WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND;

FRIDAY 14th/ MARCH 2914.



This morning it’s a beautiful day yet again here in sunny Manilva,the forecast for over the weekend and into next week is more of the same and getting warmer; after breakfast we shot down to Sabinillas for the shopping, supermarket first, then the bank and pick up the papers before coming back up to the village to unpack.

We then went for our walk with dog around the village, I called into the chemists for some prescriptions and then into the butchers for our Saturday night ‘Steak a la Plancha’ – Sunday’s marinated local Lamb will be ready to pick up in the morning. Next we stopped at the surgery to make an appointment with our doctor to review and update our prescription next week. Brenda went down to local market and picked up some flowers and plants for the front display.

For supper this evening we are having ‘Goujons of Hake Fillet’ made with fresh local breadcrumbs, homemade ‘Tatar’sauce, Mushy Peas and twice-cooked diced chips! The ‘Brochettes of Pork’ last night were a big hit and my famous Tomato salsa on the side just finished off the meal! As the weather is now settled into a fine spell I’ am going to make some of my now famous ‘ Ensaladilla Rusa’ – ‘Russian Salad’ for over the weekend,

So this afternoon I will go on line to watch the final day’s racing from the ‘Cheltenham Festival’ – the coverage has been excellent and I’ am looking forward to the ‘Gold Cup’ later; this weekend is a big football one with games over here and in England, also the ‘Grand Prix’ season starts when the first race is the ‘Australian Grand Prix’ from Melbourne – all the details on tomorrow’s Blog.

Last night after supper we watched on TVE2 the ‘Drag Queen Contest’ from the Carnival in ‘Las Palmas Gran Canaria’ – they are unbelievable – especially the high – heeled boots and of course the costumes, or lack of them! The winner which was a very strange choice as he was fat,overweight,could not dance of sing, had strange make-up and a very bad costume that did not show off his vital assets! The only thing that he could do, and not very well at that was shake his bum!!


Thought for the Day; See above.
