A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND.


FRIDAY 19th/ JULY 2019.
































We were both up very early this morning and after a quick freshen up we shot off on our travels down to Sabinillas for the weekly shopping, we first had toast & tea in ‘ItsZabar’ before ‘Mercadona opened, at this time of the year it’s very busy, with ten times the customers, the traffic and parking is the same, it’s ‘ Mad’ on all the roads, very dangerous with lots of crashes!

We then called into the ‘ English Bookshop’ for the local newspapers  and post a birthday card, surprisingly the cards are arriving very quick at the moment! We then shot along to the far end of the promenade to the local market for some fresh flowers and wall plants, before stopping at ‘ Super Sol’ on the way back up the hill, for our ‘ English ‘  essentials, then unloading back at the house.


This afternoon ‘ Scruffy’ is back with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ for the last time this week, he will be back for the five afternoons next week, as Adrian continues his radiotherapy treatment over in Malaga, on Monday/Tuesday morning little ‘ Miss Bella’ is with us again, ‘Chispa’ will be crashing in all the time to see all her friends.











As we set off it was a little cool & fresh, but the sun soon came out and by the time we got home it was very hot & sunny, with just a few patchy clouds hanging around, the breeze is very slight and only cooling in the shade, by lunchtime it will be 28 degs+ - tomorrow and Sunday the same, next week is now looking very hot & sunny, by Wednesday up to 30 degs+ then going hotter, by next weekend, watch this space.











Over in Liverpool today it’s the 108th  anniversary of the “ Royal Liver Building “ 















Today at the “ Tour de France “ it’s the individual ‘Time Trial’ around Pau, over 28 kms, see the hilly route map below;

















At lunchtime we popped along to ' Bar Castillo' on the shady side of 'Calle Mar' and sat outside for a nice cool drink and a couple of light 'Tapas'



For our supper this evening we are having ‘Goujon’s of Hake Fillet’ –coated in local breadcrumbs from the Bakery, shallow-fried in Vegetable Oil, until crisp & golden all over, accompanied with homemade ‘Tartar’ sauce, with Mushy Green Peas and triple-cooked ‘Chips’












After supper we will settle down to watch the TV after channel hopping to find something to watch.


























Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
