NURSERY schools in Vélez-Málaga finally opened their doors last week to welcome children back in this unusual new school year hindered by the health crisis. Activities have started safely thanks to the measures adopted by the town hall, including the employment of eight teachers for the La Fortaleza de Vélez-Málaga and Virgen del Carmen de Torre del Mar centres, in addition, the reinforcement of cleaning services and the purchase of materials to ensure the safety of children. The councillor for Social Rights and Equality, Víctor González, explained, “Our commitment to education is a priority, which is why we

Pioneer’s present
MARINA KRESS, the pioneer researcher, in what was classed as a men’s profession, has donated to the Nerja Museum, important documents relating to her participation in the archaeological excavations of the Nerja Caves carried out in 1963, so that it can be viewed by visitors and not allow this historical moment to fade away. The excavation, in which Kress was involved, was directed by another pioneer woman, Ana María de la Quadra Salcedo, and took place between April 26 and May 24, 1963. During this operation, Marina Kress dedicated herself to collecting soil samples, as she was one of the greatest experts of her time in the study of this discipline. With

RESEARCH: Marina Kress makes her donation. them, she carried out various types of research, such as edaphological, which analysed the soil in relation to its environment, and others that studied its structure or its chemical components.
She has not visited Nerja since that time, and now, after 57 years, she wanted to return and make an important historical donation, with the aim of telling her experience and sharing her legacy.

Fresh start EL INGENIO Shopping Centre, owned by Salsa Patrimonio and managed by MVGM, is adding the finishing touches to its changes, which have not only rejuvenated its appearance and facilities, but also added to its commercial mix. PadThaiWok has joined other restaurants and its opening has created great expectation, for incorporating a succulent offer of Thai food and for the aesthetics of its establishment, very modern and inviting to customers who may wish to take a selfie. On the other hand, the Chinese firm Xiaomi has also opened its doors in the centre, selling a wide range of both mobile phones and electronic products. Both establishments held openings in which they rewarded the first 100 customers.

LEFT OUT: Pharmacists feel they could offer more.
THE Business Federation of Spanish P h a r m a c i s t s (FEFE), feel underused during this ongoing health crisis and so have offered their services in such important actions as collecting samples to perform PCR or serological tests and vaccinating risk groups against influenza to make better use of their time and abilities. The group have been offering their services to the ministry and regional governments since the beginning of the health crisis through different channels, however, so far, they have fallen on deaf ears.
“It does not make any sense that they do not have us,” says Luis de Palacio, president of FEFE, “we are the health workers who are closest to the population, we are hundreds of metres from their houses and each is probably a regular visitor. “If it is necessary for us to train, we will do it without a problem. These last four or five weeks we have carried out courses both on vaccination and on the different detection tests that exist.” Many countries including Portugal, the UK, Denmark and France already allow pharmacists to administer the flu vaccine.

FREE TO PUBLIC: New section of historic path to open in October. OCTOBER sees the Diputación plan to open a new section of the Gran Senda de Málaga, already known as the Caminito del Rey, the mountainous path between Canillas de Aceituno and Sedella, located in the natural park of Sierras Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama. Environment, Interior Tourism and Climate Change Deputy, Cristóbal Ortega, confirmed the plan is to have this section open to the public, free of charge, by the beginning of October as this is the high season of hiking routes beginning. The
works, as he explained, are practically completed and he stressed that with its start-up this area will become ‘a new attraction’ for tourism in the region. One of the most complicated works has been the placement, in Canillas de Aceituno, of a suspension bridge 46 metres long and suspended 50 metres above the riverbed in an area near the La Rahije. This new path is part of stage number 7 of the Great Path which connects Cómpeta and Canillas de Aceituno with a 25-kilometre route where there has been an investment of almost €600,000.

In the coming months, the world’s art lovers will have the chance to get an up-close look at Juanito’s art when he goes on his first large trip outside of Spain. He said, excitedly: “I really want to travel and to leave Spain, to see other places in the world.”
JET2 cancels all flights to mainland Spain for the rest of the summer and also advised it would not be flying to parts of Croatia either. Travellers hoping to fly off for last-minute trips to spain were left devastated after travel giant Jet2 cancelled all flights to the mainland. They revealed the news after government guidance on quarantine rules for travellers from the country remained the same. Spain was removed from the UK government’s ‘safe lists’ on July 25. All flights from the company to Croatia before November will now be automatically cancelled by Jet2holidays, full refunds will be issued to customers. In a communication to agents, the operator said: “Jet2holidays have taken the decision to extend the suspension of our flights and holidays programme to Croatia due to the continued
Covid-19 pandemic.” In a separate communication to agents, Jet2 confirmed its holidays to mainland Spain, including Malaga, Alicante and Barcelona, were also cancelled until the same dates. Jet2 urged the UK government to implement “a targeted approach to travel advice, instead of the current blanket ban approach.” In a statement shared on Twitter, the company said: “Where customers are affected by any programme changes, we have been repeatedly recognised for how we have been looking after them, offering the option to rebook with no admin fee, a refund credit note, or a full cash refund, and we are contacting customers to discuss these options.

COMMUNITY response to Project Costa’s ambitious b i d t o c re a t e a h a l f w a y house and soup kitchen for the homeless in the region has been incredible.

Political Viewpoint from Spain
HAS the fast tide of legislation and decrees imposed by politicians taken into account the vast costs on vulnerable sectors of the population? We continually hear the phrase ‘social distancing’ as the temporary solution until a vaccine is available. The problem is that this solution is a utopia. Our economic system is based on the exchange of goods and services, fundamentally physical rather than virtual. As seen in our communities, the rules imposed from our ‘trusted institutions’ are not profitable for most businesses which are closing down and in turn causing a domino effect on the economy and that is also reaching out into health issues which are not Covid related. Nowadays no one is self-sufficient and we are not just talking economically, but also on an emotional level. When speaking of distancing it seems that

REPORT: Detailed the death of the elderly due to abandonment during isolation. the health authorities are not taking into account human emotions; they refer to us as if we were machines that can be programmed without any effect on our health. However, health has a far more extensive overall reach than what we can physically view.
A few days ago, the NGO Doctors Sans Frontières published a devastating report on what happened in care homes in Spain during the worst months of the pandemic. It explains, among many other things, the death of the elderly due to sorrow and abandonment produced by isolation
which was decreed by our governments. So, it seems that our health authorities imposed strict rules to protect our loved ones from coronavirus, but not from death. Furthermore, we were also told how to bury our loved ones, as cremation was compulsory during these months in
Spain and in most cases, postmortems were not allowed. As also seen this summer, towns such as Aranda del Duero in the north of Spain were sent back into lockdown with no hospital cases and based only on the PCR tests, that are now being questioned by Professor Carl Heneghan from the University of Oxford’s Centre for Evidence-based Medicine. This has left many people without work causing even more stress on the government’s treasury and people’s well-being and way of life. The perspective most people fail to see is that isolation is only sustainable for certain sectors, who can financially sustain themselves. It seems as if politicians are happy to ensure that people do not get Covid, even if the decisions fail to secure a future free from emotional problems or hunger due to the collapse of the economy.

A BRITISH holidaymaker travelled from Huddersfield to Te n e r i f e without wearing a protective face mask on his flight because he spent the journey time eating a tube of Pringles crisps. Michael R i c h a rd s bragged on his Facebook account of being able to fly without a face mask on a flight with easyJet although its use is mandatory on all flights and it is only allowed not to wear it to eat or drink. Taking full advantage of this loophole he only wore it for 10 minutes, when he decided to go to the toilet and when he stowed his suitcase away before take-off. Richards is quoted as saying, “I thought I’d take my time eating these Pringles to see how long they’d last, and I kept nibbling away, but it was hard because once you pop you can’t stop, you know.” He added, “When we

However, with health measures having been stepped up it does pose the question of why he was not challenged by any of the a i rc r e w o r o t h e r p a s sengers for not wearing a face mask on the flight?
Barbaric bashing ONE of Spain's most controversial traditions, bullfighting, has taken a bashing during the health crisis with some fearing the congregating of so many as a health hazard leading to cancellations in Madrid this weekend. However, most would love to see it gone for good because of its sheer brutality. Surely anything that takes away from the pockets of promoters and the fighters themselves can be seen as a victory over the barbaric ‘sport.’ This year’s major bullfighting festivities are at an all-time low during the month of

While Madrid has suspended the two bullfights planned this weekend, several bullfighting festivals have gone ahead in Andalucia and Castilla la Mancha. Should the virus continue to have an effect on attendance numbers, will those who call for a ban on the so-called ‘barbarism’ finally see the tradition fall to its knees?

WITH the recent approval by the Castile-La Mancha Parliament of the new Animal Protection Law, which includes a ban on circus shows with wild animals in Castile-La Mancha, 12 Autonomous Communities have now banned these shows. Over the last four years pressure group InfoCircos has been in regular contact with the Parliamen-
tary Groups of the Cortes in order to achieve the prohibition of circuses with wild animals in Castilla-La Mancha. With Castilla-La Mancha joining the ban, 78 per cent of the Spanish population now lives in territory free of circuses with wild animals, either in the 12 Autonomous Communities where these shows have been banned, or in the munici-
palities that have declared themselves free of circuses with wild animals. According to Marta Merchán of InfoCircos, “The ban on the use of wild animals in circus shows is something about which there is a broad consensus, not only at a social level but, as is being seen in the majority of Communities and municipalities, from all political parties.”

MAGICAL MIND
Keeping that imagination safe, Pete Peru.
By Damon Mitchell IN the current times of harsh reality EWN was lucky enough to delve into the vivid imagination of an expat writer and one half of the creative team behind the fantasy fiction or ‘Arctic Gothic Horror’ novel ‘The Reeking Hegs,’ who goes by the nom de plume Pete Peru. Pete has been a resident in Spain since 1989 and is currently living in Sant Cugat, near Barcelona. The primary schoolchildren that he teaches at the Europa International School of Barcelona might be shocked to discover the fantastic journeys he has taken in his life which look to serve as inspiration for his first published book. Pete’s writing of ‘The Reeking Hegs’ began when he returned from a trip around South America, hence the ‘Peru’ in his pseudonym. The name was given to him by his cowriter Lord Tupelo, or Bob, when they began an inventive way to put together their collective thoughts. “We used to bounce ideas off each other, I

Bob could choose to follow the direction I was going or take the story in a completely different direction. A lot of was written under the influence of Bob’s home brew!” He added, “The bulk of the book was written from about 1987 to 1992 when it was completed. At that point we tried to have it published, but with no success.” The two lost touch over the years and it wasn’t until a couple of years ago
when Pete discovered the folder whilst tidying up during a break from work that the project again saw the light of day. “I decided to tidy it up a bit, rewrite it on the Mac and send it to publishers. I was amazed to receive an offer from Montag Press but had not spoken to Bob for so long and was struggling to find him.” In an odd twist of fate, Pete finally managed to find him in the place where all of us may logically start... through a friend that Bob played table tennis with! The two finally saw their imaginative piece of work come together and it has now been released on Amazon both in a worldwide digital format and paperback in the States. For Pete, it has reignited his passion for writing and he is already working on second novel The Red City, a science fiction story which he describes as the world’s first “POST-post apocalyptic novel.” For those who wish to order a copy of Pete Peru and Lord Tupelo’s book, they can do so on Ama zon.co.uk or Amazon.es.

In addition we usually return in early September for about six weeks. Your article states that we have to be out of Spain (I assume this also means all of the Schen gen area?) for 90 days before we can return, so our earliest return date would be in October.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development is an intergovernmental organisa tion founded in 1961 which ap points expert tax assessors from its member states who review the tax situation of mainly devel oped countries around the world. The latest review of tax on the Rock saw these experts visit Gibraltar to investigate the situa tion and to discuss financial mat ters with both public bodies and local businesses.
Puro Beach will return THE fire which destroyed La guna Village in Estepona has seen at least 200 people out of work and the mayor of the town promising to speed up approval for its rebuilding. The owner of one property on the site, Puro Beach Club, young Andalucian entrepre neur Rosauro Varo is said to be worth at least €140 mil lion following sales of Pepe phone and 2,000 licences to Cabify. Although he lives in Madrid, he and his partner also own a property in Marbella and it is ex pected that he will use some of his funds to help rebuild Laguna Village.
Negative interest rates cent so it can hardly go any lower without becoming negative. There are mixed views over the ef fectiveness of below zero interest rates (which Japan followed for sever al years due to low inflation), but pro ponents say that if the banks have to
pay to keep money on deposit with the central bank then they will be more inclined to lend it out to busi nesses. The Governor told MPs, “It’s in the box of tools, we’re not planning it at the moment, we’ve got no plans to
use it imminently, but it is in the box.” The Bank wants to see inflation hit 2 per cent this year, but with so many problems of shops and restaurants clos ing and industry cutting back, prices are generally static or even dropping so some form of stimulus is needed.

Costa Coffee cuts
POPULAR BRAND: Trade is returning, but takings are definitely down. COSTA COFFEE owned by the Coca-Cola group is probably the most popular of the coffee café brands in the UK, but it is suffering and is considering shedding around 1,650 jobs from its 2,700 stores of which 1,100 are franchises. The company closed almost all of its outlets for six weeks during the lockdown and so far 300 remain closed, but with the downturn in footfall caused by fewer shoppers and office workers, takings are definitely down. Throughout the pandemic, Costa has taken action to pro vide, where possible, financial support and to look after em ployees and while stores were closed, all team members were put on the furlough scheme provided by the gov ernment, with their salary topped up by Costa to 100 per cent for 12 weeks.
It agrees that trade is re turning, helped by the gov ernment’s VAT reduction, which Costa passed on to customers in full, and the re cent ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ Scheme, but there remain high levels of uncertainty as to when trade will recover to preCovid levels. Costa claims that it has made significant investments in safely accelerating the re opening of stores, ensuring they are safe for customers and team members and made the difficult decision to freeze all pay increases within the Support Centre and cut all nonessential expenditure. Managing Director Neil Lake said following the announce ment, “Today’s announce ment to our store teams was an extremely difficult decision to make. Our baristas are the heart of the Costa business and I am truly sorry that many now face uncertainty follow ing today’s news.”
Xanadú for sale AS previously reported, British developer Intu Properties has been placed into Administration (a form of bankruptcy) and as expected, liquidator KPMG has instructed a Spanish agency to try to find a buyer for its 50 per stake in Madrid shopping centre Xanadú. It was as recently as 2017 that Intu purchased the centre for €530 million and then quickly sold half to Nuveen Real Estate Fund and last year it managed to sell its Zaragoza shopping centre and pulled out of a planned development in Torremolinos.
BUSINESS EXTRA Downgraded MOODYS rating agency has downgraded Spanish company ProSil Acquisition SA which trades in non-performing loans (NPL). Stronger consumer protection and lack of activity in courts due to the pandemic suggests that income for 2020 will see a significant fall.
Energy acquisition CENTRICA which owns British Gas has announced that it has purchased the 112,000 residential customer base of not for profit energy supplier Robin Hood Energy Ltd which is owned by Nottingham City Council for an undisclosed sum.
Possible merger IN what could see a huge new Spanish banking group, it has been confirmed that CaixaBank and Bankia are in discussions concerning a merger using third party investment banks to advise each company’s boards. Any agreement would need shareholder approval

It’s really not their fault
WE really shouldn’t be blaming the immigrants for pouring across the channel in their droves. It’s really not their fault. If you were sitting in a muddy foreign field, rain dripping on your head through the holes in your tatty tarpaulin ceiling and someone showed you a photo of the luxury hotel room you could be occupying by crossing a mere 20 odd miles of fairly safe water, wouldn’t you give it a go? I know I would. The irony is that the photos and reports they receive are all true. Many of those who have ‘made it,’ actually are sitting in comfortable, free hotel rooms with telly and ensuite bathrooms. Recently I watched Alan Boulton interviewing an ex border control chief. ‘What actually happens to the majority of these people when they are picked up’ he asked? ‘Well,’ the ex-chief explained. ‘Ultimately they are all taken somewhere to be processed; we take their particulars and fingerprints and then let them go’! Apparently, in an act of naivety that almost defies the imagination, they are subsequently instructed to ‘report back in a couple of weeks’! ‘And what percentage com-
IMMIGRANTS: The UK is rapidly losing control. plies with this directive,’ enquired Boulton. ‘Well er none,’ was the reply. Well well, isn’t that a surprise!? He also added that if they do catch up with people, many have already found lawyers and can begin legal proceedings, which may tie up cases for years. The sheer cost of this whole ridiculous state of affairs must be simply staggering. They really have to do what I suggested years ago. Build camps. Se-
cure facilities with high walls and strict security. They must be run like semi open prisons and be as self-supporting as possible. Immigrants need to be put to work, receive correct medical attention food and accommodation. After proper processing they can then be released into society or deported. Legal aid resources to lawyers must also be severely curtailed. These ‘immigrant chasing’ sharks are a huge drain on tax
payers’ money and are a large part of the problem. The message that goes back across the channel has to change. It simply cannot appear to offer desperate people a kind of utopian Shangri-La, with free legal aid to explore a multitude of loopholes in a system that already resembles a terminally perforated colander. For heaven’s sake someone get a grip. The UK is rapidly losing control and when it hits the fan, don’t look to the likes of Gary Lineker to solve the problem - it just ain’t going to happen. Delighted to see the awful Kay Burley’s new show being slated by the critics. This bitchy egotistical woman, who laughingly sees herself as a ‘probing’ reporter, is nothing more than a nasty bitter individual who, if she wasn’t a major shareholder, would have been put out to graze by SKY news years ago. Constructive noises issuing from the mouth of Tim Davies the new Director General of the BBC. Let’s just see if he puts his money anywhere in its vicinity.

DAVID WORBOYS FORGIVENESS, generosity and tolerance are charitable characteristics, but we normally think of charity as the act of giving. And to be genuine, charitable giving should be anonymous, unconditional and sacrificial. If an act of giving is anonymous, it is likely to be unconditional. Often we hear of the anonymous donor, who feels compassion for a cause or for the predicament of a particular person or group. True charity is a matter between giver and recipient. Nobody else need know. Many of us give, so that we may feel better about ourselves and a certain smugness can creep in. “What a jolly decent chap I am!” Some of us need to appear to friends or to the general public as a benefactor. We let them know by simply telling them: “I could see they were in difficulty so I decided to slip them a fiver.” Or “I like

TRUE CHARITY
ACT OF GIVING: Should be anonymous, unconditional and sacrificial. to support several good causes.” The anonymous donor does not fall into this category. The most sincere acts of charity are unconditional - where there is no expectation of gratitude and with no strings attached. Are you offended if you give money to a person begging on the street and he fails to look at you or thank you? Has he perhaps not had
the advantage of being able to learn basic social graces when he was young? The recipient should not be patronised but recognised as an equal who lacks the advantages and opportunities of the donor. A billionaire businessman may decide to give millions to help children in the developing world. In itself this is admirable.
But is the intention to generate publicity for the donor as a philanthropist? And if it were to provide a way to exploit and open up markets for the donor’s enterprises in those countries, the gift would hardly be charitable. Worst of all, if the products marketed were to prove harmful to the citizens (eg drugs, untested vaccines), the ‘charitable’ act would be

downright criminal. It is perhaps most challenging to give sacrificially. While any act of generosity is good, it is not difficult to give a fiver here and there when you enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. Sacrificing your valued possessions or future experiences for the betterment of others is, apart from your life, the ultimate act of charity. During the early days of mass immigration into Europe, I knew a family in France who quietly opened their home to a young brother and sister who had endured terrible hardship and survived huge risks in escaping persecution in southern Sudan. The family knew little about the teenagers and neither they nor the new members of their household could speak much English. But they had already considered the potential disruption to their comfortable lifestyles and decided to go ahead. They are now a happy, multicultural family. This was a welcoming act that ticked all three boxes. It was anonymous, unconditional and sacrificial.

MIKE SENKER Views of a Grumpy Old Man
LAMBE-MURPHY
NEVER watched Last Night of the Proms all the way through - not my thing really but when I heard the BBC were going to ban Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia I was angry. Yet another ridiculous decision made by - well I don’t actually know by whom. I’m sure it references slavery plus other things that have scared someone. I don’t even know what the words of the songs are but whenever I have seen glimpses of people singing it they don’t appear to be white supremists or at a National Front meeting. Just a bunch of people having a jolly good night out. Anyway we can stand down now as the Beeb has changed its mind. As an aside when the ban was announced Land of Hope and Glory topped the charts. Joke isn’t it? I really want to write about Trump but to be honest I just don’t have enough space here to list all the lies and hate he pedals so I won’t - unless I’m given more space one week.
I have grey hair, what’s left of it. I now have a fivehead. My forehead went long ago and when I do have it cut I decline the offer to be shown the back of it in the mirror. I’m happy to remember it as it was - thick, lush and curly, not the shiny space that is now there. As it’s grey my daughter bought me some special shampoo for a nice silvery look. This is achieved because the shampoo is purple. I read the instructions the best I could and washed me barnet. I now look like my old aunty Doris who used to have a purple rinse. You all know the look I’m talking about. I might have to re-read the instructions. OK just getting ready to pop out for a quick trip to shops. Checklist - house keys, phone, car keys, sighted sunglasses that my driving licence says I have to wear even though I don’t wear glasses for anything else. Mask, hand sanitiser, exception note from doctor in case I get stopped by the police for getting out of my car and walking to shop without mask on. And, of course, a hat to cover my purple hair!! Oh now I’ve forgotten why I’m going out. Sod it, I’ll do it another time. Let’s find another box set. I’m on Twitter @Silverfox1949xx - give me a follow

IT’S GOOD: Drinking watermelon juice. been more important, so too is the need to look after our day-to-day general health. With the virus still very much in the news, and cases on the rise, we keep washing our hands and protecting ourselves from germs entering our bodies. However, it’s also time to up our game and our vitamin intake. Protecting from the inside. I’ve started eating more and more fruit and vegetables. I eat a lot anyhow, roughly 20 tomatoes per week (usually in the form of Insalata Caprese, if I’m honest), not to mention my new addiction to juicing. I go through phases of juicing, and right now, if I can juice it, I do it. Even carrot juice, with a little Grey Goose, has become my go-to five o’clock martini. After just five days of lower alcohol intake, longer running distances and heaps of foods packed with vitamins, I feel stronger and more alive. Ready for anything, in fact. So bring it on!

Yet another ridiculous decision IN MY OPINION
GAVIN AS I walked to a meeting, early on Tuesday morning, I suddenly felt the cool air of autumn. I stopped in the centre of Marbella, and watched as the sun came up, offering golden hues through the trees of Parque de la Alameda. The cool air, the golden light, the smell of the bakery, and the sound of the city, coming to life slowly. Sometimes the most simple things, stop us in our tracks and remind us, that the world keeps going. Emerging from my meeting, a very successful one, I may add, the temperature had climbed fast to 28ºC and it felt much like summer once again. September has arrived out of nowhere, and of course we have been expecting it, but somehow, autumn 2020 arrived without the usual back to school television commercials, or advertising campaigns featuring falling leaves and Halloween references. It just arrived, and for me it’s most welcome. The changing of the seasons is something I look forward to, and since moving to Marbella, autumn has become the best. After long, hot and lazy, if not sometimes crazy, days of August, autumn brings with it an opportunity to move indoors and light the fires. The climate here in autumn is pretty much ideal - temperatures still warm enough to hit the beach, but cool enough to pull out the cashmere in the evenings. Lunching at The Marbella Club on Thursday, I sat, staring out to sea, beaches now empty and the pace of life, feeling even a little slower than before. Yes, we only had a very short summer season, and there were masks and social distancing to contend with, but we still had the opportunity to grab a little bit of new normal on the beaches. My home is right on the beach, so, after months of lockdown, to see people splashing in the sea, or the sound of children laughing, was great. However, now summer has passed, it feels as if the beach is almost private once again. It’s good for the mind. And while keeping our mental health in check has never

HEARTBREAKING DEAR Euro Weekly News, It was so upsetting to hear of the two hugely destructive fires in the Costa del Sol, Sisu and Laguna Village. It is the last thing these business owners need at such a bad time for the tourist industry on the coast. The pictures of the charred building remains were heartbreaking. I really hope the community will come together and create some kind of benefit for them, if not to help them with their losses then just to show that they have some support. I don’t know if that kind of thing happens in Spain but in Portland, where I am originally from, that is the kind of thing that we would do. I would like to send all my support to anybody that may have been employed there or who was involved in the fighting of the fires. Regards Sarah Seitz
Already woke Dear Euro Weekly News, What a brilliant article by Nora Johnson about M&S and BBC being two dinosaurs that need to become relevant to the majority of the British public. I, and probably many others, never watch BBC Left-wing, woke biased fake news, but Google it on my smartphone as Nora says! Well done. Brian Johnston Benalmadena Costa
OUR VIEW Red list rage
AIR bridges, red lists and the Great British quarantine debate. What on earth is going on? Country in, country out, country back in again. No wonder holidaymakers are tearing their hair out with confusion. After UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock’s comments on British TV last week, travellers already in Portugal started panic buying flights to get them back as soon as possible, his vague replies, when questioned about an imminent quarantine decision, left them second-guessing Parliaments decisions. Then, what happens, they leave it alone, well kind of. They left it for travellers to England and Northern Ireland, but Scotland and Wales decided to make their own decision and lower the drawbridge on the air bridge, they put a quarantine in place for those coming from Portugal. Now holidaymakers or those who wish to return to second homes or families are living in an added fear or confusion if they too will be put under this strain and uncertainty. The Scots were already hoping for the quarantine to be lifted between them and holiday favourite, Spain, but in adding Portugal to a red list the chances of that happening are slim to none. Sure, people understand that as Covid figures rise in each or any country there is a fear of transmission between countries. Should people be able to make up their own minds about travelling? Especially if it puts their livelihood or even mental state at risk. The news of a testing facility at Heathrow sitting unused was a revelation, who knew? If that was a way of allowing you in without quarantine you can be sure that everybody would be heading there, wouldn’t they?

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK UK government could slash holiday quarantine from a fortnight to eight days “Given the poor controls and monitoring of those supposedly quarantining, frankly academic and this is more to do with politics than health.”

Rising sun Dear Leapy Lee, I have read your column since moving to Spain. I believe the virus was introduced around the world by China so it would disrupt the world trade so they could buy companies cheap and also buy world debt so they could control the world. I believe the countries around the world should not pay the debt and tell the Chinese to put it where the sun don’t shine. Also, ban Chinese goods. Yours sincerely Mr Charles Roy Hogg
Welcome back Dear Euro Weekly News, I read in your paper that The Food Fairies are about to make a welcome return to the Costa del Sol. Must I say I have missed reading about the great help they gave families during the first parts of the virus and the initial shock of isolation. I totally understand why they have made a comeback, families are still in need. My wife and I often take care packages to our local food bank when able and it is upsetting to see young children waiting for their next meal. After the impact the virus has had on employment I am sure there must be even more families going without than before, such a shame, I am happy they will get some help from these magnificent girls. It would be great if more people could follow their lead and come up with their own aid groups. Gerard Cummings La Cala de Mijas
Skullduggery Dear Euro Weekly News, We are back in Spain after a 12-month absence and loved this article, as with all your others! You are bang on and that was probably why the original method of marking was fairer but did not produce the marks that a small proportion thought they should get! However, you were diplomatic not to mention that a proportion of those going to Uni are only doing so to put off the evil day when they will have to work for a living and to have a good time. Again, you were spot on with your remarks about Boris and I would wager that the irate farmer was not a Conservative! Keep up the excellent articles and maybe you could focus on Knickerless ( I call her) Sturgeon, if ever there was a person full of her own importance, it is her. If Boris said something was black, she would argue it was white. Best regards, Dave, Torremolinos

Famous quote
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
Even if the opposite to what you want happens, it could prove useful. One clue to this week’s planetary crossword puzzle is ‘What word could also mean success?’ Check it out, and make it work for you.
One thing is certain, when you come through this week’s restless planetary antics, you won’t be totally the same Piscean who walked in. Whether you’re figuring out numbers, analysing your dreams, or getting into a playfully social mood, there’ll be much to enjoy and put to the test.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The solar eclipse in your opposite sign of Aries intensifies your willpower. Before you say ‘go,’ find out where you stand. It might pay you to leave things be for a little longer to see if anything begins to change. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The planets mobilise your streak of Scorpio daring, but don’t stretch your limits. Your most effective weapon against personal and work-related pitfalls is your ability to be objective. Your desire to make specific situations and conversations work needs to be combined with your faith that they will work. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) The main gist of the solar eclipse in fiery Aries and the link between plucky Mars and your ruler friendly Jupiter will stir surprises. Whether you create the right atmosphere all round depends on how you interpret other people’s views. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Hard-working, enterprising and self-sacrificing are just some of the words that describe your zodiac sign. It will be these qualities that count. Friday will boost your powers of persuasion, but you won’t have too much to complain about if you follow this lucky trend into next week’s encouraging tide. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Eager Mars meets affluent Jupiter and enriches your financial forecast. It might show a foretaste of money to come, or on-stream benefits. If you intend to make alterations to your personal and home interests, you'll undoubtedly cope with both offbeat and upbeat activities.
Albert Einstein Credit: Twitter
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Education, media, creative and social connections are given star merit. The solar eclipse in your own sign bursts with vitality and success, more so for an array of bold moves, replacements and makeovers covering your personal affairs. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Stand by for a week of whoosh and whirl. More importantly, try to avoid getting tongue-tied or dogmatic on Tuesday and Friday. Promising potentials appear, especially if you spruce up your competitive streak. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Throughout this fortunate week, whatever else you decide, refuse to discard your hopes and wishes. As a Gemini, you like to have two strings to your bow of life, which gives you an alternative option, especially if the going gets tough.

11 Tips to Help Someone Stay Strong and How to Avoid a Relapse in Recovery From a Mental Health Disorder MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED 1. Develop new tools to help you manage stress. Stress is a common trigger for almost any mental health disorder. The more stress you have in your life, the more likely you will be tempted to resort to old thought patterns and behaviours. Try them out to determine the methods that you enjoy most and practise them on a regular basis. 2. Avoid old habits and patterns You will need to make a conscious effort to stay away from some of the issues, situations, or triggers that put you at risk. Avoid the temptation to avoid change. The ‘new and improved you’ will have a difficult time succeeding if you keep resorting to what you did in the past. Change is hard. 3. Get help Seek help immediately for any serious mental health issues that suddenly crop up. If you can address these unresolved issues and work through them, your risk of relapse will be much lower. 4. Watch Out for Substance Abuse It’s common for young people that struggle with mental health disorders to self-medicate. Even though alcohol is a depressant, it’s often used to numb the side effects or symptoms of depression. 5. Stick to Your Treatment Plan After you’ve completed a treatment programme, it’s crucial that you follow the plan you developed with your therapists and doctors. If
you are supposed to attend regular therapy sessions, don’t skip appointments. If medications are involved in your treatment routine, follow the orders for the prescription. 6. Have a Backup Plan If you experience a setback, make sure you have a plan in place. Mistakes happen. Knowing what you might do ahead of time can be very effective when you feel you are being tested by tough times. The worst thing you can do is give up. 7. Find healthy new ways to have fun The old behaviour patterns may have taken a lot of time and energy. Replace them with activities that add joy to your life. Consider trying a new hobby or sport. Having a new interest can make you a lot less vulnerable to relapse. 8. Educate yourself Read books or network with others that are actively engaged in strengthening their recovery. Find out what worked for other people. The more you learn, the more coping skills you’ll have for sustaining your recovery. 9. Build a strong support system The more people someone has in their life that want to lift them up, the odds of them falling down decrease. Deepen your ties to the ones you trust. Special friends, family members, classmates, co-workers, or therapists can be great resources when you need them the most. 10. Remember your goals Don’t lose sight of the big picture. Continue to strive for your vision of the way you want your life to be. Along the way, set smaller attainable goals, too. This can help keep you focused and on track. 11. Know that this too will pass If you experience a relapse, try to learn from it. It’s important to remember that relapse episodes are often a normal and natural part of recovery. If you can benefit from these experiences, you can become even stronger and more resilient. Love Ms Bipolar X

You Are What You Feel. You Create What You Think
DIONE LOCKYER BEYOND our physical body, our organs and bones, we are energy. Yo u m a y h a v e h e a rd the saying ‘Like attracts like’ or ‘Ask, Believe, Receive.’ Many simple phrases capture the concept of the Law Of Attraction. Everything we create comes from a force of energy. That energy starts from our thoughts, however, before our thoughts, come the feelings. If we connect a strong feeling or emotion to a thought, it is the universal law that this MUST become an experience. For example; If you want to spring clean the house, you do not aimlessly wander around and start cleaning. You have the idea (the thought), followed by the feeling and then take action. Sometimes we ‘feel’ like doing something, and other times, we don’t. Either way, it is produced by either a thought or a feeling. Our emotions are what create our manifestations. The two most important emotions to ensure you manifest your desires are Passion and Excitement. Take a look back at a time in your life, where you felt genuine passion and excitement. It could have been with regards to a new job, a promotion or the thought of having a child. You may not have been aware, but the moment you felt that genuine passion and excitement, you were visualising the event and by visualising, you were manifesting the thought
and feeling into an experience. The fact that 3 per cent of the population earn approximately 97 per cent of all income, isn’t down to luck. It is down to the fact that they believe and live by the Law Of Attraction. Many people live their lives, the way society tells them to. We become a creature of habit, comparing ourselves to people around us. By doing this, we live our lives with limited beliefs, therefore, creating a limited lifestyle. One way to create a limitless life is affir mations. Affirmations are a short statement, that you repeat all day, every day, but with feeling. For example; If you have a bad ‘feeling’ towards money, then the law is to create a further lack of money. However, by using an
affir mation such as, ‘money comes to me easily and frequently,’ this can change. It is important to note that but just repeating the words, nothing will change. You have to FEEL and BELIEVE in what you are saying. This particular affirmation is one I put to the test. I even went a step further and created a cheque for a specific amount. I held that cheque in my hand, every night before I went to bed and visualised receiving it. I created the feeling, the thought and the visualisation. Within a week, I received the exact amount I’d asked for. Whilst this may seem far fetched for some, that is because you live with limited beliefs. Why not give it a try yourself? What do you have to lose?

BARRY DUKE LAST Saturday I posted a wedding picture on Facebook to celebrate the third anniversary of my marriage to Marcus, my companion of 23 years. One friend commented ‘My, oh my, you do scrub up well!’ That got me thinking about the days when my entire career in PR and publishing was spent being suited and booted. So much money was sloshing about in Thatcher’s ‘greed is good’ Britain at the time that soon I discovered I could afford a suit tailored in Saville Row. But all the good feelings I had when I strolled into Gieves & Hawkes gave way to embarrassment and fury when a supercilious assistant gave me the once over and said ‘I’m sure we can create something suitable for a portly young gentleman such as yourself.’ Portly? I’d never been called portly in my life, and I was mortified. Truth was that the good life had endowed me with a sizable gut, but
Suited and booted: those days are so over!
WEDDING DAY: But I prefer to dress as an old biker dude. I’d been in denial over my weight gain. So I slunk out, and vowed never to return until I’d slimmed down. After regaining the shape I had in
my teens through diet and strenuous exercise, 18 months later I got my first bespoke suit, a seductive black silk number, just in time for a company dinner at posh restau-
rant in Soho. The event was intended as a bonding session for two groups working for separate companies that had merged. My team comprised mainly
down-to-earth East-Enders. The other was made up of insufferable toffs and toffettes, and as soon as the two sides met, you could cut the air of hostility with a chainsaw. Somehow, despite their side and our trading dirty looks and insults, we actually managed to end the meal without violence. But then a creep - an 80s version of Jacob Rees-Mogg - decided to ‘kill’ a profiterole served as dessert by placing it on the table and banging it with a fist. The result: the whole of the front of my new suit got spattered with cream. I grabbed his tie, dragged him over the table and onto the floor and began exchanging blows. Within seconds a full-scale brawl you know the kind, there’s one in every western movie ever made ensued. Staff managed to break up the fight involving around 30 and we were all tossed out and warned never, EVER to return. When I became self-employed about 30 years ago, I donated my entire wardrobe to a charity shop, and never wore a suit again until the day I married. Nowadays I’m far happier looking like an old biker dude than an 80s yuppie.

gard, but Southgate does have other options, he eventually brought two of them on - Jack Grealish and Mason Mount. Kane fancies himself as more of a No 10 than a striker, which made it all the more curious that he spent so much of the game so far forward. That had the effect of pushing Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho further wide, to occasionally get in the way of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kieran Trippier. Those very names raise the question of why he selected three right-backs but no leftback? Asked about criticism of Southgate’s tactics, Kane replied: “I think as England manager, you’re always going to come under certain scrutiny at times but, look, we’re a strong group, we know what we’re aiming towards. The only positives for England from the two games recently played was the fact that they return home unbeaten, after having given debuts to four more players in last night’s match.
GINS (Golf International Nerja Society) have been keeping themselves busy with two outings. AÑORETA - Monday August 31 Well, what a slog!! The tees were all the way back very near the white tees, hot and quite windy so the scores are a reflection of the difficulty, the ladies were not too bad, but they were also well back and it was a lady that walked away with the overall prize, Marisa Garcia with 29pts. Very well played! She beat the everpresent John Millward, with a better back nine. So, the first man with 29pts was John Millward, next best with 28pts was yours truly, beating both Charles Camponovo and Steve Long on the back nine. BAVIERA - Tuesday, September 1 Eleven players took part in an Individual Stableford competition this week, with David Brooks having the best of the day. With a score of 34 points, David narrowly beat Mark Tasker and John Blanco both scoring 33 points. Any disappointment felt by John Blanco soon vanished when he took home the rollover two’s pot.
