SHARP AND CRISP IN SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 4th/ MARCH 2014.



We were up bright and early this morning as the sun was shining through the shutters; it’s another glorious day here with a clear blue sky and the sun is out, the forecast is for more of the same for the next few days, the breeze is stiff but out of the wind it’s hot – 19degs!

We shot down to Sabinillas for some essential shopping after last week’s bank holiday; we first called into the solicitors as the re-newel of the contract on the house is due, we will sign it on Friday after some discussions about a little damp problem! We then called into the bank and on the way back we spotted a new charity shop that has opened, I ended up with two shirts and two jumpers and Brenda found a cardigan and top! The new English goods shop is also next door but is not very good, exspenive and they don’t stock what we are looking for ‘Gravy Browning!’ Help!!

When we came back we then went for a brisk walk with dog around the village after calling into the chemists for some prescriptions; the water feature in the new small Plaza is now running and the work on the new passage way is progressing slowly as you can see in the picture above.

The menu’s for the week are now sorted, this evening we are having flattened Chicken Breast cooked in foaming Lime Butter with finely sliced Green Beans and thick-cut sliced baked potatoes – dry sautéed – simple but nice as afterwards its ‘Crepes with Strawberries and Vanilla Ice Cream for “ Shove Tuesday!” Then tomorrow I’ am making a large pan of ‘Beef and Vegetable Stew’ – “SCOUSE”!! Which we will have we lots of fresh sliced local Beetroot.

Thursday is left-over’s day then on Friday we are going to have what we missed last week due to me being indisposed! ‘ Fillet of Hake Bonne Femme’ Saturday night is of course ‘Steak Night’ and for Sunday I’ve ordered from the butchers a Shoulder of Lamb that he bones but does not roll, then he marinates it in local Olive Oil and his own herbs!

Tonight after supper we will catch up with the news, sport and weather forecast before channel hopping to find something to watch.


Thoughts for the Day; See above.
