A VERY CLOSE & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY;

THURSDAY 6th/ AUGUST 2015.







We all just got up this morning when we were ready after another sticky night,the dogs 'Freddie & Bentley' sleep all night,both on their beds on the floor either side of our bed! The workmen arrived on the early shift as normal and have just cleaned the roof terrace( box) after yesterdays bricks going up.

After our regular breakfast we planned our weekend ahead; tomorrow morning we are going down to Sabinillas for our weekly shopping as usual,then tomorrow evening its the Chef's night off so he's taking the staff out on the town - well we are going on a Tapas trail along Calle Mar!

On Saturday its the 'Feria Queens' parade along Calle Mar but this year its earlier than normal as the new Council have changed the route,its starting at 5-30 pm! Then on Sunday we are out for our regular 'Paella' lunch at Bar Castillo! Its another 'exciting' weekend,by our simple standards, in sunny Manilva.

'Freddie & Bentley' are due to be collected later this morning, we have loved having them,they are such well behaved dogs,good company and easy to look after,hopefully we will see them again soon in 'Doggy World Heaven' 'Reina' arrived this morning and is with us until later this evening as Lee & Daniela are going out for dinner with their family who are over on holiday. Of course, no doubt,'Chispa' will come calling a little later to play with anybody that is still here!

PS; At the ' Ashes Fourth Test Match' at Trent Bridge Nottingham this morning England dismissed Australia for 60 - the lowest first innings in Test Match history with Stuart Broad taking 8 wickets for 15 runs in 9.3 overs! Sorry to all our Australian family & friends!See below;




Its another very close and hot day in sunny Manilva as there is no breeze today,the forecast for the weekend is that its getting hotter after the warmest July in over 30 years,next week its more of the same.




We of course are still having our 'Happy Hour' but at the moment the roof 'box' is out of bounds! We enjoy our couple of hours reading and listening to the local radio station - its the simple things in life that give you the most pleasure! Unusually we don't know what we are having for supper yet,I will find something later,at this time of the year we keep it as simple as possible, even by our standards,most of the time!




After watching the main news on TVE1 we will channel hop to find something to follow.


PS; Supper this evening was a " Broad Bean & Smoked Bacon Frittata" See below;





Thoughts for the Day; See above.
