A FRESH AND WARM SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY.

TUESDAY 22^nd/ OCTOBER 2019.

I was up early again this morning to see little ‘ Miss Bella’ back with us for the day, she shot upstairs and we then all had a nice lie in, next week she is not with us on Monday/Tuesday as normal, as it’s the half-term school holidays.

After freshening up we had a quick breakfast of ‘ Weetabix’ for me and Brown toast for Brenda with mugs of hot tea, I then shot off to get the car checked, I called into our local garage and he checked the Oil & Water etc, then I carried on down to the local ‘ Repsol’ garage for Petrol & to check the tyre pressures, as well as going through the car wash!  

Brenda is now washing/shampooing her hair, I’m doing mine later! The ‘ outfits’ are ready for tomorrow morning, when we are off on our travels up to ‘ Alhaurin el Grande’ above Malaga, to meet our dear friend  ‘ Joyce Baby’ ( from Chester) – her house is in the centre of the Town, she is over for five weeks this time, so we will have a good catch-up with all the news! Watch this space.

I then prepared this evening supper “ Braised ‘Entrecote’ Beef Slices in a Rich Red Wine, Onion, Shallots & Mushroom Salsa “ – the Beef is dusted in seasoned flour and browned-off, I sweated off the sliced Onions, Shallots & Garlic, with the Baby Mushrooms, adding a dash of ‘Lea & Perrins & Tabasco’ – together with a large spoon of Tomato Frito, before adding a good ‘slug’ of Brenda’s Red Wine!  I used the ‘ Chicken Gravy ‘ as the stock and cooked-off the Salsa, pouring it over the browned off Beef slices in the ‘Casserole’ dish to go in the over this evening to finish cooking. We are having Brenda’s famous ‘ Mashed Potatoes’ along with ‘ Garden Peas a la Flamande ‘ – ( sliced Baby Glazed Carrots tossed with the Peas)

This morning we have a beautiful day down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – the sun broke through earlier and the sky is blue with white clouds over the mountains, there is a light breeze, so it’s very pleasant to be out & about, by lunchtime it’s due to reach 20 degs+ - the forecasts for tomorrow are looking OK, only one is showing a little ‘RAIN’! The rest of the week and over the weekend it’s going to be dry, warm & sunny, with a few patchy clouds hanging around, hovering in the low 20s, overnight now down to 13/14 degs, next week is looking similar, at the moment, staying settled with just the threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ hanging in the air at times, watch this space.

Yesterday evening after supper we watched the next gripping episode of the “ Dublin Murders “ on BBC TV 1 – the next episode is this evening, as the plot started to unravel, watch it find out how?!
