A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY.

TUESDAY 16^th / AUGUST 2016.

I was up first this morning to see ‘Reina’ back with us for the day, we then went back to bed for a little lie in until the gas bottle delivery man came down our street blowing his horn! After our normal breakfast I shot down to the butchers for something for this evenings supper, I bought ‘ Escalope’s of Chicken Breast ‘ and ‘ Chicken Wings ‘ for another day.

This morning the ‘Lavente’ breeze has dropped so its over 6 degs warmer straight away, the sun was out early and the sky is bright blue, the forecast is for more of the same over the next few days before it gets warmer again over the weekend.

So for our supper this evening we are having the ‘ Escalope’s of Chicken Breast ‘ pan-fried in foaming Lemon & Balsamic Butter, garnished with sautéed Button Mushrooms, finely sliced Green Beans and the rest of the Baby New Potatoes in their skins.

Last night we were able to watch the Track Cycling from the Velodrome in Rio on the Spanish sports channel ‘TDP’ as they broadcast the racing  because there was a Spanish rider in the race! The final event of the Omnium was the 160 lap points race, Mark Cavendish took the Silver medal after a controversial result as he collided with a rider causing a crash behind including the Italian leader of the race, the race was briefly neutralised, Italy’s Elia Vivani won the race anyway.

Meanwhile in the ‘Ladies Omnium’ the defending champion, Great Britain’s, Laura Trott leads at the halfway stage after a masterful display, she finished first in two of the events and second in the third, this evening its the final three events, also its the ‘Men’s Keirin’ finals with Jason Kenny going for Gold again!

During all the sports watching we are still managing to follow our favourite ‘ Quiz’ programmes, ‘ Countdown, Pointless, Eggheads & University Challenge ‘ as we partake in our ‘ Happy Hour ‘ cocktails!

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
