A VERY, VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 18^th/ AUGUST 2019.  “ GRAN FIESTA DEL AGUA “

We all managed a nice lie in this morning, ‘ Chico’ goes to bed on the marble floor under our bed and sleeps all night, after freshening up Brenda took him for his first walk of the day, ’Pucci’ is now arriving tomorrow lunchtime, for his weeks holiday, little ‘ Miss Bella’ is with us earlier on Monday morning and again on Tuesday, as usual ‘ Chispa’ is in & out all the time.

For our breakfast I was treated to Brenda’s famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast – Scrambled for Brenda, with mugs of hot/strong Tea, as yesterday I was out & about on my travels. Brenda is pottering and I have retired upstairs to the office/studio to go on the ‘WWW’ and then type/post today’s Blog.

We are in for a ‘ Hot-One’ today, the sun was out early and there is just a slight breeze, the sky is bright blue, so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 34 degs+ . tomorrow, at the start of next week, is looking the same, then on Tuesday it’s dropping a little, down to 32 degs+ - then as the breeze stiffens it’s going down to the mid/high 20s for the rest of the week, with even the possibility of some of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ on Wednesday/Thursday, on one of the forecasts, still overnight hovering on the 20 degs+ mark, watch this space.

Yesterday over in Liverpool another cruise liner was berthed at the Pier Head, on a sunny day, sadly the name of it can’t be seen, see below!

                                                                                           Including a ' Birds Eye View ' !

Just a quick update on the sports results from yesterday; England lost to Wales 13-6 down in Cardiff, Real Madrid won 1-3 in their first ‘La Liga’ game, over in the UK – Everton won 1-0 at home, Liverpool won 1-2 playing away and Manchester City drew at home 2-2 and were denied a winning goal, in the last few minutes ( by Var!)

This evening along in ‘ Calle Mar’  down the steep street next to ‘ Bar Castillo’ there is a 50 metre water slide, ( no sign off yet ?!)  as well as other water games along the main street, for the “ Gran Fiesta Del Agua – Water Day “  here in sunny Manilva. Watch this space.

See above all the ' Water Bouncy Castles ' along Calle Mar ! 

For our supper this evening we are having “ Chicken Empanadas “ (Mercadona ) – flattened ‘ Chicken Breast ‘ coated in savoury breadcrumbs, then shallow fried in Vegetable Oil, until crisp & golden ( Lots of Lemon Wedges)  - served on a pool of Tomato sauce, accompanied  with some finely sliced ‘French’ Green Beans and Baby New Potatoes in their skins.

After supper we will settle down to watch the next gripping episode of “ Poldark’ as he plans & plots to get his best friend out of prison, in London, meanwhile down in Cornwall the peasants are revolting!!

Thoughts for the Day;  See above.
