A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY.

TUESDAY 4^th/ FEBRUARY 2020.

I was up early again this morning to see little’ Miss Bella’ back with us for the day, she shot upstairs and joined us for a little lie in before getting another day on the go, down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’!

PS; ‘ Scruffy’ is joining us for a few hours at lunchtime!

After freshening up we called Lyn over in Melbourne on the ‘ Facebook’ voice link up, she sounds fine and we had a nice long catch up with all her news, yesterday she has a big family meeting, to finalise all the details for Jacks funeral on Friday morning, taking place at a Chapel with cremation after, Jeff, her son, is flying down form Brisbane, it’s going to be a ‘Helluva’ occasion, as Jack was very well loved by everybody that came into contact with him, over the years, both families as well as his ‘ Masonic’ family and the ‘Probus’ family, along with his extended ‘Farming Cummunity’ friends  - will make sure that he goes out in style, as a true ‘ Aussie Gentleman’  “ R.I.P. JACK “

We then had our breakfast, a treat of my favourite ' Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty' - smothered in 'HP' Brown sauce - open on brown for Brenda with sliced Baby Mushrooms, seared in the bacon juices with a knob of butter, some of which ended up in my butty- with mugs of strong tea.

Today we are waiting for a call from the ‘Insurance Garage’ in Estepona, later this afternoon, after the new wind screen arrives for the car, for the appointment to replace it.


PS; Tomorrow afternoon at 4-00 pm !

Tomorrow morning, Wednesday, I’m shooting down to the main ‘ Medical Centre’ in Sabinillas, very early, to make our appointments, for later in the morning, with our Doctor, for our review/check up’s, under the new booking system,.

On Thursday morning we are going to Estepona, first thing, as I need my hair cutting etc, with my Barber, Manuel, Brenda also needs to call into ‘Primark’ for her cosmetic essentials and then we will go along to ‘ La Casa’ for night light/candles.

As usual on Friday morning I will be out on my travels, back down to Sabinillas for our weekly shopping, in the evening we are meeting up with our friends Kevin & Caroline, on his ‘ Birthday’- as we are going along to ‘La Finca Thai Fusion ‘ for supper, it’s also their ‘ Music Night’

So far we have no plans for the weekend, watch this space.

Today has started as usual, over the past few days, very calm with a light breeze, the sky has cleared and is bright blue, so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 23 degs+ again, overnight only dropping to 13/14 degs, tomorrow a little cooler as the breeze pick up, on Thursday we could have a little bit of the ‘Wet-Stuff’ when we are our & about, over the weekend it’s staying dry and sunny, with a few patchy clouds, hovering in the mid/high ‘ teens’ – next week is now looking dry & settled, going warmer, back up to 20 degs+ at times, watch this space.

At lunchtime on our walk with both of the dogs we ended up back at ' Bar Castillo' - sat outside in the very hot sunshine, for a nice cool drink, as the World passed us by.

On the menu front we have now agreed this week’s ‘ Specials’; this evening we are having ‘ Chicken Schnitzels ‘ – flattened Chicken Breast, coated in breadcrumbs from the local Bakery, shallow fried in Vegetable Oil, until crisp & golden, served with lots of Lemon Wedges and topped with ‘ Campo’ Fried Eggs! Accompanied with finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans and triple-cooked ‘ Chips’

On Wednesday it’s going to be a’ Beef & Vegetable Casserole’ with ‘Rissole’ Potatoes, Thursday is ‘Omelettes of Choice’  - on Friday we are out for supper, then on Saturday it will be our ‘ Steak Night’ –Sunday is still TBC, with the possibility  of a ‘Risotto’ Watch this space.

This evening it’s now a replay ‘  FA Cup Football’ match,  so we will have to wait for the second part of ‘ Silent Witness’ until tomorrow evening.
