A VERY HOT LA LINEA DE LA CONCEPCION/SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY;

THURSDAY 10^th/JULY 2014.

I’ve just got back from taking Brian across to ‘La Linea De La Concepcion’ so as he could go across into to Gibraltar to sign his contract with “ bet365.com” – he’s now officially an employee of the company and starts work on the 11^th August! I then went and parked right next to the border in the ‘McDonalds’ car park and sat inside with a cool drink in the air conditioning to wait for him as today its very hot,34degs and going up to 36degs tomorrow!!

Earlier this morning ‘Princess’ Reina was dropped off for the day, I took her for a walk and later Brenda also went out for a short walk with her, she is adorable and no problem, she loves being picked up and cuddled and has settled in with us fine – see the pictures below.

So after picking Brian up he took me to ‘La Bodeguiya’ for a light Tapas lunch as you can see in the pictures above, it was Brian that first introduced us to it and we now take all the family and friends there when they fly into Gibraltar; I had the crispy warm Roast Leg of Pork and Brian had the Tuna and Bacarones – we brought Brenda back the warm Pork in crispy toasted bread so as she did not miss out!

While we were driving back along the spectacular coast road past Soto Grande Lilli phoned to say that Brian’s flight was booked back to Finland next Tuesday morning, this means that they will have one month get them selves sorted with somewhere to live and a car! Watch this space.

At lunchtime on Facebook there was an update on Jack & Lyn’s adventure around Australia from one of her daughter’s -  thanks Annette Rose for the information; they are in ‘Esperance’ at the moment at the foot of Western Australia on the coast before they set off to cross the ‘ Nullabah Desert’ towards Adelaide, then home!

We will then be able to catch up with them on the Skype video as they have been out of range for the last few thousand kms!

I’ am just going to shoot downstairs to watch the end of stage 6 of the ‘Tour De France’ which today is from Arras to Reims ( our part of France and the capital of the Champagne region!)

Tonight for supper we are having griddled Chicken Wings with salad and Baked Potatoes before settling down to watch the next two episodes of ‘Mr. Selfridge’
