SUNNY AND WARM MANILVA ON TUESDAY

TUESDAY 8^th/ OCTOBER 2013.

It’s shaping up to be another nice day in sunny Manilva,the rain has passed us by and the forecast up to the weekend is good; after our tea, toast and fresh fruit I walked Brenda down to the bus stop to go down to Sabinillas for her appointment at the hairdressers but a regular local gave her a lift down,I’am picking her up later in the car.

On the way back I called into the butchers for some diced Pork Loin,Chicken wings and a small slice of steak; the menu for the rest of the week has been decided; Gammon Steak with Pineapple, fried Egg and chips tonight, a Pork Casserole on Wednesday, more details to follow and on Thursday the famous ‘Sexton Mixed Grill’ with Gammon,Steak,Lamb Cutlets, English Pork Sausage, Smoked Bacon,Tomato,Mushrooms and a fried Egg! PS; fish on Friday!!

Mano called in yesterday lunchtime as he was out for a walk, still no electricity in their house so they are staying at Carlo’s house as he has moved back into the his large family apartment in Calle Inglaise so as they can rent out their house; which means just by chance that Dave and Debbie’s, from Manchester, son Tom who is 19 and has just arrived here as he has joined with sponsorship the ‘Gecko’ Golf circuit as an professional golfer and has rented it ! We wish him all the best, the last time we saw him he was 14 but was already a very good golfer learning to play at ‘Mere Golf Club, Resort and Spa’ in Knutsford!!

The fine weather means that we are still able to go up on the roof terrace for our ‘Happy Hour’ in the late afternoon. Tomorrow I have an early appointment across at the hospital past Marbella with the ‘Dermatology’ consultant for a check up, it’s all to do with blood circulation and then on Saturday we going to the official opening of the Wine Museum and the ‘Plaza de la Vendimia’at 5-00pm. This morning they putting the finishening touches to the park, the fountain has been covered with Mosaic tiles and at this very moment they are putting on the wall behind the wine press a Mosaic tile picture of the grape crushers! Watch this space for the pictures later!As you can see they grape crushing Mural has three men!!! It's official the middle one in the blue trousers is ME !!! The waterfall was being tested and next it's going to be the fountain meanwhile down in' Plaza Pozo Del Rey' it's nearly there as they have tiled the pillar's and the steps in from our side are ready.

This evening we will catch a film after our supper, last night we watched another episode of the Spanish ‘Voice’ but Anna’s friend from Tenerife, Lydia has still not appeared !
