A NOW VERY ' CRISP' & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY.


SATURDAY 10th/ NOVEMBER 2018.






























We had a nice lie in this morning as the village is very quiet, especially as there is no traffic along ‘Calle Mar and down our street, after freshening up Brenda was on breakfast duty, so we had her famous ‘ Campo Poached Eggs on Toast’ - boiled with Toast fingers for her, with mugs of strong tea, to set us up for the day ahead.

Yesterday evening Daniela picked up little princess ‘ Reina’ from ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ – her last visit with us for a while, sadly, as we love ‘Reina’ and over the past few years she has been with us every week and other times, it was five days a week to start, then 3/4 –down to 1 or 2 lately, after the folks moved into their new grand villa, with Daniela’s parents. ‘The end of an era’ She will be back with us for ‘ High-Days & Holidays’ in the future, watch this space.

This morning has started a little grey & overcast, the sun is trying to break through the patchy clouds, by lunchtime, hopefully it will reach 18/19 degs+ - tomorrow it’s more of the same, going a little warmer, 21 degs+ ! Next week is still looking mixed, with some of the ‘wet-stuff’ at times, and as the breeze gets up going a little cooler, partly cloudy at times also, the overnight temperatures are hovering on the 13/14 degs mark, not bad for the time of the year, next weekend it’s going to rather wet with light to moderate rain, watch this space.


See the sunrise this morning over the beach down in Sabinillas.












This weekend on the sports front we have an ‘ Helluva’ extravaganza, today and on Sunday!  In the ‘Premier League’ tomorrow Liverpool welcome Fulham, Everton go down to Chelsea and the ‘ Match of the Day’ is the derby game as Manchester City welcome Manchester Utd, over here in ‘La Liga’ also on Sunday, Barcelona welcome Real Betis and Real Madrid travel to play Celta Vigo.

It’s the ‘ Brazilian Grand Prix’ tomorrow with qualifying today, Lewis Hamilton is already the ‘ World Champion’!

The ‘ National Hunt Racing’ later, is coming from Wincanton, Doncaster & Aintree!

Meanwhile at the ‘ Home Rugby Union Internationals ‘ today, Ireland welcome Argentina, Wales play Australia and at the home of Rugby, Twickenham, England welcome the ‘ All Blacks ‘ – New Zealand!




For our supper this evening we are having ‘Tournados Rossini’ – the Fillet steaks are wrapped in Smoked Bacon, then seared on the very hot griddle plate, finished in a very hot oven – ‘Med-Rare’ – garnished with seared Asparagus Spears & Button Mushrooms. I place them on a toasted ‘ Crute’  surrounded with a pool of ‘Red Wine Jus’ and top them with a ‘Quenelle’ of local Iberian Pate!  Accompanied with whole ‘ French’ Green Beans & twice-cooked ‘Frits’


Tomorrow I’m making my famous version of the old classic “ Lancashire Hotpot “ – served with Pickled Beetroot and Cabbage with Alcelgas. ‘Comfort Food’ to die for!!




After supper this evening we will channel hop to find something to watch.
