A CRISP AND SUNNY MANILVA & SOTOGRANDE ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 19th/ JANUARY 2015.






So just a little lie in this morning before we sorted ourselves out for the day ahead, we had our usual breakfast and I then got myself ready to walk around to the surgery to see our Doctor for my prescription update, Brenda came for the walk with Chispa; sadly our Doctor had just been called out on an emergency so I have re-booked for first thing on Friday morning.

Last night as we were talking with Josie we found out that she had never been to Sotogrande so at lunchtime today we picked her up and shot around the coast road to the marina, the weather was very crisp but still with the sun out, the forecast for tomorrow is for a little of the wet stuff hitting us but its then going dry and crisp for the rest of the week, so far.

We have a busy week in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ with ‘Reina’ with us on Tuesday & Thursday and then ‘Scruffy’ is here on Friday & Saturday for a sleep over, no doubt ‘Chispa’ will be calling in every day as usual.

We were able to sit outside at the ‘KE’ bar and take in the sights and sound of the marina, we once again had an ‘Al Fresco’ Tapas lunch; see the picture below taken by Josie after lunch;






Josie has a Greek salad, Brenda had a Crab salad and I had the Russian salad to start, all very tasty and nicely presented. To follow the girls had the warm Hake & Baby Clams and I had the Chicken in a creamy Peppercorn salsa with the Diced Pork in a rich Tomato salsa – see the picture above.

The owner came along and spoke to us so I asked him if it was possible to see the overhead railway running as it has never been running when we have been there in the past – result as you can see above also! Brenda before we sat down managed to find a nice shop next door and ended up with a new Black Poncho which is also shown in the pictures!!

This afternoon Big Brian called in so we had a good old catch up and gossip after his visit home, he’s back in work now and into his long shifts, he looks very well and is in a fine frame of mind with his life as he settles back down in sunny Manilva and looks forward to the sun and warmth! Great to see him happy and relaxed!!

This evening for supper we are having ‘Chicken Schnitzels’ a la ‘Milanese’ with Spaghetti in my rich Tomato salsa, I’m going to top mine with a fried ‘Campo Egg’ with Anchovy fillets & Capers – a la ‘Holstein’! See below;




Over the weekend on the football scene Liverpool won 0-2 Manchester City lost 0-2 Real Madrid won 0-3 with Ronaldo scoring 2 and Barcelona won 0-4 as Messi scored his 30th hat trick! Sadly Everton could only draw 0-0 after missing a penalty!

After supper we will catch up with all the news, sport and weather details before finding something to watch, last night after seeing Josie home we watched a very good murder/thriller with lots of twist to the tale “ Fracture” from 2007 with Anthony Hopkins,Ryan Gosling & Rosamund Pike – don’t miss the very end!
