A SMALL but significant sense of normality is being restored in Spain as the government eases the lockdown and allows millions of ‘non-essential’ workers back to work. The move comes as Spain records its lowest number of Covid-19 cases in three weeks, falling to 3,477. Construction, factory and shipyard workers can return to work after a fortnight ban, as can cleaners, sanitation and security employees among others. Ghostly quiet towns and cities will see more activity as an estimated 1.7 million people head back to work. Supermarkets are noticeably busier after closures for the Easter period, while shoppers are still taking recommended precautions,

and there appears to be a rise in road traffic. While chemists, supermarkets, petrol stations, tobacconists and launderettes have stayed open through the State of Alarm, bars, restaurants, cafes and nightclubs have remained closed, and there are no immediate plans to change this. Though the lift of the ‘industrial lockdown’ has been welcomed by many, there are concerns it’s still too early. The President of the Catalan government, Quim Torra, is not in favour of Spain’s executive’s deci-
sion, but with no power to block the move, put forward a plan to ease a potential negative impact. Some of these measures include checking the temperatures of workers twice a day, with the health services alerted in any case of an increase in temperature. On Monday morning,

The Catalan government intends to stagger movements by introducing shifts and to provide workers who may come into close contact with each other with personal protection equipment. These precautionary measures may well be adopted across the country.

EASTER HOLIDAYS AT HOME LAST week Euro Weekly News asked its readers how they would be celebrating this year’s unusual Easter holiday, as traditions and celebrations must be kept within the household as a result of the quarantine imposed by the State of Alarm and coronavirus pandemic. Given the extraordinary circumstances we find ourselves in, some of our readers have gone to extraordinary measures to make sure they make this Easter just as memorable! A few of our readers have truly missed being able to share this special holiday with their most loved ones, something that will certainly never be taken for
granted again. Although social distancing makes it impossible to go over to a relative’s house for dinner, it doesn’t mean you can’t invite the whole family to a video call. Thanks to the wonders of technology, families across the UK and Spain have been able to be ‘virtually present’ at each other’s Easter meals in an attempt to add some normalcy to this abnormal situation. Another reader in Nottingham, has let EWN know that although their camping holiday over Easter was cancelled, this did not discourage them from celebrating it in full force. They set up camp in their back garden to enjoy the sunshine and give their two little boys some form of adventure during the

Confinement comforts AS the nation is forced to stay indoors amid the coronavirus pandemic, it is hardly surprising sales of alcohol and tobacco have soared since the coronavirus outbreak. Social media is awash with images of trolleys stacked high with beer and other alcoholic beverages, as shoppers prepare for a lengthy lockdown, and tobacco sales have shot up. Whether it is to battle the boredom or as a coping mechanism, experts say the reality is alcohol and tobacco consumption is on the rise, presenting its own health, psychological and social issues. Some countries have gone so far as to ban the purchase of alcohol amid fears of a rise in domestic violence. The World Health Organisation has dubbed drinking to deal with stress an ‘unhelpful coping strategy,’ highlighting the fact alcohol is a toxic and psychoactive substance with dependence producing properties, and contributes to three million deaths each year globally. In Spain, the sale of beer rose by 77.65 per cent in the first week of April with respect to the previous week, while wine jumped by 62.7 per cent and alcoholic drinks by 36.58 per cent, according to a study in the consumer magazine Inforetail, which is supported by the Spanish Association of Distributors, Self-Service Stores and Supermarkets (Asedas). The hike since the government announcement is believed to be because people are limited to the number of visits they can make to supermarkets, and therefore buy more each trip, as well as boredom. With regards to tobacco, sales have shot up. But the industry points out this does not necessarily mean more people are smoking, it could indicate smokers are stocking up in

preparation for several more weeks in lockdown. The biggest tobacco producers have recorded huge sales in the first quarter of 2020. So far this year, Marlboro is by far the most valuable tobacco brand of choice in the world, with a brand value of almost €30.5 billion. L&M, which ranked second, is worth €5.5 billion. Sales of tobacco products in
the UK increased by 9 per cent in the third week of March compared to the same period in 2019, according to global data analysis firm, Nielsen. The rise is in contrast with a 1 per cent fall in the 12 months to March, compared with the same period a year earlier, as health-conscious smokers reportedly quit or switched to reduced-risk products such as vaping devices and oral tobacco. Meanwhile other industries in Spain face an uncertain future. Prior to the coronavirus crisis, estimates put revenue from Spain’s domestic sex trade at €24.5 billion a year, with an estimated workforce of 300,000 and hundreds of licensed brothels. But the industry faces ruin, with the vast majority of sex workers left ‘out on the streets’ without much support. Unlike regular employees, most sex workers won’t benefit directly from the package of loans the government or financial assistance for the self-employed. Around 90 female workers at one of Europe’s biggest brothels, Paradise, in La Jonqera, Gerona, literally found themselves on the street when the venue closed its doors on March 13, amid strict State of Alar m measures. Club owner, José Moreno, has reportedly filed for the temporary layoff scheme ERTE, which affects 69 employees, but none of these are sex workers. Moreno told El Pais “two months of closure means ruin, we’ve survived so far, but we’ll see what happens from now on.” A GoFundMe page has been set up on behalf of OTRAS Union to support sex workers in Spain, ‘who are still in danger’ and left to fend for themselves. They have raised €4,450 of their €14,000 since March 25.

Drug Deal Rumbled
AN Elche man will take a lot of beating after he set an unwanted national State of Alarm record by breaking confinement rules on 32 occasions. The man was sanctioned 18 times by the Elche Local Police, whilst he crossed paths with National Police officers for his other 14 transgressions. He was remanded into custody by a judge, mainly on the basis of protecting other people, as well as himself. The man, who has a drug addiction, was said to be in his 40’s and lives in a depressed part of Elche. Reports said that he had an extensive police record, and would beg for money from people going into local shops.

Great Response A ‘JOB BANK’ to boost health resources across the Costa Blanca has seen 2,361 ex-health workers and non-specialist medical degree holders offering their services. The Valencian Government idea was to help increase staffing during the current crisis by getting retired staff up to the age of 70 to sign up, as well as people with no specialism. The total number responding includes 104 retired doctors, along with 1,165 people having a nursing degree, and just over a thousand who have a medical degree. One reason for the staffing appeal is to provide back up for current medical workers who have had to sign off work because they have been infected with Covid-19 or have presented symptoms.

COMMUNITY HEROES Ulrich’s Local Appeal A FUNDRAISING group has been started which involves international residents from the Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa areas trying to help people living on their own, or those who might be struggling during the current crisis. The idea has come from Ulrich Brack, who has lived in the area with his Spanish wife since the mid-90’s. He said that some people were in a very difficult position, and he wanted to give direct help to the most vulnerable in the community.
“With the news dominated by the fight against Covid-19, we want to make sure that residents of all nationalities, including our Spanish friends, are supported by making sure they can get fed and are looked after.” He’s especially concerned with the plight of the elderly or single residents that might have nobody to help them. Ulrich has got the backing of the Rotary clubs in La Zenia and Torrevieja, along with the local Lions club. “We want to raise as much money as possible and we are using social media like Face-
book to increase the awareness of what we are doing. We want to hear from people abroad who enjoy coming to the Torrevieja area on holiday and want to give something back to the community that they love.” Ulrich continued: “It’s important that foreign residents over here provide help to the Spanish people that have made us so welcome, and we will make sure that all of the money that is raised will go directly to those who need it.” Details of the appeal are on the Facebook page, TorreviejaCorona FundRaising.

Cross-border SPAIN-BASED Portuguese citizens stuck in their home country under lockdown restrictions got muchneeded medication thanks to a collaboration between the Spanish Red Cross and Guardia Civil and Portugal’s GNR Republican National Guard. All three of the Portuguese live and work in Spain, but found themselves trapped in their holiday homes in Bemposta after the border between the two nations was closed. They all got in touch with the Red Cross to see if they could help get their regular prescriptions to them, the nearest authorised border crossing point for travellers and goods being some 100 kilometres away.

medication delivery
COLLABORATION: The Spanish Red Cross and Guardia Civil and the Portuguese GNR come to the rescue. The Red Cross got the Guardia on board, who in turn contacted the Portuguese authorities. The result was the literal handing across the border of the medications to the GNR officers, who then did the home deliveries.
At the same time the Guardia and Red Cross handed over a donation of materials for a Bemposta residence for the elderly from the pharmacy in Fermoselle, where two of the Portuguese nationals are usually based.

Twitter Donation TWITTER co-founder and chief executive Jack Dorsey has pledged to donate $1 billion to the fight against coronavirus. Dorsey tweeted that he would move the amount representing some 28 per cent of his wealth from his shares in Square, a digital payments company he also cofounded, to a new charitable fund called Start Small “to fund global Covid-19 relief.” "After we disarm this pandemic, the focus will shift to girl’s health and education, and UBI," he added, in a reference to the idea of universal basic income.

Workers doing amazing job THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge praised NHS staff and other key workers for doing an “amazing job” as they met some of their children during a virtual visit to a school in Burnley, Lancashire. William and Kate carried out their first royal tour via video link, chatting to pupils and teachers from the school to learn how they are coping during the coronavirus outbreak. The couple ‘virtually visited’ Casterton Primary Academy, close to Burnley General Hospital, which has remained open to teach children of key workers and other vulnerable youngsters. “To you and everyone who is in during this time, it must be such a relief for all the parents who are key workers to know that their children have the normality and structure and they’ve got a safe place for them to be,” Kate told the children

Google ban Zoom
CABINET MEETING: Was carried out recently using the Zoom app. GOOGLE has banned video chat app Zoom f ro m i t s e m p l o y e e s ’ laptops because of security and privacy concer ns about the way the app works. It is the latest major company to stop using the app. While it has surged in popularity, those extra users
have brought increased scrutiny to the app’s many security and privacy failings. Many, including the British prime minister, Boris Johnson, have been using Zoom during the coronavirus crisis. US President Trump often used to call the PM with Zoom, not any more.
Zoom has been criticised for leaking its users’ information, making it relatively easy for people to engage in ‘zoombombing’ and crash into meetings, and failing to keep to promises that conversations are end-to-end encrypted to keep them private and secure.

Neighbours want doctor to move out
REQUEST: Building residents asked the doctor to go and live in a hotel. THE neighbours of a doctor in Ciudad Real want him to move out of their building for the duration of the coronavirus crisis. The doctor arrived home at his apartment in Alcazar de San Juan to find a note stuck to his front door asking him, albeit it politely, to go and live in a hotel until the health emergency is over. “We know about your good work in the hospital and we are grateful, but you also
have to think about your neighbours. There are elderly and children here,” the note says. Friends of the doctor expressed their anger to the neighbours’ attitude towards a health professional. “The world is full of ungrateful and bad people,” tweeted Ariana Mesa. “I’m sure this neighbour goes out to applause at 8pm,” she added sarcastically, adding, “Dear neighbour, go to hell.”

It’s not a dirty word
CATALAN Socialist and former Spanish Minister Josep Borrell who now holds a senior position in the European Union has said that nationalisation is not a dirty word. He argues that in the current state of fiscal emergency, it is per fectly in order for EU member states to temporarily take over companies which are struggling to continue to trade, if they seem to be likely to have long term prospects once the crisis is over. Putting Spanish money into Bankia for example was a form of nationalisation.

Generally with its client base be ing young urban professionals the results will not be typical of the whole of Spain and some could have been guessed at, but never theless are quite interesting.

By John Smith First and foremost one of the largest areas of growth has been with regards to the purchase of video games with growth for PlayStation up 158 per cent in March with Nintendo not far be hind at 139 per cent. The second fact that jumps out is that although the number of trans actions in supermarkets has dropped by about 10 per cent, the spend is much higher than usual which means that people are visit ing less often and buying more on
each occasion which is in keeping with Spanish government recom mendations. Companies like Amazon who arrange home deliveries of all man ner of different products have un derstandably benefited as have home entertainment organisations like Apple, Netflix and Spotify, al though the percentage growth in this sector is in low double figures. The recommendation not to use cash has caused cash withdrawals at ATMs to fall by 83 per cent, but the biggest casualties are fast food outlets and retail clothing stores.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Must president be a member? The president of our community of 35 properties has been in office for 20 years and now asks at the AGM for someone to relieve him, but his requests have been in vain. Can the names of all residents be ‘put in the hat,’ and the selected person must take office? Many members are of ill health and others only visit here for three months at a time. Is it possible to pay a nonmember of the community to serve as president? Our administrator says that Spanish law requires that the community presi dent must be an owner. Is this correct? If a name is drawn out of the hat, can that person refuse to serve without con sequence? M S (Costa del Sol) Yes, the law says that a community YOU AND THE president must be LAW IN SPAIN a member of the community. A per son elected president is required to serve unless he can convince a court judge that he is unable to do so. Per haps you could reach an understanding with your admin istrator to take on extra duties in exchange for an in crease in his fees. This would ease the burden on the president.

Diageo pay dividend THERE’S money in the black stuff but that’s not just oil as owners of Guinness, Diageo have decided to buck the trend by paying a good dividend to their shareholders.
This goes very much against the grain of other large organisations which have cancelled or postponed theirs but Diageo are paying 27.41p per share held.
More than 50 per cent of Guinness sales are made in pubs and bars, but whilst that revenue is lost, there has been an increase in sales through stores and supermarkets.
tion of diesel and petrol has slumped. Aviation fuel has also taken a sharp drop as fewer airlines are flying fewer people to fewer desti nations. To achieve this however there has to be some form of unity amongst major producers and it is only recently that Russia joined OPEC+. Another large producer is Mexi co and although part of OPEC+ it is reluctant to reduce production as it needs a constant volume of funds to support its weak econo my. According to the Mexican Presi dent, the US, although not part of either group, might help resolve the situation by offering to cut its own production as a ‘gift’ to Mexi co, although one of the reasons could well be that the production of shale oil is more expensive than production by traditional meth ods.

It’s not only the present situation I find worrying, it’s the aftermath that will see our mental and financial resources stretched to the very limits. I think we need to prepare ourselves for a steep rise in divorce

rates, rampant mental issues, family breakdowns and harrowing tales of personal tragedies. Millions of jobs will have been lost, a multitude of businesses will have crashed and we will undoubtedly experience a re-
cession far worse than any we have seen in the past. There will be soup kitchens on the street with food banks and accommodation for the homeless in greater demand than ever. Hopefully we will avoid rioting and looting in our streets
but don’t hold yer breath! On the positive side there will be tales of valour, victory, sacrifice and succour. The human race is a remarkable phenomena and I believe this horrendous experience will make us far stronger and closer together. Recognising our own fallibilities, will, I feel make us completely rethink our priorities and recognise just how fragile our physical being can be. I think we will be more caring for each other, more attentive to environmental issues and certainly more appreciative of our services and medical workers. Although money will obviously be a major concern, I believe people will have realised that wealth, position and worldly goods mean nothing to a bane that can desecrate the human race in a heartbeat and certainly has no respect whatsoever for material power or wealth. This whole terrifying experience
has been an enormous wake up call. It’s time to step back and smell the flowers. Time to take a long hard look at ourselves and say hello to the neighbours. An opportunity for those, who will undoubtedly continue trying to segregate and undermine our societies, to be shown once and for all they will not be tolerated - with firm measures implemented to prevent them doing so. The one certainty in all this is that our existence as we know it will never be the same again. We must all take this chance to rethink, replenish our resolve and begin to create a new world order of peace, love and respect for our fellow man. And if it has to be achieved with a dove in one hand and a sword in the other. So be it. Keep the Faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com EXPATRADIO.UK

I’VE BEEN IN LOCKDOWN FOR YEARS! NORA JOHNSON BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
OUR lives are being shaped by coronavirus. It’s controlling everything we do thanks to the current lockdown. And self-isolation can affect people in different ways. Writers like me are used to sitting for hours alone at a computer so isolation isn’t such a problem. (And when lockdown’s over, there’ll undoubtedly be a flurry of new books on the market due to the enforced confinement.) Coincidentally, my just-published thriller, ‘No Safe Place’ (could just as easily have been called ‘Lockdown’) concerns isolation or lockdown not from a virus but - spoiler alert - something else! This novel was started over a year ago before any hint of
MIRROR IMAGE RETURNING to Cumbria, DI Barbara Forster discovers her goddaughter has vanished in a case mirroring that of her teenage friend 10 years earlier. Barbara risks her life searching for the truth and justice for the victims confronting a famous movie actor - a quest with unexpected and shocking revelations. The tension builds up with inexorable detail to an astonishing climax in this compulsively readable, actionpacked thriller filled with twists and turns, intrigue and danger, where suspense is ratcheted up cruelly right until the final pages. Murder and mystery, drugs and sex, celebrity and secrecy, all unfolding against a background of smalltown ambitions and big-time egos. ‘No Safe Place’ has you hooked from the very first chapter with its realistic characters, can’t-put-it-down pacing and gripping plot. Highly recommended for anyone who likes mystery/crime/psychological thrillers.
coronavirus and lockdown (my books usually take a year from research, first draft all the way through to final version and publication). And the isolation it depicts doesn’t arise from health and safety concerns, but for quite different reasons. Something that’s puzzled and intrigued me for decades and I needed to explore in this latest book. And, yes, you guessed, the reasons concern a criminal act. Crime fiction, after all, is my passion. Triggered initially by the study of criminal law for a JD (Juris Doctor) law degree decades ago in Los Angeles (winning the Moot Court Prize a surreal Perry Mason-type experience) where I lived for a number of eventful years. One morning shortly after Finals, for example, a tax law Professor was shot dead right in front of me! I never did discover if he’d upset some former client or just a student with poor grades…
And this latest thriller? DI Barbara Forster returns home for the first time since a local tragedy shattered her small Lake District village. Tragedy strikes again when her goddaughter Katya vanishes under circumstances that mirror the disappearance of Barbara’s teenage friend 10 years earlier during a charity fun run on bonfire night - still an unsolved case. Convinced there is a link, Barbara is determined to find the missing girl and answers to the past and... Stay safe - and happy reading! Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘No Safe Place,’ ‘Betrayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-john son.net) available online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback and audiobook.

DO I DETECT AN ACCENT? GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY JUST before the lockdown restrictions became our way of life, I found myself, perhaps sub-consciously going into slow down mode. As if my mind and body could already sense a change was coming, and without realising it, I started moving at a far slower pace. I recall on March 12, I cancelled all appointments and RSVP’d ‘no,’ to all upcoming engagements. For the first time in years, I had no flights booked, and no packing to do usually I travel between Milan, Monaco and Marbella each month. As a first, I had an empty diary and a sense of freedom. Freedom that I hadn’t realised would soon be taken away. During these days before isolation, I became something of a beach hippy. Marbella, unlike other places, is relatively quiet at this time of year, so I spent my days trying the various chiringuitos, from Playa Los Monteros to Cabopino. Some fantastic, whilst others should be ashamed of the mess they operate. After a few days of beach lifestyle, and a number of long, sunny lunches, I finally made it to the far end of East Marbella, to a great spot, Simbad. A place I look forward to returning to, once the outside world reopens. At lunch, as I sipped a glass of wine and stared out to sea, an English man at the next table, leaned in to say he recognised me from my column and asked how lunch was going. He seemed a nice sort - middle aged, well-dressed and smiling. I replied to let him know that both my choices were perfect. He looked strangely, before asking, do I detect an accent? I have to admit, it did make me laugh. An accent, what on earth do you mean? I asked, although it was clear what he meant. By my accent, he was of course referring to the fact that I wasn’t from the UK. That’s one thing I have noticed since moving to Spain, those from England feel that anyone without a similar accent, is the odd one out. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve nothing against people from the UK, or in fact anywhere, but I did feel the need to point something out. This is Europe, a
BEACH HIPPY: Sipping a glass of wine. place where many nationalities blend together and the only ones with the accent are the non-nationals, of whichever given country we visit. He stared blankly, as if offended, before proceeding to list the statistics of how many UK expats there are on the Costa, and how important they are to the local economy etc. My accent is somewhat neutral, having lived in London, Italy, Monaco and now Spain. In fact, I am sometimes asked where m from, as my accent can sound quite mixed up. When he learned that Im Irish, he went on to crack pretty stupid jokes about the Irish accent and asked me to say things such as 33, to see if I could pronounce it correctly. Naturally, I declined his odd request. It was after about 10 minutes of his now intrusion, that I explained I have trouble understanding most accents from the UK, and while he was finding his evaluation of the Irish accent hilarious, I suggested he look at some of the bizarre accents of his own people. He didn’t find that too funny. I finished lunch and walked back along the beach, stopping when a lady wished to say hello to my dog, Henry. Isn’t it a beautiful evening, she exclaimed, with a posh London accent. Innit though, I replied with a wink. Try to stay strong, and remember, we will lunch again. Once the restaurants reopen, we must dress up and go out. So many of these bars and restaurants, have supported so many worthy local causes, to keep spirits strong during these tough days. When, we are free again, let’s make a huge effort to support our local businesses.

KIDS FUN
DEAR Euro Weekly, Thank god (‘scuse the pun) you still graced us with some Easter news and ideas. I was so worried it was all going to be brushed under the carpet this year. We have two young children and normally make a big deal of getting up and having hot cross buns, painting eggs and then taking the kids out to roll them down the hill. The kid’s section you did was a good idea as we are running out of ideas for them so we dipped dyed the eggs and hid them around the house instead. I tried to make hot cross buns, but am no Mary Berry, they were a bit hard. I hope all the readers managed to have a lovely time too, even if it was just Skyping their families or watching Easter films. Happy (belated) Easter. Suzie Bellows Marbella
Caffeine dream Dear Euro Weekly, Thanks for keeping me going. I can’t wait to get back outside, I am genuinely missing random human contact. Before the lockdown I would be moaning about too many people in the street, the Spaniards congregating in the middle of small pavements for a family chat, nobody covering the tills on
OUR VIEW Keeping control MILLIONS of people around the world, sheltering in their homes from the coronavirus, have turned to communications platforms like Zoom, Facebook Messenger, Skype and Instagram in order to work or stay connected to friends and family. Some aren’t willingly surrendering their online identities during this pandemic, many are being compelled to do so by their schools, family or work. For those fortunate enough to have laptops and reliable broadband internet at home, it is not sufficient to simply update privacy policies or customer agreements. Technology companies see an opportunity in this crisis. Verily, a division of Google’s parent company requires a Google account to find and arrange Coronavirus testing and says it may share your personal health information with third parties. Parents seeking a remedy for their children’s boredom could be forgiven for not poring over lengthy privacy policies before connecting them with grandparents on video chat or entertaining them with a few hours of streaming YouTube videos. Many companies make it exceedingly difficult to opt-out of data collection, burying permissions deep on their websites or frequently changing privacy policies that dictate how and how often personal information can be harvested. Once you start using some services it can also be hard to stop, particularly if your files or photos are stored there. It may be tempting for corporations to see their increasing numbers as a sign of long-term prosperity, but consumers need the option to delete user profiles after the crisis. People have lost control over a lot as a result of the coronavirus. At least they should be able to control what happens to their personal data.

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK Spain Considers Closing Borders and Turning Away Tourism This Summer to Focus on Keep Summer Safe For Nationals Sue Mary Get the country back to a stable state of health and hopefully this pandemic will have gone by next year. Resources need to be used for the local population rather than an influx of holidaymakers.
Mike Baxter calls police macho ar*eh@les during lockdown on Spain’s Costa Del Sol and Costa Blanca and requests common sense Tammi Garcia Blackaby Easter bunny.
Mercadona when it’s busy, you know the regular moany old man stuff. Now I just can’t wait to see people in the street, children playing in the parks again, angry rushes along the high street to get home to my dog after work. It’s funny the things you take for granted that you miss. Hopefully, it will continue to make me feel differently. I don’t miss the beggars or being shoulder barged by ignorant people, but I do miss my favourite coffee! Yours in need of a good cuppa. Frank Dollimore Los Boliches
I think they are doing an amazing job... whether we like it or not they are there to protect us... and every single one of them is putting their selves and their families at risk every day...!!!
Spain’s lockdown could last until May 29 if it follows China’s strategy to combat Covid-19 Graham Wilson The lockdown is just in place to help hospitals cope with the amount of people who are infected by limiting contact. Just because the lockdown is lifted or changed does not mean the virus is less serious or has gone. Everyone will need to keep doing what they are doing by limiting contact until the vaccine is found or there could be a second wave. Anyone who thinks bars and restaurants will be open and we can all go out and start socialising or go to the beach are fooling themselves.
Unfair fine Dear Euro Weekly News, With regards to officers cracking down on Spain’s city dwellers travelling to the beaches of the Costa Blanca for Easter. On Sunday, April 5 I was fined €600 for walking on the beach with my dog. The Molinell (Oliva) beach is 400m from my house which lies in a touristic area where at this time over 95 per cent of the properties are empty. In the three weeks we’ve been under lockdown I might have seen five others on the beach also with their dogs and another five in the whole urbanisation. I don’t see what justifies the €600 as obviously I didn’t pose a threat to others and/or myself. In fact, the officer was the only person who had come within two metres from me at that time. Michael Woods Oliva, Denia
Your own fault Dear EWN, Are people idiots? I have seen a large number of people on Face book moaning about being stopped by the police whilst they are off out to buy some fags or some other nonessential outing. Stay in your house! If it is all over the news, in the papers, there are police patrolling the street you only have yourself to blame. Also, if you go out I hope you get fined however many times it takes to get the message into your head. If you are not bothered about your own health maybe you will care about others? Yours truly, James Thompson Denia

Main airline Ryanair announce when they will resume flights to Spain’s Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca Airports Duncan Morris How can any airline give a date to start flying as no one knows when the crisis will end. They are purely doing it so they have income from customers’ bookings.
Spain’s Government orders Costa Blanca’s coastal towns to remove ‘anti-tourism’ barriers Richard Morton NO! Lockdown means lockdown end of. What you fail to realise is that when restrictions are lifted there will still be many thousands of people infected. Therefore, the chances of a second spike are very real.
Sunbathing Covidiot gets so drunk that THREE paramedics need to treat him despite being in high demand amid Covid-19 Jace T Adams How unsafe must those paramedics have felt when he was projectile vomiting in front of them? And he didn’t even receive a fine or a caution? This is why so many people aren’t taking the lockdown seriously in the UK!
Europe’s borders may stay shut for six months more due to threat of Covid-19 from US and other countries Kathleen Sutcliffe Absolutely, otherwise can see this flaring up all over again, and all this time in lockdown will have been in vain. BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY. Keep the borders SHUT.
At the EWN, we pride ourselves that reports are accurate and fair. If we do slip up, we promise to set the record straight in a clear, no-nonsense manner. To ask for an inaccuracy to be corrected. Email: editorial@euroweeklynews.com

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
So far as your work or business life is concerned, those in authority may seek to see things done their way. Where they seem to pay lip service to your needs, that is all it is talk. Be clear that you want action and that you will not give in easily. Humour will not help.
With your self-confidence on a high note, you are ready to sing the song of your future. There will be highs and lows but that is what makes life interesting and exciting. Do not now avoid changes for the sake of peace. What is exciting and balanced this week is where your future lies.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Putting yourself first is necessary at the moment. There is so much happening this week that you may be tempted to run yourself ragged trying to do it all yourself. It is possible to persuade others to give a hand and, although it may seem too much trouble at the time, you will reap the benefits in the longer term.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) You should bear in mind that you are the best one to decide what you want, when you want it and how you will go about getting it. Others may offer you short cuts, but is that really going to deliver the goods? I think not.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) You know where you are going and who with, but there is this one unresolved thought in your mind. It is just a thought, isn't it? Or is it more? This is something only you can answer. Be prepared this week to take advice and ask questions.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) You are still looking more to the past than to the future, but now it seems that circumstances are urging you to move ahead at more of a pace. Because the matter becomes urgent, it may seem to you that circumstances are overtaking you. The choice is still yours if you show speed and determination.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) What you truly want in life is now becoming clear to you. Not for you the fuzzy ideas of the past. Now, you realise that, if you do not give a strong lead, then others will lead you. To avoid going backwards now you must be determined and clear. Show others that you are firmly taking the lead in your future.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Where you see things failing to go your way, it may seem that others are being unfair. It is unlikely to be that simple. Perhaps, by being too easygoing and friendly, you have given the impression of not being particularly caring. State your case and change the tune.
LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Judgment may be impaired this week and it would be advisable to get second and even third opinions. In much the same way that you sometimes have an instinctive feel for things and situations, you now have this sensation about a certain person. An unbiased and imaginative opinion scatters your stress.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This week be prepared to be forthright when it comes to a certain difficult situation. This involves someone trying to get you to make a decision you are either not sure of or against. Your good humour is unlikely to deflect them but being openly insistent may.

You are looking to having everything your own way, which may not be entirely out of the question. The only sticking point could be that you are not even willing to be sharp with someone who has been far from straight with you. Be prepared to trip over a loose end later if you do not tie it up now.

Are you being pushed into a corner? There is no need to respond with aggression, but a smooth and fast move is required to avoid this. They say that forewarned is forearmed. You know more of the circumstances than I do, but there is someone you can call on as an ally, isn't there?

They can be adjacent horizontally, vertically or diagonally. • Words must contain at least four letters and may include singular and plural or other derived forms. • No letter may be used more than once within a single word, unless it appears twice. • No vulgarities or proper nouns are permitted.
Kakuro
How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice). Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case M) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.
Fill all the empty squares using the numbers 1 to 9, so that the sum of each horizontal block equals the ‘clue’ on its left, and the sum of each vertical block equals the clue on its top. No number may be used in the same block more than once.

MICAH MORTIMER is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life. But one day his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late 30’s a girlfriend) tells him she’s facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah’s door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah’s meticulously organised life off-kilter, risk changing him forever. An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph.

GET DOWN WITH THE KIDS FRANKLY SPEAKING
BY JULIE FRANK
I’VE been thinking about the Millennials. They get so much criticism, don’t they? I can hear the likes of our Leapy Lee and his idol Richard Littlejohn grumbling “don’t know they’re born, do they ‘eh? They should be forced to do National Service, blah blah.” Donald Trump, who Lee and Richard probably admire was a draft dodger, let’s not mention that though! What made me think about the Millennials was something my American friend posted on his Facebook page “This is so not fair for high school seniors who had their prom and graduation ceremonies taken away from them. Being born after 9/11 and growing up with wanton violence, only to enter adulthood amidst a worldwide pandemic. They really got the bad end of the stick here.” I thought, you know what, he’s right. All I’d seen up until then was criticism of our youth. Comparing the Pandemic to the War or shortages in the 70s. The old ‘they
MILLENNIALS: They get so much criticism, but they are coping well. should just get on with it because we had it worse’ attitude. You cannot compare this Pandemic to the War. In the War, what kept people going was community spirit. There is no community now, we are all separated. I think back to when I was a young woman - I lived for the weekends and my friends. For as much as I loved my parents, the last thing I wanted to be doing was stuck indoors watching Saturday night TV with them! This is possibly the most mentally challenging thing our kids will ever have to go
through. I think it’s great how the Millennials are coping. Yes, they may have taken to Instagram to post selfies of themselves in daft face masks. I’ve heard about some bizarre challenge they’re doing about not showering too! But generally, they’re sticking to the social distancing rules. Inside. Making their own memories. It’s middle aged people who don’t seem to be able to stay indoors. I’m seeing photographs of them in the media, not the kids. I also saw a suggestion that we clap for our children one night. Not a bad idea at
all. This may not be an actual war for them, but it’s just as challenging. If we can’t clap, just appreciate the effort they are making, by staying away from everything that’s normal at their age. As the Queen said “Those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow feeling still characterise this country. The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future.”

We are keeping our clients connected A S a l e a d i n g Te l e c o m munications provider in Spain, Telitec has a duty to keep operating in order to facilitate communications during the coronavirus crisis. (Article 18 of Royal Decree 463/2020). Therefore we have implemented various steps to maintain our networks and to keep clients connected, whilst at the same time taking all steps to ensure the safety of our team and anyone that is necessary that we come into contact with. We had actually put procedures in place before the virus existed to allow a relatively easy transition for the majority of our staff to work
from home and to maintain customer service. This has been testing for the whole team at Telitec and in part working from home has required self-discipline which all the staff at Telitec have embraced. We are determined that our clients at least know that they will be able to stay in contact with their loved ones through our internet and all other for ms of communications we provide. Our customer service team have even taken upon themselves to contact frequently any client that they know is alone, which speaks volumes for the ethos and quality of the team. Everyone has played their part and I am very proud of
how they have all risen to this unprecedented challenge. This is not something any of us thought we would see in our lifetime, it has been devastating to Spain and the world. On a personal note I can feel and see a difference in the way people are viewing life. Adjusting to what is really important, caring for those less fortunate, creating a community spirit and applauding those, like the health workers who are putting their lives at risk each day to save lives. I only hope that when we come out the other end and life returns to normality that we maintain those beliefs. Please stay safe.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Jan from Telitec says everyone has played a part and is proud of how they have risen to the challenge.

Seven benefits of window tinting WHY would you want window film covering the windows of your home or office? Well, actually, there are numerous benefits to using this product. Window film will keep the heat out of your property and reduce glare from the sun. The experts at Cool Glass Tinting give us seven top reasons as to how it can improve your property. Decreases heat by 75 per cent Today’s solar-control window films are highly efficient in reducing the amount of heat which passes through your windows into your home or office. Clear, untreated glass blocks only 14 per cent of the sun’s energy, while solar-screen films reject 75 per cent, increasing the comfort of your property. When the sun shines, heat transmitted through glass can quickly become unbearable, especially in a conservatory or glass room. Therefore, our solar-control films are ideal for maintaining a comfortable temperature. And don’t forget, you will save money too. Protection from the UV by 99 per cent
UV PROTECTION: Window tinting protects your furniture from fading. Solar-control film blocks 99 per cent of UV rays. Don’t let the sun ruin your home! Window tinting protects your furniture from fading so you can enjoy it for longer. Reduce annoying glare by 85 per cent Allowing a good amount of sunlight into your home is nice, but direct glare from the sun through your windows can be really strong. It’s annoying and unpleasant, and depending on how your furniture is laid out, it may be impossible to escape. If you’re using a computer or watching the TV, the reflection of this glare on your screen can also cause headaches and distractions, but who wants to draw the
curtains in the middle of the day? Enjoy energy savings Solar-control film can significantly reduce air conditioning bills, and wear and tear of your units, thus saving you money on your electricity bills. Increase privacy Stop prying eyes from seeing into your property during the day. With the mirrorfinish film, you can see out, yet no one can see in. We also have frosted film for glass balconies and ensuites. Enhance appearance Enhance the exterior of any home or office and get the look you desire with an

When to disclose your mental illness with someone you are dating? MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED DATING isn’t easy at the best of times, without the several different challenges that come with dating with a mental health disorder. The big one, though, and I mean it’s the big question we ask ourselves before we even go on that first date, well I do! When do I tell him I have bipolar ?!?! I mean, when is the right time to drop the bombshell? Is there even a right time ? Is there a set timeline? Is it on the fourth date, is it when things are beginning to get serious ..? Do I just tell him casually over dinner? Do I make a big announcement ? I don’t think there is a manual or ‘the right way’ or ‘right time’ to tell someone, it has to be when you feel comfortable enough to disclose something so personal to you, the timing is up to you, it’s not about feeling ashamed, and it’s normal to worry what their reaction may be. The caution is understandable. We watch Movies and Series that show us dating someone with a mental health disorder to be ‘crazy,’ ‘psycho,’ ‘undatable,’ ‘unpredictable’… the list could go on!
With all that said I believe the right person, it should go without saying, will accept you for who you are and the diagnosis you come with. If a person criticises your condition or refuses to understand it, needless to say, you need to get rid! They are not the one for you! But you know what…! Better you tell them early on and find out their reaction than during a bad episode and then having to deal with that on top of things. But actually tell them... it’s important. Because eventually, if things do work out for you both, you will need to have a conversation about what you might need from them or what they might need expect from you. If they don’t want to date you because they can’t handle it, that’s fine, but it’s unfair on both of you if they are forced to make that decision while you are ill. But whatever you do… don’t do what I did and when he did try to talk to me about it, tell him to eff off and then wonder why he did, in fact, eff off!! The story of Ms Bipolar’s life… Let me know your thoughts or if you have anything you would like to add! Don’t forget to email me on the address below or follow me on facebook @Mswillowbipolar.

Plucking great
TRIM THOSE CATERPILLARS: Taking matters into your own hands. IF there’s one non-essential problem that’s come out of self-isolation, it’s managing your eyebrow hairs, and if you like yours preened and polished, you’ll need to take matters into your own hands. Here is a quick guide for eyebrow care at home. To begin, clearly define your boundaries with a concealer pencil to create a parameter of where you don’t want to touch the brows and to mark the point in the brow for the start, middle and finish.
To avoid hair breakage, gently stretch your skin, grabbing your brow hair by the root and plucking in the direction of hair growth. When you get to the arch of the brow, remove one hair at a time and view your brows before you continue to avoid overplucking. You may then trim longer brow hairs, brush up with a brow tamer and snip any hairs poking above the brow line. As for aftercare, brow gels are best for offering a subtle amount of colour as they only coat the brow hairs, while brow pencils are great for a more defined look.

BARRY DUKE IN the early 1980s I met a charming American holidaying in the same hotel that my late partner Brian and I chose for our vacation in Barcelona. We got on so well that Tim extended us an invitation to stay with him, should we ever cross the pond and visit San Francisco. Two years later I combined a business trip to the US with a week in California, and arranged to use Tim’s crib as a base. On our first evening in ‘Fog City’ he took Brian and I to ‘the best pizza restaurant in all of San Fran.’ What we each got after queuing 30 minutes for a table was a circle of dough the size of a satellite dish and about four inches thick. A tractor tyre would have been tastier and more digestible. I pushed mine to one side in disgust and Brian did the same. Tom, who’d scoffed his with relish, was not best pleased. ‘Something wrong?’ he asked some-
Mini pizzas: so wrong but so right
MINI PIZZAS: Delicious, with a very crusty base. what sourly. Brian snapped: ‘Everything. The dough is undercooked and a starving mutt would run a
mile from the topping!’ I shot Brian a disapproving look. He’d nailed it as far as the food
was concerned, but this was Tom’s treat and he should have been more diplomatic. The experience put me off pizzas for life, but on Day 15 of the Covid-19 lockdown I discovered to my utter dismay that the selection of frozen fish and meat at our local store had been supplanted with an assortment of pizzas. So I bought two, just to test for taste, What I hadn’t spotted was the word ‘mini’ on the boxes. So I ended up with 18 pizzarinas, 8cm in diameter. My first thought, of course, was to exchange them, but then I decided to pop three into my tabletop halogen cooker - the best kitchen appliance I’ve ever bought - to check whether they were remotely edible. Indeed they were. In fact, they were delicious, with a very crusty base. So, the next day, I legged it back to the store to lay in a supply of the grown-up version.
Another shock awaited me. They only had three pizzas left and those were topped with chocolate! Just looking at the Dr Oetker box made me feel queasy and set me wondering just who invented such an abomination. More to the point, why? I imagined the UK-based Gourmet Chocolate Pizza Co would have the answer, but no. All it says on its website is ‘the honest truth is that nobody really knows.’ It also mentioned, as an aside, that February 9 is ‘National Pizza Day.’ Wikipedia left me equally in the dark ‘The confluence of pizza and chocolate developed in parallel in several Western countries and has become a dessert purveyed in franchise and chain restaurants.’ Oh, Ok. A dessert. Terrific if you’re a puddings-for-dinner type. But I’m not, so I’ll leave them for Spanish shoppers, who, it would seem, can’t get enough chocolate or products that contain the stuff. A recent survey showed that Spaniards collectively spend around €180 million a year on chocolate, which is mostly eaten on Saturdays. Note to self: read the labels more carefully when out shopping!
