A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 20th/ JUNE 2015.










We had a nice easy lie in this morning with no workmen and the village is quiet after last night concert; we walked down after supper and stayed for a couple of hours, it was packed, as it was a balmy evening under the stars. See some pictures above of the Choirs, Flamenco School & later the Professors of the ‘School of Music Band’ with our friend Isobel singing!

This morning for breakfast I was treated to Brenda’s famous ‘Campo Poached Eggs on Toast’ with a mug of steaming tea; we then shot down to Sabinillas for a ‘Good Luck’ card for Lumy and also picked up a nice flower display for her as tomorrow evening we have been invited to a ’Surprise’ party up at Bar Rojas for her and Manolo’s last night!

The large tableau as been built on the beach front in Sabinillas ready for the ‘Noche San Juan’ festival on Tuesday evening/night - see the picture below.





Today is going to be a hot one as its already very warm and sunny and by this afternoon we will be breaking the 30degs mark again, for our ‘Sunday Roast’ lunch out tomorrow at ‘Cocomo’ - we have booked a nice table in the shade, before we are going to call into the ‘H10’ Hotel in Estepona for a chilled glass of their finest Cava!

At lunchtime we went up to Bar Rojas for a cool drink sat under the 'Sonbrajo' chatting with Lumy,the new Mayor Diego was also there with some colleague's, so I took the opportunity to give him the Blog details and  at the same time put my first complaint in for some new friends in Calle Utopia  who are having some sleepless nights due to the very late noise from the Bar by 'Plaza de la Vendimia' Watch this space!!

We are having an easy day at home before all the excitement for tomorrow’s celebrations down here on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ ‘Chispa’ has just come cashing in and is playing around my feet as I’m typing the Blog; last night I started to introduce the new Councilors to the Blog as they are also new to the village, the new Deputy Mayor Antonio, who we do know, was there with his very posh smart phone! Watch this space.

Next week in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ Scruffy’ is with us on Monday and then later in the week TBC. ‘Reina’ is with us as normal on Tuesday & Thursday. We also have two pick up runs in the ‘Red Limousine’ from the bus station over in Marbella on Monday & Saturday night, both late, to collect first Josie and the Den! The ‘Queen’ is back – “Long Live the Queen” (and her Consort)!

For our supper this evening we are having ‘Grilled Entrecote Steaks’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘Pink’ with a side of sautéed Baby Mushrooms, finely sliced Green Beans and for the last time for a while twice-cooked ‘Frits’




The dreaded “D’ day is approaching on Monday with an official weigh in followed by a new regime of healthy eating along with the diet and lots of regular exercise on the bicycle in the Chill-out room!! Watch this space.

We will be up on the roof terrace later after the sun moves round for our ‘Happy Hour’ After supper we will catch up with all the news, sport high light’s and the weather forecast before settling down to watch a film.
