A DAMP BUT STILL SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 2nd/ APRIL 2014.

We were up before dawn this morning and after a quick tea & toast we shot across to the hospital past Marbella in the pouring and heavy rain on the most dangerous stretch of road in Spain – the infamous N340 – we arrived safely and went straight in on time for my appointment my wonderful Prostrate consultant ‘Senor Daniel Garcia Florez’

He welcomed us with a big smile and the words “Congratulation, you are all clear, see you again in six months for a check up!” He also said that he likes giving ‘Good News’!! We were back out in record time and shot back across to Manilva a little quicker, not too fast as it was still raining cats & dogs! This time we picked up a nice bottle of Cava to have tonight as a little celebration drink, last time we went to the ‘Don Carlos Hotel *****’for a Champagne breakfast – how times and fortunes change! ( The Euro !)

After arriving back at the house in a damp ‘Sunny’Manilva I set too and got tonight’s ‘Chicken Curry’ on the go; Gillian is joining us for supper, we are having some light Tapas to start, our local Chorizo,Semi-Curado Cheese and some Iberia Ham – we have treated ourselves to a treat for our dessert, we picked up some freshly made Strawberry Tarts from the bakery; ‘Kir Royal’ to start and a nice little Rioja with the curry.

Meanwhile our friend Josie and her husband Den have left Paris on the new ‘TGV’ to Barcelona, they were delayed for an hour but are now taking in the sights,sound,food and drink of the city! They are then going on the fastest ‘TGV’ in Spain from Barcelona to Madrid,if you arrive late you get a refund!
