A CRISP & CALM SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY;

SATURDAY 28th/ NOVEMBER 2015.







A nice lie in this morning as the village is quiet and there are no workmen on the site; I then got up and put the gas bottle out ready for the delivery man to call with the new one, he carries it through to our back store, the price which is controlled by the government is also down! Its another fine day here in sunny Manilva with no breeze so it will warm up by lunchtime, tomorrow is also fine and next week is now looking settled with sun and clear blue skies, we can’t complain for the beginning of December!! ( 22 degs! ) 

For breakfast we had ‘Campo’ Fried Eggs with crispy Smoked Bacon with lots of buttered toast and a mug of steaming tea.

This afternoon ‘Reina’ is being dropped off for a sleep over with us here in ‘Doggy World Heaven, she’s back next week on Tuesday & Thursday as normal then ‘Barny’ is back with us for a long weekend break. 'Scruffy' has just been booked in for a sleep over on the Saturday night also!

Yesterday at lunchtime we bought our Xmas Lottery ticket for the ‘El Gordo – The Big One ‘ from the local Tebac, it costs 23 euros a ticket (with tax) and is the next too biggest lottery draw in the World – fingers crossed and watch this space! On the 22nd of December we could be ‘Millionaire’s’!!

It’s a big sports weekend and now that we have English TV as well we are spoilt for choice; this afternoon its the qualifying for the last Grand Prix of the season from Abu Dhabi, then the ‘Davies Cup’ Tennis is on as England play Belgium in the final, actually its Andy Murray against the rest of the world as he wins all his games and so England are in the final for the first time! 

Later I will be watching the Horse Racing from Newbury on Channel 4 as its the ‘Hennessy Gold Cup’ In the football over in the ‘Premiere League’  Manchester City welcome Southampton and Everton travel down to Bournemouth, then tomorrow Liverpool are at home to Swansea; meanwhile over here Barcelona are at home to Real Sociedad and then tomorrow Real Madrid travel to lowly Eiber. All the football is live on the ‘First Row Sports’ channel which I can also now watch on the new system!

Last night after supper we channel hopped on English TV and watched our now usual Friday night selection, this evening we will catch ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ as it had only 4 weeks to go to the final.

For our supper we are having ‘Entrecote Steak’ cooked on a very hot griddle plate ‘Med-Rare’ with sautéed Baby Mushrooms, finely sliced Green Beans and of course some twice-cooked ‘Frits’ – then we will settle down to find a good film to watch.
