A OVERCAST SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 21^st/ APRIL 2015.

I was up early this morning, in fact before the workmen arrived, ‘Reina’ was dropped off by Lee, and she’s here for the day and back on Thursday as usual, she is now also joining us on Friday lunchtime and stopping for a sleep over until Saturday evening, which is nice as ‘Scruffy’ is not with us this week as Adrian is off sick.

The weather today is a little overcast as a small front has blown in from the Mediterranean, it means that a Atlantic front has been forced away from us and is now hitting Northern Spain, tomorrow its settling down and the sun and clear blue skies are back with us in sunny Manilva; over the weekend its also getting warmer with the temperatures reaching 27/28degs!

So we are having an at home day, taking things easy, later we will go for a walk with ‘Reina’ & ‘Chispa’after we collect her as she’s not let out as the road is closed and the demolition ‘JCB’ is working in one of the streets where she plays!

For supper this evening we are having “Escalope of Pork Schnitzels” using breadcrumbs from the local Bakery, Diamond cut Green Beans and ‘Spaghetti Milanese’ using my Tomato Salsa; I’m finishening mine ‘Holstein’ style with garnished with Cappers & Anchovy fillets, topped with a Campo Fried Egg! Lots of Lemon wedges on the side!!

On ‘TVE I’ this evening it’s the Second Leg of the ‘Champions League’ Quarter Finals as Barcelona welcome Paris St.G 1-3 down after the first leg.

Last night we watched after the news on ‘TVE 1’ – so with no 7 minute adverts – “The Patriot” from 2000 with Mel Gibson and a young and the late Heath Ledger in a very moving story of a father with seven children, which takes place in the ‘American Revolutionary War’ of the 1770s against the British; its based on real-life events and factual figures but it attracted controversy over its fictional portrayal of the historical figures and the atrocities depicted. Chris Cooper, Jason Isaacs, Tom Wilkinson,Tcheky Karyo and the very watchable Joely Richardson are in the excellent supporting cast, plenty of hankies are needed!
