A VERY ' CRISP' & FRESH' SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.


SUNDAY 29th/ DECEMBER 2019.
































We had yet another nice lie in this morning, after ‘Pucci’ woke us very early, to go out, after freshening up I had my favourite ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty ‘ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda, with her favourite sliced Baby Mushrooms sautéed in the bacon juices with a knob of butter, some of which made it into my Butty!  Mugs of hot/strong tea helped to wash them down.




The morning has started a little grey & overcast, like yesterday, the sun is attempting to break through, the clouds are starting to clear away as there is a stiff breeze, so by lunchtime it’s due to only reach 16 degs+ down to 11/12 degs during the night, next week is now looking a little unsettled as the new ‘Atlantic’ front comes in bringing with it some of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ towards the end of the week, over the ‘New Year 2020’ celebrations, as we move into the next decade, we could have some sunshine ,while still being partly cloudy, hovering in the mid ‘ teens’ Watch this space.













At lunchtime, in front of the Town Hall the annual charity ‘San Silvestre Race’ starts over the short 1.3 kms route around the village, entry is by donations of non-perishable goods, they are putting up the ‘ starts gates’ etc at the moment, later in the ‘Plaza de la Vendemia’ there are Bouncy Castles with ‘ Fake Snow ‘ – together with various ‘ happenings’ then at 4-00 pm there is band on one of the stages, as the dancing, singing and drinking starts!















See above. later, for more pictures! 




For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Grilled Rump Steaks’ – flattened and cooked ‘ A La Minute’ – topped with ‘ Campo’ Fried Eggs, garnished with seared Baby Mushrooms and served with whole Baby ‘ French’ Green Beans and triple-cooked ‘ Frits’ No forgetting the ‘Dijon Mustard’ on the side.














Later this afternoon after the festivities have finished we will settle down and relax, taking things easy and keeping warm, this evening as usual channel hopping to find something to watch.
