A VERY WET, COLD & OVERCAST SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY.

SATURDAY 29^th / APRIL 2017.

We managed a little lie in this morning before the gas bottle delivery man called, we had a faulty one last week so he exchanged it for a new one, we then had a cup of tea and toast, Brenda is washing her hair and as you can see I’m up in the office/studio on the WWW.

‘Chispa’ came crashing in, first thing, and stopped for breakfast, she has been clipped, not scalped, they have left her with a full head of hair, she looks rather different, to say the least, watch this space for a picture when I can catch her! Next week ‘ Reina’ is back with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ for four days from Tuesday.

Next week the car is in for a check up on Tuesday, Brenda has an appointment with her hairdresser down in Sabinillas on Wednesday, I’m at the surgery on Thursday for my review/check up and then on Friday I will be out on my travels for the weekly shopping, we are planning to go out for ‘ Sunday Lunch’ to our favourite restaurant ‘ Kokomo’

Overnight the rain has stopped after the storm lasted 24 hours, it’s grey & overcast with black clouds and it looks like we are in for more rain soon, it's just started again, it’s also a lot cooler, 17/18degs, tomorrow it’s forecast to be back to normal for the time of the year, warm & sunny, next week is staying warm, dry and settled, getting hotter as the week goes on, watch this space.

See below a spectacular picture showing the ‘ Expressway’ weaving its way through Colwyn Bay.

On the sports front this weekend; over in the ‘ Premiere League’ Everton welcome Chelsea, on Sunday Manchester City travel across to Middlesbrough and then on Monday evening Liverpool go down the MI to play Watford, over here in ‘ La Liga’ Real Madrid are at home to Valencia and it’s the ‘ Derby ‘ game as Barcelona go to their near neighbours Espanyol ( Mano’s team!) It’s the ‘ Russian Grand Prix ‘ in Sochi, there is Tennis on the TV, it’s the ‘ Barcelona Open ‘ and Murray & Nadal are into the semi-finals;  this afternoon we will be watching the final days racing of the ‘ National Hunt Racing’ season  on ITV from Sandown Park & Flat Racing from Haydock Park.

This evening for our supper we are having ‘ French’ trimmed ‘ Entrecote Steaks’ grilled on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Med-Rare’ then left to rest, garnished with deep-fried Onion rings, whole Green Beans and of course twice-cooked ‘ Frits’ with ‘Bearnaise ‘ sauce on the side. On Sunday evening we have decided on ‘ Medallions of Pork Fillet ‘ and then on Monday ‘ Escalope of Pork Schnitzels’ with Spaghetti a la ‘Milanaise’

After supper we will channel hop and find something to watch, tomorrow night it’s the final episode of the very gripping ‘ Line of Duty ‘ – who is ‘ Balaclava Man ‘? Watch this space.
