A VERY HOT AND SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 10^th/ JUNE 2014.

The delivery trucks woke us up this morning, gas bottles, waste paper and shop good’s so far! It’s already warm and sunny and it’s going to be a hot one today later with temperatures reaching 34degs.After breakfast which now features as our fresh fruit ‘Nectarines’ for the first time this year our first job of the day is to water the wall pot plants.

I then shoot up to the office for my first check of the WWW – on-line newspapers,BBC news, weather forecasts, sports up-dates, various news agency reports, local North Wales newspapers and Blog,Facebook & Twitter, local Manilva and Council news and finally E-Mails.

One from Gillian was asking us if we are able to pick her up this coming Sunday evening at Marbella Bus Station as she if flying into Malaga to come and finalize the handing over of her rented property and collect the rest of her goods – she is going to be here for just over a week and we will then possible drop her at the border to catch a flight home from Gibraltar – no problem!

Next week also the “Queen of Skelton”- Josie is also due to fly in for her summer vacation followed by her “Consort”- Den a week later – the ‘Red Limousine’ is being prepared later this week, washed and polished,oil,water and tires checked and the ‘Chauffeurs ‘ uniform cleaned and pressed!

Also today in the financial news the ‘Euro’ has reached a new 52 week high, so here’s hoping that it stays there as over the next two weeks all the pensions are due to be transferred over on their 4 week cycle!

Brenda’s up on the roof terrace at the moment doing her least favorite job – the ironing, six of my shirts she has just told me, later after ‘Chispa’ comes calling, she has just arrived, we will go for a little walk around the village, a bit further each day as she is still taking things easy before our visit to the ‘Cardiology’ Consultant in two weeks time over at the hospital past Marbella.

As we just going out Mano & Anna called in for a chat and gossip, we have not seen them for a while,Mano is in the middle of his very serious dental work with Victor;so we have now found out where to go for the shutters for the front door and not get ripped off - " Leroy Merlin" over in Marbella! Then after talking with them we have decided to cancel our contract with 'Jazztel' for our two super Mobile phones,instead we are going to have two simple 'Pay As Go' ones - we don't use the technology and the savings are very good,we are keeping our land-line and internet with them for now! 

This means that our house number is the same 952890548 but our two mobile numbers will change within in the next week - watch this space !! 

We are both back into our reading again’ Lee Childs ’at the moment, in fact I’ve got a hardback ‘Patterson’ in the pipe line as well; it’s nearly time for us to go up on the roof terrace in the late afternoon’s to read, take in a little sun, have our ‘Earl Doors’ cocktail’s and listen to the local music radio stations – it’s a hard life but somebody has to do it!

Tonight’s supper is all cooked at the last moment – “A La Carte” style as we are having ‘Pork Schnitzels’ with ‘Spaghetti Milanese’ –one of our favorite meals – in fact they all are !! See the picture above.

Last night we caught the Monday evening ‘British Classic’ on TVE2 – “ Venus ” from 2006 – a romantic comedy/drama with Peter O’Toole,Leslie Phillips,one of the first celebrities that I served back in Liverpool at the ‘Stork Hotel’ in Queens Square, Jodie Whittaker,Vennesa Redgrave and Richard Griffiths – a very good story very well acted and with no violence!

After supper we will channel hop to find something to watch.
