A CRISP & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 9^th/ JANUARY 2017.

I was up early this morning to welcome little princess ‘ Reina’ back with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ for the first day of her five this week, sadly she didn’t arrive, Daniela rang to say that she and Lee had locked themselves out of their house, with the car keys still inside! She was not a happy bunny – Daniela not ‘Reina’!!

They are stuck until this evening to get back into their house so they are spending time with Daniela’s Mum & Dad who have just moved over here to live, ‘Reina’ will be back with us tomorrow.

We freshened ourselves up and had our normal breakfast to start the week in the right direction, Brenda has started to take the down all the Xmas decorations, a little later than normal, I will pack the Xmas Tree away later.

This morning the sun was out early, the sky is bright blue and there is no breeze, a perfect start to the week, hopefully we are in for more of the same, we will see on this afternoons weather forecast on TVE, watch this space.

This evening for supper we are having ‘ Grilled Escalopes of Chicken Fillets’ with whole Green Beans & sautéed sliced Baked Potato, the rest of the week is TBC, watch this space.

Over the weekend we spoke to Jack & Lyn over in Melbourne on the Skype video, it’s very hot, 35/37 degs, in the shade, the hottest spell in over 20 years, they had seen a lot of their families over the ‘New Year’ weekend so they were just starting to take things easy, Jack is looking well, he’s on the Oxygen all the time, Lyn was in fine spirits and looking and feeling very well, we had a good catch up with all their news and wished them a ‘ Healthy, Wealthy & Happy New Year’

Just a quick update on the weekends football results; Everton lost 1-2, Liverpool could only draw 0-0 when ‘ ‘Klopp’ put out a young second team, meanwhile over here Real Madrid won 5-0, their 39^th unbeaten game, sadly Barcelona drew 1-1 with a late Messi goal.

Michelle has just sent a ‘Facebook’ message to say that they arrived home safe & sound, she was just going to collect their dogs from the kennels, ‘Charlie’ on his last night, cut he hand rather badly, so she was taking him to the ‘A&E’ for a check up, we had a ‘ Helluva’ Brunch on Sunday before I took then across to the Airport in Gibraltar later in the evening, we can’t wait to see them all again in the not too distant future, watch this space.

We have plans for the week ahead, also no medical appointments, at the moment, hopefully Brenda’s new ‘Green Health Card’ will arrive in the post, fingers crossed in today’s lunchtime post?!  I will be out on Friday morning on my travels for the weekly shopping, Watch this space.

We are taking things easy this week, catching up with the chores etc, after all the excitement of the ‘Christmas & New Years’ celebrations with the ‘ folks’ 

There are new series starting on the ‘BBC & ITV’ at the moment and over the next few weeks, so Matt is sending me the details about the system that he use’s “ Tonbux “ – a smart android box/download system which gives you all sorts of options, Sport, Films, Sky, all the terrestrial TV stations etc. Watch this space.
