A CLOUDY AND STILL DRY SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.


THURSDAY 16th/ APRIL 2020.  “ STATE OF ALARM DAY 33 “ 






























After freshening up as I was on the breakfast rota, again, I had my favourite ‘ Toasted Crispy Smoked Bacon Butty’ – smothered in ‘ HP’ Brown sauce – open on brown for Brenda, with mugs of hot/strong tea, to start our day in the right direction.




Speaking of which, it’s started cloudy, grey & overcast, with a light breeze, the threat of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ is hanging in the air, by lunchtime, when it’s still due to reach 18 degs+ overnight down to 14 degs, yesterday it stayed dry and by the late afternoon it was warm & sunny, tomorrow is going to be dry, with patchy clouds, then over the weekend the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ is due to return, still hovering in the high ‘ teens’ – by Sunday reaching 21 degs+- the rain will be warm! Next week is now looking mixed & unsettled, with rain on some days, then sunshine with patchy clouds, all the time staying in the high ‘ teens’ – the following week is forecast to be, at the moment similar, watch this space.
















“ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19  PANDEMIC “




















Yesterday, late in the afternoon, as it stayed dry and then warm & sunny, I ‘Masked/Gloved’ up and shot down to the ‘ Suma’ supermarket, in front of the Police/Fire Stations and stocked up with the essentials, it’s well stocked, all the time, and not busy!
















This morning Brenda has just ‘ Masked/Gloved’ up and popped down to our local shop for the fresh fruit & vegetables etc, tomorrow she is going along to the Chemist’s (weather permitting) in ‘Calle Mar’ for some of our prescription tablets.












We are still of course at 8-00 pm each evening, going out on our front door step and as well as clapping, I’m blowing my whistle, all our neighbours wave back (?!) - meanwhile up in ‘Calle Mar’- at the top of our street, our friend ‘Lumy’ is blasting out, from their apartment above ‘ Bar Rojas’  the Spanish song “ Resitire – Resist “ !! 


PS; Which you can see and listen to on our ‘Facebook’ main page!



Our ‘ Council’ mentor ‘Maria’ has been in touch, again, this week, to check on us  - ‘ Thanks’!


















This evening for our supper we are having the rest of the ‘ Chicken & Mushroom Curry ‘ with Basmati Rice and triple-cooked ‘ Chips’! On Friday it will be a ‘ Fish Supper’ and then on Saturday our ‘ Steak Night’ – finally on Sunday it’s going to be ‘ Grilled Marinated Spanish Lamb Cutlets’ resting on a bed of my famous ‘ Boulangere’ Potatoes.
