A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY;

THURSDAY 30^th/APRIL2015!

By the time I was up this morning to welcome ‘Reina’ back for the day the sky was blue and the sun was out, it’s getting hotter today, by lunchtime it will be 28/29degs and the weekend is looking even hotter;.we are now on 'Red Alert' for the weekend as is reaches 31/35degs! See below;

The workmen on the development are back erecting the steel frame work for the foundations and the council painters, after a little persuasion, have started to paint down our street, the sides at the moment, but it’s a start! See the picture below;

Yesterday over in the Port of Malaga the largest cruise liner in the World was berthed for the day “MS Allure of the Seas” She was built in Turku, Finland and her gross tonnage is 225,282. She can accommodate 5,400 passengers and has a two deck dance hall, a ice rink, a theater that seats 1,380 people and 25 different dining options including the first ‘Starbucks’ at sea!

At the same time in the shipyard her sister ship the “MS Oasis of the Seas” was built to the same specifications but the “ Allure of the Seas” has just been declared the largest cruise liner in the World as she is officially 50 millimeters ( 2.0in) longer! The Boffins’ say that its due to the temperature at the time of the steel used in the construction!! Not a lot of people know that – they do now! See the pictures below;

Today is an at home day after all the excitement, by our standards, of yesterdays adventures out & about on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ Little ‘Chispa’ came calling earlier so we will go for a nice walk with both of the dogs a little later.While we were out with the dogs the painters gave the sides of our street another coat,no looking even smarter.

This afternoon the roof terrace beckons, I will join Brenda a little later after the sun moves around for our ‘Happy Hour’ cocktails & nibbles listening to the local music radio station sat under our new Yellow parasol, what a life!

This evening for supper we are having my own recipe/version of a ‘Broad Bean Frittata’ with a nice Mixed Salad on the side, we will then settle down to find something to watch. See below;
