WEDNESDAY 1st/JULY
2015.
Another
early start as we had our appointments at the surgery for our check ups; we
grabbed a quick mouthful of tea and set off down to the surgery on another fine
& hot morning in sunny Manilva, the forecast for the next couple of days is
a little cooler but its then getting hotter over the weekend and into next
week.
The workmen
are busy on the top floor (?) so it could be the concrete by Friday afternoon! I was wrong, it arrived this afternoon at 4-30 pm! Den & Josie are joining us for supper on
Friday evening when we are going to have my special “Seafood Risotto” Watch
this space.
On the way
back I called into the local bank in Calle Mar for some cash from the machine,
next door in ‘Cafe Plaza’ they have knocked through to the new terrace and the
views are spectacular, I will take a picture later; See below.Its going to be one 'Helluva' view!
Brenda collected some prescriptions from the chemists and we then went down to our local butchers where we topped up the ‘meat locker’ – Chicken Wings, Pork Burgers, Calves Liver & for tonight’s supper Escalope’s of Chicken Breast which we are having with finely sliced Green Beans and a Baked Potato.

Just a
memory from the past that I was reading about in the paper this morning “ SPAM”
i.e. ‘Spiced Ham’ that is still made in parts of the World to this day, the UK
factory was in Gateacre in Liverpool next to the old ‘Speke Airport’ – now not
a lot of people know that – they do now! Happy childhood memories of ‘Spam Hash
& Spam Fritters!!
As we got
back to the house the gas bottle delivery man was just leaving up our street so
he stopped and exchanged the gas bottle, we are going to make a note of the
date and watch/check the consumption as the gas is now used in the kitchen and
the hot water boiler, we also bumped into Juan (Marble) who lives opposite us
and reminded him about out new small top in the back kitchen, yesterday I
chased up our handyman to finish the canopy extraction tube and the new light
fitting also. ‘Hasta Manana Pronto’ – watch this space.
We also
arranged one of our regular pension transfers from our old bank in North Wales as we have some monthly/yearly
annuities that still arrive in Colwyn Bay
No dogs
today accept ‘Chispa’ who will no doubt call in later when she’s out; she’s
just arrived and is playing around the house, later we will go for a short
walk and perhaps a cool drink as we take
in the sights & sounds of a very hot & sunny Manilva.
We ended up sat outside Cafe Plaza,our dear friend Brian came along with a mate for a late 'Spanish 'breakfast of toastado olive oil,tomate,fresh orange juice & coffee before they went for a swim in the pool up at the 'Manilva Green Aparthotel' See below;

At the
moment the roof terrace is sadly out of bounds as quiet frankly its dangerous
to be out on! We will still have our ‘Happy Hour’ cocktails, whilst listening
to the radio and reading, probably down stairs in the lounge as the chill-out
room at that time catches the sun!
After
supper we will catch up with all the news, sport and weather details before channel
hopping to find something to watch.
Thoughts
for the Day; See above.
