THURSDAY 5th/
DECEMBER 2013.
We
overslept this morning as I forgot to bring the mobile-phone alarm to bed!
After our tea and toast we went down to the surgery to book in for some tests
for me as I have to make appointments for January with the Prostrate consultant
for my check up, fingers crossed, and for a Dermatology check also, Brenda has
appointments in February to check how her eyes are going on after the new
glasses.
After
calling into the bank Brenda was buying up the fruit and vegetable market as
they had all sorts of fresh vegetables in, Parsnips, Sprouts etc.We then went
to ‘Mercadona’ for our regular shopping for the weekend as they are closed
tomorrow for the bank holiday; at the English bookshop we managed to collect
some of the papers and a small appointments Diary for me, last week Brenda
found a Diary for her as she keeps one for herself!
After
un-packing I shot around to the butchers for our Saturday night steak and some
Chicken wings for Tapas; in Calle Mar there was a stall selling ‘Poinsettia’s’ so
as the flower market is also closed tomorrow I bought a nice one for the start
of my ‘Poinsettia’ collection as a buy one every week into the run up to Xmas
for inside and outside in our window display!
We then
went for a walk around the village with both the dogs as you can see in the
pictures above; they have started laying the concrete for the new ‘Plaza’ where
the Old Town was at the top of Calle Mar, also they are finishing off the
streets around the ‘Plaza Pozo Del Rey’ – the outside work on the church looks
nearly finished and the new passage way is staring to take shape, finally in
the ‘Plaza de la Vendimia’ the views
across to the mountains is looking rather special as yet again today we have a
warm and sunny day with no breeze in sunny Manilva! The weekend is also staying
fine, we will find out tonight what the start of next week is going to bring
us.
Mano called
in for a chat and gossip update as Anna is away! He collected his take-away A
La Carte meal for tonight ‘Braised Steak and mixed Vegetables’ Anna is back on
Sunday morning, she is flying into the airport in Malaga
Last night
over in England there was a full programme of games in the ‘Premiers League’
Liverpool beat Norwich 5-1 with Suarez scoring four, Manchester City managed to
hang on at West Brom and win 2-3 but the ‘RESULT’ of the night was Everton
beating Manchester Utd at Old Trafford 0-1 for the first time in a long while!
Big Bri over in Pori ,Finland
Tonight
after supper, Cheese Omelet for Brenda and the left-over Braised Steak and
Potatoes for me, we will find a film to watch.
