A CRISP & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 28th/ DECEMBER 2015.







No lie in this morning as the workmen were back on site and commenced by knocking non-stop for next few hours; late last night Lee & Daniela dropped little princess ‘Reina’ off for her New Years holiday instead of early this morning, they are flying from Malaga via Madrid to New York. Have a ‘Helluva’ time! ( postcard ?!)

So for the next couple of days we have three dogs here in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ until ‘Barney’ goes home on Wednesday, they all get on very well, each has their separate ways, food etc. At breakfast time its like feeding time at the Zoo as they line up at the kitchen door, I take ‘Charlie’ out first, then ‘Barny’ and finally Brenda goes for a short walk with ‘Reina’ Overnight ‘Barny’ sleeps on his bed in the lounge, ‘Charlie’ wanders from the settees in the lounge and ends up on our bed in the morning and ‘Reina’ sleeps all night in either of her two Duvets, one in the office and one in the bedroom!  Of course ‘Chispa’ will no doubt be calling in to play with all her friends, we are going to post pictures of ‘Reina’ everyday, at the request of Lee, on her own Facebook page ‘Reina – The Duquesa Doxie’ – see picture below - or here!





Last night we had a Facebook message and later a phone call from our dear friend Jane over in Northwich to let is know that she and David are coming over for three days at the end of January, they fly into Malaga and are staying at the ‘ Estepona H10’ – our favourite local hotel, we are looking forward to welcoming them back as they have not been over for a couple of years, no doubt we will be out and about on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’!

After speaking to Tim& Thea on ‘Boxing Day’ Tim has posted a large set of pictures of their year on their travels in the new motor home as well as the family, please find below one of us when we welcomed then to sunny Manilva for my 70th birthday with ‘Reina’ and some of Jo & Ben.








Over in England today in the ‘Premiere League’ Everton welcome Stoke, the tomorrow Manchester City travel to Leicester and then on Wednesday Liverpool travel across to Sunderland, yesterday afternoon the racing from Kempton Park on Channel 4 was very exciting as ‘ Sprinter Sacre’ won a thrilling ‘ Desert Orchid Chase’ - Speaking of which please see below a picture of the “ El Parque Botanico Orguidario “ over in Estepona at night!





For our supper this evening we are having ‘Cold Roast Norfolk Turkey’ ( a la Bernard Mathews ) with some Baby New Potatoes in their skins & Baby Carrots & Garden Peas, then on Tuesday I’m making a classic ‘Turkey Fricassee’ with the leftovers!

Last night after our supper we settled down and watched a film on TVE1 “ Cowboys & Aliens” from 2011 – a science fiction western starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and the delectable Oliva Wilde.

PS, I’m listening to ‘Castle Radio FM’ on the WWW. at the moment as I’m typing the Blog, its playing non-stop back to back music! They are now back on 89.2 with reduced power?!
