CLOUDY BUT WARM AND HOT MANILVA ON THURSDAY

THURSDAY 3^rd/ OCTOBER 2013.

This morning we were awoken by the sound of the crickets, it must be the time of the year and the weather conditions; I think I’ am right in saying that it’s the male crickets rubbing their back legs together to attract the attentions of the females in the mating season – I must try it some time!!

After our tea, toast and fresh fruit I have just made a fresh bowl of my now famous ‘Ensaladilla Rusa’ with Brenda’s help from the ‘Vegetable Department’! We are starting to think about the weekend’s menu’s, Fish in Batter on Friday, Steak a la Plancha on Saturday and on Sunday Lancashire Hot Pot! Brenda has asked   for some of her favorite ‘Minestrone Soup’ which I make with my famous Tomato salsa! She has just shouted that she would also like some ‘Leek and Potato ‘soup on another day – so plenty to keep the ‘Chef’ busy!!

The weather at the moment is overcast and cloudy but no rain as forecast, it’s still warm and the sun is due back later and tomorrow; yesterday evening before we went out to pick Gillian up from Marbella bus station we went up on the roof terrace for our usual ‘Happy Hour’ as it was very hot and sunny!

We have just come back from our lunchtime walk withe dog,it's now officially hot and sunny so we called into Bodega Augustin for a cool drink.

It’s a quiet day at home catching up with chores, Brenda is at the moment washing her hair, next week she is planning to have the ‘Full Works’ down in Sabinillas at the hairdresser’s on Tuesday as we out at the hospital on Monday and Wednesday.

Tonight after supper we will try and find a film to watch after catching the news and weather on TVE1.

Thought for the Day; See above.
