BEGINNING OF THE END
PRIME MINISTER SANCHEZ has outlined the measures involved in Spain’s de-escalation phase, this entire process has been divided into four separate phases and will last at least a month and a half. This plan will be gradual and moving to the next phase is dependent on the progress of the coronavirus epidemic. To keep control of the virus’s rate of infection each phase lasts a minimum of two weeks, as this is how long it takes to incubate the coronavirus. The de-escalation phases will be applied asymmetrically amongst autonomous communities, however they will all be coordinated by the same central government rules. We currently find ourselves in Phase 0, the preparation stage, which has included some relief measures such as the recent change allowing children out for walks. This will also allow some businesses that operate by appointment to begin to offer services from Monday, May 4, and for restaurants to serve food to take away, said Sánchez. Individual training and walks will be permitted from Saturday as the
prime minister previously hinted. Phase 1 will allow small retail and trade establishments to reopen; terraces will also be allowed to open but at a limited capacity and always when respecting the new protocols. Individuals over the age of 65, the most vulnerable risk group, will be given a designated time to use these shops to ensure safety. Businesses taking advanced bookings can open as well as cultural establishments but with limited capacity and face masks will be strongly recommended when using public transport. Hotels and tourist accommodations will reopen, however all common spaces must be closed. Phase 2 is the intermediate transitional period in which restaurants can begin serving customers inside but at only under strict security measures. Cultural events can restart but with a limit of 40 people in attendance. Phase 3 is the final stage, although face masks will still be recommended, if all measures and coronavirus figures correlate effectively then general mobility across the country will be more flexible.
PM ANNOUNCES: De-escalation to be gradual and depend on region. Furthermore, maximum capacity at establishments will be increased to 50 per cent.

New normality THE plan for the transition to the new normality that the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has presented this Tuesday, contemplates a deescalation of confinement and an economic revival with a different pace in each province, depending on the health and epidemiological situation. Although the Executive has not set specific dates for each phase, it has advanced that the intention is to extend it at most until the end of June, just before the strong summer season begins. Although no specific dates have been set, there is an approximate calendar. The four phases of the transition to the new normal plan will run until the end of June. A minimum period of two weeks will pass between each phase, which will be extended if the markers indicate so. On May 4, all the territories will enter Phase 0 except the Balearics and Canaries, which will enter Phase 1.

knowledged in the 19th century, with the labour movements and trade union growing, several days were selected by the trade unionists as a day for celebrating labour. May 1 was chosen to be International Workers’ Day to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago when there was a general strike for the eight-hour workday. The strike turned into riots that led to the deaths of workers and policemen and the execution of four labour leaders. In the past, the symbolic
day was marked by protests and demonstrations across the countries that still had unfair laws regarding workers’ rights. However, today it is a national holiday that celebrates the social and economic achievements of workers all across the world. In Spain, it is known as Día del Trabajador or Primero de Mayo. The holiday had actually been banned by the Franco regime in 1937 and was not re-introduced as a public holiday until 1978.

A REPORT by the Ministry of Transport has shown that no municipality in Spain fulfils confinement better than Benalmadena. With 76 per cent of residents not making any journeys from home. Statistics were collected for up to 29 Andalucian towns, with data provided by the Orange company of some 10 million mobiles and experience accumulated by the Nommon firm, who prepared a 2018 report. The sampling collects which devices were moved at least 500 metres from the homes. Until confinement was decreed, more than 20 million people travelled at least three times a day every day and that only 15 spent the entire day at home. Now the national average indicates that nearly 30 million stayed at home.

Sad goodbye BIOPARC Fuengirola sadly said goodbye this week to Asmara, a tigress of the Sumatra subspecies who has lived in the Malaga park since it was inaugurated in mid-2001. Although June 20 was her birthday, Asmara, at 19, was already the longest-living tigress in the European Conservation Programme and the third longest-running in the Sumatra International Tiger Conservation Programme. Throughout her life, Asmara has enjoyed good health. In
addition to being in an affable environment and being cared for by professionals whose sole mission has been to ensure their well-being, Asmara has had several young and lived with different males. According to the veterinarian, Jesús Recuero, “Asmara has shown us what a tigress's character is like: firm and self-assured in front of her fellow tigers, at the same time that she was relaxed and confident in the presence of her usual caregivers.”

Pandemic survivor IN 1918, a very young Ana del Valle suffered and recovered from Spanish Flu and now 102 years later, she has beaten the coronavirus to the joy of her family in Ronda. She was one of the people bused from their care home in Alcala del Valle to La Linea de la Concepcion because so many staff and residents had caught the virus and there were better facilities to cope with the elderly infected in the Cadiz town. It didn’t all go smoothly as family members initially had no idea what was going on and when the coach
carrying the elderly arrived in La Linea, a small band of people stoned the coach which was being escorted by the National Police. In the event, according to Ana’s daughter-in-law, Paqui Sánchez in an interview with Charry TV Ronda, the way in which she was treated was exceptional with a team of Samur emergency specialists, a group of psychologists and two doctors on hand for those infected. Now recovering her strength, Ana is even up and walking with the help of a frame and nurses.

For example, at the end of March, a group of about 100 Moroccans embarked on two inflatable boats to return illegally to their country and bypass the restrictions decreed to stop the virus from spreading both in Spain and in Morocco. Each passenger paid around €5,400 for the trip, which ended on a beach in Larache, in northwestern Morocco. According to police sources, the price of a place on a boat from the Moroccan coast to Spain, that is, the A DAD, who dumped his young son on the hard shoulder, has been arrested after weeks of trying to locate him. The man was driving along the A-44 in Granada on March 19 when he came across a routine State of Alarm police check. But rather than stopping, he sped off in a ‘reckless and dangerous manner,’ forcing a traffic officer to move out of the way to avoid being run over. Police jumped into a patrol car and chased

An internal report of the European Commission illustrates the flexibility of the mafias: “Migrant smugglers show extreme flexibility and adaptability of their criminal businesses, and are now also organising irregular trips of Moroccan migrants fleeing from the Covid-19 in the oppo-
site direction, that is, from Spain to Morocco,” the document cites. The closure of Morocco’s borders on March 13, has not allowed the return of its nationals, despite the efforts of the Spanish Foreign Ministry, which has left hundreds of Moroccans stranded far from their homes and their families.
Dad caught the suspect, who reportedly stopped briefly on the hard shoulder to let a child out, and made off at ‘a crazy speed.’ This bought him a little time as officers immediately went to the aid of the child, left alone on the motorway, while the father pulled off in the direction of the town of Peligros. The Traffic Offences Investigation Group of
the Granada Guardia Civil managed to identify the suspect and his address, returning his son to the family home. But they were then forced to spend weeks watching the man’s house every day until he returned and they were able to arrest him. The man has been reported for ‘abandonment of his minor child’ to the Granada Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office.

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches
MOST people will agree, the ‘lock-downs’ approved by governments to combat the Covid-19 pandemic will most certainly deliver a blow to large sections of the general economy. Which in turn will almost certainly see an increase in the number of owners unable or reluctant to pay their community fees.
COMMUNITY CASH FLOW AND COVID-19 This is almost a repetition of the 2008 global financial crisis that saw a surge in unemployment and the closure of many businesses, especially across Spain. As the cash flow dried up so did payments to many communities. If the impact of this pending downturn is not managed then it is highly likely many communities will want to cancel planned improvements, cut back on maintenance
and suspend some services. However such economies may not alleviate all the problems of all communities and some could even go broke. Admittedly some communities will fare much better than others. Well run communities with healthy reserves will weather the storm and be able to carry their debtors until things eventually pick up, others will not. Consequently many
communities of owners, their presidents and administrators will once again opt not to renew established contracts with trusted service providers and cancel others in favour of what looks to be on the surface, cheaper and better deals. There maybe some advantages to be had but in general if the previous lessons of false economy were not learnt, that choosing too cheap was not good then and equally
will not be now, then the painful experience of communities paying twice to rectify unprofessional work may well return. The pattern is predictable. Some owners will or have already asked their community president to forgo collecting fees due now, for extra-ordinary work or costs previously approved at a general meeting of owners. Other owners, citing hard times, will seek condonation of their unpaid community fees. However bills from suppliers and service providers undoubtedly still need to be paid so to suspend all, in fact any contributions still due from owners would not be wise. Furthermore it is basically not within a president’s legal powers to do so and should a president go ahead and relieve an owner of their financial obligations then according to the Law of Horizontal Property, (the law that governs all communities throughout Spain) the community could hold the president responsible for any resulting consequences or damages that might arise. On the other hand owners, especially those in diffi-
FEATURE
culty and debt, should know, a president cannot take an owner to court without prior authorisation from the community approved at a general meeting of owners. Thereby giving the owner an opportunity to attend any such meeting, explain their situation, propose a solution and hopefully reach an amicable agreement with the other owners. Either given time to pay or to make their payments in instalments. In addition, if to encourage owners to pay their community fees quickly, the community had approved a prompt payment discount, then provided the debtor adheres to the terms of the new agreement, the community is entitled to offer that same discount. As many have commented these are strange days. For balance while continuing to press ahead and colllect income will help to ensure proper upkeep of a community, for owners and presidents to be simultaneously empathic with other owners less fortunate will better ensure the survival of a community of owners for what will be as of now, unknown difficulties - for an unknown period of time. We as the solicitors for Intercala Administration advise our readers to stay safe, be careful and always to seek competent advice in all matters regarding the law.

Musicians lose income MANY expatriate musicians in Spain have found themselves without work overnight following the cancel lation of all public performances which has hit their pockets dramati cally. Many are doing their best to keep occupied and performing online free of charge, but that doesn’t help them especially as most are not eligi ble to receive benefits for various reasons and live music won’t be back for a long time. One possible hope of support has disappeared as late last year, inter national corporation Google suggest
By John Smith ed that it was considering a feature that would allow people to donate money to websites to support musi cians, news publishers and bloggers. It was to be the equivalent of a tipping option so that those visiting the sites could instruct Google through its platform option to give a oneoff donation of up to $5 and this was trialled for a short period of time. Sadly however, it appears that this option has now been scrapped and Google has itself been seeing a loss
of ad revenue so is exploring other means of engaging customers. Clearly the most successful artists have ongoing royalty income and like the Rolling Stones are still able to release new material thanks to the fact that top artists often have their own home studios as well as access to top remote engineers and producers. It’s not just artists but promoters who are suffering and it is very likely that major stars who were due to perform in Fuengirola and Marbella this summer have been paid signifi cant advances.
A SPANISH nonexecutive director of the Bank of East Asia (BEA), Isidro Fainé Casas, has resigned from his position due to the coronavirus pan demic and the distance between Spain and Hong Kong.

Sr Fainé explained that it has be come increasingly difficult to devote the time and effort necessary amid the current situation, but the bank has engaged him as a special advisor.

Yes, they will. The validity of Spanish YOU AND THE driving permits LAW IN SPAIN that expire during the State of Alarm has been extended through the State of Alarm and for 60 days after the lockdown ends. This means that, if the lockdown is extended into May or even until June, you will have 60 days from the end of the period to renew your driving licence. This comes as part of a relief package passed by the government that includes extension for vehicle inspections, visas for for eigners, mortgage extensions and foreclosures, rental contracts, and many other administrative deadlines. Even so, it is wise to check on these measures regularly because they are modified from time to time.

Dyson order cancelled WHEN it was announced that James Dyson had been asked by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to produce 10,000 ventilators for the NHS there were numerous accusations of nepotism. Dyson was a wellknown supporter of the Conservative Party and as his company had no experience of pro duction of such machines it certainly appeared to many to be a strange de cision. Now it has emerged that despite mobilising his workforce to effectively invent a new style of ventilator, the company was unable to obtain certifi

UK grant loophole TIM FARRON MP has written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer complaining that there is a loophole which is allowing second home owners to claim millions of pounds from the fund intended
for struggling small, local businesses. By stating that their properties are available to let, they become small businesses, have reductions in council tax and can ob-
tain up to £10,000 (€11,500) in grants. The Liberal Democrat estimates that at least 1,500 owners in the Lake District have earned up to £15 (€17) million from this.
cation from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). He has told his staff that the order has now been cancelled and that the company is currently left with a de velopment bill of £20 million (€23 million) but he has vowed not to ap ply for any state financial support to cover this amount and that if he is unable to sell the product elsewhere, then the company will write off the money. It appears that prior to Boris John son’s isolation due to Covid19, a number of senior Tory backbenchers had criticised the way in which Dyson was promoting his involvement as a PR opportunity. Many companies were asked to try to produce ventilators in order to as sist the government which was late ‘getting off the blocks’ and not only did it appear to miss the EU procure ment opportunity it was also beaten by the German government when it went to obtain a supply overseas. Now British company Penlon has received an order to supply 15,000 of its approved ventilators.

GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY I REMEMBER a time when social media was a bit of fun. Even if I was taking a few days in the country, away from it all, Facebook still made me feel good. Looking at others posting their smiling photos, made me smile. It wasn’t so long ago, that people posted happy photos of them lunching with friends at beach clubs, or dancing at glamorous events. These days, my feed is filled with angry posts from people who are clearly struggling with being trapped at home. People I had assumed were light-hearted, and above resorting to online arguments over who claims to know more about Covid-19, politics, or religion. It’s as if suddenly, everyone is an expert on all things Chinese, having sourced their knowledge on Wikipedia. I drew the line and ended the call, when one FaceTime caller told me that my beloved Jack Russell, Henry, would be seen as a canapé in China. It’s as if ‘wine-o’clock’ starts earlier each day, and the rants too. Normal people, shouting at their phones, in an argument with themselves, as nobody really cares about what you’re saying. At numerous points during the week, I was almost ready to hit delete profile, just to escape. On the subject of escape, I stare at my diary, filled with endless cancelled plans. Cannes Film Festival - No. Monaco Grand Prix - No. Royal Ascot - No. The list of my usual summer, goes on, and each event has a red line through
BASE CAMP: Today my bed is my world. it. Over the years, these dates have given some structure, to a season otherwise filled with little more than the beach. Luckily, my house is right on the beach, so I won’t have far to go this year. Summer 2020 will be a very localised situation. As the week rolled on, I found myself setting up base camp from my bed. It’s as if everything I need is now located by my bed. If I’m downstairs and can’t find my, phone, glasses, diary, lighter, dog... chances are they’re at, or in my bed. I had to conduct a conference call on Thursday afternoon, and of course as the stressful work call went on, I found myself saying things like “I won’t leave my desk until we find a solution.” Leave my desk? I hadn’t even got any trousers on. I was in bed! I now rise early, swim, work out, make coffee and it’s back to bed. Some days, when I feel like it, I even take lunch in bed. I binge watch Netflix in bed. I write newspaper articles in bed. Bed is now Caput Mundi, and just like Marco Anneo Lucano who claimed it to be Rome in 61AD, for me, bed is now my great empire, from which I oversee work, banking, dining, and the greatest lockdown past time of all, sleep. Over the coming days, before getting into a heated row on Facebook, with people who don’t deserve your time, stop. Ask yourself, is there something else I could be doing? Read a book, tend to the garden, clean your pool. Anything is better than bad energy. Stay safe / stay sane x

View and order online THE Team at Neater H e a t e r, l i k e e v e r y body else have been stunned by the impact the Coronavirus has had on our community, and hope that we are now over the worst. One thing that the lockdown has caused is for many people to make a temporary move towards online purchasing. Neater Heater customers are no exception. Although Neater Heater has an excellent network of Agents where you can view and purchase their heaters, they also have an interactive website for customers who are either unable, or do not wish to visit
an agent. Including customers who find themselves house bound during a global pandemic! Throughout this crisis, Neater Heater customers have been able to view, order and purchase from their online store. For over five years they have had an excellent relationship with MRW courier services that has resulted in their mainland Spain and Balearic customers receiving their heaters within two or three days of purchasing them. Being a small company, all their customers are important to them, so they take great care to ensure that your experience
with them is entirely satisfactory. Most customers with basic computer skills are able to negotiate the website with relative ease. They have an FAQ section which covers most of the Questions that they have been Frequently Asked, and sections dedicated to the several makes and models that Neater Heater have for sale. Although originally supplying exclusively Norwegian convector heaters manufactured by Beha and Adax, they have, for several years now, been supplying Vigo heaters and towel rails made by Mastas in Turkey.
NEATER HEATERS: Are still available through the company’s website.
If, during this lockdown, your thoughts include heating your home, whether it is a complete system, or just the guest bedroom, we highly recommend that you visit www.neaterheater.es and have a look at what they can do for you. www.neaterheater.es • Tel 634 312 171

JUST MADE FOR SPITTING IMAGE NORA JOHNSON BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
IN a battle to save his presidency this November, Trump is busy scapegoating the World Health Organisation to mask his own deadly inaction in the USA. Similarly, in an attempt to perk up the flagging economy, he’s accused by US governors of making “delusional” and “dangerous” statements to roll-back safe, stay-at-home restrictions without a robust and widespread system of testing in place. How to make an election drama out of a crisis: Trump has never met a crisis he couldn’t turn into a campaign opportunity. His thin skin, his constant personal attacks, his ability to drive divisions between people and promote infighting to deflect criticism from himself, his willingness to blame others for his failures, but to take credit for their achievements... are all typical examples of Trumpism. His playground tactic of redirecting
TRUMP: All hat and no cattle.
accusations of misconduct back at his accuser is especially childish, petty… and surprisingly effective. You’d think pseudo-reality shows such as ‘The Apprentice’ were unscripted, but I’m beginning to wonder. Given The Donald’s less than masterly way with words, how could he ever have got the job? Why was everyone taken in by it all? His signature policy was he’d build ‘The Wall’ and Mexico would pay for it. Right! He’s all hat and no cattle, as they say in Texas. Twenty-three years after it last aired, ‘Spitting Image’ is reportedly
set to return to television screens - featuring an S&M-clad Vladimir Putin, Zuckerberg (regrettably, not S&Mclad!) and Trump whose tweets are composed by his, err, rear. I was wistfully thinking that these times are made for ‘Spitting Image.’ Some countries seem ruled by puppets, and most look like they’ve spent a while mouldering away in a storage unit. I happily await the opportunity to be offended and entertained whilst the pompous and powerful at least give us all a good laugh in these challenging times. Meanwhile, fortunately, in this troubled world with the media full of alternate doom, gloom and clapping, we have this little light relief provided daily and free of charge by... The Donald! Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘No Safe Place,’ ‘Betrayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.net) available online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback and audiobook. All profits to Costa del Sol Cudeca cancer charity.

Maintaining your Travel Insurance in Lockdown? Crazy or Savvy? Christina Sharp GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL
PROTECTION: Be insured.
christina@globelink.co.uk.
COVID-19 remains centre stage, impacting the lives of millions. The past weeks have seen unprecedented change to the worldwide travel landscape, as country after country successively imposes unprecedented restrictions to combat the spread of Coronavirus. Everyone’s had travel plans indiscriminately impacted by Covid-19. So at a time when you can’t travel, why on earth would you consider buying, or renewing your Annual Travel Insurance? A waste of money surely? We beg to differ. Read on to see why you would be crazy not
to maintain your travel insurance cover. All Travel Insurance providers are different, but with Globelink, renewing your Annual Travel Insurance before it expires and maintaining continuous cover means that you benefit from continued protection for any pre-booked trips you have in place. So those trips you have rescheduled, or coming up later this year or early next year, stay
protected against cancellation risks. If you opt to let your cover lapse, you wont have that protection in place. You also benefit from today’s prices - let’s face it, Insurance premiums aren’t going to reduce are they? And you’ll have the security of knowing that your insurance is all sorted once travel restrictions are lifted. You’ll struggle to find any travel insurance who will cover any-
thing to do with Covid-19, but pandemic aside, the FCO always recommends you have travel insurance in place for all those unexpected things that can go wrong. What if you have to cancel your trip for unforeseen medical reasons? Or while away your luggage goes missing; or your money and Passport. Or worse still you could get ill or have an accident. The FCO gives several examples of sky high overseas medical costs, including £100,000 for a stomach bug treated in the USA. See the FCO’s guidance on foreign travel insurance for more information https://www.gov.uk/guidance/ foreign-travel-insurance. Travelling may not be top of the agenda right now, but why not use your quarantine time to plan your perfect Post-Coron-
avirus trips? After all, with time on your hands it’s a great way to get organised, research, explore what’s available and work out budgets for your next trips. Especially as airlines and travel operators are releasing 2021 flights and packages early. Try an ‘inspire me’ tool such as easyJet’s tool to help you decide from a range of factors based on budget, departing airport, dates and your key travel factors, such as a beach getaway, snowy expedition, island paradise or an action-packed adventure. Or Lonely Planet’s destination finder to explore which continent, country and city you fancy next? Stay safe and whenever and wherever you travel, always check FCO’s travel advice to help you stay safe and travel aware.

WOMEN WORKING U Chrissie Cremore
Zoe Parsons AS a strong, business owner, how have you got through the health crisis? “As a Counsellor who helps people who have experienced narcissist or domestic abuse, unfortunately, the need for my services has increased. Therefore, I have made myself more available to help people, and provide resources where they can go to get help.” When isolation is over what do you plan to do? “As a survivor of domestic violence, I know how important it is to not feel alone when you have experienced abuse, so I will continue to provide that safe emotional place for anyone who needs it.”
“PERHAPS it’s fortunate that I have an inbuilt preservation reserve, having spent three years in a hospital cot and learning to walk again aged seven,” muses PAWS-PATAS animal charity PR and fundraising coordinator Chrissie Cremore on why she’s doing alright under the health crisis restrictions. “Keep positive with a sense of humour,” is Chrissie’s lockdown survival tip.
Sam Blake SAM BLAKE spent many years living and working around the world and moved to Sotogrande with husband Colin five years ago. She is the CEO of Formula Won Media International which is a global media recruitment agency which she runs from her Spanish office and therefore understands the concept of remote working very clearly.
Geraldine Dos Santos GERALDINE DOS SANTOS, Drama teacher As a strong, business owner, how have you got through the health crisis? “I am a drama tutor and dance teacher, as you can imagine my work is very expressive and physical. However, I have managed to hold biw e e k l y classes online using Zoom. It has really kept my student’s confidence and fitness levels up.” What will you do after isolation? “One of my classes was preparing for a show, we are looking to get back into full training as soon as possible. Also, I miss dancing with my friends at Salsa nights.”
Simone Thorpe MUM and businesswoman, Simon Thorpe, advises keeping busy in lockdown, as she has been forced to do with the closure of Veintiocho Restaurant in Hondon de los Frailes on the Costa Blanca. She told EWN: “I start each day with a list of things I want to achieve, it gives a sense of purpose, like in our case, redecorate the whole of the restaurant. “At the beginning of the lockdown we had a huge amount of fresh produce so spent the first week making
“Overthinking and worrying doesn’t help, and this chapter won’t last forever. Life happens whilst making plans!”
Derry Jacobs The pandemic saw her business come to an abrupt halt as overnight clients stopped recruiting, but she keeps in regular contact with them and sees the future as a huge opportunity for her with more people working from home and remote interviews becoming the norm.
DERRYN JACOBS, Sunset Creative Media. “Running an online business, I consider myself quite fortunate during the current crisis. However, with many businesses closing there was a real risk of me losing clients if I wasn't able to support them. I increased my on-

KAREN WOLFSON is originally from Australia but came to Benahavis via London some eight years ago and is in charge of marketing for a major hospitality company on the Costa del Sol. She is currently observing the lockdown whilst trying to make sure that her elderly parents who live nearby are keeping well. With two dogs and a new partner in life, Karen has found plenty to keep herself occupied and was also instrumental in putting together the marketing and promotion for last week’s Joys Live online Anniversary Party as well as planning marketing for the reopening of the businesses.

And she is getting children involved too, organising online competitions to keep them entertained in lockdown, Helen advises: “This won’t be forever.

UNDER LOCKDOWN Maria Wilson
Hollie Newell hands out advice chutneys to sell when we reopen. “Having daily chats and emails with my assesor, keeping things up to date, and helping sort finances for our staff. We’ve created a restaurant WhatsApp group for our staff, which is great... all offering support to each other, helping through bad days and having lots of giggles.
HOLLIE NEWELL moved to Turre when she was just 18 and qualified as a Zumba teacher a year later. Hollie, who has a dance and fitness background, points out that “our bodies aren’t on lockdown, so we can still keep ourselves fit during quarantine. “It’s hard not having a normal everyday routine,” Hollie admits, “but some way we have to make the most of it. “Always try to find the positive in every-
thing.” Thanks to social media Hollie is able to share her love of movement and exercise with others. “I have been recording Zumba videos for people to work out at home whenever they like: no obligations, nice, casual and fun. “The aim is to keep the body and mind working while we are not allowed out.”
Kelly Jordan, Teacher AS a strong woman living in Spain how have you been wearing your crown during the crisis? “I haven’t really stopped, I am a teacher in an English school so have been doing online classes for my students as this crisis can’t allow them to get behind. I also have an Instagram food page so have
been making new creations with the limited fresh produce I can find.” What are you looking forward to after the lockdown is lifted? “When I get out of lockdown I want to make a meal for my friends with all the new recipes I have tried and am looking forward to seeing the school kids.”
Steph Smith STEPH SMITH and Julie Law of Yorskhire Linen on the Costa del Sol have been back at work for a fortnight. Steph, who is based at the Mijas branch, while Julie is in Marbella, said: “We have been back at work since April 14.

credible. So many people are doing up their homes or working on projects while they have the time. “It was very frustrating being at home, especially watching money coming out of the bank and not being able to get back to work to do something about it. “I would say to people still in confinement, stay positive, keep your head together and make plans so that when the time comes, you are ready to hit the road.”
MARIA WILSON is a passionate fundraiser for local cancer charities through her group Maria and the Pink Ladies. As a cancer survivor herself, Maria has been in the vanguard to get people to take up early cancer screening tests, which is also promoted through her involvement in the AACC charity based in Playa Flamenca. Maria says on Facebook: “One thing this whole Covid-19 situation has taught me is that we have one life to live. This is not a practice run for the future, this is it! The material things we invest in, are left behind only to be discarded.” She added that she’s enjoying spending more time with her husband Carl, as their busy commitments meant that going on holiday was the best way to fully concentrate on each other.

A CAFFEINE DREAM DEAR Euro Weekly, Thanks for keeping me going. I can’t wait to get back outside, I am genuinely missing random human contact. Before the lockdown I would be moaning about too many people in the street, the Spaniards congregating in the middle of small pavements for a family chat, nobody covering the tills on Mercadona when it’s busy, you know the regular moany old man stuff. Now I just can’t wait to see people in the street, children playing in the parks again, angry rushes along the high street to get home to my dog after work. It’s funny the things you take for granted that you miss. Hopefully, it will continue to make me feel differently. I don’t miss the beggars or being shoulder barged by ignorant people, but I do miss my favourite coffee! Yours in need of a good cuppa. Frank Dollimore Los Boliches
Spread some sanity Dear Leapy Ref: Expats in Spain outraged on the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol seeing Ross Kemp in vital PPE equipment as it’s wasted.
OUR VIEW Wild love FEW are lucky enough to go into the wild these days. Under lockdown, our horizons have shrunk. Beloved nature reserves and glorious national parks must wait until the quarantine is lifted. Yet it seems the wild is coming to us. In Barcelona, a snake is wrapped around a parked motorbike engine. In Puerto Banus, dolphins swim among the boats in the port. In Alhaurin, even wolves have been spotted and large jellyfish float through Venice’s now clear canals. Animals are moving into the spaces that humans have vacated, and we are unusually receptive to their arrival. When days seem so indistinct, the appearance of a new bird outside the window suddenly seizes our attention. Birdsong is clearer now that the traffic has hushed. With quieter roads, the death toll of furry creatures is guaranteed to fall. Grass verges, left uncut, will provide a home for wildflowers and a breeding ground for bugs and insects. Heavy machinery is parked up, leaving nests undisturbed. Animal appearances seem to bring such joy to human hearts that some tales of returning wildlife have been exaggerated or confected. However, much work to protect wildlife has slowed or stopped due to social distancing measures, and the dog shelters and horse sanctuaries, often strapped for cash, are under increased pressure. In developing countries, the absence of tourism and monitoring groups may give free rein to poachers who will see no more need to obey quarantine rules. People already living close to the edge may be forced to exploit nature to survive as their work disappears. When the pandemic is finally over, wildlife may vanish as fast as it emerged, we may not really notice so we should enjoy it while we can.

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK Hospital Administrator Receives Death Threats after Allowing Ross Kemp to Film Documentary William Craig I do understand folk need to hear about this stuff, but families’ loved ones when they can’t get to say their goodbyes etc and not get access is a shame. No film crew should have been there in the first place especially with the big stinky fluffy mic in full view of the coronavirus patients. It’s a sterile ward not an entertainment centre
Pet Owners in Spain horrified at the News that two Cats in New York Test Positive for Covid-19 Ellen Thomson Dr Fauci, the White House medical adviser and immunologist has confirmed this. He said pets can get infected and ‘there’s no evidence that the virus is transmitted from pets to humans but anything is possible.’ That’s a bit scary. In need of a cuppa.
I’ve never responded to any article in any media even though I’ve become increasingly infuriated by the sensationalism, fake news, hysteria, and unbalanced minority driven reporting by so many mainstream journalists in the last three years. But the above article did it for me, so I’m addressing my concerns to yourself as one of the only sane voices in an increasingly insane media, maybe you could spread some sanity. When we embed the media in a military conflict it places risk and burden on the units and soldiers involved, but it’s justified as it’s essential for the public to know what is happening on the front line and for the military to know the public understands their role and hardship. Covid-19 is a war and no different, when we emerge from the far side of this crisis the authorities and the public will be desperate to analyse and learn from every aspect of what happened. The health service will be desperate to show the world the warlike conditions they worked under, the hardships they faced, and the superhuman effort it took from everyone to manage an impossible situation and save lives. Ross Kemp is a world-class investigative journalist and we should be applauding his efforts to report on the crisis. To have no insight at the end of the crisis would be a travesty. Regards Pete D

Beach Bars and Chiringuitos on Spain’s Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol on Verge of Bankruptcy Julie Jones Peel I would have thought after this Wuhan virus that beach bars would have been a better choice for less contamination, seating outdoor at a distance, in the fresh air in and out of the sea, and easy plastic furniture to disinfect down at the end of the day.
Spain’s President and other heads of state give WHO full backing to combat Covid-19 together Dario Dumez Sanchez is totally sold to the globalists. The WHO has that useless director, who may have covered up cholera epidemics in the past, and now just serves China. Trump is right, the WHO is no longer relevant, nor does it serve its original purpose.
British expat bar owners haven’t seen a euro of the money promised by Spain’s President Pedro Sánchez Laurent Bates Just been listening to Duncan Bannatyne on talk radio. He was discussing the current closure of his 92 gyms, four hotels etc and if he’ll ever be able to reopen them. If the lockdown continues too long, the debt will be impossible to ever pay back. We face similar problems here in Spain. If tourists aren’t allowed back this year, the loans we will need to stay afloat will outweigh what we will be able to generate going forward. Is it better to go bankrupt now and restart in the future? Or build a massive debt to try and repay in the future? Some difficult decisions ahead for many, many self-employed small business owners.
Police say they LET hundreds gather in Manchester at funeral of ‘Mr Ibiza’ Duncan Smith Now sack Superintendent Boyce for dereliction of duty and disregard for the wider population which may become infected as a result of her idiotic, cowardly decision.
Donald Trump UNFOLLOWS Piers Morgan after GMB host blasted ‘bats*** crazy’ approach to coronavirus Allan Wiles While agreeing that Donald Trump’s ‘advice,’ if it wasn’t so dangerous, is hilarious Piers Morgan has recently behaved like a cross between Corporal Jones and Private Fraser from Dads Army. DON’T PANIC, WE’RE DOOMED.
At the EWN, we pride ourselves that reports are accurate and fair. If we do slip up, we promise to set the record straight in a clear, no-nonsense manner. To ask for an inaccuracy to be corrected. Email: editorial@euroweeklynews.com

MARBELLA MOMENTS
30 April - 6 May 2020
Not just a pretty face
BY NICOLE KING From Sarah with love. THE first time I heard the name Sarah Almagro was from Ronnie Waugh of Walking Football Spain when I interviewed him back in October 2019. Ronnie talked of Sarah and what happened to her and that a vast amount of money was needed to help her. I could hardly believe my ears; it seemed too surreal to be true. Sarah’s story started in July 2018 when she was suddenly taken ill with extreme stomach pains, headaches and nausea. The doctors didn’t realise at first that what Sarah had was not a stomach bug; she had septicaemia. I had never heard of it and was stunned to know that bacteria can get into the blood stream and start poisoning the entire body, causing vital organs to shut down. However apparently this is the world’s biggest killer next to cancer. Sarah was put into an induced coma for 10 days due to the excruciating pain: she was going into septic shock.
EWN 33
Sarah is now 20 and studying law; she wants to be a tax inspector of all things! Undoubtedly she will be whatever she wants to be as although faced with the unimaginable of having both her hands and legs amputated as a result of her infection, she still has many plans, goals and unfaltering objectives. Just by chatting with her for a few minutes you can tell that Sarah is a perfectionist by nature and holds herself to
very high standards. She says that when she heard that most people die of this disease she realised how lucky she was just to be alive; she has maintained that fortitude. She shows off her prosthetic hands which she mastered the use of in just three short weeks with pride and agility. In November last year she had a kidney transplant, thanks to dad’s compatibility which means she no longer

has to endure dialysis 20 hours a week. Things are looking up. When asked what she would say to the rest of us who complain for no real motive, in comparison to what she’s going through she philosophically replied that each person’s plight is important to them; she continues to talk of those less fortunate than her like those who can’t see or hear. The Walking Football club has been, apart from her devoted family, amongst her most avid and active supporters, raising funds and awareness to help Sarah get her new bionic hands. I invite you all to please watch the full interview with Sarah from our website or facebook page @MarbellaNow #MN260 – Monday 27.04.2020; I think you’ll be equally impressed. I can’t wait to chat again with Sarah; there’s so much more to share but in the meanwhile I just want to thank you Sarah for proving that it’s not what happens that really matters, only how we face it; and Sarah you couldn’t be putting on a braver, or prettier face and we all couldn’t be more proud.

NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England U-BOAT Worx has revealed the NEMO its first serial production line submarine. NEMO is a twoseater lightweight submarine entering into the final phase of production. Ultra modern in design, sharp lines, a hydrodynamic form and optimal power to weight ration combine to make Nemo an instant classic. Detailing including transparent nose cones, octagonal thruster ducts, car like stern and a fully pressurised hull withal a total weight of just 2,500 kilograms, the Nemo is the lightest manned submersible ever built. Standing 155 centimetres high it occupies the same space as just two jet skis. The NEMO comes with a state of the art acrylic pressure hull. A completely transparent window that hides nothing from your field of view. The submarine was designed to offer an unobstructed view into the ocean. Descend to as deep as 100 metres and the thrill of a dive with an unobstructed view and an almost invisible acrylic sphere makes you feel you are part of the underwater world.
IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man BECAUSE of the situation at the moment I don’t switch my phone off at night as I have children and grandchildren in the UK and, in case of emergencies, they can get hold of me 24/7. What I don’t have it on for is so Vodafone send me messages at 4am in the morning on a regular basis. Surely a communications company this size can work out that I’m not going to be interested in getting a free phone, unlimited roaming, which, at the moment is as useful as a chocolate teapot or, in fact, any offers at that hour of the day! There are so many rules at the moment and I appreciate that the government is doing its best, but unfortunately it’s not a case of one size fits all. I wonder why in the UK you can do some exercise, but here you can’t? It would make such a difference if you could get out for 30 minutes and just stretch your legs. It seems a little strange that if you don’t have a dog or

Its contemporary design, with an emphasis on comfort and functionality, creates a stylish and relaxing environment for both the pilot and those who prefer to be driven. The experienced U-Boat Worx pilots were the centre in the NEMO’s design. Everything was done to put the pilot central and make this the ultimate sub-

a young child you can’t go out except to do essential shopping. I happen to live up in the hills and am able to walk my dog once a day. Mrs S does the other walk. When I’m out I see maybe one other person walking their dog. But to be honest I don’t understand that they aren’t taking into consideration that everyone needs to exercise, not just dogs and children. Is it just me or do you all feel that we have stepped out of reality and into another dimension? I feel like we are all now starring in a sci-fi movie. You know the one - the disaster movie that always starts with an expert or scientist being ignored by the government with some ulterior motive usually motivated by power or money or both. So what did I do to just give myself a boost? I decided to watch a movie and my choice was, wait for it, a 2011 film called Contagion which is about a pandemic that starts in Asia. The reason I watched it is I remember watching it when it came out and thinking it was all a bit far-fetched but after watching it again I couldn’t believe that if shown now it would be a documentary and not sci-fi. So now I’m going to watch Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman just to cheer myself up again.

marine to drive as a pilot. The result, a submarine that is ready to be owner driven. U-Boat Worx provides training courses with the purchase of a NEMO submersible. The training consists of 12 days full-time training at our facility, the Sub Centre Curaçao in the Caribbean. Here the owner will learn everything he or she needs to know to become a certified
submersible operator. After successfully completing training they will be handed the keys to their own fully DNV-GL certified NEMO submersible. Most U-Boat Worx submarines are custom built to order, the NEMO is the only series produced submarine in the world and will become available once market demand has been met, given economies of scale the price of the Nemo is expected to be €975,000 plus local taxes.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
A date on your calendar draws near. It seems less important than it did and you may be tempted to cancel. Think twice. The question of who to go on holiday with comes up and someone is keen to tie you down. Keep options open because things this week are changeable, indeed. An unexpected phone call brings surprise news.
Taking a step back from the activity appeals right now. After an active time, energy needs building up. Basking in someone's glory shows you just how things could be. Give a new relationship more of a chance to grow. The avenues this person can open up to you will put a twinkle in your eye and a blush on your cheek.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) An opportunity to do something socially arises. It is not earth shattering, but could have a great long-term impact. Others seem to have confidence in you and enjoy your company this week. Having been given the chance to show what you are really capable of, allow your talents to show through.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) A new start with someone, socially, shows great promise. Consider what you want to get rid of in your life and plan how to approach the task. A bit of military precision goes down well. Cast your net wide. It may be necessary to invest in a few theatre tickets or a weekend away.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Should things go absolutely perfectly for you this week, then I would eat my hat. I don't usually wear one but would go to a charity shop immediately. Rolling round in your mind is the thought that, just as things start to go well, another problem crops up.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Social life is squeezed because of business commitments. As you are a people person, there will be fun and times out aplenty this week. Burning the candle at both ends works for a while and there is the chance to meet someone that you admire.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) May we consider for a moment what you thought that you would be doing, right now, five years ago? Yes, do you see what I mean? Breaking away from an old habit could be the best thing that you have done for a long time.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The strong urge to make physical contact with someone leads to a bit of bother. Not that there is anything wrong with a few hugs and kisses. It is the person or the timing that could be wrong. Love of something beautiful may lead to overspending.
LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY Saturday April 25
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The past has been kind to you but also unkind. It is the same for most of us, so don't think that you have been singled out for a bumpy ride. Be aware that basing a decision made this week on what happened a long time ago could be a mistake. Take things one step at a time and ask lots of questions.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) At some time in the future you may look back on this week and ask yourself, 'Why didn't I do that?' Let me help you to see the possibilities. The emphasis is firmly on your social life and someone special is about to step into it. Is the answer in online dating?

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) More than one possibility presents itself in connection with a problem. A foreign visit or visitor figures highly in plans and solutions. A change in someone close is brought to your attention. Get people talking to make real progress. Some may be inclined to put their head in the sand but not you.

Intrusive thoughts and mental health: MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED
ALTERNATIVE STEPS: Over the counter options come with some side effects. Credit: Code pharmacy
THE onset of spring means the beginning of the dreaded hay fever season, bringing symptoms including watery eyes, an itchy throat and frequent sneezing. Whilst over the counter medicines often help to reduce symptoms, alternative steps can also be taken for more natural relief. Here are some options: 1. Quercetin Quercetin can help to reduce inflammation and inhibits the release of histamine, stopping the reaction in its tracks. To up the quercetin in your diet,
opt for foods including berries, parsley, onions, and peppers. 2. Biotin Biotin is a B vitamin which helps maintain the healthy function of mucous membranes. Try consuming more fish, egg yolks, avocados, green leafy vegetables and nuts to get your recommended dose. 3. Herbal teas Green tea, chamomile, elderflower, ginger, pepper mint and anise limit the effects of hay fever. They will also help to keep you hydrated. 4. Probiotics Healthy gut flora is essential for a strong immune system. To help replenish your gut flora, opt for a multi-strain probiotic supplement or fermented foods such as sauerkraut, bone broths, gelatin, natural and Kefir yoghurt. 5. Local honey There is some strong evidence to show that consuming local honey can help to limit the effects of hay fever as it
exposes you to the same pollen, helping your body to naturally form a tolerance 6. Garlic An underrated food which can help block the production of histamine and soothe hay fever symptoms. Try to incorporate garlic into your daily meals or opt for a good quality supplement. 7. Vitamin D A vitamin D deficiency has been linked to the development of allergies and autoimmune diseases. Vitamin D also supports the healthy gut bacteria. 8. Contactless Hay fever sufferers who wear contact lenses may notice the vision through their lenses can appear smeary and eyes can generally feel uncomfortable which can be calmed down with contact lens-friendly eye drops. Wearing prescription glasses can prevent pollen from getting into your eyes.
INTRUSIVE thoughts are thoughts that pop in to your head which are beyond your control and can become obsessive. They are thoughts that you do not want, and obsessions that you certainly would rather not have! It is something I have learned to deal with over the years, it can be anything from an unwanted image or a scenario that plays in your mind that can cause so much upset and can be very hard to manage or eliminate. The hardest one I feel like I have had to deal with to date is ‘losing the closest person to me,’ it’s a thought that creeps in, can be very graphic and very upsetting. It can pop up out of nowhere. I haven’t found a way to get rid intrusive thoughts, however there are ways I have been shown through therapy to cope with the unwanted thoughts: 1) You need to recognise if the thought is truly intrusive. Are you obsessing over something you don’t want to? Is the thought popping up
at times when it doesn’t make any sense? Is it upsetting you? 2) Acknowledge these thoughts when they happen. Tell yourself it is your mind producing these thoughts and try to distract yourself. 3) Take a deep breath. If you practise meditation, this a brilliant time to take 10 minutes out to practise it. Give yourself time. 4) Don’t judge your thoughts. Understand that these thoughts are part of your illness, so there isn’t any need to feel guilty, they aren’t wanted thoughts! 5) Try and replace the thought. This is the tricky part, try and think of a ‘happy’ or ‘positive’ thought. It’s easier said than done! But remember that these thoughts are created in your mind, they are not truly what you think or are not truly a part of you. Intrusive thoughts can happen to everyone. It’s how you cope with them that defines how much they’ll rule your life. In the end, it’s absolutely crucial that you work with a professional to find out how to help you cope with intrusive thoughts if you are finding it is having a negative affect on your day to day life.

DIONE LOCKYER IT’S not enough that we are in lockdown, but now us mums have to be teachers too! I hear you mumma’s. The first day, I was completely organised. The alarm was set, the laptop and books were neatly on the table, the timetable was neatly written using different colours, and everything was going to be fine. My son woke up on time, sat at the table, completed his work with only a few questions he needed help with and before i knew it, the day was complete! Wow! I can really do this, home schooling is a doddle, or so I thought!!! Fast forward to the end of the first week and things weren’t so dandy. My son was less motivated, the snooze button was pressed, the work got harder and OH MY GOD

THE STRESS OF HOME SCHOOLING - MUMS, YOU’RE DOING JUST FINE!
HOME SCHOOLING: Take it one day at a time. WHERE’S THE WINE!!! We had arguments, we had strops, we had complete meltdowns. What the hell am I doing, I’m no teacher, i hated algebra when i was at school
so how on earth can I teach it to my son? I’m not even fluent in Spanish, he attends a Spanish school I don’t understand, I can’t, i cant... I JUST CANT!!! The tears started to roll, i felt
as if i was failing as a parent, was my son going to be left behind? Was my son going to struggle when the schools reopen? Then it hit me, like a saucepan to the face Mums, WE ARE NOT TRAINED TEACHERS! We haven’t been to college or university to study how to teach our kids so why on earth are we putting so much pressure on ourselves? Secondly, this is new to our children too! They’re not used to the situation we are in, they look at their homes as a place to feel safe, a place to have fun, a place of calm. They have spent six long weeks stuck at home with a mum or dad who picks up the wine every time they hear the words... SCHOOL WORK. Give them and yourselves a break! Take it one day at a time. Whether your child completes
five hours or one hour’s worth of work, celebrate it. If your child is feeling overwhelmed and simply cannot face a day of home schooling, teach them something fun. Teach them life skills. Cooking, reading, home exercise, anything to put a smile on their beautiful faces. The reality is, the lack of workload will not affect their adult life, it will not stop them from getting their dream job. It will not stop them from living a successful life. They will catch up, they will succeed, they will be happy! The lockdown and pandemic will be talked about for years; don’t let your children or yourself look back on it with dread, hurt or frustration. Create wonderful memories and look back on this moment with nothing but love and a smile. I raise a glass to all parents. We’ve got this!
If you would like to dig a little deeper into your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours or you would like to complete one of my courses to live a happy and healthy life with yourself, please email me coachingwithdione@gmail.com.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR AND YOUR FAMILY’S EYES Specsavers Ópticas shares top tips for combatting eye fatigue in an increased screen use time DAILY routines for people in Spain have changed dramatically in response to the outbreak of the Coronavirus (Covid-19). With more people working from home, it is more important than ever to look after your vision and try to reduce eye strain. Whether you are working on a laptop or keeping upto-date with the latest news on your mobile phone, your daily screen time will no doubt see a dramatic increase over the coming weeks. While eye strain is not usually serious and tends to go once you rest your eyes, symptoms to look out for include eye discomfort, headaches, sore, tired, burning or itchy eyes, difficulty focusing, watery eyes, dry eyes, blurred or double vision, and increased sensitivity to light. While Specsavers Ópticas understands screen time for work is largely unavoidable, we are here to offer professional advice on ways to manage computer strain and ensure a healthy working and living environment in the midst of this current situation. Optometrist and store director Amrik Sappal, has given the following tips for anyone working at home: • Rest your eyes - Take regular breaks from looking at your screen. Take a minute to stare out a window as looking into a distance relaxes the focusing muscle inside the eye, which in turn reduces eye fatigue • Use adequate lighting - Poor lighting, including glare and reflections can result in eye fatigue. Use blinds to reduce brightness of excessive sunlight, avoid sitting under
big overhead or fluorescent lights, and where possible, use floor lamps instead. • Reduce glare - Reflections on your computer screen can cause glare. Try reducing glare and reflections on your computer screen by attaching an anti-glare screen to your monitor - a slightly less drastic measure than changing up your wall colour to a dark, matt shade. Any glasses wearers out there should use lenses with an antireflective coating to reduce glare. • Adjust your monitor’s settings - Ensure the brightness of your screen is the same as the surroundings and adjust font sizes and your monitor’s colour temperature to alter the number of blue colours on your screen. Blue light is short-wavelength visible light that is associated with more eye strain than longer-wavelength hues, such as orange and red • Modify your workstation - Assess your workstation. Start with ensuring your workstation and chair are of an appropriate height to one another. Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at - or slightly below - eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen. Your computer screen should be 20 to 24 inches from your eyes and the centre
of the screen should be 10 to 15 degrees below your eye line • Upgrade your display - Swap out an old CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor for an LCD screen. LCD screens are much easier on the eyes, do not flicker in the way CRT does and usually have anti-reflective surface. Sappal also suggests that any glasses and contact lens wearers should ensure that they wear lenses specifically for computers. He says: “Wearing prescription glasses gives the greatest comfort to wearers while using a computer. I would encourage contact lens wearers to consider wearing glasses while they work from home, especially at a time when their screen time might be higher, whether it’s a combination of increased workload, keeping up to date with ongoing events on your phone or laptop, or playing with kids on a device using a screen. Contact lenses can become dry and uncomfortable during sustained screen work.” Specsavers Ópticas has temporarily closed its stores, to support the national and global efforts to stop the spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19). During this time, it will continue to provide urgent support and advice to the public over the phone. Specsavers Ópticas would like to thank customers for their patience and understanding at this difficult time and hopes to be back open as soon as it is safe to do so. There is a wealth of information and advice on the Specsavers Ópticas website, www.specsavers.es. Here you can also find the contact details for all the stores.

ALTHOUGH BBC and ITV have an exceptional archive of quality productions, their current response to the lockdown is to say the least insipid with repeats of reality shows and recent series. If you are looking for something a little more uplifting then London’s National Theatre is streaming a number of star studded productions via YouTube which are free to view for a limited period. Currently and until 7pm on Thursday April 30 you can view Tamsin Greig starring in Twelfth Night to coincide with Shakespeare’s birthday. Then possibly the highlight of the productions will be Danny Boyle’s direction of Frankenstein starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller who alternated the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation when the play was premiered in 2011.

Sounds of Gibraltar HAVING returned to Gibraltar after spells living in London and Marbella, Surianne Dalmedo was making music through a number of different outlets until of course like other musicians she was hit by the lockdown. She has recorded a number of numbers in her own right, appeared with Gib Floyd and most recently with jazz influenced Levanter Breeze and also presents a programme for children in the Busy B Club. There’s a chance to find out the type of songs that she writes and music that she plays when she performs between 3pm and 5pm on Sunday May 3 at www.sessionslive/Surian neMusic.
Porsche4Kids offer MORE UPLIFTING: Tamsin Greig in Twelfth Night.
So on April 30 for seven nights it will be Cumberbatch as Victor Frankenstein and from May 1 also for seven nights the roles are reversed with Miller playing Frankenstein in this adaptation of the book by Mary Shelley. Next on May 8 for seven
days it’s a retur n to Shakespeare with Ralph Fiennes taking the lead in Anthony and Cleopatra. Other productions may be available at a cost but to find out more visit www.national theatre.org.uk and National Theatre at Home.
GERMAN car manufacturer Porsche is offering families a welcome distraction from life under lockdown with Porsche4Kids, a free offer for children at home. Many games and activities are waiting for young visitors on the www.porsche4kids.com website. On the site, girls and boys can find colouring pages, craft ideas with instructions, find the word memory games, puzzles and search-and-find pictures.

Those who are 12 and over and like learning can take part in the Porsche Museum e-mobility challenge. On this discovery tour, children can learn lots about how an electric motor works, where electrical energy is stored and if electricity only comes from a socket.

This week Celebrity Chef & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala makes a fantastic baked vegetarian dish using miraculous mushrooms… oh and a little truffle!
Mushrooms could be our secret medicine! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas www.thelittlegeranium.com
YOU’LL have probably heard that mushrooms are good for you. So good, in fact, that some people use them as medicine and if we don’t we ought to! Almost every ancient civilisation around the world has used mushrooms at some point for their healing properties, for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians even called them the plant of immortality! Edible mushrooms are fantastic for healing us and at the moment we all need a bit of healing inside and out! Right now in lockdown is when we need our immunity system more than ever before. Because we are not getting out or moving around much,
not exercising enough, probably eating a lot more junk foods than usual and we are stressing over the whole situation and all of that takes our immune system down to its lowest. To boost our immune system we need some essential vitamins and some fresh nutritional food. Eating mushrooms will provide those vitamins and could also help to prevent respiratory infections so listen up, go get some mushrooms and follow this recipe. They are also prebiotic which means they nourish the good bacteria in your gut. Mushrooms have a lot of nutritional value with few calories and little fat. Eating a variety of organic mushrooms regularly is best but if you can’t get hold of organic ones you can choose from simple white, Portobello, oyster, shiitake, girolles or other
specialised mushrooms, but they must be edible! Be careful because some wild mushrooms are not edible and are toxic to humans. You should never pick mushrooms to eat from the wild unless you have been trained to identify them. But you can grow your own quite easily by visiting the websites at lovethegarden.com or motherearthnews.com. We have just started to grow our own organic mushrooms with the help of those sites and I have to say it’s exciting to watch them grow! All types of edible mushrooms contain varying degrees of protein and fibre. They also contain vitamin B, C and D as well as a power ful antioxidant called selenium, which helps to support the immune system. So now is the right time to start eating more
Mushrooms, mushrooms, everywhere. mushrooms than you would usually. Add them to your stews, pies or stir fries, or eat them washed and raw drizzled with truffle oil added to a salad. As I write this, I am cooking a fish pie and I have added
mushrooms. Mushrooms are the food of medicine so let’s put them everywhere and beat this virus! The dish this week is a real home dish all cooked in one pan just like Michele likes (saves washing up) and the secret to the recipe is the baking which transfor ms the flavours of what would otherwise be a wet risotto into something very special. Meat lovers can add a little chorizo or chicken for extra protein, but the dish doesn’t need it. The great thing about the recipe is that it is easy, inexpensive, impressive and its top of the Anti Corona charts! It’s actually more like a paella in the way that it is cooked rather than risotto. But I live here in Spain and since paella is our national dish, the Spanish don’t appreciate it being tampered with! Origins of paella go back hundreds of years when the Romans brought the paella pan, the Spanish brought the fish and the Arabs brought the rice and so who am I to bring the mushrooms!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Ingredients (serves approx six or two very hungry ones!) 500g of various mushrooms washed and sliced 150g of salted butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion peeled and chopped 2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped finely 1 teaspoon of sweet red pepper (pimenton dulce) or mild paprika 1 flat tablespoon of dried tarragon (or fresh if you can get it!) 250g of risotto rice washed well in a colander to remove the starch 150ml of dry white wine 500ml of vegetable stock (you can add onions, garlic, carrot, leek and celery to a bought carton stock to make it taste better) Olive oil 200g of Parmesan cheese Truffle oil to finish
Sprigs of Coriander or French parsley Maldon salt Freshly ground black pepper Method Take a thick bottomed large open casserole pan (see video) or a paella pan, put it on a high heat and add 50 per cent of the butter and olive oil and then the onion and garlic and sweat (cook gently) but do not colour it Now add the mushrooms, tarragon and paprika and sweat the mushrooms, say two minutes Now add the white wine and stir well in Sprinkle in the rice and season well with Maldon salt and freshly milled pepper Stir in 100g of the cheese Pour over the vegetable stock and add the remaining knob of butter on top. The
stock should be about a fingers width above the rice (approx 1cm). Pans vary so if it isn’t then you may need more than 500ml of stock. Bake in a pre-heated oven 190ºC for 20 minutes or until all the stock is soaked up into the rice and the rice is cooked. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese on top and bake again until melted say two minutes. Finally drizzle some truffle oil generously all over and garnish with some sprigs of parsley or coriander. Serve steaming hot in the centre of the table for all to share with a salad or some crusty bread. Note: If you can’t get truffle oil look for anoil infused with mushrooms like a cep oil or similar. MUSHROOM RISOTTO: Serve with crusty bread.

FRANKLY SPEAKING
YOU CAN FEEL NORMAL my small group of quirky friends I was comfortable with. But you do spend your majority of the time in the classrooms. Hitting teens was hard. I wasn’t ready to grow up. I still felt like the daft kid in primary school. So, I faked it. Not uncommon in Autistic girls, they call it ‘masking’ and it’s exhausting. I also developed an eating disorder at around 15. Again, not uncommon in Autistic girls. I lost a little weight to be told how good I
BY JULIE FRANK
LAST week I ranted about antivaxxers and the Corona virus. It was followed by me discussing my Autism/Asperger’s, briefly. It’s not something I tend to talk about in detail normally. But as I’m writing a column. Perhaps it’s about time I did. So here goes… I was diagnosed late 30’s. I’d already guessed so a year or so before. What lead me to suspect I had Asperger’s Syndrome was someone on a reality TV show, of all things. He described himself as almost identical in the way he thought and acted. The penny dropped. I’d always felt ‘different.’ In primary school this wasn’t a bad thing. I was the daft kid and popular. I had obsessions, but they manifested themselves in silly TV shows or toys. I wouldn’t have stood out as Autistic, because I wasn’t the stereotypical introvert. I was shy out of my comfort zone, but I had many friends. I was happy and laughed my way through most of childhood. It felt safe. Then high school. Straight away I felt out of my depth. I was completely over-
FEELING DIFFERENT: You’re not alone. whelmed with the size of the place and all the new faces. The sounds - like the crowds of students moving down the corridors seemed deafening. There was no structure - a different classroom for each lesson, different faces every time. I still had
looked. Well, I didn’t stop there! Because typical of someone with Autism, I became obsessed. I left school after achieving very little. I missed most of the final year because I’d fallen behind. By this time I was experiencing what I now recognise as anxiety. A panicky feeling which forced me to protect myself by zoning out, what is known
as ‘shutdowns.’ Lessons were too stressful. Further education and work were up and down. I tended to excel in jobs where I worked on my own initiative. The eating disorder dissipated towards my early 20’s. Life generally from then on was good. But I still felt like an alien. There were still situations I couldn’t handle too. Shopping centres for, example. The panicky feeling would come back. If I couldn’t leave straight away, I’d start to feel frightened. I couldn’t identify with the way other females thought either. But I got married and started a family. I did all the normal things that are expected of us, but still felt very detached from the human race. Then came that realisation. My new obsession became Autism! The diagnosis wasn’t a shock, because I’d already become a mini expert in the topic. So there you go. It’s not something I want to define me. But it’s part of me. Apparently, there’s many undiagnosed adults out there. So even if just one person identifies with this and that penny drops for them too, I’m glad I wrote it. Because once you realise why you’re not ‘normal’ you feel more normal. You’re not alone. Next week it’s back to ranting!
