No bad hair days
EVERY day can be a good hair day even when yours isn’t at its best.
Brush with a soft bristle brush before washing to break down product buildup, and choose sulphatefree products to avoid dry hair now that sunny days are back on the Costas.
If hair is greasy and there’s no time to shampoo, try refreshing it with a blast of cool air. When it’s beyond help, put long hair up in a topknot and choose a halfup, halfdown style for midlength. For short hair, go for a side parting or tuck it behind your ears. Whatever you do, the secret is to make it look intentional, hairstylists say.
SUNSCREEN should be applied daily, particularly now that the warmer weather has arrived and the sun is harsher.
Even on dull days, ultraviolet radiation can come through clouds and rain and although it has benefits that include creating Vitamin
D, it also poses health risks for the skin.
Sunscreen is vital, but not all go on easily with other creams so it helps to leave a good 15 minutes between using moisturiser and the SPF.

HELLO
I was just sitting down to message you and say congratulations to the team on an outstanding edition of Euro Weekly
The Women in Business section is top notch. These women are deserving of recognition, brilliant.
Apart from that the paper appears to have more interesting features than normal. I feel it’s like a Sunday paper but without the colour supplement.
Really first class. Thank you.

Dear Editor
IT is over 100 years since the First World War which lasted from 1914 till 1918 and this trench warfare is now being reenacted in Bakhmut.
To get an idea of this, just watch ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’.
Absolutely horrific for all men there fighting for their country.
Putin has a lot to answer for!

Delivery service
First of all I would like to thank you on behalf of the community of Caravaning & Camping La Manga for starting to recommence the delivery service of the Euro Weekly News to our site. It’s been long awaited and understand the reasons why due to the impact of the past few years that rocked the nation and the world. Hopefully we can all try and get carefully get back to some kind of normality, but not forget the virus still lingers on.
Anyway, having seen that we have received the first batch of papers. May I request an additional 50 copies be delivered knowing the amount of residents that reside here. The numbers will go up especially during the winter months from September to late March when the snow birds come down for the winter sun. The papers are so informative and would be gratefully received. Hopefully you can supply more now and a further increase later after the summer.
Yours gratefully
Mr S L Tryner (Resident)
Joe’s letter
Whilst I sympathise with him, he admitted living illegally in Spain for 13 years, only returning to the UK when the 90/180 day rule caught up with him. For 10 years of that 13 he would have been on a UK state pension, so if registered here, eligible for S1 free medical cover for him and his wife. He therefore did not ‘need’ two lots of expensive private health insurance for 10 of the 13 years. He also paid nonresident tax unnecessarily for 13 years.
He said he and his wife did not register in Spain because they wanted access to NHS in UK. That of course was not legal. On returning to the UK he was not able to get a hernia operation on the NHS, so went private. Had they been legal they could have continued living happily in Spain and had free medical treatment for his hernia, gall stones, enlarged prostate, wife’s Parkinson’s, etc.
Lastly; He adversely compared his failure to get an NHS hernia operation with Gary Glitter, who had a knee operation on NHS. However Glitter although convicted, was legally entitled to NHS cover in UK.
Sorry Joe but honesty often is the best policy !

Blue Badge
Like Valerie Neale, I know that getting a Blue Badge is not easy, and it is not issued by one’s GP.
Some years ago I investigated the procedure which involved an appointment with Social Services at the town hall where the procedure is started.
Next, you go to your GP so that they can certify that the applicant, my wife in this case, does indeed qualify for a Blue Badge.
When you have that, back you go to the town hall, and are told you might get your Badge within two years! Because I drive and my wife has a wheelchair, I gave up as we have not met any situation, so far, where a Blue Badge would have helped.
Regards.

Breaking point!
Zimbabwe’s economy has been devastated by corruption and more than two decades of sanctions. The latest Al Jazeira fourpart documentary has began to completely expose and reveal the illegal mafia type organisation that is ZANUPF. It is clear that the Zimbabwean president position is unattainable after the exposure of the gold scandal. Gold Smuggler, Ewan Macmillan tells us that another Gold smuggler Simon Rudland has unfettered access to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor, Mr John Mangudya. It was also revealed that the gospel minister, Ubert Angel, obtains the highest level rank of dimpomacy in Zimbabwe. Angel is heard saying in his own words, “The president will rule until he dies.”
Corruption in Zimbabwe is clearly at an all time high. The world cannot watch such atrocities happen and do nothing.

THE tourist season is about to burst into action so I think I should just put out a small reminder of some of the snags.
The threat of kidnapping is very real. Criminals flock to where tourists abound. We’re easy prey whether it be for a scam, rental or otherwise, for pick pocketers and people who specifically come to steal our children.
Unfortunately, there have been a few recent incidents which have prompted me to highlight this in particular. Please keep an eye on your children at all times and I

mean all times, there are people who are ready to snatch your child even if you just turn your back for a moment.
Having your car stolen is another thing to watch out for. Don’t leave your keys in the ignition at a petrol station at any moment, or leave your car running if you’re not in the car; even for an instant. Don’t leave your child or your handbag in the car whilst loading your shopping, they are not visible at all times. Don’t leave a child in the car even whilst just popping over to a cashpoint.
Another thing to look out for is the extra tourist traffic, particularly the Brits who may also like to drink and aren’t used to driving on the other side of the road. Visitors to our city are not as aware of their surroundings and will often make false turns and abrupt stops. Please keep this in mind.
Traffic is already overwhelming without the imminent influx of holidaymakers, so we need to make allowances for longer travel time, not faster speeds to compensate our lack of forethought.
Added to this chaos is the daily challenge of
