Yucca Plant Advice Needed Please
I wonder if any green-fingered Digamite could advise me. I have a Yucca /palm type plant in a pot on my Terrace.( pic attached):had it for 12 mths: Pretty sure it was green when we got it : now looks yellow!
Seems healthy other than the colour. Has it got something bad?
Replies to DigameXtra please, in case anyone else has a similar problem
Thanks for any advice.
Shingles Vaccination ?
Can anyone advise me if they have had a shingles vaccination either privately or through the Health Service
and if so, how much did it cost?

Advice Questioned
I think you’ll find this came about by greedy sellers and buyers. They quite illegally got the buyer to declare they had bought a property at a low price and the buyer handed over cash for the difference. The seller paid less tax on the profit they’d made (on the difference between their purchase and selling prices) and the buyer paid less purchase tax. It was quite widespread and well known. Of course, the problem was when the buyer came to sell it on some time later. If the new buyer wouldn’t play the fiddle, the seller had to pay tax on the profit between the low declared purchase price and the new selling price…. naughty naughty catchee monkey! This system stops all that and quite right too. If everyone pays the correct amount of dues, everyone gains. (Argos, Amazon et al?) What should happen is solicitors should be sued for not giving the correct information…. good luck with that! Cheers, Keith
Funeral of Brian Lynch in Nerja
Heartfelt thanks from Brian’s wife and their three daughters, Grainne, Cliona, and Ashling to all the people who came to Brian’s funeral last Monday.
It was very consoling to discover how much love and respect people had for Brian.
Many thanks to all the people who turned out from GINS.
Thanks also to the members of Club International of Nerja.
We were delighted so many people came from Ireland.
Rest in peace dear Brian. We were blessed to have known you xx
Regards, Mary Lynch.
Services –Electricity Supply – Torrox Costa – comparison
Hello Digamites,
I would like to compare my electricity bills to anyone in a similar situation, and see if my supply is expensive or whether there is a better deal to be had.
I have a two-bed apartment in Torrox Costa, which I currently use as a holiday home. I’ve had a new boiler. I have a washing machine, fridge-freezer, 4 electric hot plates and lights.
Between May and July last year my bill with Endesa was 48.68 euro for the contract (3 phases 400V) and 5.56 euro for consumption. During this time the property was empty and all electricity switched off. (Power: 6,92 KW (6920W). Electrical Tension: 380V. Type of product with Endesa “Tarifa Luz Endesa”).
Apparently I do not have any appliances working with 380V now. I have been told I need to change the electricity supply to 230V, change fuses in the fuse box and get an electricity certificate. I have also been told it is a little expensive. Additionally I wonder how much Endesa would charge for their work changing things over?
I’m sure I’m not the first to ask these kind of questions and would be very grateful for any advice, especially costs.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Recommendation – Gardener
I would like to recommend Ulrich Loos for gardening,
he knows all there is to know about plants and planting and how to
make a garden look beautiful and interesting.
He has done the most amazing job on my patch of wilderness,
putting in steps and paths all made from the rock lying around.
Ulrich is originally from Germany but has lived in Southern Ireland
for most of his life so his German and English are perfect.
He will do any gardening work including maintenance but his flair is great for people not good at knowing where to plant what. It is not easy in this climate to get it right.
Contact for him is :
