A VERY CLOUDY, COOL & OVERCAST SUNNY MANILVA ON FRIDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND;

FRIDAY 25th/ NOVEMBER 2016.






















I was up early this morning and shot out on my travels down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, Brenda saw ‘ Reina’ back with us for the day, I had to go to our Bank, again, as the problem with the online banking system for our new ‘Savings’ account is still not coming online?! With the Managers help, a phone call to the head office has been made,in Madrid, and E-Mails have been sent, watch this space!

I then carried on to ‘ Mercadona’ for the main shop, next I called into the ‘Wholesale/Retail’ Fruit & Vegetable Market, I  then shot along the promenade to the local market for the fresh flowers and wall plants, finally I stopped at ‘ Super Sol’ for the English essentials.

I then came back up the hill to a rather cloudy & overcast sunny Manilva to the house to unload, I then popped along to the local Bank in ‘Calle Mar’ to pay the water bill, overnight it got a little wet, to say the least, but this morning I’ve managed to miss the showers, the forecast for the next few days and into next week is not looking good, rain & winds, the ‘ Atlantic’ front is not moving on, the overall temperatures are dropping a little, in fact its’ the coldest it’s been in many years during the night, not good drying weather!

Brenda has just walked around/down the surgery for her ‘ ECG’ – she was all wired up and the machine didn’t work, they tried repairing it with no luck, she now has to go back nearly next Tuesday morning to try again, as her appointment with our Doctor is on Wednesday! We also have our appointments with the ‘ Chiropodist’ on Tuesday evening.

Our plans for this weekend have been somewhat disrupted, to say the least, our friend Gillian is not now arriving until Sunday lunchtime, this means that I have had to cancel our ‘ Sunday Roast Lunch’ out at the ‘ Beach House’ in Elviria, which we were looking forward too, we are moving our ‘Saturday Night Steak Night’ to Sunday evening, she is now only with us for two days as I’m taking her across to Estepona on Tuesday morning to stay with some other friends, watch this space.

PS; Tuesday is our 45th Wedding Anniversary, at the moment we have no plans, watch this space.






For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Goujons of Hake Fillet’ using local breadcrumbs, Mushy Peas & twice-cooked diced ‘ Frits’ with Homemade ‘Tartar’ sauce on the side, tomorrow night is yet to be decided.

Last night we channel hopped and watched nothing in particular!
