY

THURSDAY 5th/ SEPTEMBER 2013.



This morning we both went to go down on the early bus to Sabinillas, in fact we had a lift down from one of the regular locals that takes us when he is passing! I went to the bank to make a transfer and collect some cash, and then I went to the office to arrange to change my Driving licenses to Spanish, it only opens three times a week from 5-00pm/9-00pm so its back to Plan ‘B’! Brenda went off for her morning ‘Constiutional’along the beach and I ended up having a Sausage buttie and reading the Daily Mail in the square, Brenda found me later and we caught the bus back up to the village but not before she found a pair of ‘ Black Leggings’ in a local store!

When we got back I made another bowl of ‘Ensaladilla Rusa’ and blanched the ‘French Fries’ to have with tonight’s “ Special Manilva Burger ” – Homemade, by our butcher, with crisp Lettuce, sliced Beef Tomato,Gherkins,sauté Onions, crispy Smoked Bacon and mine topped with a fried Campo Egg and Chorizo and Brenda’s with a slice of Gouda Cheese! Crisp French-Fries( Cut by Brenda) on the side and Heinz Tomato Ketchup!See the picture above !

Yesterday lunchtime Anna finally called in after her weeks holiday over in Manchester and North Wales,so we had a good catch-up and gossip.

This afternoon the ‘Vuelta 2103’ stage 12 is from Maella down to the coastal resort and the original Roman town of Tarragona over 165kms. Another stage tomorrow before they hit the ‘Pyrenees’ on Saturday!

The 'Vuelta' came down to the coast in Salou and then went past the 'PortaVentura' theme park into Tarragona,the winner of today's stage 12 was the Belgium 'World Road Race Champion' Philippe Gilbert in his 'Rainbow' jersey - no change in the overall standings with Nibali still in the RED jersey.

On this afternoon's weather forecast on TVE1 something called " RAIN" has appeared over sunny Manilva tomorrow and over the weekend!! Whats happening here then??  'I don't believe it' !!!!!! This is not right !!!

No luck with a good film last night so we will try again this evening.
