SUNNY AND WARM MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY

WEDNESDAY 2^nd/ OCTOBER 2013.

We were up early this morning as Brenda had an appointment with our doctor to arrange an appointment with a consultant ‘Oftalmologia’ – ‘Eye’ specialist; result – next Monday afternoon across at the Costa Del Sol Hospital past Marbella, I’ am there on Wednesday morning with the ‘Dermatologia’ consultant !

This morning it’s a beautiful day here in sunny Manilva; the sun is out and its warm with just a little breeze but tomorrow a bit of the wet stuff is threatening to hit us! By the weekend we should be back to normal.

While Brenda was out I made the Chicken Curry for tonight’s supper when we get back from picking Gillian up at the bus station in Marbella after her flight back from the UK.

Last night I had problems getting on-line to watch the football and ‘New Tricks’ but just managed it at the last moment; Barcelona beat Celtic 0-1 and downstairs Atl.Madrid beat Porto 0-2, tonight the big match is Manchester City v FC Bayern Munhen( Pep’s team) Oh Dear ! City lost 1-3 !!

As the presenter on BBC TV1 introduced ‘New Tricks’ she said welcome to the ‘Final’ episode?! After checking on the web-page is there no sign at the moment of the BBC commissioning another series?! What a shame!

Yesterday evening I took some pictures of the new park with the lights on, the director of the Wine Museum is going to test the fountain this evening at 8-00pm so as I can get some pictures, possible the waterfall as well! Watch this space.No luck this evening,will try again tomorrow.

After the football last night we caught a very good documentary programme on TVE1 showing different parts of Spain by helicopter; the first part was in the town of ‘San Lorenzo De El Escorial’ showing the Royal Palace, Monestry, Museum and School of the “El Escorial Castle” outside Madrid in the hills, our dear friend Raphael took us there eight year ago when we first arrived in Spain! It is the where the Kings and Queens of Spain are crowned, married and buried!

Later they went to Barcelona to show ‘Antoni Gaudi’s’ famous cathedral of the “ Sagrada Familia” – started in 1882 and still being built, it is forecasted to be complete by the year 2026!! It showed a film re-construction of it being built over the years and also how it will look when it is finished, even more spectacular than now with a central tower/spire that shoots up above the rest of the towers!

Thought for the Day; See above.
