BRIGHT AND WARM IN SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY;

SUNDAY 29^th/ DECEMBER 2013.

This morning as I was out walking Charlie the sun was already out and the sky was blue; later at lunchtime as we went for a long walk around the football pitch with both the dogs it was a glorious hot and sunny day! We are so lucky for the time of the year; it’s like when we first arrived down here on the ‘Costa Del Sol’a few years ago and we were able to sit out for our New Days brunch at a posh poolside ‘In’ restaurant – happy memories!

After our tea & toast Brenda washed her hair and had a nice leisurely shower and freshen up; I then had a shave and shower before doing my ‘Pilates’ exercises and having a quick rub-down from Brenda! What a life down here in sunny Manilva!!

Tomorrow Brenda is going down on the bus to Sabinillas for a little shopping as I will be looking after the two dogs, she is also going down to the surgery as she needs to see our doctor to get a new prescription for her eye ointment; we have also started to plan the menu’s for the week, on Monday we are having Sausages in Onion gravy with Mashed Potatoes, then on New Year Eve its ‘Steak& Chips night, on New Years Day 2014! - We are having a little brunch and in the evening ‘Medallions of Pork Fillet’!

While we were out we called into Andy’s to wish him all the seasons greeting’s, Maria was out at work down in a restaurant in Sabinillas; when we got back I made my now famous ‘Charcutiere’ sauce for the evenings supper, we are having Baked English cut Pork Chops with glazed ‘Fuji’ Apple slices, mashed Carrots & Parsnips, sliced Green Beans and ‘Breton’ style potatoes made with Red, Yellow and Green diced Peppers, Onions and Leeks – then the cooked diced potatoes tossed with them in foaming butter! - Yummy!

This afternoon I will watch the Chelsea v Liverpool game on the large PC in the office, at the moment the Everton v Southampton game is on ( is Big Bri there?!)  – Result later. A win for Everton 2-1 So Big Bri will be somewhere celebrating no doubt! Not a good result for Liverpool loosing 1-2 at Chelsea!

Tonight after supper we watch the news and weather and then catch a film.
