A VERY HOT AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY'

SUNDAY 29^th/ JUNE 2014

It’s an all good news day here in a very hot and sunny Manilva after a ‘Helluva’ week! Brenda has had the best nights sleep in a long time despite it being the hottest night of the year so far; a warm breeze from across Africa is making it just bearable today as we settle back into our quiet life in the village, last night we had our neighbors in the street calling in to see how she was, Lumy and Manolo came down from ‘Bar Rojas’ with a little present – we are going up for a cool drink and some Paella later.See the picture below in her new top!

Brian is out most of the time in the village and down in Sabinillas, yesterday afternoon I picked him up from the border in ‘La Linea De La Concepecion’ after his four hour assessment – he’s back on Monday morning for the full interview when Andy is doing the ‘Taxi Service’ He is no problem and its nice to have him around, we have had a good catch up and gossip; he’s very excited about the job, it’s with “ Bet 365.com ” – so fingers crossed both for him and Lilli as there is a slight possibility that there could be an opening for her also! 

The hospital was excellent from the consultants, doctors, nurses and the system even to the food – just! In Brenda’s little private two-bedded room her companion was a very nice Spanish lady, Mecedes who spoke perfect English as she lived in England for many years, she helped explain things when required and was very helpful, thanks and hope that everything is OK with your heart operation soon in Malaga – thanks!

The main thing with the food and diet Brenda was given was that it was all salt-free so the new ‘Dietitian’ chef is already planning the new menu regime!  Poached Salmon Fillet last night, Poached Chicken Fillets tonight!!

On the news front we have heard that Jack & Lyn have reached Broome at the top of ‘Western Australia’- last night Den arrived and has joined the ‘Queen of Skelton’ here at their summer retreat! Lots of phone calls at the moment so Brenda is answering the phone to give everyone a nice surprise!

The Blog will be back to normal tomorrow ?!
