SUNNY BUT A LITTLE COOLER MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 16^th/ NOVEMBER 2013.

Over night we have lost nearly 9degs due to the cold front coming down from the North Pole! The rest of Spain is effected even more with heavy snow in the North and all across the mountains, down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ we still have clear blue skies and at the moment no rain so we can’t really moan as its still 17degs today!

At the moment as I’ am typing this I’ am watching ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’ on the small PC then later I will catch the big one – England v New Zealand (All Blacks) – Spain playing in Equatorial Guinea and the qualifying for the American Grand Prix.

Well England lost 22 - All Blacks 30 but took the game to New Zealand and at one time were in the lead ! Meanwhile down in Cardiff Wales beat Argentina 40- 6.

Mano and Anna called in at lunchtime to pick up the papers and have a good chat and gossip,Mano also rang 'Meson Bar La Bodeguiya' in La Linea to check that they are open on Monday lunchtime,they are so it will be our first port of call with Tim!

Brenda is in her cleaning, washing, bed making mode to get ready for Tim’s visit next week; the dog came crashing in earlier this morning and Charlie is in full voice doing his various whisles,clicks,talking and of course a certain dog barking! This evening after supper we are going over to the airport in Malaga to pick Andy up in his car – we will miss Charlie when he goes home, we get used to hearing him and talking to him!

For our supper this evening we are having a simple ‘Steak a la Plancha’ with grilled Baby Mushrooms along with finely sliced Green Beans and of course twice cooked chips, a little Tomato salad on the side and mine topped with a fried Campo Egg!

Thought for the Day; See above.
