SATURDAY 21st/
JUNE 2014.
After a
good night sleep we had our usual breakfast and the got things on the go in the
kitchen; the assistant/vegetable chef got the ingredients on the go for the
next large bowl of my now very famous “ Ensalillida Rusa”and also cut the
‘Frits’ for tonight’s ‘Steak Supper’ The ‘Russian Salad’ is made and the
twice-cooked frits have been blanched.
Tonight we
are having the ‘Entrecote Steaks’ cooked on the griddle ‘med-rare’ with sautéed
Mushrooms and griddled Onion rings, Finely sliced Green Beans and the
twice-cooked frits – Brenda’s with fried Garlic Buds and mine topped withy a
fried ‘Campo’ Egg – a little Béarnaise sauce on the side!
Brenda has
shot up to wash her hair and shower and we are then getting ready to go out
down to the ‘Plaza De La Vendimia’ to see the ‘Classic Car Rally’ at lunchtime;
see the pictures later.
Well we only just made it as the rally was on time as it came along 'Calle Mar' - twice as many cars this year, the lady in Red is Antonia the Mayor who also took my picture in the first set of pictures, she was being filmed by 'Manilva TV' - then the rally parked up on the 'Plaza de la Vendimia' as you can see in the second set of pictures above; Brenda is pictured in front of her favourite ' Mercedes - her perfect birthday present - she wishes!!
Talking of birthday presents I lost Brenda for a while but found her just as Mano & Anna came along past the park - she was in the fashion shop and ended up with two tops and a summer skirt, I had to go back to the bank for some more cash and I ended up buying a half-spit roasted Chicken for use over the weekend! We then came back to the house with Mano & Anna for a cool stiff drink!!

On the
sports front there is Rugby Union,Tennis,World Cup Football and the Grand Prix
of Austria?! from the new privately owned ‘Red Bull Ring!’ All the details
later.
Tomorrow we
have a religious ceremony that we had forgotten about taking place in the
morning – it’s “ Corpus Christi ”when as well as the processions they decorate
‘Calle Mar’ and Calle Inglasia’ with flower patterns, statues and displays ! Then
it all takes off down at the ‘Santa Ana Church
It will
then be time for our ‘Champagne( Cava!) cocktail reception in the lounge of the
‘Sexton’s small ‘Palace’ in sunny Manilva to celebrate Brenda’s 21st?!
birthday in the style that she has become accustomed too! A selection of Smoked
Salmon and Prawn Canapés will also be served before the party departs in the
‘Red Limousine’ to ‘Venta Garcia’ for the celebration lunch! Reports and local
if not national/international ‘ Paparazzi’ pictures will no doubt follow!!
