Job furlough extension talks Tighter restrictions GOVERNMENT, business leaders and trade union representatives are set to sit down next month to talk about a new extension to Spain’s ERTE job furlough scheme, according to Spanish media. The press reports that Employment and Social Security ministers Yolanda Diaz and Jose Luis Escriva will meet with the CEOE Spanish Confederation of Business Organisations head Antonio Garamendi and union members in Mallorca capital Palma on September 4 to discuss the possibility of extending the scheme. As it stands, the temporary aid financial scheme to cover the lost earnings of employees whose job contracts have been temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 crisis is due to end on September 30. Garamendi expressed the view in a recent interview with the El Pais newspaper that the furlough scheme should run until at least December. “What they have to say is how much money there is and until when it will reach, because it is already negotiated,” the CEOE
NO FINAL DATE: “The pandemic is indefinite; right now we don’t know when it’s going to end,” the UGT union leader pointed out. president affirmed. UGT union secretary general Pepe Alvarez has also indicated that even if everyone is not exactly on the same page on the issue, then there is the “beginning of an agreement.” Alvarez told La Sexta Spanish TVE, Mallorca has been chosen as the meeting venue precisely because its tourist sector has been so severely hit by the pandemic situation and because so many of the island’s workers have been furloughed. He described an extension as “absolutely essential” for the Spanish economy and its companies, and said there should be no
end date. “The pandemic is indefinite; right now we don’t know when it’s going to end,” he commented. He also wants the conversations to look at the issue of how much furloughed employees receive, making it clear one of the necessary conditions for reaching an agreement as far as the UGT is concerned is keeping the current amounts in place. The last extension to the ERTE agreed at the end of June followed a series of meetings and some tough negotiations. According to the UGT leader there are currently 700,000 workers on ERTEs.
THE Balearic government announced tighter restrictions aimed at containing a surge in Covid-19 on the holiday islands. Beaches and municipal parks are to close from 10pm at night, smoking on the street and social gatherings of more than 10 people are banned, and bar and restaurant maximum capacity is reduced to 50 per cent. The new measures set to come into force this Friday August 28 following publication in the BOIB Balearic Island Official Bulletin, also include making it compulsory to wear a face mask in most workplaces and on seafront promenades, and prohibit eating or drinking at cultural or sports events or on public transport. All brothels must close. The archipelago’s administration will also look at selective lockdowns in areas of Palma and other parts of Mallorca to deal
with outbreaks. Wednesday’s announcement on greater controls came two days after the regional committee for the management of infectious diseases spokesman admitted the Balearics are experiencing what could be described as a ‘second wave’ of infections. Regional President Francina Armengol warned the “progression of the illness is high and worrying.” The situation is not as bad as in March, she added, but made it clear she believed there was an issue in terms of getting the message across to some sections of society that the virus has not gone away and the risk of infection remains. She particularly pointed to get-togethers of family and friends, and emphasised a need “to be responsible, now more than ever.”

No ID, no busking Race BUSKERS and street performers in Palma will need to display an ID card showing authorisation from the city council from September onwards. Palma Citizen Participation councillor Alberto Jarabo announced this and other modifications to the decree regulating busking and performing on the city streets. The changes include a maximum limit of 20 watt amplifiers, which must only be used in authorised areas so as not to bother residents. In addition, there can only be one percussionist per group, with performances limited to no more than half an hour. Artists and human statues will not be able to play music.

The rest of Palma is divided into two zones for the purposes of busking and street performances. In the Playa de Palma and Sant Jordi, musicians will be allowed to play from 11am to 2.40pm and from 5-11.40pm. Artists and human statues will be able to do their thing from 10am all
the way through to 11.40pm. The city centre is considered residential. Therefore amplifiers are banned, although performances are again allowed from 11am to 2.40pm and from 511.40pm at authorised locations. In the Plaza Major playing music is prohibited, but circus acts are allowed from 12-2pm and
then from 6-11.30pm. Jarabo said the aim of the modifications is to “simplify” the application of the decree. He described street performances as “a cultural expression of our city,” but stressed that they have to be regulated. It must be something which “adds value to Palma and respects coexistence with residents,” the councillor remarked. In regard to the authorisations Jarabo said the council would give preference to performers who are residents and will set a quota for those who go the city for the summer months only. The cost of the ID card with be at least €48 a year or €4 per square metre a month. The councillor said the city authority did not expect to issue more than 100 of the authorisations.

CONCERNS over the pandemic have led to the cancellation of this year’s Zafiro Palma Marathon set to have taken place in the autumn. “Due to the current situation and given the uncertain future worldwide, the organisation and Palma City Council have jointly agreed that for safety and responsibility reasons that the event scheduled for October 11 2020 will not be held,” said an official notification posted on the event’s Facebook page. It explained that the organisation and all its collaborators had for months been planning and putting into place health measures and social distancing for the runners and to control the public in the start and finish areas. But they had ultimately reached the conclusion that “it is impossible to guarantee these measures throughout the race circuit due to its size.” The statement continues, “In the current circumstances it is not possible to offer a safe event for participants, companions, collaborators, citizens and public control in an open space in a city like Palma. “It is for this reason, and with great regret after a huge effort, that we are forced to cancel the 2020 edition of the Zafiro Palma Marathon.”

In a statement posted on social media, the local authority said hundreds of people have been gathering at the location every evening for the last month or so, “many of them not complying with the required safety measures to protect us from Covid-19, with anti-social attitudes which put themselves and others at risk. “The measures to limit the influx have not been

As a consequence, the administration explained, it decided, with the agreement of the owner of Son Marroig and local bar and restaurant managers, “to put in place severe restrictions to guar-

closed from 6.30pm to 10pm with police on duty there to stop drivers going in. The exception is people with prior reservations at the restaurant, bar or for Son Marroig concerts or events. The measures will remain in place until September 15. In the meantime, Deia Council has called on the public to behave responsibly.

Posting a video of officers from both countries out and about on patrol in Playa de Palma, the National Police explained the Germans were there to provide support to foreigners on holiday on the island in their own language. The collaboration comes under the ‘European Police Station’ initiative first launched in 2008 with France on the basis of two EU Council decisions allowing member-states who have signed up to send officers to the territory of other signatory countries. The officers wear the uniforms of their own forces and carry their usual regulation arms. This is the first year the Spanish National Police have received officers from a German force, which in this case was that of the North Rhine-Westphalia.

THE Mallorca SFM public rail company bill for removing graffiti from its trains has added up to just short of €50,000 so far this year. The Balearic government said the figure clearly illustrates the seriousness of the problem, even though there has been less graffiti on the trains this year than last. Between the beginning of 2020 and now, 22 lots of graffiti have appeared on SFM trains, while over the course of 2019 there were 40. The cost of getting rid of graffiti on the trains last year was nearly €160,000. The Balearic government pointed out those responsible for causing the graffiti created other expenses as well

GRAFFITI BILL
SERIOUS PROBLEM: The Balearic government said those responsible for the graffiti created a whole series of costs for the rail company. from damage to infrastructure like fencing, security grilles, doors, walls, video circuits and sensors. On top of that, the administration said, “one has to add the environmental costs of eliminating paint from the carriages, the costs of legal actions, and the alterations and changes to service which passengers have to put up with due to
the fact that, at times, the paint temporarily leaves some units unusable.” To deal with the matter the SFM has this year reinforced the number of security personnel at its facilities and now has a canine unit for night security at its Son Rutlan site. It has also increased locks at all offices and added to the number of security cameras.

VOX POP No smoke without fire? FROM Monday, August 17, following Galicia and the Canary Islands example, the Spanish Ministry of Health banned smoking in the street and public spaces throughout Spain where smokers cannot guarantee a distance of two metres from others. This is one of the new restrictions which came into force along with others on nightlife opening times and monitoring capacity. The smoking ban applies to all outdoor public spaces, from streets to bar terraces when a minimum distance of two metres cannot be respected. This also applies to devices such as vapes, e-cigarettes and hookas. Also, if somebody is caught smoking in a bar or establishment it is not just them who can receive a penalty, both the owner and the smoker can be fined for anything from €100 to €3,000 for breaking the restrictions. However, if the bar reports that a customer refuses to stop smoking when asked, only the customer will be fined. EWN took to the streets to ask the public and local bar and restaurant owners
how the restrictions have affected them. We were surprised to discover that the general public finds it more of a hindrance than the establishment owners who seemed to have faith in their customer’s ability to make the right decision. • Tim Orram an expat who lives in Benalmadena and is originally from Bristol said, “It’s bulls**t, I think it’s a scam. I go to bars and still see people smoking there without ‘safely’ distancing. Also, if you ask the police the specifics of the law they just shrug because they are just as confused about it as we are.”
• Kate Kelly an expat who lives in Torreblanca said “The smoking ban is so confusing. Which is such a shame as I have felt that the Spanish approach to the Coronavirus
has been well organised and communicated so far. I vape and am really unclear as to when and where I can do that now. It has made us a bit wary as to going out at night and so we have been mostly staying on our balcony.”
• Maria Jose of Los Angeles bar in Albir on the Costa Blanca is aware of the problems other bars, restaurants and cafes are experiencing, but has not had any real issues herself. “It has not really been a problem for us as we have a lot of outdoor space and we are located on the street, so it is quite easy for smokers to social distance.” She went on to say that, “Our customers have all been very responsible when it comes to hand cleaning, wearing masks, and now keeping a distance when smoking.”
• Elliott Wright, owner of popular restaurant Olivia’s in La Cala de Mijas on the Costa del Sol, has not seen the smoking ban as such a big issue and praised his customers, saying “Under the circumstances, people have understood that smoking is an issue and have politely smoked outside or in a smoke zone without issues.”
Dog on the edge A RUNAWAY dog which ended up stuck on a cliff edge in Porto Cristo ended up safe and sound thanks to the efforts of firefighters to rescue it. According to reports the setter ended up in the predicament after escaping from its home on Thursday morning. When the owners realised what had

What you need to know about Spanish residence and Brexit UK nationals who want to live in Spain and access healthcare and other benefits from 2021 must secure Spanish residence before the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December 2020. Those who successfully applied for Spanish residence before July 2020 received the Certificado de Registro de Ciudadano de la Unión – widely known as the ‘green card’. Since 6 July 2020, the biometric foreigners' ID card, Tarjeta de Identidad del Extranjero (TIE) is issued instead. Either of these documents demonstrates legal residence in Spain, enabling you and your direct family to live here and enjoy uninterrupted citizens’ rights post-Brexit. Holders of a green card can choose to exchange it for the new TIE – while this is not obligatory, the new format (ID card with photograph) could be more practical and explicitly states your access to citizens’
movement and benefits in Spain. For your green card/TIE to remain valid, you must continue meeting the conditions of Spanish residence. This includes spending at least 183 days a year here (for each of the first five years) and registering as a tax resident where applicable.

rights under the Withdrawal Agreement. If you already hold a permanent residence document, you can exchange it for a TIE for free but, again, this is not mandatory. Maintaining your residence – and rights – in Spain It is crucial to understand that obtaining a residence document in itself is not enough to guarantee ongoing freedom of
If you fail to meet these criteria – for example by spending more than six months outside Spain (or five consecutive years for permanent residents) – it is likely that you will forfeit Spanish residence and be treated as other non-EU/EEA (‘third country’) nationals. This means you may have to apply for a short-term visa to visit Spain and be limited to staying up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Spain has not yet established the immigration rules that will apply to non-resident UK citizens in the future, so we can’t say for sure how things will work. However, anyone arriving from 2021 can expect to have restricted movement in
Spain and be subject to more strict requirements than today. It is likely, for example, that non-Spanish residents with a holiday home in Spain, for example, may only be permitted to spend a limited time there each year without a visa/permit. Next steps to lock in guaranteed rights for Spain Essentially, if you want to secure uninterrupted freedom of movement and associated rights in Spain from 1 January 2021, you need to: • hold current proof of residence (green card, TIE or other residence document) before 31 December; and • continue to meet the conditions of Spanish residence, such as spending 183 days a year in Spain. If you are not yet registered here but intend to become Spanish resident, make an appointment to obtain the new TIE as soon as possible. Although the whole process can take some months, once your application is submitted, you
will receive a receipt from the Spanish immigration authorities which will be valid to prove your residence and rights under the Withdrawal Agreement. Note that in becoming legally resident, you will very likely also be deemed tax resident and liable for Spanish taxation on a worldwide basis, so it is important to get your tax planning in order. For the best results, take specialist advice, ideally before you change residence or transfer assets. A locally-based adviser with cross-border expertise can recommend how to minimise taxes – in Spain and the UK – and take advantage of tax-efficient opportunities.

man Sachs asking that it should prepare a defence strategy in the event that a takeover bid is launched. Should a takeover actually be fact rather than fiction, it could be either a private equity firm or Deutsche Telecom AG which has shown interest in the British corporation for several years but it does come with baggage. Like other previously government owned organisations, when privatised in 1984, there were a number of regula tion put in place by the then govern ment which are still extant and a new
LEGALLY SPEAKING
owner could well find itself at odds with those regulations which make the group responsible to the UK government as well as its shareholders. There’s also the matter of coping with superfast broadband and the introduc tion of 5G which will require greater in put from British companies now that Chinese Group Huawei Technologies will have a far reduced involvement. Add to this, a welldocumented pen sion shortfall and any takeover could be problematic although in the longrun, the value of BT is bound to go up.
UK debt exceeds GDP
‘Calendar year’ does not count Last year you wrote that the tourist stay in Spain was 183 days in a calendar year, which gave rise to the peculiarity that a person could stay in Spain for the last six months of a year and the first six months of the following year. Can you confirm this? We would like to travel to Spain in our motorhome and stay for the months of October, November and Decem ber. We would then fly home on December 28 and re turn early in January to stay for the months of January, February and March, returning to Dover on March 30, 2021. E M (by email) The ‘calen dar year’ rule never existed. YOU AND THE LAW It was a common IN SPAIN misconception and we were in error to report it. Further investigation revealed the mistake and we have made this clear in a series of articles this year. Forget years and months. The rule is: 90 days in a 180day period. You can divide your 90 days as you wish. At the end of the 180day pe riod, you must leave Spain for at least 90 days. So I am afraid that your plan will not work.

A MOROCCAN News Agency, quoting in formation published in Spanish newspa per El Confidencial has reported that goods from Melilla are no longer to be considered as coming from a European source. The Moroccan government has quiet ly withdrawn recognition of the EUR1 Movement Certificate which confirms that goods come from a European source which means that import taxes

CAUTIOUS: Rishi Sunak looking positive. FOR the first time since 1960, the UK government’s debt of just over £2 (€2.2) trillion is greater than Gross Domestic Product (GDP) according to the Office for National Statis tics (ONS). Debt had been creeping up during the latter part of 2019, but the lockdown and pandemic has hit Britain bad ly and the fact is that for the past four months spending has exceeded tax income. In the short term, the situation will get worse as the government will need to fund the next round of SelfEmployed Income Support and also settle the
Eat Out scheme. Analysts forecast that once these two significant amounts are paid, the need to borrow will drop, especial ly as company VAT payments will be due and the Furlough scheme will finish. Britain will not benefit in the way that Italy and Spain have from the financial sup port from the European Union and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak will have to be creatively cau tious in his autumn budget and hope that significant trade deals following final Brexit divorce are just around the corner.
Morocco removes EUR1 rights can be charged at a higher rate. The report suggests that companies in Melilla have tried to get round the prob lem by sending their goods to Almeria and then having them shipped to Mo
rocco, but this has proven to be unsuc cessful. Clearly the intention is to give Moroccan based manufacturers a finan cial advantage to sell their products to Morocco’s 36 million population.
Lima airport contract THE Inti Punko consortium, comprising Spanish company Sacyr and Peruvian Group GyM, has been awarded a contract to construct a second runway at the Jorge Chávez airport in Lima, Peru. This is part of an ongoing project to increase landings and capacity at the capital’s main airport which has an overall budget of €330 million to be completed by 2022. In addition to the construc tion of the second runway, 3,480 metres in length, the contract includes the supply of more than 10 kilometres of new taxiways, approach lights, beacon systems, navigation and surveillance equipment.
Orange offers free football IN a bid to try to reverse customer loss in Spain, Or ange has launched a new programme offering its customers access to all Spanish La Liga matches, in both the first and second division, as well as the UE FA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. Customers need to sign up no later than Septem ber 30 in order to have ac cess to all of these match es free of charge for the entire 2020/2021 season. Those who join their Love promotion will re ceive a 50 per cent dis count for three months. The Spanish government is criticised in this report for seemingly taking no ac tion to try to persuade the Moroccans to reverse the decision which has apparent ly never been formally announced. Tensions between the two countries have increased this year with Morocco closing land borders with both Ceuta and Melilla, as well as expanding territorial water claims around parts of the Canary Islands.

As can be seen here, the USA is by far the worst affected country with at least $30 (€25.4) billion disappearing from the economy, but number two in the chart is Spain with a still massive $9.74 (€8.23) billion loss, although it is closely followed by France with Thailand in fourth place.

Educational skullduggery
THE British government’s final decision to allow teachers to decide student’s exam results was not only ridiculous, but positively wreaked of a hasty and desperate endeavour to resolve a problem that they could have simply done without. After all, when you are in debt to the tune of two trillion pounds and gripped by a pandemic bringing the country to its knees, having a bunch of youngsters crying in their cornflakes and marching on Downing Street because they consider they should have received higher than an F in mathematics, was just about the last thing they needed. Appeasing the teachers, pupils and public in one fell swoop was actually a stroke of genius, they simply wanted the problem to go away - and it has. Unfortunately, because of the method used to obtain their grades and through no fault of their own, in years to come the classes of 2020 will be viewed on with suspicion by just about everyone, universities and future employers alike trying to have us believe that teachers would be either competent, unbiased or impartial enough to deliver up fair and just results in these ex-
EXAM RESULTS: A problem the government could have simply done without. ams was actually an insult to anyone with even a smidgen of intelligence. Teachers are as human as the rest of us. They have always had their favourites, or students they dislike and even their occasional attraction to pupils, (who can often manipulate ‘Sir’ or ‘Miss’ with the guile of those far beyond their years!). You can’t tell me that a teacher, who is
aware that a better result for young Jimmy who is not the brightest, but, is ‘such a nice lad’ and has ‘tried very hard,’ doesn’t merit perhaps just a little tweak in the marking department? Well of course it would. Couple that with the fact that schools are judged by their overall success rate and you have the perfect storm for educational skullduggery. Is it any wonder the
diddum’s experienced one of the highest pass rates in history? No, I’m afraid this is merely one more step in the lowering of British education standards, which has been slowly eroding for years. I’m actually pretty convinced that the leftie luvvies will adore this method of selection. No exams, no stress and if they had their way, no losers. I predict a whole glut of university graduates stacking the shelves of Sainsbury’s in the dumbed down years to come. You truly do have to feel sorry for poor old Boris. He’s found himself at the head of a government experiencing the worst series of crisis in living memory. Become a new dad. Been at death’s door with the Covid virus and when he tries to slip away into the British countryside for a brief respite, has an irate farmer chase him off the land where he pitches his tent! For heaven’s sake give him a break and thank the Lord that the likes of Corbyn and Abbott aren’t those making the decisions. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com expatradioscotland. Mon.

Absolutely besotted
FOLLOWING on from our previous article about losing our dog Chalkie, we found ourselves trying to adjust to a life without him and in all honesty, it was a daily struggle. We missed him not being there to greet us, his cuddles and the fact he was always by our side, without question. As days and weeks passed, we sat down as a family several times to talk about how the massive hole he left behind was prominent, and even more so with the current climate, and the new normal, how it wasn’t going away and was there even a possibility of us moving on without it ever being filled again. After thinking about it long and hard we decided to start looking at the option of homing another dog as we
ADORABLE PUPPIES: Han Solo and Chewbacca have settled in as family members.
couldn’t move past this. We started to research into various charities and animal shelters but nothing positive was really happening for us after having reached out a few times. It was also very heartbreaking to see all the animals in the kennels without loving homes, but we were so happy when we were able to rescue and home two adorable puppies who I immediately named Han Solo and Chewbacca (I am a massive Star Wars fan ha ha). They are turning three months old and just about to go for their second batch of inoculations. The force is strong with them, they are playful, full of energy and have settled right in as family members. We are absolutely besotted.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A rather slow start to the week leads you to feel bored but be assured that the weekend will be far from dull. A recent conversation or correspondence with an old friend leads to unexpected contact.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Everything on the home front is emphasised and there will be a flurry of activity. Get others involved in any changes. Work in the garden or painting is much more enjoyable and half the work if you enlist the help of someone you get on well with.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When discussing a holiday with others, be aware that agreement is not always easily met. Although you are not inclined to compromise, it is necessary to go with the majority decision. Patience is thin on the ground at the moment, but try not to overreact.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After the 24th it is much easier to see the path ahead. This is particularly true of a financial situation, so there's no sense in fussing until you understand what needs to be done. Someone who has in the past been uncooperative is more flexible. You wonder at this and try to see an ulterior motive, but it is most likely that they have seen the error of their past actions. Is it possible for you to take them on trust?
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Your attention is needed on more than one front, and some decisions are at odds with your personal thoughts and attitudes. Being reminded that ‘business is business’ does nothing to relieve your conscience. You may have to upset someone by telling the truth, which may affect your longer-term finances but do you really have any choice?
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Are you willing to take a risk on someone who has let you down before? Looking into their recent past is likely to tip the balance. What you find shows clearly if there has been a change of heart on their part or if they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) A disagreement with a friend upsets you but is short-lived. To avoid such a situation in the future, look at how you should have dealt with it. There is always something to know that guides us to a better position. It will make you smile that someone has taken you for a fool because you have the last laugh.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A great feeling of joy comes over you more than once in the week ahead. Your inner child has been set free, and this is likely to be because of recent restrictions, which are now lifted. Do not feel guilty about this because it is a choice that will serve you well in the future. Right now, things may seem like a bit of an effort for small reward.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The need to plan ahead is frustrating when you know exactly what ought to be going on. Patience is something that you need to cultivate, or you risk upsetting someone close. Spending time with a colleague makes you realise how good things could be, but a lot of effort is involved. Pushing ahead does not guarantee results.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) It is difficult to avoid repeating mistakes made in the past. Your approach to certain situations has not changed and therein lies the problem. Someone who blames you for a mistake shows ignorance but that does not make it less upsetting.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Who is trying to push you into a corner? Maybe it is being done so subtly that you have not even noticed. Who wants a decision from you? Appear to take pressure lightly and not give in to an irritation.
Nonagram How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice). Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case A) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.

Good luck with that one Germany... MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I LOVE dogs - they are just the best pets in the world. They just want to be your best friend and are very loyal. My ambition is to be half the man my dog thinks I am. The greeting when you return home is ‘Wow you came back. Thank you!!’ So you will understand that when I read that North Korea’s leader has reportedly ordered his people to hand over their pet dogs so they can be turned into meat for restaurants absolutely made me feel sick and totally outraged. It’s bad enough they eat dogs in the first place, but to come round your house and remove your beloved pet is just not even something I want to think about. There was another doggy story that caught my eye this week and initially I thought it was crazy but after looking at it closer it isn’t. The story was on the Mail online which does not seem to have the ability to report anything truthfully which
is infuriating. Their headline was that in Germany owners had to walk their dogs two hours a day and would get prosecuted if they didn’t. After looking into it it’s not quite as bad but still difficult to understand how they could police it. But what they are saying is dogs aren’t cuddly toys. They also have their own needs, which need to be taken into account. Under the new rules it will no longer be legal for Germany’s 9.4 million dogs to be left alone at home for long periods. Keeping dogs tethered or on a lead for a significant amount of time could also be banned, which is absolutely correct. What they don’t seem to have taken into consideration is that not all dogs are the same. My dog is 14 years old. He couldn’t walk two hours a day. He likes to go out for two walks a day, get a bit of exercise, do what he has to do and come home. He’s emptied again at night before we close for the day. Also you have to take into consideration the size and breed. A tiny Chihuahua doesn’t need the same exercise as a Labrador. Anyway good luck with that one Germany. Maybe whilst timing dogs’ walks you can check whether everyone has their face masks on and are socially distancing at the same time!

They call me Sir Lunchalot GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY AMIDST the never-ending rule changes of the new normal, one thing remains constant - each day, lunch is something of an occasion. Having always preferred to lunch, rather than dinner, I try to find restaurants in Marbella to fulfil my desire for great food, and stylish settings. Trust me, it’s not as easy as it should be. Living directly on the beach, one would expect simple, yet fantastic seafood and local cuisine. However, it seems that the restaurateurs of the area prefer to mix things up, with an awful lot of Asian fusion. Yes, I’m confused too. If you’re fortunate to live in Andalucia, there are so many amazing culinary possibilities. While dining out should be something to look forward to, I find it something of a chore, as I try to think of where to go. First World problems for sure, but still, problems are problems. That changed this week, as I stumbled upon my new favourite place. Primeria Selection, in Marbella town is possibly the most stylish and passionate of all. Stylish, as it exudes simple elegance. Passionate, as the owners Luis and Encarna Galán are knowledgeable and interested in every aspect. I met a friend on an impossibly hot Wednesday afternoon, when the only thing to calm the heat was chilled Veuve Clicquot, and an ocean of San Pellegrino. We shared some burrata and then asked what else was on offer. I was told that in the evening the menu lists daily specials. One thing I’ve noticed a lot in Marbella - despite the economic downturn and lack of custom, most places are reluctant to bend the rules, remaining trapped in opening times that simply no longer apply. If a customer wishes to go off piste, and let’s say, order from the evening menu at lunch time, why not? They have money, and you have what they want. I believe they call it ‘good business.’ Anyhow, that’s exactly what happened. When I asked what time the
FAVOURITE PLACE: Me with the owners of Primeria Selection in Marbella. Their names are Luis and Encarna Galán. exciting evening menu begins, ever smiling, and super well-informed Encar na replied, “right now, if you like!” Suddenly our lunch became an occasion and naturally so did our tab. Amazingly fresh prawn tortilla with black truffle. Potato salad with cod tartare. A locally sourced cheese plate. A well-priced and delicious Rioja. Sorry if I’m making you hungry. This couple are passionate about every aspect of their business, and more so, about promoting seriously good Spanish produce. That evening, I thought of how well they ran their chic eatery. Hands on and hard work - I know it’s hard work, as I used to be involved in a similar restaurant in Dublin. That’s the thing about whatever you choose to do - without a true passion, there’s no point. I was recently interviewed for an English magazine, about my lifestyle, and life in general. When asked why I live in Spain, I replied, because I am fortunate. Yes, there are many things about Marbella that surprise me. But a life without surprise, well, where’s the fun in that?

DIONE LOCKYER I’M guessing that many of you would love nothing more than to have complete control of your lives? For me, this was an everyday occurrence. However, I never actually understood how much this affected my state of well-being. Trying to control the outcome of every aspect of my life, increased my anxiety and lead me to question my own natural ability to just be me! There were things I was trying to control that were actually, completely out of my control. This then lead to frustration, anger and resentment. By concentrating on controlling everything outside of me, I lost my authentic self. I lost my inner calm and peace, replacing it with uncertainty. I needed to know why I felt the need to control everything in my life, and why it was so impor-
Everything In Your Life
Quote - Before you take control of your life you first must understand what “taking control” means. tant to me. I had to revisit my past to find the answer. I picked up my journal, and wrote the title ‘Why Do I Need To Be In Control?’ After frantically writing, I had dwindled it down to two main reasons... FEAR and EGO. My ego was telling me that if I didn’t control my personal and business life, I would fail! I had to be perfect in every way possible to avoid said failure and to also avoid the judgement of others. If I had control, I would only achieve success. I felt that I had to control my work, my relationship, who I allowed around me because then, there was no way I could get hurt! The problem was, I was the one that was causing the hurt. Not only to my-
self but everyone around me. So How Do You Let Go Of The Need To Control? Here are three of the top tips that taught me how to be less of a control freak Learn to Just Be You cannot control anything that is outside of you. You can only control the emotions that you attach to it. Be at peace with yourself. Take anything between five and 30 minutes per day to ‘Just Be.’ Find a quiet spot, take in your surroundings and enjoy the moment. Don’t pressurise yourself to feel or do anything, just enjoy whatever comes to you at that moment and breath. Show gratitude for what you have, here and now. Let go of the outcome and appreciate the calmness within you.
Write a List Write a list of the things that you CAN control. By physically writing the list of what you can control, you can remove the need to control what is outside of you. My list consists of the following, My mental well-being - I can control my mental state and wellbeing by doing what makes my soul happy. For me, this includes, reading a book, meditation and journalling. As a believer of the law of attraction, I understand we all work on electrical frequencies. By ensuring I am on a high-frequency level, and being at peace with myself, I will attract more of the same back to me. My appearance - I can control how I want to look. If I wish to wear make-up, I can. If I wish to
just kick back in my favourite PJs, with my hair scrunched, on the top of my head, I can. Let Go of the What Ifs What if it goes wrong? What if I make a fool of myself? What if I fail. These were questions that entered my mind daily. Now I ask the same question back! Nothing you do is a failure, it is merely a lesson and with lessons comes growth. If something doesn’t go the way you want it to, let go of trying to control it. Try a different approach or understand that, what has happened, was meant to happen. Realign with your true self and try again. For more information on releasing control, please visit dione lockyermindsetmentor.com.

DEAR Euro Weekly, I live in a particularly Spanish neighbourhood in Fuengirola and there are a couple of Spanish bars owned by the same people that are situated next to each other. Every single night the bars are ram-packed, sure they serve a little tapas to go with the drinks, but I am talking no social distancing, no masks, absolutely no time for chairs or tables to be wiped down and disinfected. It’s bedlam. The police pass this area regularly as it is near the police station and a main road, but I have never seen them stop and do any kind of enforcement or checks. Are we back to us against them again? Surely it should be one rule for everyone if we ever want rid of this horrible virus?

Shock and sense
TK Dear Euro Weekly, I got a bit of a fright last week when I read your report on Facebook about the possibility of a lockdown in September and I must say the load of comments made it worse. However, when I read your follow up article it did begin to make sense and of course, if that is what the government ask
OUR VIEW Mere pawns WHEN will politicians and governments stop gambling with our lives in their games of one-upmanship? First one closes their borders then another follows suit in what seems like a childlike move, do they really have our best interests at heart or have we become bargaining tools in their future plans? Three weeks ago, the UK government decided to re-impose a 14-day quarantine on everyone arriving from Spain forcing travellers into panic and trying to return home at short notice. At the time, Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez said visitors would be safer from the virus in Spain than in the UK, and he hoped Britain would think again. However, the UK government have not changed their mind and an official spokesperson for BoJo even warned that ‘no travel is risk-free during this pandemic.’ Now, the UK government has said anyone travelling from France and the Netherlands will have to quarantine, which again caused a mass exodus among those holidaying in these destinations. It was reported that the latest measure was put into place as new Covid-19 infections grew across Europe and France, in particular, reported a large increase in infections in the past week. T h e m o v e i s a g i g a n t i c b l o w t o F r a n c e ’s tourism industr y as the previous move was to Spain’s. Is there something we are missing? A bigger picture? Take away the destinations and people will spend money on home soil maybe?
CORRECTIONS
IT’S BEDLAM: Why are there no police checks?
of us, another lockdown, then who are we to argue. Now, lo and behold, they have started to take other actions with the closing of bars and smoking bans etc, so let’s hope all those who gave such negative replies to the news posted maybe think before pouncing on the keyboard the next time. It is an uncertain time with confusing consequences so who are we to argue? Anyway, I just wanted to say sorry that I had a flicker of doubt, it was probably just the shock of the continuing fight. Keep us informed and don’t let the finger pointers get you down. Hailey Marchmont Benidorm

Dear Euro Weekly, How can the Spanish government screw it up for us any more? Their recent actions and rules have truly put the boot in for many expat bars. I have friends who have already handed back their keys as they see no way forward and who is to know what nonsensical moves the government will make next. You can kiss goodbye to tourism now. Obviously, most people won’t be coming on holiday to stand next to each other smoking in a bar that isn’t serving food at three o’clock in the morning but people want things their way and want to make up their own minds about where they smoke, drink or party. Let’s hope for some good news soon or even results that show that this was a good idea, as so far nothing has proven to have worked.

Bayern Munich Have Been Crowned European Champions BAYERN MUNICH are champions of Europe for the first time since 2013 and for the sixth time in their history! Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) were better in the first half, but it was Kingsley Coman, who started his career at PSG, that came through with a 59th-minute header at the far post from Joshua Kimmich’s cross that left the French giants still searching for that elusive Champions League triumph. It was certainly a night of joy for Bayern coach Hansi Flick, who a d d e d the Champions League to the Bundesliga after initially taking over as interim coach from sacked Niko Kovac in November.
In contrast, it was a night of bitter disappointment for PSG’s two attacking superstars, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, who failed to produce their best and found themselves frustrated by the Bayern keeper and man of the match, Manuel N e u e r, when they had the best of the first-
half chances. Mbappe’s pain increased in the second half when he looked to be tripped by Kimmich in the area, but PSG’s penalty claims were ignored which left Bayern to celebrate being crowned champions of Europe once more, becoming the first team to win the trophy by winning every Champions League game in a single campaign. Bayern closed the perfect Champions League with 11 victories in 11 games, the only shame was that the match had to be played to a virtually empty stadium in Lisbon, Portugal due to coronavirus restrictions.
