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

MONDAY 6 th/ JUNE 2016.

                                                 " Because of all those brave soldiers we have our Freedom today "

I was up first this morning to see ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, she’s here every day this week up to and including Friday: we then had our breakfast of ‘ Smoked Bacon Butties’ with a mugs of tea to start the busy week off in the right direction. Today & tomorrow morning after typing and posting the Blog I’m working on the next two playlists for my radio show, this week is ready, on Tuesday evening Mario Jnr is here for his English conversion class, we are planning to go across to ‘La Cañada’ above Marbella on Wednesday morning for some last minute shopping, then on Thursday afternoon Brenda has another appointment with the ‘Physiotherapist’ before we both go down to Sabinillas on Friday morning for the weekly shopping including a trip to Iceland in Sotogrande for the first time this year!

Its another fine day here in sunny Manilva and the forecast for the rest of the week is for more of the same and getting hotter, fingers crossed for next week as the folks arrive next Monday evening.

See the picture below taken from a different perspective of the side of St Georges Hall with the Museum & Art Galley on the right, in the background you can see the ‘St John’s Tower/Beacon’ ( now the ‘ Radio City Tower ! )  which nearly 50 years ago I watched being built, it was constructed by a continual concrete pouring process, I did the ‘ Topping Out’ ceremony when I was the Manager of the ‘ Stork Hotel’ in Queens Square just opposite! Queen Elizabeth 11 opened it in 1969.

For our supper this evening we are having a ‘ fry-up’ of the leftovers from last nights ‘ Lamb Cutlets with Boulangere Potatoes ‘ - this week’s menus have yet to be decided, watch this space.

Yesterday afternoon we watched the ‘ Men’s Final of the French Open Tennis’ from Paris as Novak Djokovic beat Andy Murray and so became the holder of all of the four ‘Grand Slams’ titles at the same time. After supper we watched the final episode of ‘ Wallander’ played by Kenneth Branagh, it was very moving as the first signs of Alzheimer’s Disease took over the life of the Swedish detective as he was investigating a Cold War story of murder & treachery within his own family, it was a very powerful and stupendous ending as he gave in his badge before retiring, not before uncovering the truth and the murderer. This week its also the last episode of ‘ Peaky Blinders’ which is promising to be a very exciting climax.

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
