A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE 'CHRISTMAS' WEEK.

MONDAY 21st/DECEMBER 2015.






No lie in this morning here in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ Overnight ‘Reina’ came on the bottom of the bed under her blanket after starting in her duvet in the office, ‘Charlie’ settled down on the main settee in the lounge and ‘Barny’ was on his bed also in the lounge as usual; this morning ‘Charlie’ came up and jumped onto the bed to ask to go out, I took him first and then when I came back it was ‘Barny’s’ turn, finally Brenda went out with ‘Reina around the block! 

Brenda then feeds them in sequence as they queue up at the kitchen door! ‘Charlie’ is on his tablets twice a day. At the moment ‘Chispa’ has just come crashing in and is playing with all her friends!! ‘Reina’ is being collected this evening and is then back with us on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday mornings – ‘Barny & Charlie’ are now settling in for their two week Xmas holidays!!

It’s another glorious day here in sunny Manilva, the sun was out early and the skies are clearing, there is no breeze so its very pleasant, the forecaster’s are now saying that its the 4th hottest year, ever, on record! We have more of the same to come this week and over the Xmas weekend as well as up to the end of the month.





 After breakfast we went out for a nice walk with ‘Barny & Charlie’ around the village, I called into the ‘Tabacs’ to charge my ‘Pay As You Go’ Mobile phone, Mano is calling in later to help me check out the phone systems etc. We then stopped at the little ‘Stationery Shop’ for some Post It Pads & Pins before on the way back calling into our butchers for some 'Stewing Beef' for tomorrow nights supper of ‘Beef & Vegetable Stew with ‘Crispy’ Dumplings’ Andy is joining us as he’s on a weeks holiday before Xmas, last the night the ‘Roast Leg of New Zealand Lamb’ was very tasty & tender, it was cooked to perfection – even if I do say so myself! The vegetable selection and ‘Boulangere’ Potatoes were also perfect, we are having it again this evening ‘Cold’ ( we always enjoy cold roast meats!) with a fry-up of the leftovers!

Last night we watched the “ BBC Sports Personality 2015 “ awards show which was from a very large Congress Centre in Belfast; it was very good with excellent production and with just the right note for the people of Northern Ireland, Andy Murray won the main award along with other various sports stars in all the different category’s.





Meanwhile over in England Liverpool lost at Watford(?!) 3-0 and played terribly while over here Real Madrid WON 10-2 against  9 man Rayo Vallecano with Bale scoring 4, Benzema 3 & Ronaldo 2!!

Tomorrow its the annual ‘El Gordo’ National Lottery draw so by this time tomorrow we could be ‘Millionaire’s’ Watch this space.
