A VERY HOT & 'STICKY' SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY;

THURSDAY 25th/ JUNE 2015.









I was up early to welcome back ‘Reina’ for the day before the workmen arrived; they are working on the 3rd/4th floor which is now above our roof terrace on two sides, by next week we will be out of sight of the outside world with only a little bit of sky above our heads!

They have not stopped work all day and as you can see in the pictures above the 3rd/4th floor is going up along side our terrace,next it will be the walls,ceiling and roof! The last picture is our new view!!

After breakfast I shot along to the local bank to pay the water bill and then carried on down to our local butchers for some thick-cut ‘English’ style ‘Pork Chops - Baked’ for tonight’s supper which we are having with a selection of Brenda’s vegetables and just a few dry sautéed thick cut slices of Baked potato.

I was catching up with the WWW I found on Facebook that sometime yesterday Lee & Daniela had an accident in their new car, they are both fine but no news of the car yet, I will find out about what happened when ‘Reina’ is picked up this evening! Watch this space.It sounds like a bit of a 'coming together' in the car park in front of 'Iceland' so hopefully fixable! 



At the moment its ‘clammy’ in sunny Manilva as the sun is attempting to break through, it will be even hotter later reaching 30degs this afternoon, over Andalusia over the next few days and into next week its going to reach over 40degs inland – July is just around the corner!

We are having an ‘at home day’ catching up with the chores, well Brenda is, I’m up in the office keeping out of the way, checking the WWW – reading the newspapers, E-Mails etc.

Later this afternoon we will be back up on what’s left of our roof terrace for our usual ‘Happy Hour’ cocktails, reading and listening to Brenda’s Birthday CD - ‘Sixties’ classic hits – track 3- in all over 70 tunes that we can sing to as I play the music LOUD!





After supper we will settle down to watch the news, sport and weather updates before we find something to watch. Tomorrow morning we are picking Josie up on our usual shopping travels, we are going around to the surgery to make appointments for both of us for check ups, then down to Sabinillas to collect the papers from the English Bookshop, next Mercadona and finally the local market at the far end of the promenade to pick up some fresh flowers and plants ( Josie )








Thoughts for the Day; See above.
