A STILL VERY 'WINDY AND CLOUDY SUNNY MANILVA ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY 11^th/ JUNE 2020.   “ STATE OF ALARM – DAY 89 “

After freshening up we had our regular light breakfast of fresh fruit ( sliced Banana) toast & tea, I then shot off, ‘ masked/gloved ‘ up, down to the underground car park to ‘ turn-over’ the car, before going across to the ‘ Suma’ supermarket, where Brenda joined me, for our weekly shopping/stock up for the essentials, in the larder and wine & spirit cupboard!

After dropping off the bags at the house I then went along to the local Bank in ‘ Calle Mar’ for some cash from the machine.

Before we went out we were listening to, as usual, the ‘ Lockdown Party' show on ‘ Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW’ as this morning’s ‘ Mystery Voice’ quiz came on, I got it straight away, it was the actor John Malkovich, so I’m 4 out of 4 this week!

See below;

This morning there is a very stiff breeze, blowing up from the Mediterranean, in fact there is a ‘ Yellow Alert’ storm warming out at sea, it’s still very cloudy, despite the wind, and a little overcast, so by lunchtime it’s forecast to only reach 22/23 degs+ today – overnight down to 16/17 degs+ - rather cool for the time of the year. Tomorrow we could even have some of the ‘ Wet-Stuff’!

Over the weekend, as the breeze drops, it’s going to be a little warmer, with sunshine, next week is now looking hot & sunny, back to normal for the time of the year, going warmer each day, as the breezes drop, hovering in the high ‘ Teens’ - by next weekend, when we will be out & about, for Brenda’s birthday, it’s now forecast to reach 30 degs+! Watch this space.

Yesterday evening on our regular walk ‘ Masked’ up only now, we met out friend Jan, out with her daughter, Jo  and with her dog ‘ Dixie’ – Brian is still back in the UK – as he was caught in the ‘ Lockdown’ three months ago and is not able to get back until sometime in July, hopefully!

We then stooped at ‘Bar Rojas Sol Vida’ as Mano, Anna & Carlos were sat outside, again, in the shade, they had a ‘Pizza’ which was very nice, the genuine article, made with ‘ Love’ – Italian style! We joined them for a nice cool drink (large) as the ‘World’ passed us by.

Tomorrow morning we are going along to ‘Bar Castillo’ as Juan is due to re-open, with his new ‘ Breakfast ‘ menu  ‘ Campo’ Fried or Scrambled Eggs with Bacon & ‘ Frits’! Watch this space.

“ CORANAVIRUS UPDATE – COVID 19 PANDEMIC “

All quiet and nothing to report or update, so far today.

For our supper this evening we are having ‘ Omelette’s of Choice’ – ‘Cheese for Brenda ( grated Mature Cheddar & Parmesan) – for me ‘ Paysanne’ style ( small diced Potato, Shallots, Smoke Bacon etc)  - made with three ‘ Campo’ Eggs, seasoned & beaten, then cooked in the ‘ Omelette Pan ‘ with a very small drop of Vegetable Oil and a knob of Butter, left to settle, before shaking & stirring, with a large fork, to the side, the fillings then added, the edges brought over, then the ‘Omelette’  is turned over onto a warm plate, finally ‘shaped’ with kitchen paper! Served with finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans and Baked Potato.
