BEFORE YOU
AT the time of going to print, as from Monday, May 11, many businesses will be looking to reopen as isolation laws ease off in Spain. Before you zoom off for your first haircut in almost two months or to meet up with your friends for a boozy lunch, there are some things you should think about. STOP: Firstly, do you have your face mask on? With many more people on the street and visiting these places of business, you are putting yourself and others at risk if you are not protected. Spain is a country that kisses hello and goodbye, for now, you should remain two metres apart. The more carefully we treat this de-escalation the more likely it is to succeed. THINK: The family coffee shop on the corner with the best espresso, the little restaurant you had amazing tapas, the local fruit shop with fresh produce, the panaderia that is open all hours on a skeleton staff. Who will need your money the most? The community has grown together during this crisis and shown that we can care for and respect each other. Now it’s your turn to give back to your community. GO: If we want to be able to carry on enjoying life as we had it before we need those businesses that

Key Beach Plan BEACHES across Alicante Province could be reopened for sun bathers and swimmers this summer. The Valencian government will hand over a proposal for a set of rules to the national government next week. The protocols would guarantee that beach goers have a good time, but do so under the most secure safety conditions. President Ximo Puig described the local beaches as “an extraordinary resource for residents” both from “from the tourist point of view” and economically. The plan will address measures to limit access to beaches; how they will be cleaned and disinfected; and how numbers will be kept to a safe limit.

Feeding The Homeless A SPECIAL appeal to help homeless people and those suffering in poverty get food and vital supplies has seen thousands of euros raised for charities in Torrevieja. The idea was conceived by businessman Ulrich Brack, who has lived in the area since the mid-90’s. He said: “Some people have seen their very difficult circumstances made even harder during the crisis, and I wanted to give direct help to the most vulnerable in the local community.” Beneficiaries have included the Torrevieja-based Alimentos Solidarios, who provide meals to the needy, as well as vital hygiene and cleaning products. They received money to buy supplies thanks to Ulrich’s project, which was christened as Torrevieja Corona Fundraising. It was supported by local Rotary, Lions and Inner Wheel clubs, as well as businesses, via a social media campaign aimed at international residents in the area to put something back into the Spanish community. The money raised has helped Alimentos Solidarios to provide help to local homeless people, along with backing from Torrevieja Council, and local chefs and trainees under the banner of Alicante Gastronomic Solidarity. Food for Alimentos Solidarios and other
Terrace Stretch BAR owners looking to reopen this Monday (May 11) are set to be helped by Crevillente Council. The Alicante Province town says it is looking at expanding the terrace areas of bars, restaurants, and cafes so that businesses can accommodate as many customers as safely and legally possible. The new phase of State of Alarm rules allows for a maximum of 50 per cent of terraces to be occupied from next week. Many in the Alicante Province hospitality industry are saying that despite being allowed to resume trading, the tough restrictions will see many businesses have to fold.

Hundreds of meals are then distributed by Alimentos around the city, as well as by groups covering the Vega Baja area. Another of Ulrich Brack’s beneficiaries was Torrevieja’s homeless charity, Reach Out, with chairman David Young saying: “God bless, and thank you,” on hearing news of the much-needed gift. In common with all local charities dur-

Police around the coast said that surfers and swimmers made up the majority of transgressors, with access to most beaches prohibited anyway. An Alicante Council spokesperson said: “It is very important to keep your distance, follow all instructions and respect the schedules established for each age group.” The time schedules for different ages do not apply to municipalities of under 5,000 people.

Handle With Care AN Alicante man has been arrested by the National Police for trying to send a mortar grenade in the post. The investigation began with an emergency call from security staff about a suspicious package they scanned in the city, which they believed had something dangerous in it. A bomb disposal team deactivated the device, which was a 50mm mortar grenade, and could have caused serious damage if it had detonated. Police officers managed to locate where the package was meant to gone to, namely to an address in Palma de Mallorca.

Market Success
WEEKLY MARKETS: Some regular stalls reappeared on the first day of trading. BIGASTRO Council was delighted to be one of the first areas in the south of Alicante Province to reopen their weekly Thursday market last week. Most authorities held back on acting over the Valencian Government’s decision to allow markets to return to business to sell food and essential items. Bigastro’s move seemed to pay off as 14 out of the regular 19 food and drugs stalls reappeared on the first day of trading. Mayor Teresa Belmonte praised the social distancing rules that both customers
and traders followed. The market location has been switched from Calles Purisima and Aureliano Díaz to the Huerto del Cura Park, where it is easier to maintain health and security measures. Masks and hand gels are also being supplied on site to shoppers by Bigastro Council. Elsewhere in the Vega Baja area, San Fulgencio has resumed its markets in the village and on La Marina urbanisation, whilst Orihuela area markets pick up again from next week.
A TORREVIEJA couple were found in their road by Guardia Civil officers with a bucket of water and a sponge giving a thorough wash to their car.

More Public Disinfection
ORIHUELA Council has stepped up disinfection work in public areas, due to the relaxation of State of Alarm rules. The freedom to walk and exercise outside was extended last weekend. That prompted the authority to increase the spraying of benches, as well as promenade areas at Punta Prima, La

A FRAIL woman was taken to hospital following a dramatic rescue in Torrevieja, as she lay helpless in her home. The Guardia Civil in the city got a call from a neighbour saying that an elderly lady had fallen on her staircase and was unconscious. Officers rushed to the apartment block to rescue the 88-year-old woman, but could not get in because the front door was locked. They resorted to clambering up onto the balcony of the building to force their way in, and found her lying on the floor. The Guardia let the paramedics into her home, and she was stabilised before being taken to Torrevieja Hospital to be treated for hypoglycaemia.

Brits Seek Costa Relief THE Costa Blanca area has seen a big rise in hits on a major UK travel portal, as lockdown Brits case their eye to future holidays. Research conducted by TravelSuper market re-
vealed that October and November 2020 have seen increases in searches for package holiday deals, with places like Benidorm and other parts of Alicante Province figuring highly. “With the pubs closed at
home and talk of potential cheap beer prices on the Spanish coast in future, Brits appear nostalgic for a drink or three in the sun by the sea,” said Emma Coulthurst from TravelSupermarket.
BARS and restaurants have said that they are worried about the phased reopening plans announced by the government, which they claim could end in catastrophic closures. The Alicante Provincial Association of Hospitality Companies (APHEA) says the measures for reducing the lockdown and getting their businesses reopened have been done too quickly and without enough consultation with people who work in the hospitality trade. The association went further and said opening up with a capacity of just 50 per cent outdoors would be “catastrophic” for their members and that many businesses would fold permanently with the industry locally suffering “short-term ruin.”
AN earthquake struck close to the border of Alicante Province and the Murcia region last Saturday morning (May 2).

Saturday Shaker The tremor is the latest of a series of mini-quakes to hit the area recently with incidents recorded in Santa Pola, Torrevieja, and San Fulgencio.
Reopening Concerns
OUTDOORS: Can only open at 50 per cent occupancy. “There are many questions that need to be answered including how the rules on using outdoor terraces will work and be enforced,” said an APHEA spokesperson. The group also wants the
Valencian Government and individual municipalities to decide on how extensively terraces should be occupied, rather than everybody keeping to a national figure determined by officials in Madrid.
“Every local area has its own trends in bar and restaurant usage, and so you can’t make a sweeping statement that imposes a national rule on every establishment,” APHEA added.
Home Delivery Con
ILLEGAL DRUGS: Were concealed inside home delivery backpacks. INTERPOL says that criminals are using delivery services as a cover to transport drugs and other illegal goods during the coronavirus crisis. The National Police arrested seven people in April, who were disguised as food delivery drivers in the Alicante Province. The clandestine traffickers were
caught delivering cocaine and marihuana by bicycle, motorcycle and car, with some of the drugs concealed inside their home delivery backpacks, which offered more than pizza and kebabs. Interpol say that the con has spread to the UK and Ireland, as well as further afield in Malaysia.

Political Viewpoint from Spain by DAMON MITCHELL EURO WEEKLY NEWS spoke to expat Allan Cobb to ask his opinion on the possibility of an extension to the State of Alarm in Spain. “This could be a complete game-changer. Nationalist parties from the Basque Country and Catalonia have already stated they will vote against it. The only possibility Sanchez has is if the PP seconds his proposal and they have already said they think there is no need for an extension.” He went on to point out that “If the State of Alarm is not extended, apart from causing an institutional crisis the phases which were announced would not be valid, and after May 11 each region would have to implement their own deescalation. “Andalucia, for example, is run by the PP and their proposal was more ambitious with the opening of businesses, on the other hand, the Valencian region is run by PSOE and theirs would be more in line with the main government.”

The company is confident that it will receive the necessary Spanish guarantees otherwise it would not have made this information public.
WHEN pension freedoms were in troduced in 2015, it was possible for those over the age of 55 to withdraw money from their defined contribu tion pension pots. The first 25 per cent was tax free but if the pension provider does not hold an uptodate tax code, an ‘emergency tax code’ will be applied which assumes a oneoff payment is actually a monthly one. So far more than £600 million has been refunded by the tax office with an average payment in excess of £3,000 per claimant.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they put a surcharge? Further to your reply in the EWN of April 23 29 stating that Spanish community law pro hibits communities of property owners from placing surcharges for late payment of community fees, could you please direct me to the section of the horizontal law where this appears? B M (by email)
No I can not. This is because the law it YOU AND THE LAW self neither pro IN SPAIN hibits nor empow ers communities to levy surcharges. The law only says that the community can deprive the debtor of the right to vote in the AGM and can go to court against him to recover the debt. So it becomes a matter of what the judges say. For many years, the Spanish courts when challenged ruled that the community could not levy surcharges on the debtors or forbid them the use of services such as the swimming pool. That is why I said that surcharges were forbidden. In recent years, however, some courts have be gun to rule that surcharges may be acceptable, if they are written into the original statutes of the community. So the answer to your question depends on what the court rules in your specific case.

Currency outlook: Coronavirus crisis dominates and EU tensions take their toll on the euro ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday
Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
EURO EUR/GBP: Down from £0.89 to £0.87 EUR/USD: Down from $1.11 to $1.08 The euro has come under pres sure over the last month due to a lack of solidarity in the EU over the fiscal response to the coronavirus. So far EU leaders have been un able to agree upon a comprehen sive recovery package, and this has cast some serious doubts over the future of the union, with French President Emmanuel Macron warn ing the coronavirus crisis will be the EU’s moment of truth. But as we come to the end of April, the coronavirus situation in
EURO: Buoyed by prospect of countries starting to reopen their economies. the Eurozone has markedly im proved, with the euro buoyed by the prospect of countries starting to reopen their economies in the coming weeks. However, the road to recovery remains long, and the single curren cy is vulnerable to further losses due to gloomy data. The Eurozone’s upcoming GDP figures are likely to provide particular cause for con cern.
Pound GBP/EUR: Up from €1.11 to €1.14 GBP/USD: Unmoved at $1.24 The pound has traded in a wide range over the past four weeks, mostly in response to the health of Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Sterling dove at the start of April as Johnson was admitted to inten sive care due to complications from contracting the coronavirus.
GBP exchange rates were quick to bounce back however, with the pound being lifted by improving market sentiment and the Prime Minister’s discharge from hospital. Sterling faltered again towards the end of the month as some abysmal UK economic data limited the appeal of the currency once more. Going forward the main focus for GBP investors will be the UK gov ernment’s lockdown exit strategy and when we can expect restric tions to start being eased. US Dollar USD/GBP: Unmoved at £0.80 USD/EUR: Up from €0.89 to €0.91 The US dollar remained well sup ported through most of April as the uncertainty surrounding the coron avirus crisis and fears of a deep global recession kept demand for the safehaven currency high.
These gains have been tempered somewhat however by US jobless claims, as they revealed that US un employment has skyrocketed by a staggering 25 million people since the start of the coronavirus pan demic. The US dollar has begun to taper off in recent days as a more posi tive mood falls upon markets on the expectation that countries will continuing reopening their economies. Looking ahead, demand for the US dollar will likely continue to sub side so long as the global coron avirus outbreak continues to show signs of having peaked.

VIEWS FROM THE H Mani Vehtu, Punjabi Palace THE Punjabi Palace have three Indian restaurants in the southern Costa Blanca at Los Montesinos, Quesada, and Cabo Roig. They’ve already got back into business by setting up a home delivery service, and are looking forward to using their terraces to entice customers back as soon as possible. Mani Vehtu is the manager of their Quesada restaurant, which recently celebrated its sixth anniversary. “It has been very difficult for us but we have al-
ready had a great response from our customers,” Mani said. “The good news is that at Quesada we have a very large terrace which normally can cater for around 60 people, so even with the restrictions, when we are allowed to reopen soon, we will be able to create quite an atmosphere outside.” Mani added: “The uncertainty has meant that it has been difficult to plan ahead, as we like to order and prepare food in advance, but at least we now have a timetable.”
Francisca Andreu, Neptuno Mojácar Restaurante y Eventos “ I T h a s b e e n h a rd f o r N e p tuno because we have many employees on contract and we have had to put them on the dole with the assistance, which is never like the salary they receive,” explained Fran. “The good thing is that we opened up for deliveries about two weeks ago, and this is working really well, and means that now we have
people working again. And from Monday we started with takeaways and will need more people to work. “Also good is that on Monday we start opening the terraces and we hope to be able to have many people dining with us. “ We a r e t a k i n g a l l t h e health and hygiene precautions to ensure healthy deliveries and zero contact.”
Valparaiso, 36 years in business He commented “The whole team is already looking forward to the moment when we have our restaurant open again and hopefully you will see everyone healthy and happy again. “There's just so many dynamics to the operation. There are a lot of logistical headaches.” He has emailed all of his customers saying he thinks they could give a much better service if he could add a photo to the profile they hold on regulars. If you want to bec o m e o n e o f t h e Va l paraiso clients send a photo and your contact details to info@valparaisomijas.c om.
IT was in 1984 that brothers Raffaele and Vittorio Morelli opened Valparaiso Restaurant on the road to Mijas Pueblo. Since that time it has become a place to enjoy top Italian food, but the lockdown has seen the restaurant closed and Raffaele just waiting to be able to open again.
Bar Grizzly’s, Calpe
Emerald Isle Targets Monday Return ROBERTO NOBBE of Bar Grizzly’s in Calpe told Euro Weekly News that they plan to reopen on May 11, providing things stay as they are. “If everything goes well, we will open on May 11. We are lucky because of the layout of Bar Grizzly’s, we can use inside and out. But it’s not going to be easy because we can only serve 50 per cent of our clients “We are still making plans and in talks with our lawyers, things are changing every day. These are very difficult times for all businesses, and we are fortunate as we are one of the larger ones. We really look forward to opening up and seeing our customers again.”
THE Emerald Isle on the Orihuela Costa at La Florida is a large complex serving traditional food for all ages, as well as having masses of outdoor space with a giant swimming pool at the centre. It’s also been the ‘go to’ venue for live entertainment, featuring many top performers from the Costa Blanca and the UK. The good news is that the Emerald Isle is planning to reopen to serve drinks this com-
ing Monday (May 11), according to owner Gerald Moran. “I want to be back in busi-
ness as soon as possible,” said Gerald. “I have to make sure that we follow all the rules of social distancing and have been in touch with the Orihuela Local Police to get things totally clear. “I also need the clarity to see how many staff members I can take back on during the different phases of reopening, which will also give me some idea of the amount of stock I need to order.”

HOSPITALITY SECTOR La Sala will reopen soon ONE of the landmarks of dining and entertainment in Banus is La Sala and Chairman of the Group, Ian Radford shared some of his plans for the easing of the State of Alarm lockdown after his first team meeting to discuss the future. Now that the gover nment has indicated that in Phase 1 terraces can be open with 50 per cent capacity, things are easier for the Sala directors and they have decided on the following plan (subject of course to amendment); The Havana 65 Cocktail Bar in the Av Marques del Duero in San Pedro will open for drinks only on May 11. La Sala Banus will open for food and drinks on May 15 as will Villa Toscana just across the road. La Sala by the Beach which relies more heavily on tourist visits will probably open towards the end of May, possibly for weekends initially. Reservations will be required and to keep up-to-date, visit the Sala Group website as the company gears itself to make September the new May.
Black Flame Bar, Grill and Carvery, Pedregeur
Ian Radford enjoying Craig David at La Sala by the Sea. The company is committed to ensure that staff and customers will be well looked after and receiving certificates confirming that the premises are Covid-19 free they comply with all health and safety requirements to ensure that things stay that way.
Stephen Hollings co-owner of the Cornish Pride cafe in Albox “I SEE difficult times for small businesses like ours,” Stephen commented. “It has not been an easy time trying to get Social Security assistance, and the astronomically high ‘autonomo’ payments are still being taken out of our bank, despite being told they would be frozen.” Commenting on the Phase One provision which allows cafes like Cornish Pride to serve customers only on outside spaces, and then at just 50 per cent of capacity,
Stephen said “our business is going to be severely affected. “We have just six outside tables so can o n l y s e r v e t h r e e ! B y the time we have paid all the outgoings we will be lucky to break even. Luckily we can offer a full takeaway service so we hope that might help us through this extremely difficult period.”
El Barril in Denia
BLACK FLAME Bar, Grill and Carvery won’t be opening its doors on May 11. Heidi and Sam are going to wait a couple of weeks longer, concerned that being able to serve only 50 per cent of their outside tables will not be viable. “We’re not opening until at least May 25, it’s not worth it,” said Heidi, pointing out the rules are still not clear with regards to the distance between tables for example. “We won’t be able to offer our carvery, as you can only serve to the table. Social security payments alone cost thousands a month, and then there is autonomo. “We are in regular contact with customers, and most of them do not want to leave the house just yet, so we would rather wait a couple of weeks.”
FOR El Barril German restaurant in Las Marinas, Denia, it still a little too early to say for sure exactly what date they plan to start serving customers once again, but it will hopefully be within the next three weeks. Ilona said: “At the moment we do not know for sure, but it won’t be May 11. We are talking to our lawyers next week and I think it is going to be more likely to be May 15 when we reopen. “We need to have a lot more information about things like exactly how many tables we can serve and how. Things are complicated and there is a lot to sort out but we look forward to opening.”
Jemma Wilson, Rosie Lees cafe-bar and teashop in Turre “IT has been a scary place to be,” Turre’s Rosie Lees cafe-bar and teashop owner Jemma Wilson told EWN. Jemma said the impact of having to close her business’s doors and all the uncertainty about how long it would be before she could open up shop again and under what conditions, as well as with the correct safety measures in place, has been an enormous worry. Not only has she had all the concerns as a cafe owner of having to
deal with a crisis which completely paralysed all business, she also feels responsibility for her staff and for her customers, stressing “I don’t want to compromise their safety.” As for what will happen to her business this month and next, Jemma says “it is very much going to depend on the government’s approach to lifting the lockdown and the additional support available through the de-escalation, especially from the staff perspective and the impact on them.”

Irrespective of the obvious need to pull everyone together and encourage unity against this devastating virus, this organisation continues to take every opportunity to cause unrest and disquiet among the citizens of the UK - ie their recent Panorama offering - unrepentantly doing all they can to turn the whole thing into a political exercise and bring the government into disrepute. Even their reporting of the government managing to reach their promised target of testing was reported through gritted teeth and some kind of endeavour to temper this magnificent effort by coming up with the lame excuse that ‘numbers of the tests had been carried out at home’!

Adding insult to injury
RECENT OFFERING: The BBC need reined in and brought under some kind of collective control. When was the last time you observed this lot actually praise anything this government has done in its handling of the crisis? Well I certainly can’t. These left wing manipulators will never forgive the Conservative Party for the drubbing their leftie pals received at the last election. And it doesn’t end there. Their recent handling and subsequent corruption of the interview of their other arch
enemy Donald Trump, really does merit some kind of legal action. When they gleefully showed the President stating his views on how a virus vaccination could possibly be some derivative of bleach or heat, they made it appear that he had stridden out to the podium and launched into some maniacal mad scientist tirade. What they conveniently edited out was the footage
that showed Trump had already been on stage listening to scientists discussing these very possibilities for some 20 minutes before he made his remarks. He was merely making loose comments regarding what they had already been lectured on by medical experts. Although his reactions were somewhat bumbling, taken in their true context, they were nowhere near as
crazed as this biased bunch attempted to dupe the public into believing. You know what really gets me? These disgruntled jokers actually sit in their multi-million studios of the BBC plotting and conniving how they can manipulate and alter their biased reports to suit their own ends and the British taxpayer is actually footing the bill! Talk about adding insult to injury. The sooner this organisation is replaced by a team of unbiased presenters and directors who simply report the truth and not use their constant outpourings as a means to their own political ends the better. What about a few positive messages of an enemy being slowly but surely overcome? What about an upbeat touch of ‘hope and glory’? Heaven knows the viewing public could certainly do with it.

CONSULAR MATTERS THIS is the title of one of the books written by the author Gabriel García Márquez who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. It is one of the best books that I have read and it reminds me of those endless summer afternoons sitting on the sand at the beach watching the evening fall. I read it when I was still at university studying the last year of my Law degree and I never thought that I would experience a situation that would come anywhere near the epidemic situation in which part of the story of the characters in the book unfolds. And that is why my consular history of recent weeks can be titled alluding to the title of the book by my beloved Colombian writer ‘Collaboration in the times of the Coronavirus.’ The law firm that I run here on the Costa Del Sol ‘Just Law

Love in the time of Cholera
CONSULAR CORPS OF MALAGA: The members have all worked with each other. Spanish Solicitors’ has been prepared for teleworking and online services for a long time, this is an essential service to society, we lawyers cannot stop our activity, but for a week before the State of Alarm was decreed we had already prepared the Danish Consulate in Malaga, to whose team I dedicated my column last month to face the coronavirus challenge. I take this opportunity
to convey to my readers my satisfaction because having counted the hours spent and the issues resolved in our Consulate, we have been able to effectively deal with the greatest workload that a Danish consulate has ever had in Spain. Today we have to thank the collaboration, camaraderie and friendship of my colleagues from the Consular Corps of Malaga. The
Consular Corps of Malaga is made up of 42 countries and each of them has had its own circumstances and problems to face in order to attend to and resolve the different problems of its citizens. During the coronavirus alarm, the members of the Consular Corps of Malaga have all worked with each other. We have been generous and have worked tirelessly to give support to each

other. We have shared problems, interpretations of the measures adopted, legal news, contact with authorities and any other issues that may have served to help another colleague to solve in the most effective and accurate way the problems which faced the citizens repented by myself and other Consuls. Diplomacy is almost always identified with protocol acts and social and cultural activities, but what underlies it is a dedication to work at critical moments. In fact, that is the foundation of our existence, to be prepared so that in cases of extreme urgency or need we are the link between our citizens and the countries we represent. Today my applause at 8.00pm goes to all the health personnel who have proven to be brave and altruistic, as well as the rest of the groups that make it possible for us to continue having our essential needs covered, and also to my colleagues in the Consular Corps of Malaga.

CONSTRUCTION CRITICISM DEAR Euro Weekly News, I went food shopping to Aldi in La Cala this morning, and I could not believe my eyes. Five construction workmen came into Aldi without masks or gloves and walked around the store rubbing shoulders with each other, picking up food and putting back on the shelves with no gloves on. At the checkout, they were again shoulder to shoulder paying at the till and the Aldi assistant said nothing to them. On leaving the store and going to my car I looked across the road at the construction site and again was surprised to see workmen together, no masks, no gloves. Is this the Spanish government putting economy before life!! Yours in need of a good cuppa. Kind Regards, Jayne Jenna, Costa Mijas.
Eureka moment Dear Euro Weekly, I must take issue with Leapy Lea in his rant against the Labour Party questioning whether the Tories have an exit strategy for getting the UK out of lockdown and painting a more than rosy picture that the Tories have done a wonderful job in protecting the public
OUR VIEW Silver linings
THE idea that the Coronavirus pandemic might have some upsides that could help us live better lives seems guilt-ridden in the face of the destruction and death it has caused. Domestic violence is up, workers are sleeping rough on the streets, and poor families are experiencing a lack of basic needs. Yet in the dark times, there has been some hope. For some of those fortunate enough to have a safe and secure home environment that they can work from, the lockdown has had some unexpected silver linings. Some people with mental health conditions have reported feeling much better since the lockdown started. For those without an underlying mental health diagnosis, the simple factors of more time to sleep, more time with pets and loved ones and not having to deal with the overstimulation of life, have led to a greater sense of general well-being. Results of surveys of over 74,000 people have shown that well-being has risen over the last few weeks, and anxiety levels have fallen for both people with and without existing mental health disorders. While the trend may yet change as the lockdown continues, and absolute levels of anxiety are higher for people with mental illness than for those without, the findings are intriguing. People who are driven by keeping up appearances, productivity, achievement and being there for everyone have found themselves chilling out, landing in a feeling of relief at not having to put on a performance. We have a precious opportunity to think about the ways in which a ‘normal’ life can make people anxious and ill. If we can change the arrangement of the post-pandemic world to prioritise compassion, pay people decently, value essential workers, and to fund our public services properly, perhaps we can hang on to this silver lining.

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK HUGE tail backs coming out of Madrid and Sevilla Wilhelmina van der Horn Somehow I don’t understand. It is still lockdown. You can only go a few hundred metres from your home and they still get into their car and want to drive somewhere? Don’t they understand the emergency rules or they just don’t care? Surely they must all get a fine!
Piers Morgan continues scathing attack on UK PM’s handling of Covid-19 crisis Penny Cameron

against the virus. I have little time for right-wing or left-wing politics, but Labour has been doing nothing more than ask what the general public, those who run shops, have offices and whose jobs are at stake have been doing - and that is what the government see as the way out of lockdown. No doubt this week we will begin to get some answers. As for Leapy Lea’s praise for the Tories - may I remind him that in January and the beginning of February the government did nothing - and I am sure ministers were still fixated with Brexit, as they have been for three years. During the six weeks, they could have put strict controls on our borders to keep the virus out, ordered masses of PPE and started to gear the NHS for the emergency to come. And when they did realise they had to do something they ordered a weak lockdown, nothing like we have endured in Spain and we are now seeing, day after day, the highest new infections and deaths in Europe. For 10 years the Tories ran down the NHS and care homes. Boris needed the NHS to save his life and he had a eureka moment in realising its importance and immigrant nurses who care for him and who his extreme right-wingers in his government would like to see jump through hoops to work in the UK. I will, however, applaud Leapy for his comments about the role religion has played in the spread of the virus. In the Far East, both Muslims and Christians had mass religious assemblies around January and many caught the virus. Muslims went back to Iran where there is a practice of touring shrines and kissing them and Roman Catholics returned to Italy to resume kissing the marble stone of the Madonna in churches and share Communion chalices. You can just imagine how many of the ‘faithful’ were infected and went on to infect others. Then there was a Spain v Italy football match in Milan... the rest is history. Tony Mayes Playa Flamenca and Sussex.

Goodness me, why isn’t Piers our Prime Minister? He would have sorted this pandemic out singlehandedly, without loss of life and strain on the NHS. He really should stand to be an MP, oust the PM and all the cabinet, and run the country himself as it’s so easy. At least it would get rid of seeing him on TV every day,
Expats on Spain’s Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca Say The Government’s Timetable For Going Out Is Farcical Anne Lacey I really can’t understand why people are complaining. We have been locked up for weeks and now we are allowed out. Be grateful!
Tourist Industry handed lifeline for as Wizz Air resume flights to Spain and Portugal Mervyn HM Jones I wouldn’t think it will be holidaymakers flying… hotels... restaurants and cafes still closed... The government here have only just relaxed the State of Alarm for the Spanish people... That’s going to be difficult enough without tourists arriving here...
Squatters nearly drive expat to SUICIDE as the issue escalates on the Costa del Sol Ena Cummings The law needs changing, squatters should have no rights they break in, upset the community, steal water electric etc and you’re powerless it’s the same all over, communities fighting to evict squatters out of their community until the law changes, we have no chance and also the banks should be responsible for their empty properties as well.
Bars and hairdressers reluctant to open on Spain’s Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca despite permission to go back to work Pierre DeBaas-Tortoza We are opening our salon on Tuesday May 12. One client at a time with time booked in between to disinfect the working area before the next client. We will be spraying disinfectant spray under clients’ shoes before they come in, ask them to wash their hands, wear a face mask. We have disposable capes. We are taking this very, very seriously. When is the right time to open, who really knows. I'm nervous but also excited to get back to what I love doing.

DIONE LOCKYER YOU will see so many ‘gurus’ telling you that you should be happy all day every day. As a therapist that is known as the REAL, RAW AND HONEST MINDSET MENTOR, there are quite a few choice words I could use, but as this is a respectable newspaper I’ll just say... what a crock of cr*p! There will be days when getting out of bed feels like a mission, when the last thing you want to do is smile. Worry takes over, you feel just... mergh and there’s nothing anyone can say or do to change that. When this happens, do not and I repeat DO NOT put further pressure on yourself! Allow yourself to feel however you want. If you want to cry for absolutely no reason, cry! If you want to scream at the top of your voice

IT’S OK TO NOT BE OK JUST DON’T STAY THERE FOR LONG!
DAILY CHALLENGES: Take one small step every day. to release then scream. If you want to sit in front of the TV and watch rom coms all day, DO IT! It is more than ok to have those off days. Those off days are the days that actually help
us grow. They actually teach us what we don’t want in life, they actually teach us that in order to feel better, we have to think differently. They show us who and what
we want to be or do. They teach us that bad days are not the end of the world as long as we don’t stay there for too long. As a woman who suffered with depression, those off days were frequent. I would wallow around in self-pity for weeks on end, questioning who I was, what I was supposed to be doing, who I was meant to be. The more pressure I put on myself for feeling low, the lower it made me feel, the more depressed I became. It was a vicious circle! When I started studying Anxiety Management and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I taught myself to release the pressure. If I had a day where I felt low or depressed but still got through that day that was something to celebrate right? I’d managed to get through the
day and to me that was all that mattered. I decided to give myself small, daily challenges to help me overcome the depressed state I was in, they were as follows: I got through today therefore; my challenge for tomorrow is to smile at least once. When i succeeded, it encouraged me to do more... I managed to smile twice today therefore, tomorrow my challenge is I’m going to do my hair and make-up to make myself feel better. Again, it was achieved. One small step every day has turned me into the proud, confident and positive Therapist that I am today. If you want to learn these techniques with a free threeday challenge, email coaching withdione@gmail.com.
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.

Disassociation in Bipolar MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED I DISSOCIATE when everything becomes too much. I separate from the world. My brain and mind walks away from each other. What Is Dissociation? Dissociation is, ‘the separation of a group of mental processes or ideas from the rest of the personality, so that they lead an independent existence, as in cases of multiple personality.’ For example, have you ever driven to work and not remembered in the slightest the drive to work? It’s quite possible to write a shopping list in your h e a d while considering all the emails you have to reply to and reminding yourself of your child’s school activities all on your drive. In fact, it’s easy to do all of this and not remember in the slightest your actual drive to work. This is a mild for m of dissociation which anyone can experience. When I dissociate because of m y b i p o l a r d i s o r d e r, m y c o n sciousness separates from the brain that feels the suffering. When I can’t take the suffering, my mind knows how to do it. For me, it often starts out as an extreme form of distraction from the negative thoughts. I simply think of anything that is unemotional. I do things that are unemotional. I can get through a whole day and not actually remember what happened, I simply just get through it. Over the years, I have succeeded in tuning out just about the
whole world around me. Engage me in a conversation, and sooner or later you will pick up an odd mannerism: My eyes glaze over, I’m unresponsive. I am not present. Literally I am somewhere else. I can hear you speak but I simply cannot listen to the conversation. When the pain becomes too much, I admit to myself that I am suffering, know that it will end, I just push it to the side and sometimes when I do this, I’m alive and I know I’m alive but it doesn’t feel the same as being alive. (That makes per fect sense in my head!!) It’s like looking at everything from far away or through a fog. It’s not what I w o u l d c a l l pleasant but it is an escape from the pain - momentarily, anyway. Of course, the pain is just waiting for me once I emerge from the fog. Nevertheless, while dissociation is temporary it can prevent me from taking more permanent steps to end my suffering. Because, after all, when I wake up the next day, I likely won’t feel as worn out and dragged down. And when I’m back to that state not in as much pain as before - I appreciate not having taken more permanent action or decisions. I’m not saying it’s right for everyone and certainly too much of it or it being uncontrolled can be bad, I’m just saying it works for me. Have you ever experienced disassociation?

I’m a survivor EURO WEEKLY NEWS spoke exclusively to Torremolinos (Malaga) re s i d e n t N e a l To p l i s w h o re c e n t l y re c o v ered from the Coronavirus. Neal is a funeral director and it would be easy to assume that his work may have been the place where he caught the virus but due to the nature of his job he regularly wears PPE, gloves and masks. “I woke up after staying up late one night, I felt hungover but had not drunk. My throat had swollen up like a balloon, I lost all desire to eat, it was so painful.” Neal’s description of the virus is terrifying, “It genuinely felt like an animal was crawling on me, from my throat to get in, then to my head then the skin on my back.”

LIKE AN ANIMAL: Neal is fighting fit and back to work again. After days of unimaginable pain, fever, coughing and breathing problems Neal began to feel the virus lift. He is finally out of isolation after
a brave fight. When asked how he feels now he says, “Now I am feeling progressively better, I have good and bad days.”
Positive mental attitude
Positive affirmation: Happy thoughts that motivate you. THERE is evidence that adopting a positive attitude towards life brings happiness, reduces stress levels and improves health. Habits for a positive mindset: Daily physical exercise is one of the most important factors to maintain a healthy mind. Studies show that exercise reduces stress and anxiety levels, increases energy, motivation and self-esteem.
One of the habits to prevent negativity is to make positive affirmations to yourself. Each day you have hundreds of thoughts and some can be negative, to counter these create a list of five positive affirmations that motivate you and practice them every day. Studies indicate that gratitude increases satisfaction and improves relationships. Being grateful for what you
have, from the greatest achievements to the smallest details, will help you to value many aspects of your life. Breathing exercises are healthy and beneficial to relax the nervous system and calm mental noise. Exercising contemplation through meditation helps you focus on the moment and see things from a different perspective.

MONDAY: Woke with a throbbing pain in a big toe. Gout. ‘Uhhhh. This is not good’ I tell Fifi, curled up beside me. Pooch gives me a look that says ‘man up, you big girl’s blouse. Pain’s good. It’s nature’s way of saying you’re not dead.’ I extract a pellet of Compy Supreme lodged between my butt cheeks. Fifi really must learn to stop bringing her dinner into bed. I begin scouring religious websites in search of material for my Freethinker blog. Find an item about a half-witted priest - he looks all of 12 warning people not to ‘idolise’ the NHS. He wants folk to tell MPs that churches must reopen in the midst of the pandemic. I take my blood pressure. Much higher than normal. Reports like these enrage me. Glance into the mirror before I leave home in search of

MASKED UP: I must look for a sexier protective mask. a pharmacy for gout medication. With a mask and dark glasses I look like the Invisible Man. Must search online for a sexier protective mask, preferably one crafted in black leather. Nearest pharmacy shut, so I have to embark on a marathon trek to find one
that’s open. Limp home 90 minutes later after clocking up 6,666 steps. Not used to wearing boots. Feet are torturing me. Tuesday: Gout’s eased. Work for eight hours then go online in search of a fashionable mask. No luck. All the cute ones are designed for
kids. But I find one site that suggests that, post-lockdown, millions will continue wearing face coverings, and fashion houses are gearing up to meet the demand. One company that makes chic protective scarves like the one pictured is Polish company Lekko. Wednesday: What joy! Discover that six Miracle of Peru seeds planted on April 7 have sprouted. Years ago I rescued a half-dead plant placed near a dumpster. I nurtured it back to life. It gave thanks by producing shed-loads of seeds, and each summer we’ve been enjoying the fragrant flowers its offspring have been producing. Thursday: Make my first cottage pie in years. Husband Marcus’ eyes light up. ‘Proper nosh for a change,’ he exclaims, and wolfs down a huge helping. In case you’re wondering, no, I don’t serve him Compy Supreme on other days. Friday: The coin-like lithium
batteries that power my Internet banking card reader have given up the ghost. Have no idea where to buy replacements during lockdown. While I can get around the problem by entering a variety of passwords and codes to access my account, I won’t be able to turn on the TV if the batteries in the remote die. Saturday: Boredom drives me to tidy up my tool box. I heft the electric drill and wonder whether anything in the apartment demands a hole. I resist the temptation to hold it against my skull to end my quarantine misery. Sunday: Discover a book I haven’t read in years. ‘The Atheist’s Bible’ which has a quote from burlesque queen Gypsy Rose Lee that’s particularly apt during this pandemic: ‘Praying is like a rocking chair it’ll give you something to do but it won’t get you anywhere.’ The world would be a saner place if we had more people like her.

5 star No other newspaper as good in Spain, tbh not even any paper in the UK comes close that I have ever seen as good as EWN. Informative, refreshing and full of news and reviews, especially like the nonogram teaser and the horoscopes lol, takes me all week to read front to back. Carry on the good work.

DEDICATION: The retitled version is for ‘frontline warriors fighting coronavirus around the world.’ LEGENDARY British rock band Queen and US singer Adam Lambert have released a fundraising lockdown version of the iconic track We are the Champions, with all the proceeds going to the Covid-19 Fund. In a collaboration via Instagram, Brian May, Roger Taylor and Lambert recorded the classic anthem on mobile phones and laptops from their respective homes in London, Cornwall and Los Angeles. The new version is dedicated to ‘frontline warriors fighting coronavirus around the world,’ and has been retitled ‘You are the Champions.’
A post on Queen’s official Facebook page stated that ‘All funds and proceeds from the single will go to supporting the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organisation (WHO) powered by the United Nations Foundation to support frontline health workers.’ In an interview with the BBC, May said they had changed a few words of the lyrics to show they had medical workers in their minds, “It means that we are all applauding you, because you are now the champions. You are the warriors that are saving humanity on this planet.”
75th VE Day celebrations stifled THIS year, the usual May Day Bank Holiday in the UK was postponed until Friday May 8 so that the nation could celebrate the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE Day) with a long weekend and a number of events. Now because of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic, there will be no street parties and no official concerts or celebrations according to Bruno Peek the Pageant master of the official VE Day organisation. He is advising individual bagpipers and town criers to mark the occasion from a suitable and safe location and for everyone to take part in ‘The Nation’s Toast to the
Heroes of WW2’ by standing up at home at 3pm (UK time) on Friday May 8 and giving the following toast: “To those who gave so much, we thank you.” It is still possible to make home-made bunting by visiting www.bbc.co.uk/makea differance and downloading instructions. In addition, the Royal British Legion is calling for a two-minute silence at 11am on May 8 and it is expected that Her Majesty the Queen will make a formal speech in honour of those who died and survived before the country and Europe saw the end of the war.
