Looking For Swathe of Poppies in the Axarquia
This may seem an odd request, but a special family occasion is coming up and it would make for some particularly lovely photos if the background was a swathe of poppies (ideally), or possibly an expanse of purple flowers or even something like oil-seed rape. It’s the expanse of bright colour that matters.
The photos can be taken any time soon, in advance of the event at the end of April. If you see an area like this near you and can take a quick shot and send it to me (to save us chasing all over the Axarquia) we would all be extremely grateful!

Dogs’ Lives
Doggi and Otto who I have posted about before are still in a poor state.
You can see them here https://youtu.be/khtAqKiTgRw in the rain and before when they were first shown https://youtu.be/Xe4Cx_v191g (we brought them food and clean new bowls)
Does anyone have a ‘kennel’ or shelter that can be built up that at least keeps them dry and in the shade when the sun comes ? If you can help or suggest anything, including re-homing please call,
Chris

Services Available – DoctorLaptop’s March Madness Specials and Windows 10 Info
(In order to pay off debts I incurred during my recent illness, a life threatening Novotil reaction, I am offering these unbeatable specials. If you have benefited from the free advice and solutions I provide the community now is the time to show your support by availing yourself of these specials. I greatly appreciate your patronage.)
Windows 10 is now stable and can be installed on any computer that shipped with Windows 8/8.1. Most computers that were originally Windows 7 can also run Windows 10, although some models may not support Cortana (the annoying talking search feature that few use).
Special #1: Upgrade your computer to Windows 10. Now only €60 for laptops, add €10 for towers! This includes saving all your data (pics, docs, vids, etc.). Includes installing many popular programs: Google Chrome and Firefox browsers including uBlock ad blocker and Ghostery tracking blocker, Avast AntiVirus Free, CyberReason Ransomware Blocker, Ccleaner, VLC Media Player, WPS Office (supports Microsoft Office files), FreeTelly and FilmOn to view your TV favs (connect your TV with an HDMI cable to replace your KODI box), CyberGhost Free VPN, Adobe Reader/Acrobat, Java, Flash Player and Iobit Uninstaller. Computers with a DVD drive will also receive a Recovery Disc. Normally this package would cost well over €100 depending on how much data needs saving. Notes: you may need to reinstall your printer driver; brand name towers only, no custom built towers.
Special #2: Computer lessons on your chosen topic only €15/hr. Make a list of tasks you want to do. I will teach you how to do it.
Special #3: Get your own simple 1 page website. Only €45! No annual fees. Perfect to advertise your biz or property. Simply bring me the info and pics you want to include. Need to update the site text or pics in the future? I’ll do it while you wait for €15.

Services – Opticians – Opinion Needed
After some disappointing (and expensive) experiences with local opticians we have been going to Specsavers, Fuengirola for the last three lots of glasses and have been very pleased with the service, the eye test and most of all the price. However this entails two trips to Fuengirola which is a bit of a pain so we are considering trying local again.
Has anybody any experience of Martin Opticas in Algarrobo Costa? Reply to my email. (Only positive responses can be published in DigameXtra due to the Digital Defamation Laws regarding blogs.)

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 4 weeks later.
Anyone selling anything must include the make and model number of the item.
Photos will only be published once.
Photos must be in 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 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 format…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.
New 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.
Thank you – Working together we can achieve so much! Jane
