A VERY WET & OVERCAST SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 20th / APRIL 2016.





















Overnight and then early this morning we had a severe storm hit us with thunder, lightening & very heavy rain, at one time a cloudburst, when it rain in Spain, it RAINS! ‘Scruffy’ slept in his bed and then on our bed as it hit us, ‘ Reina’’ is not with us today as Daniela is not feeling well and has taken the day off. It then stopped raining so I shot out with ‘ Scruffy’ with his raincoat on, just in case, for his first walk of the day, after breakfast ( Smoked Bacon Butties!) I went along to the Chemists in Calle Mar for some of our prescription tablets.

Yesterday evening we went down to the surgery for our appointment with the Chiropodist, Carmen, she is a very nice lady, she also speaks  French, as her husband is from Belgium, she never stops talking and is a real character, sadly she told us that we have to re-register with the Council at the Town Hall to continue with the treatment ( free!) – so I’m shooting up later to hopefully get things sorted, watch this space.

The forecast for the next few days is ‘ changeable’ to say the least, today its more of the storm all day, then tomorrow its back to warm & sunny, then on Friday its cloudy with a possibility of some of the wet stuff and then over the weekend its starting to look more settled, for now!

The pictures below show Crosby beach on the River Mersey, at sunrise, with one of the famous ‘ Sir Antony Gormley’ statues, the night time picture is a view across the river from the Pier Head to Birkenhead, the black & white picture shows the Liver Building last night and then there is view of ‘Lime Street’ station looking a lot better after a partial refurbishment, later this year it is closing for a total make-over?!












This evening we are having one of our more simple meals,’ Escalopes of Chicken Breast’ pan-fried in foaming Lime Butter with whole Green Beans & Potato wedges, on Thursday its something easy and then on Friday it will be a ‘Fish Supper’ before our regular ‘ Steak Night’ on Saturday, Sunday is TBC!

Today I’m working on my scripts/play lists for the start of my radio show on Saturday morning “ Sir Malcolm’s Classic Saturday Session “ between 11-00am to 1-00pm on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online World Wide’ – tomorrow Andrew Charles the owner and main presenter is coming up at lunchtime to install the complete system onto my new computer system, watch this space for all the details!












"NEWSFLASH "


PS; We have just heard from Brenda's two sisters, Norah & Jenny, over in England that they are planning to come over at the end of June to stay with us, it will be so nice to welcome them back to sunny Manilva, Brenda is especially excited and ' made up' to be seeing them again!!
