A OVERCAST,GREY AND WINDY SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 31^st/ JANUARY 2015.

We had a well deserved lie in this morning after a few early starts during the week, no noise from the village to wake us up as it’s a rather overcast, windy and damp grey day here in sunny Manilva, its staying the same over the weekend then its picking up on Monday and hopefully getting better for the rest of the week.

For breakfast I was treated to ‘Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast with a mug of steaming tea to set me up for the day ahead! It’s definitely an at home day, we have no dogs today and even ‘Chispa’ might not venture out in this weather. ‘Reina’ is with us tomorrow for a sleep over and then the full day on Monday as Lee & Daniela are going to Jerez to watch the Grand Prix testing of this years 2015 new racing cars.

I’ was wrong as I’ve just heard the front door rattling; its ‘Chispa’ letting us know that she’s out and wants to come in to play!

At the moment I’m now upstairs in the office watching ‘Saturday Kitchen Live’ on the small PC, but with some interruptions due to the weather, and typing the Blog on the larger PC.Then later I’m preparing tonight’s supper ‘ Steak Diane’ to the classic recipe with sliced Mushrooms & Onions, Garlic, Mustard, a dash of Lee & Perrins and Tabasco,RedWine, Brandy & Cream – we are having it with finely sliced Green Beans and as a treat a few twice-cooked ‘Frits’! See below;

Tomorrow we are going to have an easy day relaxing and will pick up a Roast Chicken from the ‘Rotisserie’ in Calle Mar which we will have with a Mixed Salad and some ‘Rissole’ potatoes, small Baby New Potatoes in their skins tossed in foaming butter!

Football this weekend over in a very cold and snowy England features in the ‘Premiere League’ Crystal Palace v Everton, Liverpool v West Ham and then in the late kick-off its what could be the title decider as Chelsea welcome Manchester City without Costa and Fabregas! Over here in ‘La Liga’ its also rather cold as Real Madrid welcome Real Sociedad and Barcelona welcome Villarreal on Sunday.

Everton won 0-1 Liverpool won 2-0 Chelsea and City drew 1-1 and Real Madrid won 4-1 without Ronaldo!

This evening after supper we will watch the sports high lights on ‘Cuatro’ from around Europe before finding a film to watch. last night it was “Braveheart” for the umpteenth time!!
