A NOW WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY.


SATURDAY 30th/ MAY 2020.    “ STATE OF ALARM – DAY 77 “




































We overslept this morning, it was only the sound of the ‘ Council’ Cleaning Department – coming down our street spraying all the doors & windows etc – with the sanitizing equipment that brought us back into the land of the living!  

















After showering and freshening up, as Brenda was on the breakfast rota, as usual, on a Saturday morning, it was time for her perfect ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast, with mugs of hot/strong Tea, at the start of another weekend in ‘ LOCKDOWN’

















This morning the sun has just broken through and the clouds are slowly clearing, as there is still a stiff breeze, the blue sky is now showing, so by lunchtime it’s forecast to only reach 23/24 degs+ - overnight down to 18/19 degs+ - tomorrow on the forecasts it’s even showing some of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’?! 










Next week, as we enter June, we are in for a warmer/hotter time, as the breeze drops, with lots of sunshine, with just a few patchy clouds hanging around at times, hovering in the mid/high 20s, watch this space.
















Today Sandra & Bill are heading up to Hope Bay for a long weekend, working on the new decking and garden, around the trailer, as usual in Canada, the fine weather comes very quickly, one day cool, the next hot, at the moment they are in the ‘ Green’ mode, Sandra’s favourite, as you can see, below, in her garden/back yard of their house in Everett, Ontario, Canada.  




















“ CORANVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “






















No news to update today; See below some of the ‘ Phase 2’ rules, sorry in Spanish, as it would not translate in my system, which comes into law this Monday 1st June!

















For our supper this evening we are having a slice of ‘Spanish Beef’ – ‘Flashed-Cooked’ on a very hot griddle plate ‘ Rare ‘ – then left to rest – carved into fingers ‘ French’ style, garnished with seared Asparagus Spears & Button Mushrooms, accompanied with the classic ‘Bearnaise’ sauce & Dijon Mustard, served with whole baby ‘ French’ Green Beans and of course triple-cooked ‘ Frits’













On Sunday we are roasting; a ‘Spanish Leg of Lamb ‘ – studded with Garlic & Rosemary,  resting on a bed of my special and now famous ‘ Boulangere’ Potatoes, with Roast Potatoes and a large selection of fresh/local Vegetables, not forgetting my ‘ Deep Pan Gravy ‘!
