A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON ' REMEMBRANCE' SUNDAY;

SUNDAY 8^th/ NOVEMBER 2015.

We are being spoilt as we have managed another long lie in this morning; we then sorted out our day ahead, for breakfast we had ‘Crispy Smoked Bacon Butties’ with a mug of tea, we are having a quiet day at home, relaxing, the sun is out and its calm & mild, 21 degs!

Later we are going to watch the ‘Remembrance Day’ service from the Cenotaph in Whitehall as the Queen and the nation remember and salute the fallen. Last night we followed the ‘Remembrance’ service at the Albert Hall, it was very moving and at one time we were both in tear’s, its the first time in a long time that we have sat together as we have always been working on a Saturday evenings!

Before the Albert Hall service we watched the next episode of ‘Rick Stein – Venice to Istanbul’ as he travelled around Albania. If you don’t like ‘Offal’ then don’t watch this programme as there is a awful lot of it on show!! Later I watched for the first time in many years ‘ Match of the Day’ with all the games in the Premiere League as Everton could only draw 1-1 at West Ham and Chelsea lost again!

For our supper this evening, which our Swedish friend Lillemor is joining us for, we are having to start fresh Asparagus Spears with Hollandaise sauce and Smoked Salmon with crisp Bread biscuits; for the main course its my famous ‘Smoked Chicken & Broad Bean Risotto’ – for the dessert its Chocolate Eclairs with fresh local Strawberries. See the 'Risotto' below;

This afternoon I will be watching the ‘ Moto GP’ from Valencia as Rossi & Lorenzo fight for the World Championship in what could be a rather exciting finish to this years series and of course later all the round ups of the football over here and in the UK. 

Well Jorge Lorenzo won his 3rd World title as he won today's race and Rossi could only get up to 4th! The Moto 3 World Champion is the British rider Danny Kent,the first rider from the UK to win in over 38 years after the great Barry Sheen!!

At the moment we are quiet in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ as nobody is on holiday so its just little Princess ‘Reina’ next Tuesday & Thursday for the day; of course ‘ Chispa’ is in and out all the time looking to play with all her friends; we also have a quiet week here in sunny Manilva with no appointments etc, for now.

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
