HOT AND SUNNY MANILVA AT THE START OF THE WEEK;

MONDAY 12th/ MAY 2014.



Well here we go again in another glorious week in sunny Manilva, the forecast is warm and sunny and getting hotter – will we survive – yes! Today we are sorting ourselves out after, by our standards now, a busy weekend!
Brenda is catching up on her pottering about and I’ am up in the office sorting myself out on the WWW, reading some E-Mails and Facebook, reading the newspapers and watching some news, we have no plans for the week, so far so it will give us a chance to catch up with our reading.

Tonight for supper we are having cold Roast Lamb with a fry-up of the left-over vegetables and the rest of the ‘Boulangere’ potatoes, tomorrow night we are going to have the Calves Liver that I bought the other day with Smoked Bacon and English Pork sausages; the rest of the week’s menus we will sort out later! At our official Monday morning ‘Weigh In’ we had both lost 1 kilo last week! – We are getting there slowly, where I don’t know but we will reach it eventually!!

Last night we caught the late film “ Highwaymen” from 2004,a story of one mans rampage to avenge the killing of his wife by a serial killer using his ‘El Dorado 72’ to run down and kill women – Jim Caviezel,Rhona Mitra,Frankis Faison and Colm Caviezel as the killer with some ‘Machinery’ problems – watch it to find out what!

After supper tonight we watch the news, sport and weather up-dates before channel hopping to finding something to watch.

SUNNY AND A VERY HOT MANILVA AT THE START OF ANOTHER WEEK

 MONDAY 16th/ SEPTEMBER 2013.


This morning we are back to a very sunny and hot Manilva; the ‘Lavente’ breeze has dropped and so after breakfast we went along to the chemists for Brenda prescription and to check out our weights and my blood pressure, with printouts for the files, all OK! We stopped at our local bank in Calle Mar for some cash and then went down to the butchers for some Pork Chops for tomorrow night and Chicken wings for Tapas.

I called Tim over in Old Colwyn as there was message on Skype asking me to call, but it is not his number and we can’t find who it is? Anyway we had a good chat and caught up with all his news, it sounds like they could be looking for a holiday/gateway home down here in Southern Spain so they could become fairly close neighbors in the not too distant future!

We then set off to go to the our local garage which is at the top of the village just before the ‘Manilva Green Aparthotel’ Pedro has the car on all sorts of test’s as it is an electrical fault and he is working on it, at the same time he is giving it the once over to be ready or the ‘ITV – MOT’at the beginning of November!

While we were out we met Anna as she was out for her morning walk and coffee with Derrick, she then came back up to the house for a cool drink and chat.

So we are back into our regular routine this afternoon and have already started on some new ‘Patterson’s’ Tonight for supper we are having the rest of the Fish Pie which I have freshened up with some left over Mashed Potato; it will then be time to watch the news and weather forecast then find a film to watch, last night later on we watched “Seeking Justice ” from 2011 with Nicolas Cage,January Jones and Guy Pearce,it’s a action/thriller based in New Orleans – the original title was ‘The Hungry Rabbit Jumps’ – watch the film to fine out why?!
