WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY; NOW WET !

SUNDAY 1^st/ JUNE 2014.

Well the rains came but not when we were expecting them; at 1-00am this morning the heavens opened with a typical ‘Spanish’ rain storm that lasted for two hours non-stop, it was so heavy that the locals drinking in ‘Bodegon Andaluz’ two doors down our street where trapped inside until it stopped, not that they minded!

This morning as I took ‘Scruffy’ for his first walk of the day you would not know that it had been raining, we are back to normal with the skies blue and the sun out in a warm and sunny Manilva!

Sadly Brenda did not have a good night as she had a coughing fit due to the paint smell in the bedroom so she had to move upstairs to the main guest bedroom in the middle of the night; this morning she has not coughed but is a little shattered to say the least, we have no plans for the rest of the day so I will try and make her take it easy – which is rather hard to say the least!

Last night I was able to find and log-on to the big grudge fight via my ‘Wiziwig’ all-sports connection to see Carl Froch knockout George Groves with a huge right hand in the eight round of their re-match in front of a British-record 80,000 fans at ‘Wembley Stadium’ The knockout punch was being described by all the pundits as the best right-handed punch ever thrown! It was one ‘Helluve’ shot!! The atmosphere in the stadium was terrific.

Yesterday we received a nice ‘Newsy’ E-Mail( Thanks!) from Gillian after she finally got home to Torquay; she stopped off in Bristol to see her daughter, on her travels she uses buses, trains and planes and also boats when she lived on the ‘Isle of White!’ Den and Josie are also the same as they make their way across country to get to the planes!

Meanwhile over in Australia this morning as I was typing the Blog I noticed Jack and Lyn come on-line on the ‘Skype’ video; so we have just had a good long catch-up/chat, they have just arrived in Cairns in Queensland which is on the coast by the ‘Great Barrier Reef’ after going past Brisbane and onto Rockhampton and then Townsville – so far they have traveled 4462kms so they only have another 10,000kms or more to go!!

Lyn’s daughter Annette and her partner are flying up to Cairns from Melbourne for a couple of days to see them before they set off on the next long leg of the adventure across to ‘Mount Isa’ on their way to Darwin in the ‘Northern Territory’ right at the top of Australia next to the wilds of ‘Arnhem Land’!! Safe traveling and keep to the left!

Tonight for supper we are having ‘Escalope of Turkey Breast’ pan-fried in foaming Lemon Butter with a savory Basmati Rice which I making later with Green Beans and a rich creamy Mushroom sauce on the side. We will then watch the news, sport and weather updates before settling down to find something to watch; on Monday evening later there is a programme about ‘Spanish’ people working abroad –this week its ‘Wales’- on the trailers we have recognized a few place already!

PS; The rain is back with thunder and lightning !
