SUNNY CLOUDY RAIN AND DRY MANILVA THIS SUNDAY

SUNDAY 29^TH/ SEPTEMBER 2103.

We had a little lie in his morning and then after our tea and toast we sorted out the rest of the buffet meal for tonight; it was then time for our showers and just as we finished Chispa came crashing in so we went for a short walk around the bottom of the village below the new park, over the last couple of days they have been sealing the flag stones with a special finish which waterproofs and kills any weeds and also it give them a better look!

The weather today is mixed, as we were out it was warm and sunny, this morning it was cloudy and then as we were sat under the Sonbrajo at Bar Rojas we had a light shower! The ‘Classic Cars’ arrived, all seven of them! The forecasted weather has stopped more of them coming out, see the pictures above!!

Yesterday afternoon a new Venta opened on the road down to Sabinillas just below Mano’s house with spectacular views down the valley to the coast; ‘Venta La Raspita’ run by a family that have a ‘Taberna’ down on the front in Sabinllas; the property is owned by a friend and various people have tried over the years to start a business, with no luck so we wish them all the best as they have spent a lot of time and money getting it ready! See the picture above.

Early this afternoon I have just watched the ‘Motor GP from Aragon – Marc Marquez won and increased his lead in the Championship. Over in Florence at the ‘World Road Race’ it’s raining ‘Cats & Dogs’ and the field has been decimated by crashes, the weather and retirements! I’ am having to follow it on the BBC Sports Text as I can’t get any live coverage as it’s only on BBCTV2 ! At the moment there no British riders left in the race,Wiggins,Froome,Cavendish and just now Geraint Thomas have all given up the job !! You would think that they would be used to a bit of rain! This means that it’s anybody’s race from the Italians,French,Belgians,Dutch, Portugese,Spanish etc.left racing ! Watch this space;

After over seven hours of racing its the rider from Portugal Rui Costa who wins in a close finish from Spain's Rodriguez and Valverde !! 

We are looking forward to Mano and Anna joining us for supper later, we’ve layed on a ‘Helluva’buffet with lots of their favorite things!See the pictures above of the Cold Chicken Buffet !!

Thought for the Day; See above.
