A VERY HOT & CLAMMY SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 2nd / AUGUST 2016.






















We had a little lie in this morning as ‘ Reina’ was with us last night for a sleep over, she’s been very good and has slept very well and is eating everything on her diet, she’s due to be collected this evening and then is back with us as usual up to Friday; no sign of ‘ Chispa’ as she’s away on her holiday down at the family ‘ Campo ‘ in the valley below the village.

After breakfast I shot along to the Chemists in ‘Calle Mar’ for our prescription tablets and then carried on down to the Butchers for some of his excellent ‘Diced Beef’- he cuts everything to order after you tell him what you want and what it’s for!

This evening for our supper we are having ‘ Grilled Minute Steaks ‘ – trimmed & flattened ‘Entrecote’ Steak, smeared with Dijon Mustard, then seared on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Rare’ and garnished with Button Mushrooms, finely sliced Green Beans & some twice-cooked ‘ Frits’ on the side. Tomorrow morning, while Brenda is down in Sabinillas at the Hairdressers, I’m making a ‘ Beef Curry’

Today has started a little overcast & very close, there is not a breath of air, its very ‘clammy & sticky’ – later the sun is due to break through and we will be back to normal, the week ahead is looking hotter and over the weekend its going to be the hottest so far this year, overnight it was very hot & sticky and we did not have much sleep. Watch this space.








Yesterday afternoon & evening we had our ‘ Quiz ‘ extravaganza; 15 to 1, Countdown, Pointless, Egg Heads, University Challenge and finally Connect! I even got one answer correct on Connect!! Later after supper we caught the late films, the ‘ Oscar’ winning ‘ Million Dollar Baby ‘ and ‘ Nighthawks ‘ from 1981.






Thoughts for the Day; See above.
