HOT AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 15^th/ MARCH 2014.

Up as normal this morning and after breakfast I shot up to the office and have just managed to go on-line and I ‘am watching on the smaller PC BBC TV 1 – the’ Breakfast Show’ before ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’ - Meanwhile downstairs in the prep-kitchen the assistant/vegetable chef is preparing the ingredients for my special/famous ‘ Ensaladilla Rusa’ which I will make later after I collect the marinated local Lamb from the butchers for tomorrow nights supper!

We had a nice walk with the dog as we called into the butchers at lunchtime in the hot sunshine on a beautiful day in sunny Manilva.See the picture above of the new passage way as they are laying the flag stones.Brenda is out on the roof terrace for the first time this year as the afternoon sunshine moves round!Meanwhile I watched a great film " Road to Perdition" from 2002 with Tom Hanks,Paul Newman,Daniel Craig,Jude Law and the young actor Tyler Hoechlin - one not to be missed at any cost! 

On the sports front over in Melbourne at the ‘Australian Grand Prix’ Lewis Hamilton has taken the pole position and Vettel did not get past Q2 – result! Watching the highlights on 'Antenna 3' Over in England the early kick off is the Hull v Manchester City game, watching the match at the moment on my 'IT' Sports channel on the large PC -final result Hull 0 - City 2 -  then later Everton welcome Cardiff –who they beat 2-1 -  on Sunday the ‘Match of the Day’ is when Manchester Utd.welcome Liverpool – come on the ‘Reds’- “ You Never Walk Alone! !!  Here in ‘La Liga’ its Malaga v Real Madrid today and then tomorrow Barcelona welcome Osasuna.

On the final day of the ‘Six Nations Rugby’ England travel to Italy, Wales welcome Scotland and Ireland travel to Paris to play France – either England,Ireland or France are in with a chance to win the ‘Crown’ – depending on the results! Watch out later. I've also been watching the game over in Rome as England won 11 -52 - they are 8 points behind Ireland so if the Irish win in Paris later they are the champions!Wales beat the Scots 51-3 

France 20 - IRELAND 22 -  SO THEY HAVE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP !! That man Jonny Sexton scored a try,kicked and missed goals and was carried off after being knocked out !! 

Tonight for supper we are having ‘Steak a la Plancha’- the steak is trimmed and seasoned with salt and freshly ground Black Pepper then thrown on the griddle and cooked pink – turning the steak over once then rested! Finely sliced Green Beans and Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions with twice-cooked chips with my steak topped with a fried Campo Egg and Brenda’s with deep-fried Garlic buds – on the side ‘Bearnaise’ sauce!

Last night we watched another Jason Statham  film – all action and I still can’t follow what he is saying!
