New Home Needed for Husky Cross  

Husky01 husky02

Husky cross beauty needs an active home – aged 2 years old and only 15 kg as she’s crossed with a smaller breed. Comes with passport, just had new vaccines and rabies, is chipped and neutered. She has also just been groomed for the summer heat but has amazing long hair for when its cooler. Comes with large dog crate – she loves her indoor kennel as it’s her space, blankets, bowls, lead, collar, harness, toys and some food

Due to a chronic health condition diagnosis , she is getting very bored with short walks due to my health and would really enjoy running or a house with land. She’s extremely bright and could easily do agility or training awards or even hunting. She’s very good travelling long distances in the car and loves walks.

Would prefer her with older children as she can be bouncy, and medium / large dogs as small ones seem to scare her as do house cats.

She is the kind of dog that people stop us to ask us where we had her and what breed  as she’s that gorgeous. If you think you could offer this girl a home  then please email me or call on 0034 684 226996 so we can arrange a meeting and a home check.

Gracias

 

 

Spanish Language Practice – Thanks

Can I thank all those kind people via Digamextra who contacted me with options to practice my Spanish conversation. Barbara

 

 

Heaps of sand on Torrox Beach? Response

Kevin.

Many thanks Kevin. (Jane Editor)

 

 

Of  interest to Animal Owners

Seeing the post about the animal shop next to Wortens has prompted me about an animal products website I found while trawling the internet which I thought would be of some interest to fellow readers. It is called animalclan.com/es/ it is only in Spanish and Portuguese but the products are all known makes so shouldn’t be a problem.

I ordered an Excalibur collar and 4 advantix pipettes and saved over €20 compared to vet/pet shop prices, free delivery on orders over €25 and the bonus is it is also local, when the package arrived it had a sender’s address in Calle Carabeo 4, so there may well be a shop there as well.

Tiendanimal – new store !

I just wanted to let everyone know that the fabulous Spanish pet store Tiendanimal has just opened a new location at El Ingenio next to Worton.
If you have not heard of Tiendanimal but have pets, you owe yourself a favor to check out their huge selection either at their store or online at tiendanimal.es where they have a larger selection. The website also has English translation. You can order online and pick up from the store for no charge. My husband and I have been shopping with Tiendanimal since they opened their shop in Malaga across from Bauhaus, we are thrilled to have a closer location.
The gentlemen who opened the stores and online shop are true animal lovers and all of their employees are pet owners. They have animals for adoption in their shops, but these are abandoned animals looking for homes, not from a puppy mill or cattery and they have large areas to play and run!
We are very happy with the selection that they offer, especially in dog and cat food that are all natural and contain no cereals and are 80% or more meat or dried meat. Our animals love them.
They also have everything for birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish tanks and everything else under the sun!

Beaches & Dead Fish ?

Were there any posts about this? Any info?
Plus is there any info about the breakwaters on Torrox beach? One has been constructed near the lighthouse, where is the other going to be? There are huge piles of sand on beach in front of Iberia hotel, thought maybe this is something to do with it.
Answers to digamextra por favor.  Christine

Services Needed – Speaking Spanish – Spanish Conversation

When we first moved to Spain many years ago we had ‘proper’ private Spanish lessons, learning to conjugate verbs with weekly homework etc. I used to be fairly reasonable at speaking the language but in recent years, having moved to an area where we rarely see anyone to speak to, I have lost my confidence and seem unable to put together a coherent sentence in Spanish these days. I have also noticed that Spanish people serving in local shops and the Post Office now also break into English when I am trying to practice my Spanish, which doesn’t help!

I don’t want to start again with beginner’s lessons as I am not too bad at the theory and can read Spanish fairly well. I really need to be able to speak and practice the language more and to rebuild my confidence again. Can anyone offer any suggestions or help please? (I am in the Torrox area.)

Rental Needed- February 2017

Looking to rent a 3 bedroom villa near Burriana or Parador area from 10th February 2017 till 10th March

Ring Brian on 633362203

 

Recommendation –Interpreter

We engaged Kaye Riley of 650102640 for a hospital visit at Velez hospital and cannot speak highly enough. We met Kaye for coffee beforehand to put her in the picture. A very confident, understanding person who has very reasonable prices.
Derek & Barbara Nerja

 

 

Recommendation Needed – Framing & Restoration

I have just had another large oil painting framed by Manolo at Brea on Calle Carabeo in Nerja, just across from Restaurante 34. We have previously had several other paintings framed by him. The frames are custom made to the width and color stain or paint that you want, to compliment the painting. I have always felt completely comfortable leaving work with him, even some older, delicate paintings from my family.
I highly suggest them for replacing any old frames or framing new art.
Manolo also does beautiful furniture restoration, which you can see in their shop. Vicky has beautiful furniture, mirrors, art and decorative pieces for the home.
Vicky speaks perfect English as well as Spanish.

Recommendations Needed – Tax Advisor

As we all should know, the deadline for filing our tax returns is only a few weeks off. I’ve previously used a gestor some distance away, but would like to use one more accessible to Cómpeta, Torrox or Velez.
My tax affairs are very simple as I own no property and have only two small pensions, so the gestor’s fees should be proportionately low.

Does anyone have a recommendation?
Please reply to to vitruvianman at outlook.es
Many thanks.

 

 

Recommendation Computer/Laptop Repairs – Doctor Laptop

Once again I am grateful to Naythan in Nerja  for resurrecting another laptop for me. He is thorough, expert and very fast to identify and repair problematic computers. Not only do I now have a clean re installation of Windows 7, I can use my laptop with the confidence that it will not now attempt to upgrade to Windows 10, with which it is not compatible.

He also removed bloat software and ensured I had only useful programs on the laptop, and cleaned it inside of accumulated fluff from having dumped it behind my sofa when it became unusable.

Recommendation Needed–Cleaner

Can anyone recommend someone to regularly clean an apartment in Torrox Costa.

It’s along the coast road, (El Penocnillo area) so transportation will be needed.

If ironing services are available too, that would be  a big plus!

Handsome Dog Needs a Home  

Found01 Found 03 Found02

We found this beautiful dog wandering on the road to Zafarraya last week, filthy and starving. Some local farmers say he had been around there for around two weeks. The vet says he is about 7 months old and has no microchip. We have wormed and Frontlined him and cleaned him up, under that beautiful, soft coat he is very skinny but we are feeding him up. He is delightfully playful and gentle, very loving and fine with our other dogs.

We would love to keep him but with three other rescue dogs already and only being here six months we just can’t, if anyone knows him or thinks they can offer him a loving forever home please contact us on anniedotbraviner@gmaildotcom

Many thanks

New Home for Negro Possible

Negro

The blog post of June 3rd had a photo of another dog looking for a good home – a chocolate podenco that was abandoned.

To correct the story – Negro is a skinny, very sweet-natured male dog who’s chained most of the time. He belongs to a neighbor who just gave us permission to find him a good home.

Negro is under 2 years old and doesn’t appear sick, but we would have him tested and help with initial vaccinations, etc., if someone comes forward to adopt him.

Contact me via email if interested. He so deserves a chance.

denise . carlini (at) gmail.com

P.S. Thank you DigameXtra for helping so much. My neighbor used the blog to help find good homes for 3 kittens that found their way into her garden (pregnant stray cat). The mother cat is how neutered. DC

Account of Epic Walk for Charity

I would like to add my two centimos worth to the CUDECA fundraising activities mentioned recently.

I have just returned home from my fourth walk along the Camino de Santiago, this time on the Camino del Norte, along the north coast of Spain from the French border at Irun to Ferrol in the west and then along the Camino Ingles to Santiago de Compostela.  I recorded 971 kms walked along the route from accommodation to accommodation, but I also covered many more kilometres walking around the various destinations after my arrival each day.  Much of my walk hugged the coastline, occasionally trailing across beautiful deserted beaches, sometimes necessitating a ferry ride across an estuary, often high above the pounding waves on the edge of towering cliffs.  There were magnificent views in all directions, with coast to the right and snow-topped mountain ranges to the left, but there was also a great deal of road walking on this camino, which was quite hard-going.  And a great deal of elevation most days, particularly for the first week.

Between the two caminos Norte and Ingles, I sort of did my own thing and for several days followed really remote tracks and saw not another soul walking for five of the seven days I was ‘off piste’.  I made it to the northern most tip of Spain at Estaca de Bares (seen in the accompanying photo) and pushed myself so far outside my comfort zone that I have almost forgotten where it used to be.  I honestly didn’t know I had it in me to do something like this – it is amazing what we can do if we push ourselves a little.

I met some lovely people along the way of all ages, from all corners of the world and was delighted to meet up with some of them when I arrived in Santiago.

During the five weeks that I was away, my partner David has been raising sponsorship funds in support of CUDECA and Save the Children (all funds raised will be donated to the charities mentioned, I have funded my walk entirely myself).  Our friends and neighbours are very generous and there have been many pulls on their heart-strings recently with the various charity fundraising events.  I think David is a little disappointed that this year he hasn’t been able to raise as much sponsorship donations as in previous years, but he has done a sterling job and we currently have around 800 euros to share fairly evenly between our chosen charities.  There may be more to come when I put an appeal in my blog.

Martin (swimming) Debi (cycling) and I (walking) have all challenged ourselves and are all striving to raise money for a very worthy local charity.  My job is done and I would like to wish Martin and Debi great success and the amazing feeling of achievement that really pushing yourself can provide.

I have also received fantastic moral support via my blog from friends here and in the UK and from followers from all around the world that I have never met but who have taken the time to give encouragement and engage with me all along the route.  I posted to my blog each day with many photographs of the areas I walked through, showcasing the wild flowers and beautiful, mostly well-cared for, animals I passed.  Please take a look if you are interested, many have enjoyed reading about my adventure – during the five weeks I was away I received 55,000 views. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me and contributed to the fundraising.

Paintwork Advice Needed Please

Attention any kindly Decorating-Digamites!

Some weird grey chalky rings ( 2-3ins in diameter) have started to appear ( again) on the paintwork in our bedroom. They have congregated  mainly on the ceiling above the bed head and on the wall at the same end.Oddly enough last year we were able to actually wipe them off ( we also painted over a few to see if that was more effective).Now they are back again. Is there anything we can do? We feel they are caused, in some way, by the atmosphere in the room rather than damp within the wall, hence being able to wipe them off.

Any help would be appreciated ( please do not recommend that me and the Missus stop breathing!)

I’m at : jon108 at hotmail dot co dot UK or reply to Digame, perhaps, to help other afflicted readers.

Thankyou All

John B

Would the person who inserted the text below,

please contact me as I am also interested in this period ie Thomas a Becket, Margret of York etc etc.

“I wish that I knew more about the late Mediaeval period. I’ve been immersed in the 12th century for so long because it is filled with very colorful characters: Empress Maude, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, Bernard of Clairvaux, Bernard de Ventadorn, Hildegarde of Bingen and so many more. Now I want to know more about the times of Richard III.”

Volunteers wanted in the Cudeca Shops

Do you have four hours, once a week to volunteer in either of the Cudeca Shops in Nerja or Torre del Mar?

The  Nerja shop opens six days from 10am until 1.30pm.

The shop at Torre del Mar also opens in the afternoons from 17.30 until 19.30 Monday till Friday.

During the Winter we have plenty of volunteers but come the Summer many of our helpers have family out on holiday or go

away themselves.

If you can only commit to a month that would be a big help. The income from the Cudeca shops  support the Hospice at Benalmadena and the Hospice home care teams who attend people in their own homes. Please help put life into days for seriously ill

patients.

If you are interested you can contact me for further details  52marylynch@gmaildotcom

Many thanks Mary Lynch Cudeca Volunteer.

Recent Trip to Barcelona

Back now from our break in Barcelona and for those who asked, here are

the details (eventually) of who we booked the

airport transfer from Barcelona with, as promised.

It was booked in advance on line with Barcelona airport taxis  – barcelonaairporttaxis.com

Although the flight was delayed, it was reassuring to have the driver there

still waiting for us in such a busy place.

Chance of a Lifetime for Negro

Negro Dog
This skinny, very sweet natured male dog is chained most of the time.

He belongs to a neighbor who yesterday gave us permission to find him a good home.

He’s under 2 years old and doesn’t appear sick, but we would have him

tested if someone comes forward to adopt him. Contact me via email if interested.

He so deserves a chance.

Car Valeting Recommendation.

Having seen Kevin and Jenny’s entry for car valeting in Digame

and those from various satisfied customers I decided to give them a try.

I have to say that I was more than totally satisfied.

Their response to my initial enquiry and the service they gave was excellent

and I now have a thoroughly clean car once again.

Recommendation needed Weed Killer

Can anyone recommend a good effective weed killer for chino, but it has to be dog friendly.

Thank you.  Replies to meg heron rbl at hot mail dot com

 

 

Recommendation – House/pet Sitter

We would like to recommend Rebekah Allen-Smith for house /pet sitting.

It was obvious straight away how much she loved animals.

Our dog was walked regularly and even taken out further afield by car

and I know he got lots of cuddles,

She kept in touch while we were away for 3 weeks, and left the house

clean and tidy

A very reliable and delightful girl.

Based in Competa, Her contact details are

Thanks again from Rob and Julie Narewski

 

Recommendation –Where to buy a TV

(1)  The best place to buy televisions in my experience is Carrefour, there is one at Centro Commercial Total, near Rincon de La Victoria.

They have a good selection of models and the prices are usually lower than elsewhere.  There is a website where you can check all the prices.

We saved over 100 euros on our Samsung Smart TV

Jan – Benajarafe

(2) I wouldn’t bother having a TV sent over from the UK. If it goes wrong then it would be difficult to send it back (as our German neighbours and found with their new German-bought TV that went wrong almost immediately they came here). They are not that expensive here and we have not had any problems buying or returning electrical goods from either Worten or Carrefour.                  Barbara

(3) Thank you for advice from all Digamites who responded

TV Question

Does anyone know if it’s best to buy a TV from the UK and have it sent over to Spain?   If so who would you suggest?

Dibroomfield @ gmail.com

 

Hot Topic- Europe

Oh my goodness, what a hot topic at Trapiche Market last Tuesday, Brexit and how British Nationals who live and enjoy the Spanish sunshine feel it may affect them personally. Many questions were fielded on how a Brexit may effect Brussels IV clauses in Wills and Brexit’s possible effect on future Estate Planning; for those who are both resident in Spain and for those who seesaw across the channel. www.Legalservices.direct is running a couple of very short, very free seminars to cover this worrying subject for the local people of Nerja and Torrox. if you are interested please email Gabrielle  admin@legalservices.direct or call 951 247 255  and I will furnish you with the details. Otherwise, come and say hello on Tuesdays at the Country Farmers market Los Jardines Del Trapiche on the way to Vinuela ….

 

 

La Hacienda moves in mysterious ways

I have always believed in glasnost regarding my tax affairs so when my little tax haven came to an end this year I was a little surprised, not in the amount of taxation, but in the manner in which it was taxed.  My small U.K. armed forces pension is too low to attract HMRCs attention other than to drop my U.K. tax allowance.

It would appear that the latest tax regime in Spain requires me to have very personalised tax rates. To demonstrate, if you are to combine the Junta and State rates then my personal rates are 3.3% higher than those quoted on the Junta de Andalucía and Agencia Tributaria websites; i.e. my base tax rate starts at 24.8% rather than 21.5%.  This assumes that all of the affected bands are adjusted by the same amount and the new bands apply equally to my age allowance.

I cannot find out is how these adjustments are calculated, my Gestor is reduced to on-line form filling so was unable to help. The ‘manual práctico renta 2015’ will probably have the information in it somewhere but a 1160 page  manual in a foreign language does not make easy bedtime reading unless you are an insomniac.

Is there anyone in Digameland able to direct me to either a website that can explain or the relevant page in the manual?

Please reply to me at DAVEdotCROWE20AatGMAILdotCOM (all in lower case and ‘.’ not ‘dot’ etc)

Thank you, Dave

PHOTO RESTORE

Photographs hold treasured memories which are precious and often irreplaceable.  However, the passage of time can leave photos faded and even damaged.  My photo restoration service can breathe new life into your old photos.

I can refresh the colours and repair damage.  The process involves a scan in the original photo, then the restoration / repair is turned on the copy. The repaid copy can then be printed or provided on a memory stick to take to a printer.

Services Available DoctorLaptop’s June Computer Reconditioning Deal
Naythan DrLaptop logo 1 smallIs your computer is essential for your daily activities? Computers get slower with age. Even if you properly maintain and service your computer it still won’t end up like new. Over time system modifications, updates, patches, hotfixes, software changes and data being constantly relocated by defragging all make your system less stable. Re-installing Windows restores the performance as well as removing stuff you can’t get rid of manually. A Win 7 install has an expected lifespan of 5 years before a re-install is recommended, but your hardware may not last that long without help.
The average lifespan for a desktop PC built in 2012 is 4.6 years.
http://www.statista.com/statistics/267465/average-desktop-pc-lifespan/
The average life for laptops built in 2013 was almost 3.1 years. This is down from an expected lifespan of laptops built in 2009 of 6 years.
http://www.statista.com/statistics/267474/average-life-of-pc-and-tablets/

If your computer is 3 or more years old, and you want to get another few years use from it, you should seriously consider having it reconditioned. This process includes: wipe and revitalize the hard drive (fixes bad sectors and re-magnetizes all sectors), install a fresh copy of whatever version of Windows you use (or update to Win 7 for Vista users), pixel fix for the display (laptops), internal & external cleanup, update all drivers & software and optimize the fresh system to today’s standards. Before starting I will copy off all your data, and then replace it into the fresh system.
This job takes 2 to 3 days and costs 80EUR. Deal ends 30JUN16.

Which Band Played Friday Morning?

Does anyone know the name of the band who were playing on the Balcon in Nerja yesterday morning?  They were GOOD, least I thought so and a French bus party tourist told me she thought they were great – when their guide told them time to go they all wanted to stay and listen for longer.  joanmccallum1 @ gmail.com

 

 

Question re Solar Heating Configuration

I wonder if there is anyone who has experience with this problem out there in Digameland

I would like solar heating for my water but I only have water on the ground floor.

The best place for a panel is on the top terrace three storeys up.

That wastes a lot of water running the hot down to the ground floor.

I thought the best solution is to generate electricity on the top terrace and use it to power an immersion heater in my tank.

Is this viable? Legal? Safe?

Anyone with the experience out there, please help either to me or publicly.

Services Needed – Response Optician
We have been to Soloptical in El Engenio and have been very satisfied. My wife completed the Eye Test in Spanish. I however asked if the optician spoke English and found she was quite fluent,
so I did my eye test in English. She was very thorough and I thoroughly recommend them.

 

 

Services Available-Interpreter  

Going to see your doctor can be a worrying time for you, be it for your annual check up, or for something a bit more serious.  It only adds to that worry if you don’t understand what is being said to you.
Let me help you with that.  Fifteen years experience as an interpreter in the hospital allows me to ask the questions you might not have thought of and to explain, in a sensible way, the diagnosis medication or paperwork you need to aid you on the road to recovery.
I don’t charge by the hour and my fee is reasonable.
Do call me if you have any questions.

Recommendation –Photos for Passports, Licences etc…

If anybody is in need of photographs for passports or driving licence etc, I can thoroughly recommend New York Photo in Torre del Mar. If you stand in front of the big church in the centre of town, next to what was the tram station, the shop is painted bright red and set back just to the right of the church. We walked in wanting photos for a UK passport and Spanish driving licence. Within five minutes we were walking out with perfect photos. The shop owner takes the photo and alters the background accordingly on computer (grey for UK passport etc) and even cuts them out to the right size! Four euros for a set of four shots. Quick and efficient and cheap. Nigel.

 

 

 

Recommendation – Transport Services bouqet

We have just had our goods and chattels transported by Canda removals from Spain to the UK, and want to say a big thank you to Cathy & Alan for their excellent service, despite being caught up in the troubles in France. We would recommend their service to anyone, good prices, a lovely couple who do the job properly. Their contact email is :
candaeurovanservice @ yahoo (dot) com. Ann & Peter O’Toole annotoole8 @ yahoo (dot) co. (dot) uk

 

 

Recommendation – Dr. Laptop

I would like to thank Dr Laptop for sorting out a problem for me regarding the setting up of a tp-link router . I would not hesitate to use him again    .ianandmaryespada @ gmail.com

 

 

Recommendation- Competa Local Police

Cómpeta is suffering from a serious lack of water, so i got quite upset, when I came home at about 18 yesterday and found a large leak in a water tube at the boundary of our plot. The Town Hall did not answer the phone at that time, so in desperation I emailed the Alcalde and the responsible for the water, hoping that someone might still be around. Why do these things always happen on Friday evenings!!

Even thought about phoning the police, but, well, perhaps not their line of work.

At about 19, two very concerned officers from the Policia Local called at our house! They had observed the water running across the road. We had a look at the well where the water could be shut off, but it was locked. They tried calling the Town Hall’s plumbers, first without success, but soon apparently they succeeded: the water was closed off!!

Good to see that the situation is being watched. Also our good neighbor came around the see what was happening.

So, next time this happens out of normal business hours, I will not hesitate to call the Policia Local!    Birgit
