TOUGHER RESTRICTIONS

THE Government of An­ dalucia will announce a tightening of mobility re­ strictions tomorrow, Friday January 15. The president of the com­ munity of Andalucia, Juan­ ma Moreno, has put togeth­ er a series of tougher measures, agreed with the regional government. After a meeting, late Tuesday night, with the Ad­ visory Committee on high­ impact public health alerts in Andalucia, it was decided that ‘new stricter measures that affect mobility and economic activity within the community will, unfortu­ nately, have to be taken,’ said Mr Moreno. It was also suggested that the central government “should start thinking about whether to take a measure such as total confinement” for the whole of Spain. Concerned about the rapid spread of the virus in La Linea and the recent surge in cases in Andalucia itself has led the community President to make the deci­ sion as, according to re­ ports, he cannot wait the 14 days normally left between announcements to bring in the new restrictions. The public will have to wait until tomorrow to hear

The announcement fol­ lows news the Andalucia Government is giving direct aid of €1,000 aid to SMEs in commerce, hospitality, crafts and tourism ­ four of the sectors hit hardest by the Covid pandemic. The Governing Council

plans to distribute slices of a €46.1 million fund to around 46,000 small and medium­sized Andalucian businesses as a matter of urgency. The crisis cash aid is in­ cluded in the Support Plan for SMEs and the self­em­ ployed which was signed last November between the Junta and the Confederation of Entrepreneurs of Andalu­

cia (CEA), the Association of Self­Employed (ATA) and the Chambers of Commerce. The aim is to ‘contribute to the continuity of the business developed by these SMEs, avoiding their definitive cessation and, therefore, job losses.’ “Commercial and artisan establishments, hospitality and tourism intermediation have been severely affected

by both national and re­ gional measures for the pre­ vention and containment of

the pandemic, which in­ clude capacity limitations, closing time and even re­ strictions on opening or performance of its activity,” said the Junta de Andalucia in a statement. The authority also high­ lighted the additional costs small businesses have in­ curred to cover the cost of installing and implementing health and safety measures in line with the govern­ ment’s recommendations. All of these elements have contributed towards “endangering the very sur­ vival of these small and medium­sized companies,” said the authority. The aid will be separated into two lines of subsidies ­ the first is intended for the retail trade and handicraft sector, and the second will benefit the Andalucian hos­ pitality industry (which in­ cludes tourism establish­ ments, travel agencies and catering businesses).

The big clean up Cudeca Hospice appeal IN order to boost income, the Cudeca Hos­ pice in Benalmadena launched an emer­ gency campaign, ‘Join the Sunflower Effect,’ to raise €185,000. This sum is to fund a multidisciplinary home care team in 2021 made up of a doc­ tor, a nurse, a psychologist and a social worker, all specialists in palliative care. A home care team like this, cares for an average of 250 patients a year, in their own homes and makes an average of three to four visits a day, giving medical, psychologi­

cal and social care to both patients and their families. Thanks to the positive contributions of public institutions, businesses and the wider community, the campaign has re­ ceived €179,218 which is 97 per cent of the target and because of this, the campaign, which was planned initially to run until Jan­ uary 6, has been extended to the end of this month to try to reach the targeted amount.

Paramedic attacked in Marbella

A MAN, 52, was arrested in Marbella, for attacking a para­ medic in the city. According to the National Police, he was being treated in an ambulance for possible alcohol poisoning when he began kicking and punching a member of the medical team at around 10.30pm, on Monday January 4, in Calle Palangre, Marbella. The paramedics called for back­up and the National Police arrived on the scene. Following the attack, he reportedly fled the scene, and was found under a parked car. He violently resisted arrest when he was found. He was charged with threatening and attacking a civil servant.

WhatsApp Scam Andalucia tops CYBERCRIMINALS are taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to hack accounts and swindle money from the vulnerable. Warnings have been issued of a new scam where fraudsters are taking over the accounts of unsuspecting WhatsApp users and they assume the identity of one of the victim’s contacts and send them a verification code; once the owner of the WhatsApp account clicks on the link, their account, along with all the information associated with it, is taken over by the scammer. The Cybercrime police department has reported that some users have actually been contacted by the fraudsters demanding ransom money for the return of their accounts.

Juan Marin claimed on social media that one out of every four vaccines administered was in Andalucia. We, he exclaimed, are the autonomous region that has administered the most vaccines. So far in Andalucia 140, 295 vaccines have been received ready to use, and 69,445 of those have actually been given to the region’s citizens. Reiterating that just under 50 per cent of all vaccines had been administered he said more were needed to continue the inoculation campaign.

Ryanair Numbers Down RYANAIR passenger numbers were down 83 per cent in December. Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has confirmed that the airline has suffered a dramatic blow from the coronavirus pandemic and the travel restrictions associated with it. The company recorded an 83 per cent drop in passenger numbers in December alone, with the summer of 2020 showing the first loss for the airline since 1990. The latest figures show that Ryanair only operated around 22 per cent of the usual Decem-

ber schedule in 2020 as Covid-19 measures continue to hammer the aviation sector, and the company has warned that ongoing issues could well mean only half of the normal flights will operate this year also. Marking the worst summer in 30 years, the airline reported a €197 million loss between January and September. A new ‘jab and go’ ad campaign launched by Ryanair on Boxing Day, urging customers to book flights to continental Europe, has been slammed by consumers for being inaccurate and insensitive.

World’s Smallest Giraffes

THE smallest giraffes in the world have been born with dwarfism and are only half the size that you would expect. The gorgeous animals were found by Conservation scien­ tists and were named Gimil and Nigel. Giraffes normally come in

€12million Pyramid Scheme THE Supreme Court has sentenced financial advisor Miguel Olague Roncal to five and a half years in prison for running the largest pyramid scheme in Navarra, reportedly swindling 53 people out of more than €12 million in his property scam. The unsuspecting victims thought they were receiving genuine financial guidance when they forked over their cash to purchase non-existent properties in Madrid, a fact that only came to light after Roncal ran out of money. The scam has been run by the Pamploma native since 1994. According to court officials, Roncal would offer investments, sometimes as large as €2 million, on properties he had no authorisation to sell. He would then use the cash to pay interest to the longest-serving members of the pyramid scheme. Amazingly, when the scam artist realised he was running out of dosh he actually turned himself into police.

Foundation came to the conclu­ sion that both are dwarf ani­ mals. This is a condition that is seen in humans and animals, but is extremely rare in wild an­ imals. Gimil and Nigel are the world’s smallest and the only known dwarf giraffes. The pair should have a nor­ mal life span, but it is feared that due to the stature and the fact the Nubian giraffe has short legs that decrease his mo­ bility, he may be at risk from predators.

Delivery Driver Maskless Biter Arrested Traffic Rules POLICE officers in Malaga centre were forced to arrest a man on Monday, January 4 after he became extremely aggressive when they asked him to put on a mask. The irate individual lunged at the Local Police, biting one on the thigh and attempt­ ing to grab the other by the genitals. Offi­ cers out on patrol spotted the culprit with­ out his mask strolling along Calle Juan de Padilla. When the police caught up, they in­ sisted on searching him, sparking a violent reaction resulting in three officers injured before the man was subdued and arrested. Police sources reported the individual continued to attack officials once detained at the Provincial Police Station, where he is awaiting an appearance on assault charges and breaches to Covid­19 restrictions.

Rescued by Angels STORM FILOMENA left Madrid covered in snow and emergency services overwhelmed. But residents called Snow Angels or ‘4x4 Angels’ have stepped up in a show of solidarity upon receiving SOS mes­ sages for urgent assistance or medical care. One example is Ángel Hernández, who is using the Telegram messaging network and his 4x4, which are scarce in the Madrid city centre. After 061 emer­ gency services were unable to send an ambulance immediately to Mari Luz, the Snow Angel stepped up. Within minutes of the family raising an SOS on the Telegram service, Ángel appeared to the rescue in his 4x4, and successfully transferred Mari Luz to the Gregorio Marañón Hospital for urgent treatment.

Mystery of Madrid dog sled

THE mystery puzzling social media after a man was seen out with a dog sled following the snow brought by Storm Filomena has now been solved. The man is Javier Talanco, a resident in the Hortaleza area of Madrid, who is a musher and competes inter­ nationally in the sport which is neither well­known nor extensively practised in Spain. After 30 hours of snow, he decided to take his dogs out for some exercise, and was caught doing so by residents in the area, who shared the photos and videos on social media, stirring up much

Largest Drug Haul THE National Police and Guardia Civil have concluded a year-long operation by seizing the largest amount of synthetic drugs in Spanish history in Barcelona on Friday, January 8. Officials arrested eight individuals, including the head drug lord, of different nationalities including Spanish, Dutch, Romanians, Colombians and Italians. The operation dismantled two sophisticated laboratories in Barcelona - one was used for storage and the other for manufacturing the drugs. In total, police seized 827,000 MDMA pills, 76 kilos of amphetamine sulphate, 39.5 kilos of glass, 217 litres of liquid amphetamine, 310 kilos of hashish, 89 kilos of marihuana, 2,000 hits of LSD and 1.65 kilos of pink cocaine. In a statement, police said that, had the liquid amphetamine been used as planned, it would have resulted in around 738 kilos of speed. The seizure represents the second largest ecstasy haul in Europe in the past 20 years, and most of the drugs are believed to have been headed to the Spanish market; however, the narcos also had close ties with the UK and Holland.

Spain’s unemployment UNDERSTANDABLY, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the lack of tourists, the number of Spanish adults registered as out of work has risen by 22 per cent during the year. The information was revealed by the Minister for Labour and Economy, Joaquin Perez Rey who confirmed that the jobless total has reached 3.89 million which does not include more than 750,000 on state supported furlough. Whilst accepting that this was the worst figure for four years, he indicated his belief that provided the pandemic is controlled, many will find work in 2021.

Shareholders approve merger PEUGEOT­CITROËN (PSA) shareholders on Monday, January 4, approved the merger of the French group with Fiat­Chrysler (FCA) to form Stellantis, the world's fourth largest automotive group. During an online general meeting, PSA shareholders approved the mega­merger with Fiat Chrysler (FCA) by an overwhelming majority, fi­ nalising more than 99.8 per cent of the three resolutions concerning the merger.

The date for the merger has yet to be announced, however, it must be done "very quickly", according to the chairman of the manage­ ment board of PSA and fu­ ture Director General of Stel­ lantis, Carlos Tavares. "We are ready for this merger," said Tavares who is from Portugal, adding that two healthy companies are merging. "This is a historic moment."

Our response to the question of apartment block v townhouse community was incom­ plete. Our questioner understands that the apartment holders collectively own their block and the townhouse owners independently own their freeholds. So why must they contribute to the apart­ ment repairs? D S (Costa del Sol) In fact the apartment owners also own their YOU AND THE LAW individual apartments IN SPAIN as freehold, and the community owns all the elements outside the walls, such as balconies. It is the same for the townhouses. Your individual garden areas are actually owned by the community. The apartment terraces and the townhouse gardens appear on your title deeds but in fact you have only ‘exclusive use.’ So the townhouses and the apartment block are under one community. The Law of Horizontal Proper­ ty specifies that community expenses shall be paid according to the cuotas or percentage shares of each owner. Because the townhouses are larger, their shares are larger. If the expense is unusually large and applies mostly to the apartment block the townhouse owners are still legally obligated to pay even if they do not benefit. This is clearly unfair to the townhouse owners and should be discussed at the AGM.

Having seen falling sales even before the pandemic, in 2019 it declared a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), a form of insolvency which al­ lowed it to close unprofitable stores and cut rents, in some cases changing them to a per­ centage of profit. Now however with the lat­ est British lockdown and the burden of 127 shops and 1,500 staff as well as a number of in­ house concessions, it has had

to file papers at court as it plans to call in Administrators as this will protect the compa­ ny from its creditors for 10 days. Originally a private compa­ ny with a single shop which was set up in London in 1968, the brand grew and eventually WH Smith invested in it, be­ fore it was sold to the Borders Group and then it was subject to a management buyout in 2010. Online sales have increased but not by enough to balance the lack of sales through the stores and as up to 40 per cent of turnover traditionally takes place in November and De­ cember, Tier 4 restrictions were the last straw.

The name Jaeger was al­ ways synonymous with high quality classic clothing and M&S has seen that its cloth­ ing business has suffered as the market has changed and it may have lost its under­ standing of what is required. According to Sky News re­ ports, the purchase of the Jaeger stocks is part of a new vision to introduce third party brands to retain customers and attract new ones, which is why it was also interested in taking over the Victoria’s Secret UK business although that fell through.

Moonpig share issue likely

Moonpig has enjoyed significant growth.

ALTHOUGH registered as a UK company, Moonpig the online supplier of greetings cards and much more dis­ tributes product from its Guernsey base and business is booming. Founded in 2000, it was the brainchild of Nick Jenk­ ins who sold it in 2011 for £100 million (€110 million) and finally ended up in the hands of Exponent Private Equity which according to a Sky News report is consider­ ing floating the company on the London Stock Market in the not­too­distant future. The lockdown and various tier restrictions has been a financial blessing for the company as it makes much more sense to choose from one of its 16,000 cards on­ line rather than make one visit to a card shop and a

With a turnover of around £100 million (€110 million) and profits last year of £18.4 million (€20.24 million) the company can only expect sales to continue to increase over the coming months which makes it the right time to consider going pub­ lic. According to Sky News, the likely value of such a public offering could see share sales of around £1 bil­ lion (€1.1 billion) but that would indicate a ratio of 10 to one on turnover and may be somewhat optimistic.

Out of the frying pan... LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT JUST watching the start of the Arsenal v Newcastle match. Predictably the players have all just ‘taken the knee,’ with some also giving the closed fist ‘Black Power’ salute. The commentator then summed up all that is totally misconstrued about this blatant act of racist hypocrisy when he announced ­ ‘The players are once again showing there is no place in the sport for racism’! You really couldn’t make it up. Can’t wait to see how long this provocative custom is allowed to continue when the fans are allowed back in the stadiums. The BBC was once again also on fine typical form this week when they published photos of congestion at the ports, which subsequently turned out to be old images taken from their archives. According to reliable reports there was no noticeable disruption in the traffic crossing the channel after the new Brexit regulations kicked in. It truly is time this disgraceful bunch of

public purse draining dangerous lefties was dismantled once and for all. ‘Scotland will have to get in line behind Turkey and Serbia.’ ‘Why should we take on Scotland, the last thing we want is another Greece?’ ‘Any EU negotiations with Scotland could go on for years.’ With all these reports and observations now emanating from the hierarchy of European members, the electricity bill they will be landed with, were they to comply with Nicola Sturgeon’s request for them to ‘keep the lights on for Scotland,’ could well land the EU in the bankruptcy courts! No, I’m afraid this conniving, arrogant woman has only one agenda; separation from the English at any cost. She is not a fool, she is fully aware that Scotland’s acceptance into the EU would be close on a miracle; she is merely banking on conning Scottish ‘remainers’ to vote yes in a new independence referendum. Independence? Sounds more like out of the frying pan to me! All that may become a moot point anyway. When the fishy scandal surrounding the Salmond affair is finally thrashed out, she could be

looking for a new job herself! And finally, with the UK’s Brexit now a reality, British citizens who wish to take up employment in other European countries, will need to go through all kinds of legal shenanigans to obtain permits. This of course also now applies to entertainers. Apparently Ms Patel has refused to make entertainers an exception and without a reciprocal agreement, foreign acts will also have to complete a whole host of legal requirements before being allowed to work in the UK. One of the stipulations is that all performers are required to prove they have access to £1,000 ­ which may mean nothing to the likes of Lionel Ritchie, but to a small Scandinavian or even southern Irish band just popping over to do a few pubs and clubs, it can be an extremely daunting prospect. Also be prepared for a gross shortage of British acts in Spain; only those with residency will be eligible for work. I feel a positive glut of Flamenco acts coming on. Keep the faith.

EXCLUSIVE

Remembering Mike Molina a mentor to so many musicians and DJs ALTHOUGH DJ Mike Molina had met the Shamoon family who own iconic hotels in Marbella, it wasn’t until 2010 that he be­ came music manager of Puente Romano, MC Hotels and Nobu Marbella. Born in 1958 to Spanish par­ ents who lived and worked in the UK, he was one of four children and his parents decided that it was best for the siblings to grow up in Spain whilst they continued to work in the UK. Mike was bilingual and was taught by nuns in Galicia with whom he kept a strong link, even after he returned to the UK in 1966 where he completed his ed­ ucation and became a great lover of the music of David Bowie. In fact, music was a major pas­ sion and his mantra was “I don’t get tired of breathing … there­ fore I don’t get tired of music” and after moving to Las Palmas, he became a very busy and popu­ lar DJ at the Utopia discotheque. He married in 1981 and had a daughter, Tania and although he split with her mother Antonia, he was delighted when Tania gave birth to her own daughter Aitana and he became a grandfather. Music continued to be impor­ tant and Mike moved to Madrid where he became involved in production as well as promoting events and was the driving force in persuading international DJs to come firstly to the Spanish capi­ tal and then to Marbella. He was attracted to this cos­ mopolitan city on the Costa del Sol and eventually moved there when he took over the role of Music Manager at the hotels owned by the Shamoons and he was responsible for the entire range of music played there. This meant that he would em­ ploy DJs, book artists and pre­ pare all of the ambient music that was played in the public ar­ eas which had to be up­to­date, yet not impinge on guests’ quiet enjoyment of the facilities. Just four years ago, he audi­ tioned a London born singer,

A young Mike with his siblings.

DJ: Mike Molina.

MIKE: Music was his life. Mike and Sumaia. Sumaia Alanez who had previous­ ly been a long­term backing singer (with her sister Maya) for Jeffrey Daniel formerly of Shala­ mar and she became a regular act in the Puente Romano. According to Sumaia, they im­ mediately became great friends and she compared their relation­ ship to that of the Sun and the Moon and she learnt a huge amount from her mentor Mike who was always happy to share his knowledge with all of the groups and musicians that he worked with.

Summing him up in a few words, Sumaia said “Mike was the epitome of class, elegance and wisdom and was my true mentor.” Sadly, his health began to fail but he continued to work as hard as ever and Sumaia was with him on the day in 2018 that he dis­ covered that he had contracted leukaemia and was with him on his last day as well. She and her mother were de­ termined that he would be pro­ tected during lockdown, especial­ ly as he had also undergone a

major heart operation and he moved in with them for three months so that he didn’t have to worry about going out or caring for himself. During that time, they devel­ oped a great deal of music which will be released over time and he couldn’t wait to be able to return to his work at the Puente Ro­ mano as he just wouldn’t allow his illness to get the better of him. The next step was to under­ take a course of chemotherapy and for a while his physical

strength began to improve, al­ though his mental strength and his spirit never weakened. His very last presentation was to arrange the music and enter­ tainment for a Nero Premium Vodka launch party organised by Euro Weekly News in the Supper Club at Puente Romano on De­ cember 4. Then things got too much for him and he returned to Sumaia’s home for the last few weeks of his life and even on his last day he tried to get out of bed, but it proved to be too much of a strug­ gle and his body gave in although his spirit still remains with Suma­ ia, his family and his Puente Ro­ mano family. A special ceremony was held at the same Supper Club in which friends from near and far (includ­ ing via video conferencing) re­ membered Mike Molina who had played such an important part in all of their lives. Sumaia sang as, did sister Maya (with popular singer Thomas Henry) and an olive tree was planted in the grounds of the hotel for which a plaque in the form of a record is being produced which states: ‘A tree has been planted in the gardens so that his spirit will live forev­ er.’ In addition to the tree, music mixed by Mike Molina is also be­ ing played in that area of the gar­ den which gives a quite ethereal effect to what is a beautiful area within the grounds of the hotel.

MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man AT the time of writing Trump has been banned from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Think about that. The President of the United States of America, one of the most powerful countries of the world, cannot share a picture of a puppy eating treats out of his hand to his 40 MILLION followers. Of course, that’s not why he is banned. The reason is that he continues to lie and en­ courage his followers to riot and for his followers that read this, don’t bother to pick me up on the wording. The fact is he is banned! Trump has managed to destroy the Republican Party. He has managed to hand the Democrats Congress and the Senate because the people of Georgia, a red state pretty much since 1972, turned blue, and the White House. No mean feat. People didn’t vote for Biden to be President be­ cause he was the greatest candidate. They just wanted Trump out and they proved that by voting. He has continued to embarrass himself and his party by insisting he won the election and the results were a fraud. The result of all this was a riot in Washington. I watched it unfold on TV and it was horrifying to see him appear on the news saying to these scum, “We love you, you are very special peo­ ple.” These were people wearing t­shirts with ‘Camp Auschwitz’ and ‘6MWE’ (6 Million Wasn’t Enough) and waving racist flags. I don’t care what good things his followers think he has done during his term. Nothing he has done can compare with his recent actions. I listened to the taped ‘phone call released this week. It sounds like a scene from a Mafia film trying to strong­arm Georgia’s Secretary of State to lie. In fact, if I saw it in a film, I’d say it was too far­fetched, a President would never do that ­ except Trump would and did. I don’t understand how they allowed him to re­ main in power after the first time he started cry­ ing fraud and he hadn’t lost. He should have been removed immediately. When I had to fire a manager, the first thing we did was get them out the building as soon as possible. We gave them their months’ notice and all their legal entitle­ ments but just got them of the property as soon as possible. This meant they couldn’t do anymore damage to your business or, in this case, country. It’s not rocket science. Invoke the 25th amend­ ment NOW! Email: mikesenker@gmail.com

AS Britain finds itself in yet another lockdown, some parents may again find themselves taking on the role of teachers. However, even with remote help from real teachers, many may find the stay­at­home teaching model quite difficult ­ so here are a few tips. Every day, you must remember to include teaching on maths, English, reading, phonics, handwriting, motor skills, some kind of topic, something promoting social and emotional health and some outdoor time. If you fail to do this, children will not learn. Most children are not able to learn when another child is ‘looking at them.’ Please prevent this from hap­ pening at any time. Remember, too, you are responsible for making sure children do not lose jumpers, gloves,

ZOOM CALL: Learning at home. shoes, socks, PE clothes, glasses and lunchboxes. It’s OK if they aren’t la­ belled as most children recognise their own and others’ belongings by smell alone. If you are considering arranging a school trip, it’ll be enough to go into your garden, eat the packed lunch and return to the house. Most children are only really bothered about the lunch and will be happy once it’s been gob­ bled up, err, eaten. Home schooling or Zooming? Well, one item of clothing that has become essential is the so­called ‘Zoom shirt.’ This is the shirt or blouse that’s kept

on the back of your chair to ‘quickly be presentable for video conferences.’ A recent poll found that 42 per cent of camera­ready home workers own one. May I ask ­ do you ever feel very old, very tired and look, err, a bit wrinkled? Just asking for a friend. Well, here’s a tip: buy a ring light, and wear it behind your head when in video calls. Report­ edly, it’ll enhance your saintly opinion of yourself. Sadly, though, you won’t have as many video calls as you used to... But if you can’t be bothered with all that, all is not lost. Switch on your Zoom beauty setting (bottom left hand corner of your screen), pinch your cheeks, and sit well back. Job done. Here to help!

Do you mind? MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING THESE words are often spoken so flippantly. How often do we stop to take a moment to even know what’s on our minds and how we feel about it? If we do take the time to think about it and the outcome is not optimum or positive, we tend to keep those feelings to ourselves. Out of sight, out of mind? Taking a positive attitude on life is essential, but not always easy. It takes effort, which means always keeping the objective ‘in mind.’ We are quick to talk about things that ail us but if it’s anything to do with our state of mind not being at its best there has always been some sort of stigma related to it. Hopefully we’re improving in this respect because that’s utter nonsense. We all have too much on our minds

and until recent events many of us have gone through our days and our obligations to our children and work mindlessly. Getting things done and getting through the day without much thought of how we would have liked to live that day. Now that everything has changed and we all face new challenges we all have to really consider the things that are worthy of having on our minds: the things that truly matter when it all comes down to ‘it’; and above all the people that matter. It’s very hard to know what we do want in this lifetime and it certainly seems much easier to identify what we don’t want as we tend to spend a lot of time discussing it. In fact people like to hear the bad news, we seem to revel in it. If only therefore we could keep in mind that as far as we know we are all energy and vibration, we’d realise that logically, if we concentrate on the negative aspects of life, we will vibrate on a low frequency; which isn’t exactly a joyous one. Like attracts like.

Adverse things happen, to us all, but if we wallow in them they only get worse. Starting off our day mindfully with positive intentions will help keep things in perspective. A quick run through our plans for the day ahead, envisioning the things we will accomplish and the fun things we’ll do, anticipating everything going the way we want it to, can’t hurt us and only takes a few moments. For some the concept that we can change our lives by changing our attitude seems silly, but many scientists go as far as to say that our whole existence depends on our thoughts, feelings and emotions. As there are no prizes for proving them wrong and in the eventuality that they may be right, we could all decide to have a great day, regardless of what may come up, if we set the intention and then keep it in mind. Let me know how it goes!! Much love, hugs, health and happiness for you all!

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Although things are going pretty well, there are some things that could be just a little better organised. The time and money that this saves could be small, but it’s the ongoing positive attitude that counts. There have been times recently when you have wondered if your progress on a certain matter would ever start up again.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is better if you don’t get involved in any high profile, high risk business deals. Success is not assured. This is a time for financial consolidation. Count your pennies and see the pounds collecting in the future. On a cold winter’s night it can give a pleasant glow to realise your action during the summer is keeping you warm.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Partnerships see you leap ahead on something that was a bit stuck in the mud. A leap in your bank balance follows. Some quick decisions may be called for so it is better to share responsibilities, whatever the outcome. You have a chance to show just how clever you can be, but do it because it gives you personal satisfaction rather than to impress.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After a hectic start to the week, things seem to have slowed down. Look carefully at what has happened, but remember that there is no point in worrying over something that you cannot change. Sitting tight and waiting for this period to pass could be the best solution. Certainly, it will prove less stressful than fighting a losing corner.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Money is good and this can make you over-confident. Beware bank managers offering loans in large amounts. Nothing is for free and you need to look carefully at interest rates right now. Another, more personal, investment also needs looking at right now. Are things going exactly the way you want them to?

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Aim a bit higher than usual and you may be surprised at your success. When seeing the bigger picture, you realise that it is not so daunting after all. If one person can do it, then so can another. It is a matter of how you approach it. What you have to ask

yourself this week is why you should accept the minimum when the maximum is so close by.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This should be a great time for your finances. Any glitch is likely to be because you have overspent. Even if things still need close attention, you can win if you concentrate. A bit of plotting and planning can work wonders at the moment. Most of your big expenses are behind you and if you can just tighten that belt a wee bit more.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Although things seem fine, this is not a time to overstretch your finances. Spending a lot this week without thought is problematic later. This is a week of shifting and changing and that certainly means your finances. The other area is your social circle, where people come and go, sometimes without warning.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is not a particularly lucky week for you, so I would certainly advise caution. Gambling is not recommended. Being clever with money is as much about not spending it as about how you spend it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Look at the long-term picture when considering money matters. What seems like a good deal now may not be so a few years down the line. Someone who appears to be telling a lie may simply have either misunderstood or have the wrong information.

HEXAGRAM The purpose of the Hexagram puzzle is to place the 19 six-letter words into the 19 cells. The letters at the edges of interlocking cells MUST BE THE SAME. The letters in the words must be written CLOCKWISE. The word in cell 10 (MATURE) and one letter in four other cells are given as clues.

GO LOCAL

THE EUROWEEKLY NEWS is urging its readers to support local businesses in the com­ munity by going local through the lockdown and for your Christmas shopping this year, instead of feeding online gi­ ants and superstores. This lockdown and festive period we challenge you to re­ discover your local high streets, markets, butchers, greengro­ cers and all of the wonderfully quirky independent businesses

in your area. Due to the COVID­19 pan­ demic, you may have to sup­ port many local businesses by ordering online and making use of any click and collect services they can operate if you are un­ able to get out due to health reasons or lockdown restric­ tions. The joy of shopping local means that independent busi­ nesses can help support the lo­ cal community.

Although it may be a euro or two cheaper elsewhere or on­ line, consider where your mon­ ey is actually going. By shop­ ping at an independent store you're putting food on a local family’s table, and there is no better time than Christmas to give back to your community by making a small gesture and shopping in this way. Many local stores support lo­ cal charities, support and spon­ sor local sports teams and in many cases the small indepen­ dent stores are actually much more than just a small high street shop, they're a family’s legacy, often passed down through numerous generations and support not just the cur­ rent owner but the generation before. For those stores which are new, that extra couple of eu­ ro's spent there are supporting someone's dream and ambi­

tion, and also the courage it took them to step out alone, which is no easy task. It takes quite a large chunk of money to set up an independent store and compete with the multi­ national and chains. So be sure to pre­order your Turkey from a local butcher and get your spuds from a local greengrocer, let us revive that community spirit and get to know our neighbours again. You could also consider pur­ chasing gift vouchers from local businesses to help them over the coming weeks, thinking outside the box can often lead to some fantastic ideas. Why not buy a meal for two, an hours tattoo time at a local stu­ dio, a hair cut at a local salon or an online study course for someone looking to change their career path. As people are struggling with finances thinking about what

Helping people allevi­ ate stress and worry , give the gift of peace of mind through these difficult times. Choosing to spend your

money locally will really make a difference in the recovery of the local economy. When we buy local, our money stays lo­ cal, and it strengthens the local economy in two ways. First, buying local keeps money cir­ culating within the local econo­ my. Studies have shown that local businesses recirculate a greater share of every euro as

Data shows that local re­ tailers return 52 per cent of their revenue back into the local economy, compared to just 14 per cent for na­ tional chain retailers. Money circulating through the local economy benefits everyone who is a part of each transaction. For example, let’s look at a local farmer growing produce. First, they sell to a local restaurant, which in turn prepares the fresh produce and sells it to local cus­ tomers. The farmer pays its local employees and the restaurant uses revenue from sales to buy supplies from a neighbourhood hardware

store. This exam­ ple illustrates how the recircu­ lation of money in the local

economy leads to a stronger fi­ nancial foundation for our neighbours and communities. Buying local also fuels new employment and job opportu­ nities for people within our community. Studies show, lo­ cally owned businesses employ more people per unit of sales and retain more employees over time. A fantastic example of how to support your local commu­ nity is with a Charity Gift certifi­ cate, why not donate to your loved one’s favourite cause.

Mother arrested

LEFT ALONE: The young girl was found in the early hours. A WOMAN was arrested for leaving her seven­year­old daughter alone in their home in the early hours of the morning in Malaga. When the child awoke in the dark and called out for her moth­ er, she got no answer, so, afraid, she got as close as she could to the door of the apartment, which was locked from the out­ side, and called for help. A relative who lives in the same apartment block heard her and came to see what was hap­ pening, then called the emer­ gency services. When the Local Police arrived, at 2.15am, they spoke to the frightened girl through the door, which they attempted to open,

but in the end, they had to call in the fire brigade. Using their ladder, the firemen were able to access the house from the balcony and found that the girl was OK, other than being scared and nervous. Her mother then arrived, con­ cerned to see the police and fire department outside, and al­ lowed the police into the apart­ ment. She told them that she had had to go out for a moment, but a relative claimed that it was a common occurrence for her to leave the child alone at night. She was arrested for an al­ leged crime of temporary aban­ donment of minors and the girl was left in the care of the rela­ tive.

Get paid for living ‘The Good Life’

FOR those who can remember Felicity Kendall and Richard Briers’ attempts to become to­ tally self­sufficient in the popu­ lar sit­com, The Good Life, the idea of living a sustainable life may not seem all that appeal­ ing. But today, thanks to the re­ moval of Spain’s infamous ‘sun tax’ it’s now possible to generate your own electricity and even get paid for any surplus you pro­ duce, without making any changes to your day­to­day life. Green energy company, Mari­ posa Energía has added solar PV panels to its range of green en­ ergy products, helping business­ es and householders alike to save substantial amounts of money, while also helping to save the future of the planet. The process of installing and

using solar panels is incredibly straightforward. As long as you own your own roof, the Mari­

posa Energía team can conduct a remote survey of the property ­ no need for workmen clamber­

ing over the roof ­ and design the whole installation. The team takes care of every­

thing, from the installation itself to the registration of paperwork and maintenance of the solar panels. A 20­year fully compre­ hensive guarantee gives con­ sumers peace of mind and low­ cost financing options are also available. Those who opt for solar panels see an instant reduction in their electricity bills and any surplus produced will be fed into the Na­ tional Grid, meaning users also have the ability to generate cash from their solar panels. Mariposa Energía CEO, Martin Tye said: “Solar PV panels are a fantastic way to save money, not just in the short term, but in the long term. With 300 days of sun per year, Spain’s sunny climate provides the perfect environ­ ment for self­generating electric­ ity through solar panels.”

This is such a concern that the Nation­ al Institute for Health and Care Excel­ lence (NICE) in the UK, proposed that all heavy drinkers should have a scan to screen for liver disease. These ‘heavy drinkers’ were classed as women who drank more than 35 units a week and 50

units for men. By having a month off it helps the liver recover and detox. Many see it as a good kick start to promoting a general overall healthier eating and lifestyle programme as well as saving cash during the month. According to UK charity Alcohol Con­

cern, which promotes Dry January, of those who took part last year, almost half (49 per cent) reported they had lost weight and 70 per cent were sleeping better and 65 per cent of participants said they carried on drinking much less than normal for the next six months. Last year, the charity reported that 14,000 downloaded the Dry January app to help them give up drink.

Iron deficiency fatigue MORE than a quarter of women of working age in the UK suffer from iron deficien­ cies. Almost half of young girls aged between 11 and 18 also fall short of the necessary in­ take of the nutrient, leading to feelings of tiredness and ex­ haustion. Iron is an important compo­ nent of haemoglobin, which is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen through­ out the body. Without enough iron there is not enough healthy oxygen­carrying red blood cells leading to feelings of fatigue. Women in their childbear­ ing years are most likely to suffer from an iron deficiency

because of the loss of blood during menstruation and preg­ nant women should increase their intake as the baby takes its mother’s iron. Another reason why women are more likely to have deficiencies in iron is due to their healthier eating habits. Traditionally women eat less red meat than men which is rich in iron and swap­ ping red meat for chicken, fish and vegetarian options lowers iron intake. So how can you tell if you may be suffering from iron de­ ficiencies? Fatigue Feeling tired, weak and sluggish is the most common sign as your body is having trouble carrying oxygen around your body, affecting energy levels. Frequent infections Iron plays a key role in a healthy immune system, so lower levels can leave you sus­ ceptible to more infections. Pale skin Haemoglobin gives skin its nice healthy, rosy colour, so low levels can cause the skin

to become lighter, so look for changes in your skin tone. Swollen tongue Lack of oxygen can cause muscles to enlarge and be­ come painful, but this is only visibly noticeable in the tongue. Look also for cracks on the side of the mouth. Hair loss Iron deficiency, especially when it develops into anaemia, can cause hair loss as the hair follicles go into a resting stage and more hair than normal falls out. Help boost your iron intake by eating more red meat and the proteins in meat are also believed to enhance iron up­ take from vegetables, so com­ bine your steak with spinach and you’ll be boosting the iron considerably. Try drinking orange juice with your meat as a study showed that 100ml of orange juice, which has around 40­50mg of ascorbic acid, increased iron absorp­ tion from a meal by 181 per cent. You can also speak to your pharmacist about taking iron supplements.

Guilt & Bipolar ‘’IT’S all in your head. Just focus on the positives.” “Smile and try to be happy.” If you live with any mental illness, then you have likely heard these comments before. Although the person saying them is just trying to be positive and kind, you know as well as I do this advice does not always work. I feel guilty every day I struggle with bipolar disorder. There are some days when I am on top of the world. I feel like I can do any and everything. On those days, I like to get out. But I know those days are limited for me. My ‘highs’ come in spurts, while my ‘lows’ tend to linger longer than I would like. I push through them long enough to be at work and talk to the people I have to talk to. However, once 5pm hits I have finished work and collected my daughter from school, I go home and I shut off to the world. Most days, I sit at my kitchen table thinking of all the plans I’ve cancelled because I couldn’t bring myself to do them, all of the things I’ve done or said that have hurt the people I’m closest to. Then, I think of all of the times I didn’t see my friends because avoiding them is easier than answering a million questions. “Why are your eyes so dark?” “Have you been sleeping?” “Have you been feeling well?” “What is new?” Even though the questions are genuine concern and interest, no answer I give will

ever be the right one. Then comes the guilt. I can lie and tell them I have been fine, I have a headache or I just tossed and turned all night. When in fact, I haven’t slept properly in days. I have been crying for hours over absolutely nothing. I feel like my world is falling apart around me. But which is worse? Protecting them from the truth or making them worry about me to the point they lose sleep and my mental health consumes their every thought? Either way is a losing battle. I did not choose this life. This life chose me. It crept in and overtook my every thought. It has left me feeling lonely and in t h e dark.

MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED How there is no light at the end of this dark tunnel. Even at my loneliest, I know there is an army of people standing beside and behind me ready to catch me when I fall or hold my hand through this. No matter how comforting that is, I still feel so guilty. I feel guilty that people I love and who love me, have to see me at my lowest. I feel guilty for the sleepless nights and constant fear I may one day completely lose myself. I feel guilty for the burden I feel I am. I feel guilty that the ones I love have never considered me that burden. I feel guilty I have this wonderful life, so full of love, and I am still so sad sometimes, most of the time. I feel guilty I have to force a smile that should come so naturally. When I am at my ‘high,’ I feel great. This makes me feel guilty because I have made so many worry about me when I was enduring my ‘low.’ My mind is at a constant battle with itself. So even when I’m happy, as high as the clouds, that guilty voice is always close. Sometimes, looking in the mirror, I can even see her, looking back at me with those dark eyes.

Watch out for bronchitis in infants BRONCHITIS is the most frequent cause of hospitalisation in youngsters under the age of one in Spain. It is more prolific when the temperatures drop and affects mostly infants being a viral infection of the lower respiratory tract system. This becomes inflamed and narrowed so air passage is difficult and whilst it can occur in older children and adults, in babies under the age of three months, it can be par­ ticularly serious in the young respiratory and cardiac system. So how can you spot the signs? Bronchitis starts initially as a cold with coughing, a fever and signs of respiratory distress. In babies they may struggle to feed and show laboured breathing. Hospitalisation is often necessary with the infant put on oxygen and further bouts of bronchitis are not uncommon in youngsters.

PET CHARITY ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care.

Come and meet our current rescues, learn about our work and how you may be able to help. Run solely by a small team of dedicated volunteers, the Centre is located between Alhaurin el Grande and Coin in Comm. de Viñ a Borrego behind Venta Miralmonte. For more information and directions see our website www.horserescues pain.org, our Facebook page Centro Andalusi de Rescate de Caballos or tel. 610 845 491 or 656 935 613 (93322) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public at weekends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at any time. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice.

VIÑUELA THE BAHA WHISKEY CHAMPIONS The other semi­final was a tighter affair with Aston Viñuela defeating Athletico Be­ nahavis by two goals to one. Bobby Smith scored an excellent goal to give the ‘A’ team the lead before a nasty leg injury to Malaga’s Dave Johnston saw him carried off. Dave was taken to

hospital, but the injury proved to be less serious than it looked. On the resumption the Malaga goalkeeper suffered a knee in­ jury making a save and had to leave the field. An unfortunate rebound off substi­ tute goalkeeper Robert gave Viñuela the equaliser and saw them taking a 2­1 lead.

The Viñuelans hung on to become the first trophy winners in the history of walk­ ing football in the south of Spain winning the BAHA Whiskey Trophy. This Sunday, January 17 sees the opening of the Hidromaster Walking Foot­ ball League. After months of delay due to

Covid restrictions, the eight teams take to the field at Finca Naundrup with the first match scheduled to kick off at 11.30am.
