A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY - " NOCHE EMBRUJO "

SATURDAY 30^th/ JULY 2016.

We had a nice lie in this morning as the village is very quiet at this time of the year, no children playing, no deliveries, no Church Bells etc, we are having an at home day taking things easy as we are out this evening for the ‘ Noche Embrujo ‘ – they are working in  ‘Calle Mar’ at the moment putting up the lighting & sound systems, finishing the various stages, the traditional coloured shawls are on all the balconies, later they will ‘ dress’ the street with scented ferns and lots of Candle Lights.

We have another very hot day ahead here in sunny Manilva, there is no breeze, at the moment, last year it got rather windy and all the candles were blown out!  Last night was very hot and ‘sticky’ with not a breath of fresh air, it get rather uncomfortable to say the least and makes sleeping a little difficult. We are in for a very hot weekend and next week is going to be even warmer for the start of August, only 13 Fridays to Xmas!!

See the picture below of Liverpool taken last night with a floodlit St.George’s Hall, Lime Street, the old Great Western Hotel, the Royal Court Theatre and the city centre all on show.

After our regular breakfast of toast & tea we sorted ourselves out, we are having a ‘ Brunch’ later of ‘ Campo Fried Eggs, Seared Smoked Bacon, Grilled Button Mushrooms & Tomato and Sauteed Potatoes, it will keep us going as this evening we are going up to ‘ Bar Castillo ‘ for a late ‘Tapas’ supper. Tomorrow evening its now going to be our ‘ Steak Night’ with ‘ Grilled Fillet Steak’ with all the trimmings before we settle down to watch the latest James Bond movie ‘ Skyfall ‘ over in ITV.

This afternoon we are going all ‘sporty’ and watching the Horse Racing from ‘ Glorious Goodwood’ – the Ladies ‘Open Golf’ from Woburn, the Men’s ‘US PGA’ - the Qualifying from the ‘German Grand Prix’ at Hockenheim and some Cycling from London.

We are having our  ‘ Happy Hour ‘ a little early this evening before we go up to ‘Calle Mar’ for a night of singing, dancing, music, various acts & excitement, watch this space.
