SUNNY AND WARM MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 9^th/ NOVEMBER 2013

.

I got up early this morning so as I could log-in to BBCTV1 on the smaller PC so I can watch ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’ – it’s on earlier as the ‘Lord Mayor Parade’ from London is on later; Brenda has just made ‘Poached Campo Eggs on toast for breakfast to set us up for the day. Later this morning I will get ready our supper for tonight – ‘Steak au Poivre’ with finely sliced Green Beans and crisp twice-cooked Chips, the main job is crushing the whole Black Peppercorns!

The weather forecast is very good for the weekend and into next week, getting warmer with clear Blue skies; this morning Andy is bringing ‘Charlie’ around in his cage which is on a stand, we put it in the lounge so he can see the TV and watch everything going on, he talks away at different times of the day and we try to teach him some new words! Then this afternoon we are taking Andy over to the airport in Malaga in his car, which we are going to look after and then pick him up next Saturday evening.The drive there and back was spectacular along the coast road by the deep Blue Med !

Last night we caught the repeat of Monday’s “ La Voz – The Voice ” which we missed, Anna’s friend, Lydia from Lanzarote was on this episode and went through again to the next round, she has a ‘Helluva’voice and stage presence – watch this space.

The Friday film was “ Twisted” from 2004 – a murder/crime thriller with a surprise ending starring Ashley Judd, Andy Garcia and Samuel L Jackson.

This weekend is a big sports extravaganza; Brenda is watching the tennis on TDP as the semi-finals are sorted out, with Federer v Del Potro;over here in Valencia it’s the final round of the ‘MotorGP’ as the World Championship will be decided between Lorenzo and the young pretender Marquez who has just taken the pole position for tomorrows race.

 Meanwhile back in England there are both styles of Rugby taking place, the World Cup in Rugby League see’s England taking on the Fijians and in the Autumn Internationals of the Rugby Union England welcome the Argentina’s while Wales play South Africa.England 31 Argentina 12 and England 43 Fiji 12 - Wales play later;sadly they lost 15-24 to a very strong South African side.

Finally to football, Liverpool v Fulham and Crystal Palace v Everton are the main games today and over here Real Madrid v Real Sociedad.Liverpool won 4-00 but Everton could only manage a 0-0 draw but over here Real Madrid won 5-1 with Ronaldo scoring his 23rd hat-trick for the club!

Later after supper we will watch the sports high lights from around Europe and then find a film to follow.
