A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 30^th/ APRIL 2020.  “ STATE OF ALARM- DAY 47 “

After freshening up we had our usual toast & tea, at the start of another day in ‘LOCKDOWN’  I then ‘Masked/Gloved’ up and went down to the ‘Suma’ supermarket in front of the Police/Fire Stations, first calling into the underground car park to turn the car over, to stock up with some essentials, yesterday afternoon Brenda went down, after getting  ‘Masked/Gloved’ up to have quiet shop, it also gives us a nice walk in the warm sunshine at the same time!

Speaking of which, this morning started with the sun out early, the sky cloudless and blue, with a light breeze, at the moment it’s a little overcast, with patchy clouds, but by lunchtime it’s still forecast to reach 23/24 degs+ - overnight down to 13 degs+  - tomorrow and over the weekend, at the start of May, it’s staying the same, warm & sunny, with lots of sunshine, with a light breeze, so it will be hovering in the mid 20s, next week, on Monday/Tuesday up to 27degs+ - overnight only down to 16/17 degs+! Towards the end of next week we could have some of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’ returning as the breeze picks up, but still staying warm, hovering in the mid 20s, watch this space.

“ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “  

As usual the ‘ Council’ Cleaning Department are out & about washing down the streets, then sanitizing,  yesterday they came down our street, spraying all the doors & windows, at the same time, then the humidifier goes along ‘Calle Mar’ and all the main streets.

We are now waiting to see when the ‘National Coalition Government ‘ up in Madrid, starts to change the ‘ Lockdown’ Rules, at the start of May, as suggested, over here in Spain, after being in the most severe restrictions in Europe, for over 7 weeks, watch this space.

Off course the ‘Policia Local, Guardia Civil & the Spanish Foreign Legion’ are out & about all the time, checking the cars, controlling the supermarkets etc, as well as stopping people in the streets.

This evening for our supper we are having the rest of the ‘ Beef & Vegetable Casserole’ with the left-over Vegetables & Mashed Potato, we are looking forward to tomorrow night when it’s going to be our ‘ Fish N ‘Chip ‘ supper – ‘ Goujons of Hake Fillet ‘ in a ‘ Tempura Cruzcampo Beer Batter’ with ‘ Batchelors Mushy Peas ‘( thanks to Leah!) with triple-cooked ‘ Chips’! Saturday will be our regular ‘ Steak Night’ and then on Sunday we are having ‘ Medallions of Pork Fillet’ with a creamy ‘ Green Peppercorn’ salsa.

Every day we are off course watching the TV, following all the ‘Quiz Shows’ – ‘Chef/Food’ programmes, ‘Documentaries’ ’ Series’ as well as channel hopping to find films etc, to watch.
