A DRY AND WARM SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY MORNING;

THURSDAY 16th/APRIL 2015.










I was up early again this morning as ‘Reina’ was due first thing, I then shot back upstairs with her and she got under her duvet I got under mine! The ‘Child Bride’ was tucked up as snug as a bug in a rug!   It’s grey and overcast but the sun is due to brake through by lunchtime and we will be back to normal in sunny Manilva,over the weekend its staying warm and sunny and the forecast for next week is more of the same and getting hotter.

After our regular breakfast I shot back up to the office to type & post the Blog and Brenda is having a lazy morning pampering her self, she’s shampooing her hair etc. It’s an official at home day taking things easy and relaxing, later we will go for a walk with ‘Reina’ and Chispa’

For our supper this evening after last night’s ‘Calves Liver Extravaganza’ we are having 'Campo Eggs' ‘Omelet’s’ Brenda is having Cheese and I’m having Mushroom with a Baked Potato and Tomato Salad on the side. See the picture below;




Tomorrow morning we are out once again early as Brenda has her appointment at the surgery to renew her prescriptions, Emilo, the village Doctor & Deputy Mayor, rang Sally Ann on Monday afternoon after she had put in the complaint about Brenda’s treatment by the receptionist, we are still waiting to hear from the proper authority or him with an apology at least?! Watch this space.

We are then carrying on down for a shopping adventure as we calling into the retail Fruit & Vegetable market first, then the ‘English Bookshop’ for the papers and some cards before our main shop at ‘Mercadona’ then dropping down into Puerto Duquesa to call into the ‘English Butchers’ for some more Goose Fat and other essentials.

Next we are going along the coast to ‘Pueblo Nuevo Guadiaro’ for some retail shopping at Iceland, at the same time we are going into ‘Anglo Wines’ to buy a nice bottle of Pink Champagne to go into the wine cellar for my 70th birthday celebrations in September!

Friday is the Chef’s night off so he has given the staff the night off also and is taking then out for an ‘Executive Fish Supper’ and then a ‘Night Club’ – well actually we are going to pick up some Fish Chips & Peas ( Tim’s Fish & Chip Shop) and eat them from the paper before going to ‘The Place’ upstairs in Duquesa Marina were Daniela is singing, that is if she makes it back from London in time as she has been over in the UK working! No expenses spared with the hard working staff!!

Before this all takes place we have been invited by our friend, Araceli to go to a video/picture presentation of the ‘ Manilva en el Recuerdo’ web page taking place in the ‘Centro de Interpretacion Vinas de Manilva’ theater; it’s a Council sponsored page on Facebook showing old pictures of the village and people, I used one of the pictures fairly recently on the Blog to show ‘Calle San Vicente’ many years ago when it was just a dirt track and our house was not built! Drinks & Nibbles are being served also.

So we have an exciting, by our standards, start to the weekend down here on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ in sunny Manilva.
