A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 4th JULY 2015.     “USA INDEPENDENCE DAY”





Our first good lie in this week as the workmen are off for the weekend, there were no deliveries until later (gas bottles) & the children don’t play out in the mornings, so peace and tranquility in sunny Manilva to start the day!

We had a little treat of ‘Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ for our breakfast with a mug of tea, we then sorted out the weekend menus. This evening we are having ‘Minute Steaks’ with finely sliced Green Beans, a small Baked Potato and a Mixed salad, then tomorrow evening we are picking up a fresh ‘Baby Chicken’ from  our local ‘Rotisserie’ to have with more salad!

Its’ very hot & clammy again this morning as we have another hot front coming across from Africa which is going to bring with it more hot sunshine and make the temperatures even higher for this time of the year i.e. in the 40s!

‘Chispa’ is here at the moment playing around the house.

Brenda is on one of her ‘ing’ modes so is attacking anything that moves, I’m up in the office typing the Blog, as you can see, but sadly it will not be published today as I have a major problem with my ‘Goggle Chrome’ connection on the large PC, it will not load, so I can’t finish the cut & paste before publishing on ‘Word! Help is arriving on Monday morning when Andy is calling in to sort the problem out hopefully! So until then I’m typing and saving the Blogs over the weekend and will post them ASAP. Fingers crossed – watch this space.

It’s a big sports weekend, over in the UK it’s the ‘British Grand Prix’ at Silverstone and of course Wimbledon is starting to hot up;  today sees the start of this years ‘Tour de France’ with a short, flat, individual ‘Time Trial’
in Utrect,Holland,then tomorrow stage is along the Belgian coast with very dangerous cross winds, later in the week there is along ‘Cobble Stone’ stage – all this before the mountain stages. The four joint favorites are Chris Froome, Vincenjzo Nibali, Alberto Contador & Nairo Quintana. Watch this space for my dally reports!

‘Reina’ is being dropped off this evening for a sleep over.

After supper this evening we will catch up with all the news, sport & weather details before settling down to find a film to watch
