WARM AND SUNNY WITH CLEAR BLUE SKY IN SUNNY MANILVA AT THE START OF THE XMAS WEEK

MONDAY 23^rd/ DECEMBER 2013.

We had our last lie in for a little while as when Charlie arrives tomorrow morning it sounds like he goes out early for his first message of the day! After our tea, toast and fresh fruit I shot around to our butchers to pick up our ‘Boxing Day’ “ Entrecote on the Bone ” which he has been hanging and maturing and a couple of nice steak’s for Xmas Evening;See the picture above. Brenda is pottering about the house finding jobs to do and I’ am in the office on the WWW catching up on the E-mails,Facebook and the Blog!

The weather today is clear Blue sky, sunshine and warm in sunny Manilva BUT tomorrow we have the tail end of the Atlantic storm that is hitting the UK sweeping across the country so its rain and winds and more of the same on Xmas Day !! Oh dear!!! Such a shame as we have been able to sit out at lunchtimes when we have been out and go out with the dog without our coats. “B----r!”

At lunchtime we went for our walk withe dog and found that the new 'Plaza Pozo Del Rey' park is open,they have finished it off very well as usual and had just planted the 'Cactus Garden' ! The underground car park is yet to open; the new small square in Call Mar is taking shape fast as is the new passage way,meanwhile the clean up at the church is nearly finished - finally in 'Plaza de la Vendimia' a certain lady was determined to get in the picture as you can see above!

No football over here in’La Liga’ until the 4^th January – they have a long ‘Xmas Break’ but over in England it’s the traditional ‘Boxing Day’ games with Everton hosting Sunderland, will Big Bri be at ‘Goodison Park?’ and Manchester City welcome Liverpool !

This evening we are having the rest of the Smoked Chicken – cold with vegetables and sautéed/diced Potatoes before we settle down to watch a film, at the moment of course there are lots to choose from on all the channels! Last nights film was “ Unknown ” from 2011 – it’s a psychological thriller that takes place in Berlin and stars Liam Neeson,Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn and Frank Langella – pay attention as it has lots of twists!
