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

SATURDAY 2^nd/ MARCH 2019.

We had a nice, long, lie in this morning after a week of early starts, we then slowly freshened up and had our regular Saturday morning breakfast of Brenda’s famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast, Boiled with Toast fingers for her, with mugs of strong/hot ‘PG’ Tips Tea.

This morning has started a little cooler, as overnight the breeze picked up, the sun is now breaking through and sky is clearing, by lunchtime it’s still due to reach 20 degs+  - but still ‘ Fresh’ in the shade, overnight down to 10 degs and then colder again later next week,  tomorrow it’s going to be the same and a little warmer, next week has started to change as the breeze picks up to a stiff wind, bringing in with it a cold ‘Atlantic’ front by next Wednesday, back down to 15 degs with the threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’ back in the air, it’s then going to settle down again and by the following weekend it will be dry & sunny, hovering in the mid ‘teens’ - watch this space.

Yesterday up in Northern France our dear friends and old customers, Terry & Alma, were out in Avranches, celebrating their ‘ 60th Wedding Anniversary’ – “ Feliz Aniversario de Bodas “

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks ‘ cooked on a very hot griddle-plate ‘ Med-Rare’ – Pink no Blood, then left to rest, garnished with Seared Asparagus Spears & Button Mushrooms with ‘Deep-Fried Onion Rings’ in ‘Cruzcampo’ Beer Batter! Served with Dijon French Mustard & Bearnasie Sauce, and accompanied with Whole French Baby Green Beans and of course twice-cooked ‘ Frits’

On the sports front this weekend; over in the ‘ Premier League’ Manchester City have the long journey down to play Bournemouth, then tomorrow it’s the ‘ Derby Game ‘ as Everton welcome Liverpool, just a very short journey of 1 mile across Stanley Park.

See below;

Meanwhile over here in ‘ La Liga’ it’s another ‘ Derby Game’ as Real Madrid welcome Barcelona, for the second time this week! There is no ‘ Guinness Six Nations Rugby Union’ this weekend as all the teams recuperate after last weekend’s ‘ Bashing’! The ‘National Hunt Jump Racing’ racing today comes from Doncaster, Newbury & Kelso, then the week after next it’s the ‘ Cheltenham Festival’

Last night after supper we settled down to watch an episode of the excellent ‘Vera’ – sadly the ‘ IPTV’ system crashed near the end, so we missed  ‘who did it’?! This evening we will settle down to watch the next episode of the Icelandic (with sub-titles) thriller “ Trapped “ – fingers crossed!

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
