CALM AND COOL IN SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY

TUESDAY 10th/ DECEMBER 2013.




This morning after our tea & toast we shot off in different directions, Brenda went down to our local post office to post the Xmas cards and I went to the local bank in the village to pay our water bill and then down to the butchers for tonight’s Pork Chops and some boned Chicken legs & thighs to go in the curry tomorrow.

Andy then called in to do some updating. clearing etc. on the PCs as well as a new sales header on the top of our blog-page and introducing me to the ‘Pinterest’ site; the stats on the blog-page are fascinating, hits from Russia,USA,Europe,Ireland,and China and of cause the UK! Today already there have been 27 hits, yesterday 142and last month over 3,000 !! I didn’t know that I was such a ‘Star’!! Andy and Maria are joining us for supper next Tuesday.

At the moment on the small PC I’ am watching the live coverage on the BBC News page the ‘Mandela Memorial Service’ from South Africa at the ‘FNB’ stadium in Johannesburg as well as on Spanish TVE1.At lunchtime Tim called on the Skype video to have good catch up and chat mainly about the weather last week down on the North Wales coast.

Tonight for our supper we are having Baked Pork Chops with glazed Apple slices with Cabbage with Acelgas,diced Carrots and baby Turnips and our favorite ‘Breton style’ Potatoes made with mixed peppers.

Yesterday we had a very quiet day at home watching the TV; first we caught Paul Newman film “ Absence of Malice ” from 1981 with Sally Field,then the award winning ( 8 Oscars !) “ Amadeus ” from 1984 with F.Murray Abraham ,Tom Hulce and Elizabeth Berridge and finally after our supper ‘Don’t Say a Word’ from 2001 with Michael Douglas,Sean Bean,Jennifer Esposito,Femke Janssen and Skye McCole Bartusiak. One ‘Helluva’ film day!

Tonight it’s an football evening on TVE1 and upstairs in the office as Real Madrid are in Copenhagen and Manchester City are at Bayern Munich. Real won 0-2 but the result of the night was City beating Bayern Munich 2-3 after being 0-2 down after 12 minutes!!
