SUNNY AND STILL WARM MANILVA ON TUESDAY

TUESDAY 15^th/ OCTOBER 2013.

We had a little lie in this morning and then after our breakfast we showered and freshened up; it was then time to go for a walk with dog, I stopped at our local bank for some cash, then on the way back we called into the butchers for some things and finally went to the chemists in Calle Mar for some sachets for Brenda’s blood circulation that are not on prescription, they are prescribed by our doctor but for some reason they are not on the list!

We have a quiet week so we are taking things easy and relaxing, the weather forecast for the next seven days is settled with warm sunshine and the temperatures are steady at 25/26degs! The menus for the rest of the week have been sorted; tonight we are having Baked English cut Pork Chops with Glazed Apple slices, Cabbage with Alselgas, diced Carrots and Turnips and ‘Breton style’ Potatoes using diced Onions, Red, Green and Yellow Peppers fried with the boiled diced local Potatoes; them tomorrow I’ am making my now famous ‘Chicken and Mushroom Pie’ For Thursday we have got some homemade Pork Meatballs from the butchers so it will be ‘Albondigas con Tomate’ using my tomato salsa and then on Friday fish!

At lunchtime Mano and Anna called in for a chat and gossip, their electricity is still not back on so they are getting rather up-tight so say the least! I got Mano ready while they were here some Meatballs in my famous Tomato salsa and at the same time I cooked some Chicken wings which I tossed in my secret special BBQ sauce, boxed them and he now has his supper for the next two days as he’s back on nights from tonight! His Thursday supper will be Chicken Pie!!

Tonight its FIFA World Cup Qualifying Football’ Here it’s Spain v Georgia and over at Wembley Stadium England play their bogey team Poland, they must beat them to go forward to Brazil! Brenda will follow the Spain game downstairs on the main TV and shout up the scores whilst I ‘am upstairs in the office watching the England game on the large PC using the sports connection.

Spain 2 Georgia 0 and England 2 Poland 0 so they are both on the plane to Brazil !!

We still reading in the afternoon’s up on the roof terrace as we have our ‘Happy Hour’ with our cocktails and radio music, we must have read nearly all the ‘Patterson’s’ by now!

Thought for the Day; See above.
