A VERY WARM BUT NOT SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 27^th / JUNE 2016.

We were up early this morning as I had to take the hire car back to Marbella, Mano brought me back and we called into our local garage in the village and arranged for our car to go in for its ‘ ITV-MOT’ tomorrow morning, Pedro takes it through to Estepona, for a small fee, and if it does not pass he will sort it out, fingers crossed and watch this space.

Brenda saw ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, she’s here for her regular five days, this evening ‘ Scruffy’ is joining us for a sleep over, when I came back this morning ‘ Chispa’ was here to see her friends, she call in all the time. This afternoon Brenda has an appointment with the ‘ Physiotherapist’

When ‘Reina’ is collected this evening Lee is going to check my ‘Dell’ computer system that is connected to our large screen TV and see if he can sort out the problem and un-block ( Add Block ?!) the two main channels so as we can watch the football,  this evening Spain play Italy, its on ‘Tele-Cinco’ but later England play Iceland which is on BBC 1, watch this space.

For our supper this evening we are having the rest of the ‘Roast Lamb’ with a fry up of the leftover vegetables and ‘ Boulangere Potatoes’ – tomorrow evening its going to be ‘ Grilled Gammon Steaks ’- for the rest of the week we are deciding one day at a time!

Today its still very warm but a little overcast and humid, the sky is overcast & grey but by lunchtime, no doubt, it will be back to normal, the week ahead is calm and settled with warm sunshine although in Northern Spain there are storms and rain. See below the ' Playa de Sabinillas ' early this morning !

Last night after supper we watched ‘ Glastonbury’ as ‘ Jeff Lynn’s ELO ’ took to the main stage first, he played all the old songs with the ‘grandest’ orchestra behind him, all very professional and the whole set was terrific with a great atmosphere, they finished with a very special version of ‘ Roll Over Beethoven ’ that I played on my show the other day!

The closing act was ‘ Coldplay ‘ who did a very good and moving set with great lighting and sound effects, fireworks etc, they did a tribute to the young group ‘ Vilola Beach’ who were all killed in a tragic car accident in Sweden earlier in the year, Chris Martin’s children, Apple & Moses, joined him on stage to sing a ‘Chorus’ line and Barry Gibb came on and they did a ‘ Disco’ version of ‘ Stayin’ Alive ‘ ! At the end of the show Micheal Eavis, the dairy farmer that started Glastonbury back in the 60s came on and ' sang ' a version of ' My way ' accompanied by ' Coldplay' !!

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
