A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON FRIDAY AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

FRIDAY 26^th/ JUNE 2020.   “ NEW NORMALITY – DAY 5 “

We managed another little lie in this morning, after freshening up, we had our usual toast ( diet Strawberry Jam) & tea, to set us up for the day ahead, we caught the ‘Lockdown Part’ show on “Castle Radio FM 89.2 & Online on the WWW” – I guessed the answer to the ‘ Mystery Voice ‘ quiz this morning, and got it correct, it was horror film actor ‘ Christopher Lee ‘ – so this week I’m 5/5!

After breakfast Brenda had to pop back to the Chemists in ‘ Calle Mar’- ‘ masked/gloved’ up - for some of her prescription tablets which were not in stock yesterday! She also dropped into the local shop at the bottom of our street for the fresh vegetables & fruit, we are leaving the fresh flowers/wall plants until Monday mornings local Market on the Plaza Pozo del Rey’ in the centre of the village.

At lunchtime our friend Andy is calling back in as the ‘ IPTV’ system has gone off again?! We will re-check all the settings, turn everything off and then re-set all the contacts, before re-entering all the details, codes, passwords & user details, again, watch this space!

PS; All back online, for now, 'Fingers Crossed ' Watch this space.

After a very hot night and sticky night ( 21 degs+) – the sun was out first thing this morning and the sky is cloudless and bright blue, with just a slight breeze, so by lunchtime it’s due to reach 30 degs+ - overnight down to 19 degs+ - tomorrow going even hotter, in the low 30s, Sunday is looking a little cooler as the breeze picks up, next week, at the start of July, is going to be a very ‘ Hot-One’ – with very hot sunshine all week, with light breezes, hovering in the low/mid 30s, at times up to 34 degs+! The following week is also looking very hot & sunny. Watch this space.
