WEDNESDAY
29th/ APRIL 2015.
We were up
early this morning and after quick cup of tea we shot out on our travels on the
‘Costa Del
Sol ’ – the
sun was out early, the sky is blue and by lunchtime it was 27degs. – the
forecast for the next few days and over the weekend is getting even hotter
29/31 degs! We will survive!!
The drive
along the coast road next to the sparkling Blue/Green Medittarean was as usual
spectacular and Estepona is at its best with all the flowers in full bloom
along the promenade and in the old Town.See below;
We stopped at our bank, first thing and updated all our details, as required by the new Government Law that comes into force on the 1st May. We then parked the car in the underground car park under the promenade and called in for a coffee & Tostado at out favorite Café.

Brenda went
off for some essential cosmetics and also came back with a new neck scarf &
ear rings, meanwhile I had a nice relaxing shampoo,wash,cut and scalp massage
in my Barbers, Manuel; we then met up and did some window shopping were I found
a pair of “ Blue Swede Shoes ” – slip on ‘Loafers’ ‘The King is Dead, Long Live
the King’ ! From the same shop Brenda managed to find another ‘Handbag’ Well a
‘Girl’ can never have enough Handbags! See the picture below of my shoes!!
We then
picked the car up and went up to the large ‘Poligamo’ to the ‘Car Hypermarket’
for some Coolant for the little ‘Red Ferrari’ – we then called into ‘Furniture
World’ and with the help of a very attentive lady assistant we managed to
source a four-ring gas burner to fit into the Marble top that the old electric
one is in! There is also a matching extractor hood that fits into the back
kitchen at the same time – both at very reasonable prices! They can be ordered
on one day and be at the shop the next, now that’s a RESULT – we are calling
back ASAP to order them!! (While this was happening Brenda found a new large
bright Yellow sun parasol for the roof terrace)!
It was then
time to go for our Tapas lunch in San Pedro at our favorite Bar next to the new
Boulevard; on the way we picked up some essential night lights & big straws
for our ‘Happy Hour’ cocktails, from ‘La Casa’ We had some nice cool drinks sat
in the shade outside, Brenda had the ‘Bacarones in Oil & Vinegar’ &
some ‘Rosado Frito’ I had a ‘Tortillas Camarones’ the ‘Chicken Korma’ and a
very delicious & tasty ‘Mini-Burger’ – as you can see in the picture above.
It was then
time to come back to a very hot & sunny Manilva up the hill through the
vine fields which are now in full bloom.
For our
supper later this evening we are having grilled ‘Gammon Steak’ with Pineapple,
Garden Peas &Frits’ We will then settle down to catch up with all the news,
sport and weather details before finding something to watch.
One
‘Helluva’ day out and about on the ‘Costa Del Sol ’ –again!
PS; This morning as we were leaving the workmen arrived and they have started to fix the iron rods for the re-enforced concrete as you can see below, which means.more concrete!
At the bottom of our street the council painters have finished Calle Adrades and the junction,I will find out tomorrow if they are doing our street?! We don't think they will until the development is finished!! See below.
