A STILL WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY;

THURSDAY 12^th/ NOVEMBER 2015.

I was up early to welcome back ‘Riena’ who is with us for the day, after breakfast ‘ Scruffy’ arrived for the day also and later ‘Chispa’ came calling to see her friends! One bit of news in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ is that little ‘Maisie’ is not joining us for Xmas, with ‘Barny’ as a dear friend of Lyndsey - ‘Barny’s’ owner, has fallen in love with her and she has moved in with them! It sounds like both dogs are fine and content with the new arrangement.

The sun is out and its already warm in sunny Manilva, the forecast for over the weekend into next week is also looking good with more of the same to come. During the night its a little cooler but the day time temperatures are hovering on the 22 degs mark , so we can’t complain.

Just before breakfast we were listening to ‘Castle Radio FM 89.2’ on the WWW. as were getting ourselves freshened up and I sent Andrew a ‘Skype’ message to say what a great show, later Andrew made contact on the ‘Skype’ video and we had a nice chat and get to know as we have not met him, so tomorrow afternoon we are going down to Castillo de la Duquesa to meet him in his local and then go along to the studio which is in his house. 

As we talked we found that we have lots of things in common and I’m now looking forward to and getting rather excited to my firsts ‘live’ broadcast show on Sunday morning between 11.00 am – 12.00 noon. Hopefully I will get asked back, for a regular spot, and if so Andrew suggested that I would be able with my new computer system be able to broadcast from my office upstairs in the house!! That would be terrific so please listen in to the ‘Sunday Lunchtime Classic Show’ with ‘Sir’ Malcolm Sexton’ and send in your suggestions/requests!! Watch this space!!

For our supper this evening we are having Pan-Fried ‘Lambs Liver’ dusted in flour and seared ‘Pink’ with English Pork Sausage, crispy Spanish Smoked Bacon & sautéed Onions; Cabbage with Alselgas and dry-sauteed thick-cut slices of Baked Potatoes. See below;

Last night after supper we watched on ITV the ‘Beatles’ programme with some classic pictures and films of them, some un-scene, of all their records with lots of information and comments from various celebrity’s,  it was their top 30 records as voted by the audience and the number one was the classic over 7 minute long “ Hey Jude “ PS; it makes my ‘Beatles’ spot on my Radio Show even more relevant!!

PS; I've just booked a table at the celebrity restaurant " La Sala " in Puerto Banus for their Sunday Lunch with Live Music on the 29/th November for our 44/ th wedding anniversary!!

See below a picture taken this morning of 'Mount Snowdon' ( 1085 m ) at its best; back in December 1971. we climbed the mountain with the help of the Worlds Greatest Mountaineer,at the time, Joe Brown!! It was our first job after we had been married, we were the Managers of the very famous Mountaineer's Hotel " Pen Y Gwrd" which was Sir Edmund Hilary's training base back in 1953 before the first assent of Everest!!
