Beautiful Kittens Need Homes
Three litter mates – 2 sisters and a brother – are still awaiting good forever homes.
Their mother Rosa is now our house cat and she’s done a wonderful job.
They are nearly 8 weeks old. Poppy loves being tickled! Munkey is a special little guy, funny and very sociable, and Lucy is the pretty dainty girl, slightly shy but coming around.

ITV – Thanks
Thanks to everybody for their suggestions. The turn up at 6.30 option turned into a 7 hour marathon (I did have a good book and ipod). Note to self and everyone out there; if you aren´t getting the garage to do it, book on itvcita.com as soon as you get your reminder to avoid a very boring day!
Flea Market for antiques etc ?
I would be interested in the flea market information as have several old / antiques smalls to sell and don’t know where to go with them?
Anyone have any ideas??
Did think about Fuengirola but it appears to have a 5 year waiting list so I was told… And Nerja seems like a bit of a mess with the casuals on a Sunday morning all huddled around!
I only need to do one now and again so maybe someone would like to share, or can direct me in the right direction
Thank you

End of the Non-Resident Traffic Story
As there has been some interest in our plight, I feel I must inform the readers of Digamextra of the end of the story.
I was stopped by our ‘guardians’ at the round-a-bout at Maro, driving my Spanish registered car with a Norwegian licence. Despite the fact that I insisted 10 times that I lived in Norway and had a holiday home here, this gentleman meant that I was a resident and therefore should have a Spanish licence. I told him that I had had a holiday home in Nerja for 15 years. This may have been his problem, but there was no room for argument.
I applied for a Non Resident Certificate form at Torre Del Mar, and after a week of driving back and forwards was able to collect it. It cost 7 Euro and is valid for only three months.
I took the form to my lawyer who told me it should not be necessary to have this form in the car, and that the fine of 200 Euros (100 if paid within 15 days) was wrong. He could write a letter for me at a cost of 150 Euros and all would be well. I have declined his offer and will pay the 100 Euro fine, although it rancours, and all is out of the world.
The moral of the story is “Stick in at you Spanish lessons”, there is little empathy in any police force, and certainly not in this one.
Happy motoring everybody.

Rental law and 11 May 2016
Regarding the rental law related to the date of 11 May 2016, I would like to
inform you about the following:
The 11th May is not a deadline. What will happen from the 11th May is that
the 3-month-period starts in which people can voluntarily declare that they
rent out their properties for periods less than 2 months.
So basically if you do rentals longer than 2 months, you would not need to
do anything. However, if you rent out shorter periods than 2 months you will
have to declare. Please contact me for help with the declaration:

Also it is important to remember to bring with you your EHIC card, just in case, and passports are essential. On the way to Gibraltar we stop to spend a penny and for coffee.

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