A VERY HOT AND REFRESHING DAY IN SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY;

SUNDAY 20^th/ JULY 2014.

Just a little lie in this morning as the sun was crashing through the shutters to welcome us to another ‘Helluva’ day here in sunny Manilva, the ‘Lavent’ breeze is still making it very bearable as it would be very hot without it!

For breakfast I had a nice surprise as you can see in the picture below as Brenda had produced her famous ‘Poached Campo Eggs on Toast’ to start the day in the right fashion!

Yesterday evening’s ‘Moroccan Banquet’ at ‘Victor’s Restaurant’ at the ‘Manilva Green Aparthotel’ turned out to be more like a second rate three course meal with a hint of Morocco, not like the seven course banquet from last time! The ‘Company’ made up for it as Claus & Doreen, Den & Josie and us all had a good chat and covered all sorts of topics from music, art, food,memrobilia to life in general! See the picture below. The tent was down above the pool area next to the Chiringuito’ under the stars, the ‘Belly Dancers’ even danced to modern style hip-hop music at one stage, art it was not! Our visiting ‘Professor of Contemporary Art’rtd.( Josie!) was not impressed!

Meanwhile over in Australia we are still waiting for an up-date on Jack & Lyn’s adventure/travels around the whole country in an anti-clockwise direction, the last news was that they were heading for Adelaide across the desert! Watch this space.

At lunchtime we went for a short walk and then came back to 'Bar Rojas' for our Sunday Paella 'Hit' - outside we met Nick,Brona and their son Teddy who are over again so we had a good catch up with them,nice to see you! Then as we came back down our street we bumped into another Nick with his wife Katharina who were just leaving 'Bodega Andaluz' and brought them up to date as well,not that they needed to as Nick follows the Blog - nice to see them again!

Later today I will catch the ‘German Grand Prix’from Hokenheim with Rosberg on pole after Hamilton crashed out with brake failure; at the ‘Open Golf’ at ‘Royal Liverpool – Hoylake’ Rory Mcllroy takes a six shot lead at 16 under par into the final round after two ‘Eagles’ in the final holes! Also on the Wirral this weekend it’s the famous “ Mersey Roads Club ” 24hr Time Trial cycle race finishing around the lanes of Cheshire outside Chester.

Hamilton got up to third after starting 20th on the grid as Rosberg won!

Rory Mcllroy has just won by two shots !!

Later this afternoon I will then watch on TVE1 the 15^th stage of the ‘Tour De France’ as it enters the ‘Provence’ region on its way from Tallard to the historic city of Nimes.

Tonight for supper we having our usual ‘Saturday Night Steak’ with all the trimmings to make up for missing it last night “ Entrecote ” medium rare!! We will then catch up with all the news, sport and weather reports before finding a film to watch.

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
