A STILL VERY WARM BUT ' CLAMMY' SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY 17^th/ JULY 2019.

We managed another nice lie in this morning, before freshening up, for our breakfast is was our usual fresh fruit(  chilled Nectarines) toast & tea, I was listening to the ‘ Andrew Charles Breakfast Show’ on “ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW” as this week’s ‘Music Quiz’ came on, it was a 9 second  forwards track, I got it after he gave some clues, it was the American band “ Greyhound “ with ‘ Black & White’ – so I’m in the draw on Friday.

This afternoon ‘ Scruffy’ will be back with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ for a few hours, ‘ Chispa’ in & out all the time, as usual to see all her friends and us!

After another very hot & clammy night, this morning has started a little grey & overcast and partly cloudy, but still very warm, there is a light breeze, so by lunchtime it will reach 29 degs+ as the sky clears, tomorrow it’s up to 31 degs+ then over the weekend hovering in the high 20s, overnight down to 20/21 degs, next week is still going to be a ‘ Hot-One’ staying in low 30s/high 20s, with a light breeze, partly cloudy at times, as there will be only a slight breeze, watch this space.

On the sports front today; it’s ‘ Stage 11 ‘ of the “ Tour de France “ – which goes from Albi into Toulouse, over a fairly flat 167 kms, later in the week it’s a ‘Time Trial’ around Pau, then on Saturday the dreaded/famous, over 19 kms long, climb up to the finish of the “ Tourmalet”!

For our supper this evening we are having the old classic ‘ Steak Sandwiches ‘ – the thin sliced ‘Entrecote of Beef’ seasoned and smeared with Dijon Mustard, then ‘ flash’ cooked on a very hot griddle-plate, then placed on the toasted bread, cut into triangles! Garnished with a little salad and served with Baskets of triple-cooked ‘ Stringfellows’!

Tonight we will be watching the excellent documentary on the “ Ritz Hotel “ in London, on the other side at the same time it’s the start of “ Remarkable Places to Eat “ – which will catch later on the ‘BBC I-Player’!

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
