DoctorLaptop – Windows Update Probs and Solution

We all know it is important to keep your computer updated. Many Windows(Win) users set Win Updater to run automatically and have no problems. Good for them. If you are not one of these lucky users there is a solution. Are you unable to do Win Updates on Win XP/Vista/7/8? Or does it take all day if you can even get Win Update to work? This is not unusual, especially if you have a less than optimal internet connection. I now have a tool that allows me to bypass the waiting line and connect your computer to the Microsoft Updater server immediately to do your Win Updates, downloading and installing them without any delays! (“Optional Updates” not included.) This is especially handy if you are forced to re-install your older version of Win and have years of updates to catch up on. In this case it can take many hours just for Win Updates to generate the list of updates available, then another longer period to download and install them. The price is just 10 to 20 euros, depending on how far behind your computer is. For another fiver I can install a Win 10 upgrade blocker, preventing the upgrade and stealth downloading of Win 10 install files without your permission and blocking the annoying  upgrade nag popups and taskbar icon. Call or email me for more info. If you are less than 6 months behind I can do it while you wait or go have lunch. Naythan

Recommendation Kindling

I have found that BBQ charcoal works brilliantly for starting a fire and works out very cheap. Hope this solves the problem of lighting your fire.

Julie Watts

I too have found it hard to acquire any good kindling
I now use fire lighters from Mecadona stores 0.80€ a box
I find one strip is more than enough to get the largest of olive wood to light in our wood burner
One box will light 8 times
Cheaper than kindling
Hope this helps
Yours. Ian

We always used to look out for old palletts and then chop those up for kindling, but it was quite a lot of work. We now save all cuttings from the garden (vines, trees, bougainvillea etc …. not oleander which is poisonous to burn) and leave them for the year to season and burn them the next. At one time a neighbour used to save us all his fruit and olive tree cuttings, so it may be worth asking around as they are only burned otherwise. Barbara

They were childhood friends so Howard invites Stanley to travel to the south of France to expose the American Sophie Baker (Emma Stone), who has convinced the matriarch of the wealthy Catledge family (Jackie Weaver) and her son Brice (Hamish Linklater) that she is a real clairvoyant. Brice has already proposed marriage to her. The Englishman Stanley is an arrogant, rational and bitter man and he leaves his fiancée Olivia (Catherine McCormack) in England and travels to France to visit his Aunt Vanessa (Eileen Atkins) and to meet Sophie and expose her swindle. When Stanley finally meets Sophie, he is spellbound by her smile and the big eyes. Stanley also learns that Sophie comes from a very poor family and now has the chance to marry a millionaire. He uses Howard to help him to discover her trick but soon he is convinced that Sophie is a real medium, shaking up his principles of rationality and belief. Moreover, he falls in love with her. He decides to summon a press conference to tell the truth about Sophie. But what is the truth? With: Marcia Gay Harden. In English.

Home Needed – Tiny. White Kitten

 

(Re-ad because the pic appeared only on the website, not in our daily post)

This white little cutie of 2,5 month needs a loving home. We found her in an empty pool with no chance of getting out there by herself. Because of her poor condition she had to stay with the vet for a week. Back to strength she now is in a foster home, but cannot stay there for long. Please give her a chance and call Maribel on 657 538 612

Services – Head Lamp Conversion

I couldn’t find any headlamp converters anywhere in Spain or France prior to taking a Spanish reg car to the UK 4 years ago. No problem though, they are available when you get off the ferry at motor-spares shops. Halfords will even help you to fit them correctly.
Short term use of headlamp converters should be ok. However, I was travelling France and Spain for a year recently, in a Transit based Motor home with headlamp converters stuck on.

Back to the UK for MOT and on removing said stick-ons the plastic headlamp cover was damaged. Tiny stress type marks, some on the inside of the cover. The MOT tester said it was a borderline pass this time. He’s seen it before where converters have been in place for a long time.

The plastic covers get very hot, especially on full beam and the stuck-on converter acts as an insulator in that area and the heat builds up enough to cause damage. Of course, this doesn’t happen with glass headlamps!

The easy way to remove converters is to switch full beam on and the heat softens the glue so they can be peeled off. Then allow the cover to cool before removing the residual glue, carefully, with WD40. Then wash the WD40 off,

Cheers, Keith, wotsapninatgmaildotcom

Please give her a chance and call Maribel on 657 538 612

 

Please note :- This the final post I shall print on the EU

(It is also, highly informative)   Jane

 

Leaving the EU

In response to the questions with regard to the UK leaving the EU:

Nobody can give you firm answers as no-one knows how it will play out.  It will be a step into the unknown.  How well it will work out depends on many things, not least how acrimoniousness the ‘divorce’ gets.  For what it’s worth here are some of the issues and my opinions.

1.  Residence.  Spain encourages immigration from self supporting people from outside the EU, so I think it is highly unlikely that any of us will loose our residential status.  But if you haven’t got permanent residence it may become harder to get in the future.  This  may be the time to consider your status and regularize if need be.

 

2. 2.  Work permits.  If you work I would have thought it highly likely you would need to get some sort of work permit in the future.
3. 3.  Health cover.  If you have a green card through contributions you should be fine, if you have one on the pensioners ‘S1’ arrangement I am not sure what will happen.  Possibilities:
4. a) England and Spain will reach a new agreement and all will continue as now
5. b) those of us currently with green cards will retain them but there will be no new S1s
6. c) All reciprocal arrangements will be cancelled and we will be left without cover in which case our options are

c1.  Pay for private health insurance

       c2.  Some areas of Spain have allowed a limited ‘buy in’ to the health service, they may extend this

I think we just have to hope for the best, there are a lot of us and presumably neither country will want the chaos that will ensue from just cutting us loose.

But in particular the EHIC will probably cease to exist for UK residents in it’s current form,  so if you are here part time and rely on that you may well need insurance (as will all holiday makers)

4.  Pensions.  Our state pensions increase annually as if we were in the UK.  It will be entirely up to the UK & Spain whether or not  they negotiate to continue this.  e.g. UK pensions do not increase in Canada, but they do in America.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/state-pensions-annual-increases-if-you-live-abroad/countries-where-we-pay-an-annual-increase-in-the-state-pension

5.  Exchange rates.  Current popular opinion seems to be a much weaker pound, at least in the short term, so fewer Euros for your pension.

Of course a weaker pound means if you decide to sell up and go back your Euros will convert to more pounds.

6. Driving licences.  You can exchange a current UK licence for a Spanish one, if you plan to stay and haven’t done that this may be the time as it may not apply if we leave the EU, you may have to take a test.
7. Wills.  The new EU legislation which allows us to make UK law wills in Spain will continue to apply as it is not restricted to citizens of EU countries.

So, if the UK leaves it seems likely to me our ‘place in the sun’ will still welcome us but we will have to pay more for the privilege.

Perhaps this is the time to look at how you live here and get on and regularise your situation while we are still EU citizens and things are a bit easier.  Hope this helps (sorry it’s so long )

Whatever, we are all in it together,  Margaret

 

 

Services Casa Magel B & B & Camino del Rey

I would just like to make it clear that we ourselves do not hold tickets for the Camino Del Rey.

We can, the same as any other person, go to our local tourist office and apply for tickets for the walk. We have to take the passport number and personal details of those who want to do the walk, we then go back 2 days before the walk is due to collect the stamped papers that will allow you to do the walk. Each person has to have their passports or identity cards with them to prove who they are before they take the walk.

We as a business offer to do all the paperwork for our clients, we do not make any profit from this service.

We think that a 2 night B&B stay with nice food and wine in lovely peaceful surroundings is worth 100€, we offer to try to get tickets as an incentive.

All our clients have been extremely satisfied with their stay at Casa Magel and we welcome future clients, whether we get them tickets or not.

An illustrated Lecture in English by Caroline Rayman

Three great families and their gardens: a history of the Astors, the Rothschilds and the Sackville Wests

The Jonathan Anderson Memorial Lecture

Tuesday February 9th 2016

The Cultural Centre, Casa Cultura, Calle Granada, Nerja

Three Great Families and their Gardens is the story of three very different, but hugely successful families, the Sackville Wests, the Astors and the Rothschilds. The Sackville Wests have been part of the establishment since Tudor times and the other two families are wealthy immigrants who came to England in the l9th century. The talk traces the history of the families, discusses their contribution to life in England and celebrates the splendid gardens that they have created.

She was an official guide at the British Museum and has published articles on samplers. Her lectures range from the role of the royal mistress in history to more scholarly lectures like on Frederick the Great of Prussia.

All formatting, pretty colours, bold, underlining, strange fonts etc are automatically removed.

Please – Don’t use all Block CAPITALS LIKE THIS or I may have to send it back for you to put into normal case (This is the way people normally write, with capital letters where appropriate – such as “I” and place names “Malaga”, makers’ names such as “Electrolux”, days of the week “Monday”

You must include contact details, either an email address or a telephone number in the text. If you don’t I cannot publish it. Often I cannot “extract “your email address from the email, so repeat it please.

if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –

janekirkspain @ gmail,com.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor.

E.U. Referendum (1)

Dear Digamites,

The press is full of rhetoric about the forthcoming referendum about whether or not we should leave the EU.  Whatever your view there is no escaping the fact that this may well impact on reciprocal agreements concerning pensions and health care.

There are arguably 2 million expats in mainland Europe of which most are resident in Spain.  I have written to both the MP in my old constituency in the UK and the Prime Minister’s office asking them to outline how leaving the EU would affect us expats.  Neither seemed able or willing to let me know and, in fact, my old MP (a Eurosceptic Conservative) made it plain that it was my choice to move to Spain and that I should take my chances.

I would ask all expats to make efforts to get these questions answered and, if unsatisfied, to make their mark by voting in the referendum.

Thank you,

Phil McAleer (Cacin, Granada)

mcaleerpj@aol.com

 

 

E.U. Referendum (2)

I wonder if any economically savvy Digamites have any clues as to how ex-pats will be affected when we leave the EU?

( this is a pragmatic rather than political request! )

Answers to Digame please.

Cheers John B

 

 

THE PADRON VERY IMPORTANT FOR NERJA.

HELP YOUR TOWN AND REGISTER ON THE PADRON

The Padron, Town Population List, is very important as according to the amount of people registered on the Padron, the Town Hall will receive funds from the Government, approx. 150 € per person per year and the town can have the following services: doctors, health centres, schools, police, firemen, infrastructure, social care. Also Town Hall services such as garbage collection, road cleaning, road lighting, road works, public gardens and staff for the Town Hall. Registering on the Padron is free and it helps Nerja to receive more funds from the Government.

When a town has more than 20,000 persons registered on the Padron, it is on a scale considered as an important town. Consequently, the Government provides more public services and it can have another medical centre, a fire brigade, more schools, a bus station, etc. At present, Nerja has around 22,200 inhabitants on the Padron, of which 6,200 are foreigners, this is a 28%.

Every 2 years foreigners have to renew their Padron and if not they will be deregistered. Nerja Town Hall is very concerned with the Padron as by the end of March, 1,600 foreigners will be taken off the Padron as they have not come to renew their inscription. This will mean losing around 240,000 € funds as well as we could lose a certain number of doctors, police, firemen, teachers and services from the Town Hall.

            Any person staying in Nerja several months in total during the year can register on the Padron. This means coming to Nerja regularly and owning or renting a property. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE RESIDENT holding the green card or sheet. You just need to have the white NIE sheet from the Police Station of Torre del Mar.

REGISTERING ON THE PADRON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PAYING TAXES OR FISCAL PURPOSES.

For Padron information please see Jacky at Nerja Foreigners Department on the ground floor of the Town Hall. She speaks several languages, such as English, French, Italian and a bit of German.

Opening hours: Mondays & Thursdays from 10:00 to 13:30.

July and August from 10:00 to 12:30.

Tel. (00 34) 952 54 8401.  Please phone on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Fridays.

REGISTERING ON THE PADRON FOR THE FIRST TIME

To register on the Padron, please go to the Reception of Nerja Town Hall on the ground floor at the left desk, Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 14:00. Bring the following photocopies, which can be made on both sides of a page and if possible, putting several documents together:

• NIE certificate (a white sheet) or Resident certificate / card (a green sheet or card). Please note that bringing the NIE number written on a piece of paper is not valid.
• Passport or Identity Card.
• One of the following documents showing your name and address in Nerja:

A utility bill of electricity, water, telephone, internet, gas; An IBI or any other local tax receipt; a rental contract plus the last payment receipt.

The title deeds (Escritura) with the page where the seller, the owner and the address of the property figures.

An insurance, a bank statement, the tax returns form.

RENEWING THE PADRON EVERY 2 YEARS

 

Foreigners must renew their Padron every 2 years, as they will be deregistered from the population list if the renewal is not made. This will mean a great economic loss for the Town Hall as well as having less services, doctors, police, teachers and general infrastructure. This is the reason why it is so important to be and to continue on the Padron. Only Permanent Residents will renew after 5 years counting from the date shown on their residence card.

When your Padron renewal is due, you will receive a reminder letter asking you to come to the Town Hall. Nevertheless, in case you haven’t received it, to be on the safe side, please contact the Town Hall every 2 years.

PLEASE CHECK THAT YOU ARE STILL ON THE PADRON

You can check your Padron by coming to the Town Hall Reception on the ground floor, at the left desk or to the Foreigners Department. Please make a photocopy of your NIE (the white sheet) or your Residencia (the green sheet or card) and bring it to the office.

 

If recently you have checked your Padron, for the moment, you don’t have to come again until 2 years have passed or if you have received a reminder letter. You can also check by sending an email to extranjeros@nerja.es writing your name, NIE number and address. You will receive an answer in several weeks.

Services Available – Mind/Body Thalassotherapy Class

Join us at 1400, Tuesdays and Thursdays for 1 hour of fitness on Torrox Costa. Come and try this unique class which is a combination of posture, balance, joint, and core strengthening exercises.  We will practice a bit of meditation, a bit of yoga,  and a bit of movement, all catered to your level of ability.  All are welcome.
Last week I limited the class to ten.  This week, we will be moving to a larger part of the beach, so feel free to invite friends.  My contact email is 1bdywellness@gmail.com or WhatsApp (697 38 59 53).  We’ll meet at the Necropolis on Av. de Faro and walk from there.
A bit more about the class:
Thalassotherapy, from the Greek thalasso meaning ‘sea’ and therapia meaning ‘treatment’, uses the healing and beneficial properties of the sea and the marine environment for your health and wellbeing.
There are quite a few benefits from breathing the salty air produced by the sea breeze:
When water is sprayed, waves of hydrogen “good” ions are released, purifying the air, killing bacteria, and increasing our energy level, especially in the presence of the sun.
– This is why people living near bodies of water high in salt content, such as the Mediterranean Sea, tend to have few respiratory problems, healthy skin,, and an increased overall sense of well-being.
– These negative particles in the air have a refreshing, invigorating effect. They also help increase well-being, and physical and mental capacity. The sea breeze helps balance body energy and relieves depression. Inhaling the salty air produced by the evaporation of sea water can be an effective treatment for asthma, sinus allergies and other respiratory problems. The sea air is also full of seawater particles rich in iodine, which helps regulate the thyroid gland.
Every person needs sunlight exposure to create vitamin D. If you try to get your daily dose of vitamin D through your diet, you’ll be left lacking. For most of us, UVB radiation is the primary source of vitamin D. Getting enough sun helps your body function properly.
Sunlight can be used as a natural way to prevent osteoporosis; gradual, daily exposure to the sun can increase calcium absorption in the bones.
Sunlight energy converts cholesterol in the skin to vitamin D, which is responsible for our calcium needs. Use sunlight to your advantage to lower unnecessary cholesterol deposits and promote the formation of denser bones.

Lost Pet Cat     

This is Dumpy, our cat. Last year she got lost and returned after 9 days,

but now she is gone again! She is last seen at the 27th of January.

She is chipped and sterilised.

She wears an orange tiger printed collar with a bell.

We live just above Canillas de Albaida, so it is likely that she is

somewhere in the Canillas/Competa area.

Forthcoming Referendum re EU

The forthcoming Referendum regarding leaving the EU could have far-reaching effects on ex-pats here in Spain (and other European countries), in many areas, including exchange rates and healthcare – to name but two!

The British Embassy in Madrid is supporting a campaign led by the Electoral Commission to make British expatriates in Spain aware that they may be able to register to vote in the forthcoming EU Referendum. It seems that very many expatriates don’t realise they may be eligible to vote, and very few are registered to do so.

The Embassy is distributing the attached 8-point guide on how to register. If you have contacts with whom the guide can be shared, or events or venues where the issue can be discussed, then please do.  All that British expats need to do is check their eligibility, and then visit www.gov.uk/register-to-vote to make sure they can have their say.

It takes only around 5 minutes – all you need is to have your NI number and your passport to hand, then follow the instructions on the following site:-

http://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

Please make sure your voice is heard,

Thank you, David

 

Warning ! Bogus Gasmen

A neighbour here in Pago santilla, Torrox (Yesterday near the football stadium) received a visit from 2 Spanish chaps demanding to inspect her gas installation.
On being asked to identify themselves they produced a document purportedly from the Junta de Andalucia, but on being quizzed further about they worked for they jumped back in the car – and sped off!     A foto of the car is attached – beware!

Recommendation Buddha House, Torrox Costa                                 Genuinely authentic and wonderful food!
The recently opened ‘Buddha House’ restaurant serves delicious Nepalese
and Indian food. It was such a pleasure to sample the excellent fare
for a second time last night.  I have to spread the word.
‘Buddha House’ is situated in the same place a ‘Route 66’ the Harley
Davidson motorcycle shop on the main road just outside Torrox Costa on
the way to Nerja.
The Owners and staff have a lifetime of Nepalese
experience of running restaurants, one of the family has another
restaurant in Barcelona.
The service is excellent, they are charming people, and the food is gorgeous.
David

Recommendation – Buddha House, Torrox

 I would like to endorse the earlier recommendation for the Budda House Indian restaurant in Torrox Costa.

Went last night and it was superb, the best we have had in 18 years living in Spain.  Faultless quality,

Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

They are Nepalese and will be adding some Nepalese dishes to their Menu soon, I can’t wait to try them.   Jan S

 

 

Recommendation – Interpreter

How to place an article on DigameXtra!

Send an email to janekirkspain @ gmail (dot) com

The subject line of the email should be what you’d like to see as your heading – otherwise, I choose a subject line

The text of the email should be what you’d like to see published – but note:

 Prices must be included with items for sale.

If your first attempt to sell fails, note that a second attempt will not be allowed unless the original price is reduced considerably, nor for at least 2 weeks later.

Photos will only be published once.

Photos must be in JPG or JPEG Format

Please do not send ads for property / real estate.

All formatting, pretty colours, bold, underlining, strange fonts etc are automatically removed.

Please – Don’t use all Block CAPITALS LIKE THIS or I may have to send it back for you to put into normal case (This is the way people normally write, with capital letters where appropriate – such as “I” and place names “Malaga”, makers’ names such as “Electrolux”, days of the week “Monday”

You must include contact details, either an email address or a telephone number in the text. If you don’t I cannot publish it. Often I cannot “extract “your email address from the email, so repeat it please.

This is not a service for local companies to exploit.

The decision about what to publish is mine, if I don’t want to publish then I won’t.

About Photos and other attachments

If you want to send a picture please send it as an attachment to your email, in JPG or JPEG format and try and keep the size down to around 200KB.

Please don’t send PDFs or Word documents.

Your email address must be quoted in this forrmat…I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly   janekirkspain@gmail,com

if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –

janekirkspain @ gmail,com.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor. 

Rules for Blog

The rules for Blogs have changed and it now means that I could face a fine if I publish any negative reviews of any person or company – even though it may be true or half true. Jane

Giving Back: Clean Beaches

The last couple days I have picked up 4 trash bags full of garbage from 1 small beach in Torrox.

Please help me give back to the country of Spain.  Next time you go to the beach, bring a bag with you and collect trash, and dump it in the bins.

Tourist take, residents give.

I know it may be a cultural thing, but cultures can change.

Does anyone know who I would turn to to get signs printed and posted that say something like: “Pack your trash out.”

As I was picking trash up someone came up to me and asked me why I was doing it.  I said, because I like to walk on a clean beach.  He was stunned, saying something to the extent of,  it was not my job, so why would i do it…I believe its everyones job…if you use the beach…keep it clean.  Do you?

If so, contact me so we can work together to clean up some of the local beaches.

Karen…WhatsApp  697-38-59-53

 

 

Passports & Pictures – Update

A short time ago the subject of where to have your passport photo taken was discussed.  I had mine taken at the small studio near the police station in Torre Del Mar, they looked fine and certainly were the right size.  However, when I presented them at the passport office in London yesterday, they were refused, as the background colour was incorrect.  They are very strict about having the light grey background, so I had to have another set taken. That wasn’t a problem, as there are at least half a dozen photo booths in the building.  If you are going in person to the office, I would recommend getting there at least 20 minutes early, as it takes a while to get through the airport-like security, then reception, before you get your ticket number.  Once you have that, you will have plenty of time to get your photo’s done.  If you are going for a 4 hour turn around passport, remember the 4 hours doesn’t start until you have been through the whole process and paid for your new passport.

Recommendation Car Valeting.

I needed a professional cleaning and valeting job done on my car in preparation for it’s ITV, and I called Kevin Lambert ( 693567351 ) mainly in response to some very positive recommendations I had seen. He offers ‘mobile valeting’ and although I live way up in the hills, he and his wife Jenny  managed to track me down, and they did a brilliant job – in very hot weather !

What’s on – NADFAS Fuengirola 

We have for many years been supporters of NADFAS (the National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies). Indeed, I am currently the Treasurer of the Fuengirola Branch, Costa del Sol Decorative & Fine Arts Society (Costa del Sol Dfas) and, in that capacity, would like to invite you to attend the February lecture, which is being sponsored by Blevins Franks.

The lecture is entitled:

Years at universities and art organisations in America and on cruise boats. She was an official guide at the British Museum and has published articles on samplers. Her lectures range from the role of the royal mistress in history to more scholarly lectures such as on Frederick the Great of Prussia.

Three Great Families and their Gardens:

the Astors, the Rothschilds and the Sackville-Wests

“Three Great Families and their Gardens” is the story of three very different, but hugely successful, families: the Sackville-Wests, the Astors and the Rothschilds. The Sackville-Wests have been part of the establishment since Tudor times and the other two families are wealthy immigrants who came to England from America and Germany in the 19th century. The talk traces the history of the families, discusses their considerable contribution to life in England and celebrates the splendid gardens they created and that continue to give us tremendous pleasure to this day.

The lecturer, Caroline Rayman, has lectured for many y

The lecture is on the 8th February 2016 at the Salon Varieties in Fuengirola, starting at 4.30pm.

Please join us for a glass of wine after the lecture in the Martini Bar on the Square.

The fee to attend the lecture would normally be 10€. However, as a valued client of Blevins Franks, we would like to invite you along as our guest.

You may decide that you would like to attend other lectures. If so, for a fee of 45€, you can become a member of Costa del Sol DFAS for the whole season. The society in Fuengirola was founded in 1988 and is very well attended.

The lectures are held at 4:30pm on the second Monday of the month. They are all in English and delivered by accredited lecturers, all experts in their chosen subjects and usually flown over from the UK specifically to speak to NADFAS. In addition to the lectures, the society has a lively social events programme and arranges cultural travel both in Spain and abroad. If you would like to learn more about the society and the lecture, please visit the website www.costadelsoldfas.com.

If you would like to attend the Blevins Franks Sponsored Lecture please reply to us by e-mail

I will be at the theatre on the 8th along with the rest of our team, and we look forward to welcoming you to the lecture.

Kind Regards

Recommendations – TeAuto in Competa

We were struggling to find reviews for a good bodyshop in the area, and then were recommended to try TejAuto in Competa. We had always taken our car to Velez-Malaga for servicing etc, but wanted somewhere more local as we would be without it a few days. Well, I just picked up my car after a partial respray and I am THRILLED with the result. Tricky colour to match but they have done it perfectly. As good as new. Highly recommended.
Price was exactly as quoted, very friendly staff, Oh and they speak English too.
Hope this is useful for others. They are on the left as one enters Competa.

Restaurants and hotels have Tripadvisor, but there doesn’t seem to be anything like this for reviewing garages.

The TejAuto bodyshop is excellent. We will be using them for servicing, tyres etc from now on, so will post again with our findings.   Rob B

 

 

Recommendation –  Taller Oliver, Torrox Costa

Two days ago my wife suffered a punctured tire whilst driving in the campo above Torrox. As the ground was too unstable to remove the wheel with a standard jack, we contacted Taller Oliver.

Within 30 minutes Oliver had the job done.

Recommendation Needed – Builders Merchant

I am moving to a Cortijo just down the hill from Canillas de Aceituno.

As I’m new to the area, I specifically need to find a builders merchant, to help get some concrete, ready mixed preferably to improve a track, bricks, fence posts, other timber, chicken wire, etc,

I would like to ask the readers for help or recommendations please

Thanks in advance  Stu

Recommendation – Services

l would like to recommend Oscar Pinazo for all  sorts of reasons.  He is reliable, arrives on time. speaks English, explains the problem with an appliance and then, looks very methodically for a solution that is most economic.
We have used him a few times now and will continue to do so with confidence.

Margy

 

 

Recommendation – Pellets

I recommend Tehisu in Velez Malaga for Pellet and Wood burners.  They were so helpful when they supplied our Pellet stove that I made a film voluntarily to help them and potential customers.  The film does not show their new displays and models but you can get the idea.

Recommendation Needed – Oriental Supermarket

A couple of posts back someone suggested a Chinese supermarket for getting certain produce.
Does anyone know of such a supermarket in the Axarquia or even Malaga?
Thank you

Recommendation-  Buddha House

David – Geraldine – Stephen

Genuinely authentic and wonderful food!
The recently opened ‘Buddha House’ restaurant serves delishous Tibetan
and Indian food. It was such a pleasure to sample the excellent fare
for a second time last night, that I have to spread the word.
‘Buddha House’ is situated in the same place a ‘Route 66’ the Harley
Davidson motorcycle shop on the main road just outside Torox Costa on
the way to Nerja.
The Owners and staff are all from Tibet and have a lifetime of
experience of running restautants, one of the family has another
restaurant in Barcelona.
The service is excellent, they are charming people, and the food is gorgeous.
David

What’s on  Capistrano Film Forum

Readers and subscribers to DigameXtra are all guests and are welcome.
All films are shown in their original languages and are shown on a large screen
in the Capistrano Social Salon in El Capistrano Village, Nerja, starting promptly at 6 PM.
Complimentary wines (or alternate beverages on request) and “nibbles” are served.
The next film is:
Friday, February 5th           Human Resources (1999)
(France – 100 min.)    Drama, written and directed by Laurence Cantet

The 35-hour work week has all of France in its thrall. We see its effect on economic and familial politics. Frank (Jalil Lespert), a business school graduate, returns to his provincial hometown to take a management position in the factory where his father (Jean-Claude Vallod has been working for 30 years. First Frank makes the mistake of actually asking the workers on the assembly line for their opinions. Then upper management manipulates his findings to lay off employees. This creates a huge rift, not only between labor and management, but between father and son. A human morality tale that evokes paternal and filial love, and illustrates the personal risk behind political ideas.
With: Chantal Barré, Véronique de Pandelaère, Michel Begnez. In French with English subtitles.
For further information on the Capistrano Film Forum, please email Marty vmmargulies at cs dot com

Pension Scans – Information & Warning

 

https://www.lovemoney.com/news/50474/pension-liberation-scam-no-tax-early-access-hmrc?source=10000277&utm_source=newsletter
In a cruel twist victims of pensions scams could receive hefty tax bills in the coming weeks. Many people have fallen for the promise of early access to their pension, often with the added sweetener of getting their money tax-free. However, it is impossible to access your pension tax-free before you turn 55 unless you are in ill health. And plenty of people who have fallen for one of these scams will soon receive a ‘protective assessment’ letter from HM Revenue & Customs, amounting to demands for thousands of pounds in tax. To make matters worse many victims of pension liberation scams may have lost all the money that HMRC is now demanding they pay tax on. This is because many of these scams see people transfer their pension savings into a bad investment that swallows up their cash, or they were simply robbed of their pension by the scammers.

Question – Re Dogs in the Campo

Does anyone out there know if there are any rules and regulations

about letting dogs in the Campo, roam free over other people’s land.

We are troubled by several dogs, all rescued ones, that weren’t local

to us when we bought our property. Now, we have to put up with them

roaming free, and leaving their mess all over the place.

There is also the barking, both day and night.

Is there anything we can do?

Answers please to DigameXtra, as we’re sure we’re not the only ones

who have this problem.

Still seeking a home – Lovely small female dog found in Competa

A kind lady has approached Action for Animals for help as she has taken in a lovely small, sterilised, female dog, “Laica” who she found shivering on a cold night at the top of Competa Pueblo.

She already has dogs and a number of cats so she cannot keep her much longer.

Do you recognise her? Could you foster her? or offer her a permanent home?

She is small, black and tan, approximately 2 years old, very affectionate and sociable and gets on well with people and other dogs – but not so keen on cats.

She is sterilised, parasite free and would make a wonderful companion – she doesn’t need a lot of space.

If you would like to meet her or want more information please email

Julie at

thomson juiiec @gmail.com – no spaces!

0r telephone 638893306 do you know her?.

Looking for her owner or a new home.

 

Services – Change in Alsa Timetable from 1st March?

Previously there was quite a full schedule from 7:15 in the morning until 21:25in the evening but this seems to stop on 29th February. Can anyone shed any light on what is happening?

Recommendation- Oscar – Self Closing RCCBs

I would like to second Steve M’s recommendation for Oscar Pinazo and the self closing RCCB’s he fits. Ourselves and four neighbours had them fitted, and after the storm on Friday evening, which would have tripped out some of electrical systems, we all had power the next morning. A brilliant idea and excellent service from Oscar Pinazo. Pete.

 

 

Recommendation Pellet Stoves

We bought our pellet stove 14 years ago from Bisonte in Velez Malaga.

It is an EcoForest and whilst expensive to buy and install has saved us

so much money in fuel.

It is easy to clean and has required very little in maintenance.

Bisonte are very efficient in dealing with any maintenance required.

I would definitely recommend both Bisonte and EcoForest.

What’s on Torrox Costa Wellness Class

My original ad for this class was published last week.  This is a follow up, with a little more information.

The first class will be held at 1400 this Tuesday, Feb 2.  Torrox Costa, Av de Faro.  For the first class, we will meet at 2 at the Street level in front of the Necropolis and walk to the Playa Chica down below.  If for some reason you are late, just walk down to the little beach which is in front of the ruin.

I do have a release form that I will ask you to sign before attending the class.

I would like to keep the class number at about 10 members.  I currently have only 2 spaces left.  Don’t be shy if you’d like to join.  I will be in Torrox till the 19th of February.   I am developing this class to use when I return to the US.  I’m hoping to help members build a skill set they can use independently in the time I am here.

The cost?  Donations only, and a bit of your time.

The benefits you may receive: Better balance, more energy, lower blood pressure, better posture, and more serenity.

I look forward to meeting and working with you.

You can find me on Linkedin at Karen Lucas, A New You PT.

Please – tell all friends who have a BT email service to UNBLOCK their access to our Blog.     Here’s how:–

Their ISP (BT) is blocking them, nothing I can do about that, they have a message which says :-

Please report any problems to BT via the postmaster@btinternet.com mailbox and include your sending ip address with an example header of your email

and

it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain btinternet.com by mx.bt.lon5.cpcloud.co.uk. [65.20.0.49].

How to place an article on DigameXtra!

Send an email to janekirkspain @ gmail (dot) com

The subject line of the email should be what you’d like to see as your heading – otherwise, I choose a subject line

The text of the email should be what you’d like to see published – but note:

 Prices must be included with items for sale.

If your first attempt to sell fails, note that a second attempt will not be allowed unless the original price is reduced considerably, nor for at least 2 weeks later.

Photos will only be published once.

Photos must be in JPG or JPEG Format

Please do not send ads for property / real estate.

All formatting, pretty colours, bold, underlining, strange fonts etc are automatically removed.

Please – Don’t use all Block CAPITALS LIKE THIS or I may have to send it back for you to put into normal case (This is the way people normally write, with capital letters where appropriate – such as “I” and place names “Malaga”, makers’ names such as “Electrolux”, days of the week “Monday”

You must include contact details, either an email address or a telephone number in the text. If you don’t I cannot publish it. Often I cannot “extract “your email address from the email, so repeat it please.

This is not a service for local companies to exploit.

The decision about what to publish is mine, if I don’t want to publish then I won’t.

About Photos and other attachments

If you want to send a picture please send it as an attachment to your email, in JPG or JPEG format and try and keep the size down to around 200KB.

Please don’t send PDFs or Word documents.

Your email address must be quoted in this forrmat…I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly   janekirkspain@gmail,com

if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –

janekirkspain @ gmail,com.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor. 

Rules for Blog

The rules for Blogs have changed and it now means that I could face a fine if I publish any negative reviews of any person or company – even though it may be true or half true. Jane

 

Thank you – Working together we can achieve so much!
