WEDNESDAY 15th/ JULY 2015.
The workmen started early again this morning so we choose to ignore them and turned over for a little lie in,it's hot and sultry already and by lunchtime it will be in the high 30 s - meanwhile up in Cordoba the folks are ' roasting' in the high 40 s!
For the rest of the week and over the weekend its more of the same as the 'heatwave' continues; 'Chispa' has just come calling, we have left a small gap at the bottom of the front door shutters so she can come and go as she pleases! At the moment she's is upstairs with Brenda in the drying room watching her doing the ironing, the roof terrace is out of bounds as the workmen are building the next floor above our heads,before the roof goes on!
We had our usual breakfast and are now sorting ourselves out for the day ahead; we have decided to go down this evening to the Duquesa Marina for a light supper and then go and watch the ' Manilva School of Music' " Profesores - Teachers" Concert later. At this time of the year Duquesa is mad busy and its very difficult to find somewhere to park - watch this space - that's if we find a space!!
Last night on the 'TDP' Sports Channel I was watching a sport that you don't see every day " Lucha" - 'Canarian Folk Wrestling' ! Its a cross between 'Sumo & Greek/Roman' It takes place in a large indoor arena in a sand circle 'Terrero' between two teams of large men(12) wearing shorts rolled up high on their legs ( for grip!) They use 'Manas -Throws' - two falls for a win - the match is over when all 12 men of one team have been defeated!! It goes on for quiet a while and the crowd gets very excited, to say the least! See the picture below;
Meanwhile up in the 'Pyrenees' its Stage 11 of the 'Tour de France' from Pau to Vallee De Saint-Savin over 188 kms, they go over the 'Col D'Aspin before the classic Col de Tourmalet' at 2115 meters before another climb to the finish!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
