A VERY,VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY.

TUESDAY 30^th/ JULY 2019.

We were both up early this morning and after a quick freshen up we grabbed a fresh fruit, toast and tea before, little ‘ Miss Bella & Nacho’ arrived for the day, at the same time, with us in ‘ Doggy World Heaven ‘ ‘Chispa’ has just called in to see her new friends, so we have had a ‘mad’ house! This afternoon ‘ Scruffy’ is back with us for a few hours, this coming Friday/Saturday little princess ‘Reina’ us also here, for a sleep-over, on Thursday evening ‘ Chico’ arrives for his nearly three week holiday!

Watch this space.

Yesterday the ‘IPTV’ system would not connect, I tried all the tricks to re-load, with no luck, so this evening Lee is calling in to help re-set the system, hopefully!

Last night we ended up back on the ‘Spanish’ TV system, I found on ‘TVE2’ a very good film, in English, with a little Spanish commentary, “ Maigret Sets a Trap “ with Rowan Atkinson in the title role( Surprise!) - he really gets into the skin of Maigret, with a recreation of Paris back in the 50s, as the famous fictional detective is tracking and setting a ‘trap’ for the serial killer of several women, with no relationship between them except the color of their hair. With an excellent support cast of, Lee Staar, Shaun Digwell, Colin Mace and including Fiona Shaw ( the third woman in Killing Eve) as a possessive mother, along with a possessive wife of the deranged killer( Rebecca Night)  Maigret’s wife is played by the excellent Lucy Cohu. Catch it if you can!

This morning the breeze is very light, the sun was out early and the sky is nearly clear, with just a few patchy clouds, so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 32 degs+! Over the next few days back down to the high 20s, then from Saturday back up to 33 degs+ as well on Sunday, next week is also looking very hot & sunny, mainly in the low 30s! Watch this space.

This afternoon I have to go down to the main ‘ Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas for my emergency appointment with our Doctor, Natalia, for a review/check up with my ‘Blood/Glucose & Insulin’ readings/injections, the main problem will be the ‘heat’ and finding somewhere to park, at this time of the year!

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Escalope’s of Chicken Breast’ – seasoned and ‘flash’ cooked on a very hot griddle-plate, with a squeeze of Lemon Juice, then finished with a knob of Butter and a dash of Balsamic Vinegar, with seared & diced Button Mushrooms, French Green Beans and more Baby New Potatoes in their skins, with a sauceboat of Tomato sauce on the side. Wednesday menu is still TBC, then on Thursday we have given the staff the night off, no doubt they will be hitting the town (village) for a nice cold drink and a light ‘ Tapas’ supper! Watch this space.

Later this evening we will hopefully be back on the ‘IPTV’ system catching up with the programmes that we have missed!
