A CLOUDY & OVERCAST SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 20th / JULY 2016.



















I was up first this morning and saw ‘ Reina ‘ back for the day, she’s being picked up later this evening as Daniela is collecting Lee up from the Airport in Gibraltar after she finishes work, we all then had a little lie in until the gas bottle delivery man came down our street blowing his horn! After breakfast Brenda went along to the Chemists in ‘ Calle Mar ‘ for her tablets, I’m due for mine in the next couple of days.

This morning its a little over cast, cloudy and very close, there is the sound of thunder in the air and at one time it was spotting, the street is covered in sand as its the ‘ Sahara Rain’ that at this time of the year blows across from Africa, its the tail end of the storms that are hitting the UK at the moment after their ‘one day’ of summer! By lunchtime it will be back to normal for the time of the year, see the forecast below, the picture shows the cloud formations over Puerto de al Duquesa first thing this morning.












For our supper this evening we are having the rest of the ‘ Chicken, Mushroom & Tarragon Casserole’ – tomorrow its the ‘ Chef & Staff’s’ night off so we are having a Tapas supper along at ‘Bar Castillo’ before going down to the Cultural Centre ‘ Casa del Torres’ for the Tango Concert, on Friday its going to be my famous ‘ Seafood Risotto ‘ and Saturday will be ‘ Steak Night’

Today’s Stage 17 of the “ Tour De France “ goes into the Alps for the next four days, today is starts in Berne & ends in Finhaut-Emosson after 184 kms of climbs, Chris Froome will be looking to retain the race leaders Yellow Jersey, Mark Cavendish has left the Tour to focus on the Olympic Games where he is completing in the track racing for the first time in 8 years as he looks to add a Gold Medal ( his first!) to his collection, in the ‘Omnium’ Race. See the route map below. Watch this space.






We are taking things easy today with nothing planned, its an at home day catching up with the chores, later we will watch the ‘ Tour ‘ and then the ‘ Quiz ‘ shows before supper, later I will channel hop and find a film to watch, not forgetting our Happy Hour cocktails!


















Thoughts for the Day; See above.
