A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF A ' HELLUVA' WEEK;

MONDAY 25^th / JULY 2016.

I was up first this morning to welcome ‘ Reina’ back with us, she’s here for her normal five days and then back on Sunday for a sleep over, she is settled on her duvet up in the office with fan on, she come down when she need too, Daniela is collecting her a little later than normal this evening. There is no sign of ‘ Chispa’ as she’s on her holidays with her family down at the ‘ Campo in the valley below the village.

After a quick breakfast we sorted ourselves out and went down to the surgery for Brenda’s appointment with the Doctor for the results of all her tests last week, everything is all right, her readings are fine and she’s adjusted some of her prescriptions, the only problem that has been high-lighted is with her Kidneys, this first came to light when she had her fall back in January, since then the results have been monitored, she is now sending her to see a ‘ Kidney Consultant ‘ in the ‘ Internal Medicine Department ‘ at the ‘ Costa Del Sol Hospital’ over in Marbella, watch this space.

Today is going to be the hottest day so far this week, the sun was out from early and the skies are clear, the breeze has dropped again and it was already ready hot when we went out earlier, the rest of the week is going be more of the same and getting hotter down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’- all of Andalucia is on ‘Red Alert’

This evening for our supper we are keeping it simple, Cold Smoked York Ham with fried ‘Campo’ Eggs and ‘ Frits’ – later we are going out to watch the Annual  ‘ Manilva Brass Band Concert ’ on the top stage,  before its the ‘ Election of the Reinas & Damas ‘ for the ‘ Feria ‘ in August, see below; then tomorrow evening is the ‘ Verbena de Sta. Ana Festival ‘- we will follow the religious procession in the early evening and then go back out later to listen to the two bands on both stages.

Yesterday in the afternoon we watched the ‘ Hungarian Grand Prix’ as Lewis Hamilton led from the start, after the first corner, and controlled the race, he’s now back in the lead in the Drivers Championship, meanwhile over in Paris Chris Froome duly won the “ Tour De France “ for the third time.

After supper we settled down to watch, again,  “ Quantum of Solace “ 2008 as Daniel Craig makes his next mission personal, next week its “ Skyfall “ 2012 which we have not seen, we are looking forward to watching Daniel Craig as James Bond, for the last time, its sounds like its the best ‘ Bond’ movie ever, ‘ Scene to scene, moment to moment, the movie offers one of the richest and most interesting ‘ Bond’ adventure ever ‘ – we can’t wait!!

Thoughts for the Day, See above.
