WARM AND NEARLY SUNNY MANILVA ON " MAUNDY THURSDAY "

“MAUNDY “THURSDAY 17th/ APRIL 2014.



This morning has started overcast with a sea mist up in sunny Manilva but is now clearing and the sun is coming out; after a quick breakfast we shot down to Sabinillas to do the shopping as the supermarket is open until noon today but closed tomorrow as it’s a bank holiday.

We have just had with our morning 'cuppa'with some rather nice toasted 'Hot X-Buns' which Brenda spotted as we were doing our 'English' shopping in 'Super Sol!' 

We have no plans for today, so far, the dog has just come charging in early so we will go for a walk a little later; in the ‘Plaza de la Vendimia’ they are starting to erect a children’s fairground ready for the bank holiday weekend.

As you can see in the pictures above the name sign has gone up in the new passage way, in the church they are decorating tonight's 'Tronos- Tableau' with flowers,the cemetery is covered in fresh flowers and in the 'Plaza Vendimia' the children's fairgound is setting up.

We are waiting to hear from Doreen & Claus to arrange to ‘hook up’ over the weekend and tomorrow morning Rose is dropping ‘Scruffy’ off for his Easter Weekend holiday with us.

At lunchtime over in Malaga is was the 'Semana Santa' parade at lunchtime when the 'Spanish Foreign Legion'- 'Mano's old regiment' arrive in the harbour by ship from Africa and then with their chins held at a 45 degrees angle march the statue of 'Jesus on the Cross' at the same time singing religious songs - very moving - see the pictures above taken from the TV.

This evening’s supper is not very exciting under the new regime – ‘Omelets’ – Cheese for Brenda and Ham & Mushroom for me – that’s it! See mine above: 

Later in the evening there is a mass in the ‘Santa Ana’ church followed by a procession that does not start until 11-00pm of the ‘Padre Jesus Nazareno’ through the village.See the pictures above as the procession made its way ant-clock-wise around the village;mi assistant 'Camera Person;' - " Den " was also out on the job so some more pictures tomorrow from his super-camera !


Thoughts for the Day; See above.
