SUNNY AND A VERY HOT MANILVA AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND;

FRIDAY 4^th/ OCTOBER 2013.

This morning we went down to Sabinillas to our Bank, the Vegetable & Fruit market, the supermarket and finally the newsagents for the papers and some more ‘Patterson’s’ to read; after unloading back at the house I dropped the car back down to the underground car park and we then went for our walk with dog down to the local market for some fresh flowers and a plant and on the way back called into the butchers for our Saturday night steak.

The sun was out early this morning and it’s looking like more of the same over the weekend but then in the middle of next week there is rain on the horizon! Anna called in at lunchtime for a good chat and gossip, they have still not got their electricity back on at their house so they are staying in Carlos’s house around the corner, We have asked them around for supper on Sunday, I’ am making ‘Lancashire Hot Pot’ from my special recipe with Cabbage with Alselgas and plenty of shredded Beetroot on the side!

Just before lunch Tim came on the Skype video so we had a good chat and caught up with all his news; he had seen the picture that I put on the blog yesterday and thought that it was very funny! Last night Jo had been to see ‘Jay-Z’ and tonight I notice the Jane is going to see him as well over in Manchester.

On the sport’s front this weekend I will be following the Korean Grand Prix  and of course the football; over here in La Liga’ Barcelona are at home to Real Valladolid and Real Madrid are away at Levante, while over in England Liverpool host Crystal Palace and the match of the day is Manchester City v Everton – come on the ‘Blues’ – but which one ??!! Carlos or Big Bri !!

This evening for supper we having deep-fried ‘Hake in Cruz Campo Batter’ with twice-cooked square Chips, Mushy Peas, Homemade Tartar sauce which I made this morning and some of my now famous Tomato salsa on the side! We will then catch a late film, last night we watched “ Wall Street 2 - Money Never Lies” from 2010 – it was the sequel to the original from 23 years ago and started as ‘Gordon Gekko ( Michael Douglas) was let out of prison after 8 years! With a cast of Shia LaBeouf,Carry Mulligan, Josh Brolin and Susan Sarandon and even a cameo-part from Eli Wallach !!
