A WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY " NOCHEBUENA " " XMAS EVE 2014

WEDNESDAY 24th/ DECEMBER 2014.  XMAS EVE – NOCHEBUENA.









We all had a nice lie in this morning after a good night sleep, ‘Renia’ in her duvet across the foot of the bed and ‘Scruffy’ in his house by the side of the bed, we then took them both out for their first walk of the day and called into the butchers to pay for our ‘Rib of Beef’ for Boxing Day which he’s hanging in his cold room until Friday morning when I will pick it up!

‘Reina’ is being picked up at lunchtime and of course ‘Scruffy’ is with us until Sunday evening; ‘Chispa’ has just joined us this morning and all three of the dogs are currently causing chaos around the house as Brenda is trying to mop!

It’s a glorious morning here in sunny Manilva with a clear blue sky and the sun already out, it’s very mild and the temperatures later will reach 20/21degs! More of the same to come onto next week!!

Last night we had a surprise visitor as Brian called in just as we were about to start our supper so he ended up joining us, we had a good old gossip and catch up with all his news, he’s working all over Xmas, by choice (Triple Pay!) and is then going to England on New Years Eve for a weeks holiday at his parents in Runcorn where his daughter Meya, from Sweden is staying for two weeks, she flew in yesterday. I was so nice to see our dear friend and see him in a relaxed and happy state of mind and looking good – all the very best for 2015 ‘Big Bri’!!

So we have a quiet day at home today just taking things easy and relaxing, Brenda is hanging the washing out at the moment up on the roof terrace as it’s a good drying day – so she tells me! A pre- Xmas drink or two is called for later to get us into the festive spirit – literally!



This evening for our supper we are having ‘ Pie & Chips’- small Pork Pies that we bought from Iceland with twice-cooked Frits and my finger licking Gravy on the side, something simple before we hit the full Xmas menus over the next few days! Watch this space.

Later we will then find something to watch as we channel hop ( me!)
