Yes, it’s eventually arrived. It’s been a long time coming but summer is finally here! June is my favourite month of the whole year, but why so, you may ask…

Well, for me the main thing is, it’s the month when the SCHOOLS ARE OUT! I actually get more excited than the kids do because these words are heaven to my ears. It means no more early mornings, having to wake up at 7am to be driving not once but twice to the school half asleep — once at 7.45am and again at 8.45am; no more what seem like endless nights filled with homework, studying etc, so let’s just say I LOVE JUNE. Needless to say, I’m not keen on September when the schools start back again!

So what’s in store for this fabulous month for all you lovely readers? Well – June is the month of the very famous festival, San Juan.

This traditional event is celebrated on the evening of 23rd June and continues into the early hours of the following morning. It’s a major reason why so many tourists flock to Spain every year to experience the great night as basically, it’s a perfect reason to have a party. You can read more about this event on page 18.

Another major treat this month for all you football fans is the World Cup in Russia, which starts on 14th June. Maybe this is the year when England could finally win her first major tournament since 1966? We always enter into these competitions with high hopes but then they seem to end in disappointment. However we must never stop believing, so come on England — and Spain too of course!

The Feria season starts in June too, beginning with Frigiliana and Alfarnate on the 13th of the month. Almayate and Triana are on 26th June, so yet more perfect excuses for a party — or even several!

There have also been lots of new places opening in time for us to enjoy this summer.

Tooth shot out A father in Vietnam found a novel way to extract his son’s wonky front tooth.

In a video widely shared on social media, he tied a piece of string to the tooth, and then attached it to a crossbow bolt.

The little lad, who is wearing a red tee shirt sporting the Vietnamese flag, is told by his dad to tilt his head back. After a few agonising seconds, the crossbow is fired with the string pulling the tooth out so quickly that neither the boy nor his dad is sure whether it has worked or not.

But they then see the tooth dangling down from the crossbow and cheer together as the father brings the crossbow and tooth over to the camera for a closer inspection.

Earth safe for now NASA has revealed the truth about whether an apocalypse asteroid will wipe out humanity.

It’s just released the fourth set of data recorded by the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), which is orbiting Earth on a mission to find asteroids and comets.

The spacecraft has spotted a total of 788 near-Earth objects and 136 comets. Some 10 of these have been deemed ‘potentially hazardous’, which means they pose a risk to our planet. All in all, NEOWISE has found 29,375 objects in a four-year period.

A spokesman for NEOWISE said: ‘In total, NEOWISE has now characterized sizes and reflectivities of over 1,300 near-Earth objects since the spacecraft was launched, studying what they are made of and where they have come from.’

So will a space rock wipe us out in the coming years? ‘Probably not,’ said the spokesman.

Strange News (Continued From Page 4) ...24,000 chance of Asteroid Bennu hitting us at some point between 2175 and 2199, but apart from that we should be OK.’ Facebook fraud A Facebook psychic turned out not to be worth the £10 she charged for a ‘reading’.

Niamh Gargan, 19, handed over the money to find out what the future had in store for her.

But she was disappointed with psychic ‘Brodie McDougall,’ who came up with piercing insights such as she was ‘into beauty and hair’ and wanted to ‘settle down with someone’.

She was willing to give Brodie the benefit of the doubt, until she predicted she was soon to fall pregnant. ‘I can’t have children,’ Niamh replied, only to be told: ‘You adopted one.’

She has now shared screenshots of their conversations to warn other people that they may not get a legitimate psychic reading if they sign up via Facebook.

‘Brodie,’ who bases her ‘readings’ on a photograph, at first declined a refund and insisted her work ‘takes a lot of energy hunnie’. But after a further series of predictions fell well wide of the mark, she

gave in and returned Niamh’s cash.

Room service and make it snappy Alligators in Florida are now just casually strolling through hotels, apparently trying to book rooms.

A five-foot long reptile was filmed taking a leisurely walk at the Quality Inn, in Sebring, recently. The animal was apparently looking to stay the night but didn’t manage to get past staff who clocked it straightaway.

They immediately called the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, which apprehended the alligator with the help of a licensed trapper. The cops joked the reptile was looking for the ‘tiki bar’ at the hotel after posting a video of the alligator on their Facebook page. They wrote: ‘We aren’t sure if this little guy got locked out of his room at the Quality Inn in Sebring this afternoon or what. Maybe he was just looking for the tiki bar to get a margarita, but he didn’t look like he was old enough to drink and didn’t appear to have any ID in his alligator-skin wallet.’

A video showed the animal strolling past a row of hotel rooms before turning to head down another hallway.

a Spanish will.

See main advert below • Using a Spanish will for assets outside of Spain is very expensive.

• The probability is that your Spanish will only covers Spanish assets (which is what we recommend). This could leave you with a partial intestacy in respect of assets outside of Spain.

• An English will can be used to cover assets in various jurisdictions (Gibraltar, Isle of Man, The Channel Islands, etc) as well as the UK. • An English will can be changed quite easily and inexpensively as there is no need to sign it at a notary.

Another important note – Do not be tempted to make your own English will or use an off-the-shelf will kit. This is not appropriate

Anything For Cider Man drives 300 miles to evade new minimum alcohol price and buy beloved Asda cider Craig Mitchell, from Yoker, Glasgow, drove down to Carlisle in the North of England to get his hands on his favourite Hawksridge Cider.

"My mate Peter has said not to worry about room to keep it – I can plonk it in his garage."

Of course, the savings above don't factor in the amount Craig spent on fuel. It looks as though he's got a 4x4, so chances are he spent a good £70 on travel.

In Scotland, the beverage jumped from £2.15 for a two-litre bottle to £5.75 following the introduction of the controversial legislation.

Now, a 50p minimum price per unit is in place. The move has effectively banned cheap deals on booze in Scotland.

But Craig, 29, swerved the law by driving to Asda in Carlisle on Monday and purchasing 50 bottles of Hawksridge.

Craig spent about £100 and saved £180 in a purchase he described as a "get it up ye" to the new pricing in Scotland.

"It was more of a ‘get it up ye’ to be honest," he said.

"They can’t take our alcohol off us. I just got over the border and typed ‘Asda’ into my phone.

The controversial minimum alcohol pricing policy was introduced in Scotland at the start of this month after a unanimous vote at the Scottish Parliament.

Some of the stronger ciders have gone up by as much as £6-7 per bottle!

Summer Tips If You Have Pets Summer days mean fun in the sun and hot weather! This time of year can be dangerous to our four-legged friends. Pets can easily become victims of overheating, dehydration, sunburn and even parasites.

Here are a few tips to keep your pets healthy and happy during the summer months.

• Always have a supply of cool, fresh water available for your pet.

• Paws can quickly burn on hot asphalt.

Consider paw protectors such as shoes or booties.

Heat Stroke During extremely hot days, your pet would prefer shade to sunshine.

Excessive panting, raspy breath and discolored gums are signs of heatstroke. In the event of heatstroke: • get the animal to a shady place,

• Add a few ice cubes to a dish of water for a cool refreshing treat.

• cool it with wet towels and call a veterinarian immediately!

• When on the go, keep a water bottle filled with cold, fresh water for your pet.

• NEVER EVER leave your animal in a vehicle! Even with the windows open, in summer the temperature in a parked vehicle can climb to more than 100 degrees in a matter of minutes.

• Always wait at least 30 minutes after meals before taking a pet for its walk.

• Walk your dog in the grass and keep pavement walks brief!

• Coolant/antifreeze leaks are very sweet tasting and attractive to animals. Drinking these items can be fatal. Use animal friendly propylene glycol coolant rather than ethylene glycol in your vehicles.

Pork Scratching Anyone?!

Michelin-starred chef creates giant pork scratching – and it's surprisingly affordable A self-described 'restropub' has created a giant pork scratching.

The huge slab of crunchy pork skin is the work of Adam Bennett, who's head chef at The Cross in Kenilworth.

Adam decided to elevate the humble bar snack as it combines his two joys – fine dining and the traditional pub trade.

The Cross is Michelin-starred and serves upmarket food. But it's a pub too, and you'll find locals propping up the bar as well as couples sitting down to romantic meals of Dorset crab ravioli and squab pigeon with braised endive and puy lentils.

Adam said: “although we are a fine dining establishment, we are very much rooted in the pub ethic."

It's not just a one-off. The pork scratching has gone on the menu. It costs £8, and comes with various dips.

Three years ago Adam earned The Cross a Michelin star

Noche De San Juan - Saturday 23rd June San Juan is one of Spain’s greatest festivals. It’s a major reason why so many tourists flock to Spain every year to experience the great night as basically, it is a good reason as any to party.

San Juan Night, is a festival marked by ritual and celebrated throughout Spain commemorating the shortest night and longest day of the year. Celebrated with bonfires which represent purification of the spirit along with good food and drink.

Jump over a bonfire.

Burn a piece of paper with your lovers name on it.

Burn something old and personal to leave behind bad spirits from the past and start a new phase.

Drink from fountains or a natural water resource as these are said to become magical and have healing properties.

Whatever you choose to do have a fabulous evening

This traditional event is celebrated on the evening of 23rd June and continues into the early hours of the following morning. The custom dictates that everyone goes into the sea at midnight and splashes water onto their face. It’s said that by doing this, you will be cleansed and purified, and all your problems will be washed away.

There are many other traditions held on this night, depending on the area you live in Spain. If you want to be lucky for the next 12 months you may want to:

no more bottled water

“we all need drinking water, so why not drink healthy drinking water direct from your tap at home?”

Quotes About The Summer Everything feels alot better in the summer 1. “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”

F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby 2. “It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.”

Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy-Tacy and Tib 3. “In the long dusks of summer we walked the suburban streets through scents of maple and cut grass, waiting for something to happen.”

Steven Millhauser, Dangerous Laughter 4. “Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.”

Jenny Han, The Summer I Turned Pretty 5. “When people went on vacation, they shed

their home skins, thought they could be a new person.” Aimee Friedman, Sea Change 6. “August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.” Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath 7. “The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much colour.”

Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting 8. “Now the windows, blinded by the glare of the empty square, had fallen asleep. The balconies declared their emptiness to heaven; the open doorways smelt of coolness and wine.”

Bruno Schulz, The Street of Crocodiles

Interesting Facts... Set in the southern Mediterranean, the Maltese archipelago includes the islands of Malta, Gozo, Comino, Comminotto and Filfla.

Independence from Britain was achieved in 1964, after the Maltese people were awarded the George Cross for defending the island during the Second World War. The name of the island nation is supposedly derived from a Greek word meaning “honey.”

The island has an endemic species of bee, which produces a unique type of honey for which the island is very well known.

Malta is among the world’s smallest and most densely populated countries.

The capital city Valletta has a total area of 0.8 square km. It is so tiny that it is the smallest national capital in all of the European countries.

There are more Maltese people in Melbourne, Australia then there are in Malta!

Currencies Direct Currency News Political uncertainties help GBP/EUR stand firm.

Staying on top of the latest currency news can help you time your transfers more effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for over the next couple of weeks…

Latest currency news While the pound has been struggling against a number of the majors in recent weeks, the British currency has proven resilient against the euro.

GBP/EUR has climbed from 1.13 to 1.14 over the last two weeks. EUR/GBP has fallen from 0.88 to 0.87.

Meanwhile, the US dollar’s continued strength has seen GBP/USD fall from 1.35 to 1.34 and EUR/USD from 1.19 to 1.17.

What’s been happening?

For the pound, the last couple of weeks have been filled with mixed data, conflicting Brexit reports and dashed hopes for a near-term rate hike from the Bank of England (BoE).

Brexit speculation flared up last week thanks to reports that the UK government was planning to keep Britain in an EU customs union post-Brexit.

However, Prime Minister Theresa May was quick to play down the reports, limiting demand for the pound.

Sterling was able to hold gains against a weaker euro as Eurozone markets became anxious about the possibility of an anti-euro populist coalition taking power in Italy.

The euro also struggled in the face of US dollar strength.

Over the weekend, investors became even more bullish on the US dollar thanks to reports that the first round of US-China trade negotiations had ended optimistically.

What do you need to look out for?

Pound investors are awaiting major UK ecostats due later in the week before making

any big moves on the currency. Meanwhile, the euro is still under pressure thanks to Italian political uncertainties.

This has left the US dollar as the dominant force in the currency market.

These trends with the euro and US dollar are likely to continue for most of the coming week, as investors anticipate the possibility of Italian populist parties attempting to formally form a government.

Due to Brexit uncertainties in Britain and Italian political uncertainties, the pound and euro may both see limited strength even if upcoming data impresses.

Major UK inflation and retail data this week could boost Bank of England (BoE) interest rate hike bets and the pound, while euro trade may react to this week’s Eurozone PMI data and next week’s Eurozone inflation projections.

It would take a lot for the US dollar to reverse its recent rally. A slew of underwhelming US data could knock the currency and give the euro a bit of breathing room, so keep an eye out on this week’s Fed news and next week’s US growth and employment stats.

At Currencies Direct we’re here to talk currency whenever you need us, so get in touch if you want to know more about the latest news or how it could impact your currency transfers.

Since 1996 we’ve helped more than 210,000 customers with their currency transfers, just pop into your local Currencies Direct branch or give us a call to find out more.

My First Time The sky was dark, The moon was high All alone, Just her and I Her hair so soft, Her eyes so blue I knew just what, She wanted to do Her skin so soft, Her legs so fine I ran my fingers, Down her spine I didn't know how, But I tried my best To place my hand, On her breasts I remember my fear, My fast beating heart But slowly she spread, Her legs apart

And when she did it, I felt no shame All at once, The white stuff came At last it's finished, It's all over now My first time, Milking a cow!

Five Tips For Banishing Worry Most chronic worriers become mired in their own thoughts and emotions, waiting for bad things to happen. They become paralysed with fear and become non-productive and disillusioned.

Everyone worries at some point, but many successful people have come through worrisome adversities and are ahead of the game. Studies indicate that certain techniques can quash the worry and turn it into something positive and productive.

1. Maintain perspective. Non-worriers can detach themselves from a worrisome situation so they can increase perspective on the matter. They think about the situation and then evaluate the likelihood of what can happen.

2. Ask yourself questions. When worry or negative thoughts begin to fill your mind, ask yourself pertinent questions such as, “Do I have control over the problem?” “Is it an imminent threat?” The answers can help you face the situation or put it out of your mind.

3. Be confident you can handle the problem. Some people inherently have more

confidence than others about facing — and coping with — difficult situations. Worriers fear they can’t handle a catastrophe and will break down, so be positive.

4. Focus on the present moment. The ability to avoid getting carried away by the possibility of future happenings is key to spurning worry. Worriers tend to project themselves into a future where turmoil is the only outcome.

5. Take more chances. Worriers find decision-making difficult when their mind is occupied by the possibility of catastrophic outcomes. Non-worriers are more able to make instant decisions and then move on to something else. They can work through a stressful event or thought without becoming paralysed by negative thoughts. Delaying the worry helps you to find a solution to the problem and for it to have a better outcome.

Next time you start worrying, think about these points, the chances are that you will be able to apply at least some, if not all of them to your situation, instantly lessening your anxiety. By Maria McMahon

Selling My Stuff If I Die The older you are and the longer you have been married, the funnier this is...

One lazy Sunday morning the wife and I were quiet and thoughtful, sitting around the breakfast table when I said to her unexpectedly, “When I die, I want you to sell all my stuff, immediately.”

“Now why would you like me to do something like that?” She asked.

“I figure a woman as fine as yourself would eventually remarry and I don’t want some other asshole using my stuff.”

She looked at me intensely and said: “What makes you think I’d marry another asshole?”

Would you like to have more expressive eyes for a celebration or event?

Now you can with semi permanent eyelash extensions!

The effects can range from "natural" to "dramatic".

Individual Silk or Mink eyelashes are glued on to your own, which then fall off in the normal eyelash cycle.

Your own eyelashes will not be hurt or weakened.

I make home visits or you can come to Benajarafe.

For further information please call me on: 629 888 170, Iris Werner I look forward to meeting you!

Ac School Cruel and unusual punishment.

Sex Face it, the only reason that you're looking up sex right now is so that you can get horny from people's definitions.

Swine flu Something blown far out of proportion by the media and the World Health Organisation. It's just like the "normal" flu, excluding the fact that this swine flu does not currently have a vaccination.

SMH “Shaking my head” or “So much hate”.

Swag The new generation's alternative word for "cool".

Snakes A snake is someone who you think is sincere and really nice, but then turns out to be a backstabber.

Someone who acts like your best friend, but who actually is the opposite.

Sweet Something that is awesome.

Stoned A state of mind which occurs after smoking enough marijuana to the point where the user stares blankly into whatever catches his/her attention.

STD STD - stands for Sexualy Transmited Disease. The most commonly known is HIV/AIDS. To say the least you don't want an STD. Selfie The beginning of the end of intelligent civilization.

Ska Three different types: "Traditional", "2-Tone" and "3rd Wave". Traditional came about in the late 1950’s as new dance music straight out of Jamaica. 2-Tone is named such because whites and blacks came together to form Ska bands to spread unity in the 1970’s. 3rd Wave is when Ska hit America in the late 1980’s and added a bit of punk flair.

Also a very flexible style of music, incorporateable into other styles, which is why it's still around today and has such a large and diverse fan base.

Sup A term that cool people use because they are too damn lazy to say What's up. (Too much effort involved there man).

Spongebob Little square dude.

Snitch In the criminal sense a snitch will provide information to the police in order to obtain lenient treatment for themselves and provide information over an extended period of time in return for money or for police to overlook their own criminal activities. Quite often someone will become an informant following their arrest.

Sarcasm A tongue of which the user speaks of something the complete opposite of what the user means. It often has the best comedic value.

Shart A small, unintended defecation that occurs when one relaxes the anal sphincter to fart (blend of "sh**" and "fart")

Snap Expression - used to describe: 1. Dismay 2. Disbelief 3. Surprise 4. Joy.

Sausage-fest A group of friends or an event that consists of almost all guys.

STFU Acronym used for the phrase "shut the f*** up" for efficiency reasons.

Beach Lounge Café & Cocktail Bar Is Open From 11am Everyday!

Last month ‘The Beach Lounge Café & Cocktail Bar’ opened its doors in Torre del Mar. It is located on the Paseo Maritimo de Levante between ‘Stars’ and O’Donnells’, and what a success it has proved.

On Saturday 5th May more than 200 people came together to celebrate a fabulous evening. It really was wonderful, with people spilling out onto the streets to watch the in-house juggler. All the staff did an amazing job to keep the drinks flowing all evening.

There is something for everyone — whether you pass by for a tea or coffee, a healthy refreshing smoothie, ice cream or a delicious ice slush drink.

Axarquia Solicitors - Law Office TIME TO FORMALLY BECOME A TAX RESIDENT IN SPAIN. According to the Spanish Law all individuals who are living in Spain for more than 183 days a year are tax residents in Spain and have to pay taxes in Spain for their worldwide income.

Many foreigners living in Spain permanently, (for more than 183 days a year), do not pay any taxes in Spain, or submit annual income tax returns. Some do not submit annual tax returns out of ignorance of the law, and others because they are afraid of paying high taxes.

Everyone should be aware that ignorance of the law is no excuse. A tax return should be submitted annually, and taxes should be paid when applicable by all tax residents in Spain.

Up to date, the Spanish Inland Revenue has not been controlling the situation of those foreigners living permanently in Spain, despite the fact that authorities are aware of this important group of people. Now the situation has changed, due to the financial crisis, the Spanish Government intends to tighten up its control of all foreigners living in Spain to ensure that they pay taxes in Spain where due, and thus avoid thousands of people receiving free health services without paying taxes and without having the legal right to get them. The Spanish Government has decided to be stricter with the legal requirements that allow people to get Spanish health cards. Unlike in the past, now it will not be enough to just register with the local Town Hall (called “Empadronamiento�) in order to get treatment.

Therefore, NOW is the time to formally become a tax resident in Spain by submitting your annual income tax return for the tax year 2017, This should be done during the months of May and June 2018.

There are many good reasons for doing this.

It will enable foreign residents to: 1. Confirm to the Spanish tax authorities without doubt, that they, the tax resident, are living in Spain, and paying taxes when

applicable.

2. Avoid the 3% withholding tax when a real estate property is sold. This tax is applicable to foreigners who sell a property and cannot prove that they are a tax resident in Spain.

3. Benefit from the inheritance tax advantages and allowances applicable to tax residents in Spain (i.e. no inheritance taxes between spouses on the main home).

4. Be considered a tax resident in Spain, thus avoiding the income tax applicable to non-resident foreigners who are owners of a real estate property in Spain (tax form 210).

It is important to mention that most foreigners living in Spain are pensioners with low monthly pensions, so they should be aware that they probably will not have to pay any income tax in Spain as the result of their tax return would most likely be zero. However, it is still recommendable to submit an annual tax return, (even if the result is zero and no tax has to be paid), to enable them to be able to take advantage of the above points.

CONCLUSION: If you are foreigner living permanently in Spain (for more than 183 days a year) we would recommend that you submit an annual income tax return during the months of May and June for the tax year 2017. By doing this, you will confirm to the Spanish Tax Authorities that you are, without doubt, a tax resident in Spain, you will avoid any potential problems or fines, and will have all the legal rights that the Spanish Laws recognise, due to all individuals residing legally in Spain and duly paying their taxes here.

For further advice on this matter or to arrange a no obligation meeting to discuss your particular circumstances in detail, please contact us.

Mike Hood Bowling Have you ever thought about taking up a new sport or hobby? If so, maybe bowling could be right up your alley … pardon the pun!

The game of bowls has been traced back to the 13th century. It’s a game which, over the years, has proved to be a great social event for both young and old.

The aim of the game is simple: to roll your bowls as close as possible to a small white ball called the 'jack'.

It might sound easy, but the fact that the bowls do not travel in a straight line seriously adds to the tactical challenge.

Mike Hood is celebrating 10 years of bowling this summer at his home in Velez Malaga. He has recently modified his bowling facilities and now is able to offer Crown Green, Flat Green and Short Mat. If you are interested in joining Mike Hood and his bowling colleagues, please ring for more details and information.

Bowling days are Monday and Thursdays at 2pm, or by previous arrangement.

& t i Fru Factss Veg rape G

There are many more benefits of eating the humble grape than you might imagine Among many nutrients found in grapes, these vine-growing goodies contain compounds with antioxidant properties called flavonoids.

A 2016 study linked diets high in flavonoids with weight maintenance. Plus, one cup of grapes has about 100 calories, making them great for a high-volume, nutrient-dense snack of which you can eat more for a lower calorie cost.

Like other plant-based foods, the antioxidants in grapes may reduce cellular damage by protecting cell membranes. Eating about one to two cups of grapes per day can help shield your tissues by limiting the chemical reactions that trigger inflammation in your body.

When it comes to cardiovascular health, grapes are over-achievers. Some compounds in grapes can help regulate blood pressure, reduce inflammation from oxidative stress, improve blood flow and protect your vascular system.

Your brain may benefit from grapes too.

Grape polyphenols may boost cognition and protect your noggin by maintaining vascular health and function. They may also play a role in signalling neurotransmitters and reducing your risk of harmful oxidation — both linked to a lower risk of cognitive decline as a part of a plant-based diet.

According to some studies, specific phytonutrients found in colourful fruits and veggies such as grapes may shield skin cells from the effects of ultraviolet light radiation, and therefore help to protect your skin.

They can even lower your risk of diabetes.

Resveratrol, one of immune-boosting antioxidants found in grapes, is specifically linked to improving blood sugar regulation by affecting carbohydrate metabolism. That said,

grape-flavoured products can contain lots of added sugar, which has the reverse effect!

Make sure you're eating grapes in their least-processed form (fresh or freeze-dried grapes or wine!) to reap the benefits.

It is a little known fact that grapes are 82% water, so can help with hydration. Proper hydration is directly linked to skin appearance, cell regeneration and overall health. You get H2O from more than just beverages, though. High-water foods like — you guessed it — grapes can help your skin stay hydrated too.

The benefits of veggies and fruit make them no-brainers when it comes to choosing meals and snacks. High-antioxidant foods like grapes are linked to a lower risk of some cancers by protecting cellular DNA, reducing oxidative stress and limiting reactions that initiate tumour growth and development.

Drinking grapes has benefits too! As if you needed another reason to pop a bottle, the phenolic compounds in grapes are still present after they've undergone the fermentation process — in other words when they become vino. A whole host of research links regular wine consumption (in moderation, of course) to a reduced risk of chronic disease and improved health overall.

We'll drink to that!

w s ren o r i b N e Cel en & Helen M Th me Da

Dame Helen Mirren was born on July 26, 1945 in Hammersmith, London, the daughter of a Russian-born civil servant and his English working-class wife. Her surname was originally Mironoff, and her childhood nickname was “Popper.”

Despite her Russian birth name and ancestry, Dame Helen does not speak Russian, but she is fluent in French. Her great-great-greatgreat-grandfather was field-marshal Kamensky, one of the Russian heroes of the Napoleonic wars.

Before becoming famous, she used to work in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, at an amusement park as a "blagger" to attract customers onto rides.

She began acting while still at school in London, after which she took to the boards, appearing in many theatre roles which eventually took her to Broadway. Since then, her career in film and TV has also blossomed on both sides of the Atlantic.

Her early roles show her as a smouldering siren, and in 1975, she was famously dubbed the ‘sex queen of the Royal Shakespeare Company’ by the BBC's Michael Parkinson.

She also appeared as such in the erotic historical film Caligula (1979), which grossed $23 million and also starred Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, John Steiner and Sir John Gielgud. It was also the first of six appearances as different queens during her career.

After meeting on the set of Excalibur in 1981, Dame Helen lived with actor Liam Neeson for four years — the couple were reunited on the Graham Norton TV show recently after assuring producers there would be no “awkwardness” — but then met husband-to-be Taylor Hackford when he directed her in White Nights (1985). The couple married in the Scottish Highlands in 1997.

She allegedly refused the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in 1996, but was made a Dame of the British Empire in the 2003 Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to drama.

She is the only actress to play both Queen Elizabeth I (in Elizabeth I (2005)) and Queen Elizabeth II (The Queen (2006)). At the premiere of The Queen at the Venice Film Festival, her performance received a five-minute standing ovation, and the role subsequently gave her 29 major awards, including an Oscar.

She owns houses in Los Angeles, London and the south of France.

More recently, she created the iconic TV role of Detective Inspector Jane Tennison in the Prime Suspect series, which also received glowing reviews and has been shown around the world.

Dame Helen was listed as one of the 50 best-dressed over 50s by The Guardian in March 2013, when she was also announced as one of several new models for Marks & Spencer's 'Womanism' campaign. She appeared alongside British women from various fields, including pop singer Ellie Goulding, double Olympic gold medal winning boxer Nicola Adams and writer Monica Ali. She still features as the ‘face’ of cosmetic company L’Oreal, and has a waxwork figure in Madame Tussauds, which allegedly cost £150,000 to make.

To advertise call 664 210 468 or email sales@thesentinella.com Ali to marry Former Hollyoaks and Strictly star Ali Bastian has announced her engagement — to a former student who used to have her poster on the wall at university.

Ali is to marry actor David O'Mahoney, who popped the question on his birthday.

“I had Ali's poster on my wall at uni,” David admitted to OK magazine. “I wish I could go back to my 19-year-old self and say: 'It'll be great, don't worry!'

Ali, 36, added: "Even though we'd discussed marriage, it took me completely by surprise. I still think, has this really happened?"

The couple have been together for around 18 months.

Ali is best known for playing teacher Becca Dean in the Channel 4 soap, Hollyoaks, between 2001 and 2007. Her character was stabbed behind bars by another inmate and died in jail.

After leaving Hollyoaks, Ali went on to appear on the seventh series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2009.

She was partnered with professional dancer Brian Fortuna, and made it all the way to the finals, where they lost out to winners Chris Hollins and Ola Jordan.

Corrie split Two Coronation Street stars have confirmed they are to divorce, but say they will remain devoted parents to their daughter.

Lucy-Jo Hudson, who left Corrie some time ago and also starred in the popular series Wild at Heart with Stephen Tompkinson, has confirmed that she is divorcing husband Alan Halsall, who plays Corrie’s Tyrone Dobbs.

"I can confirm that Al and I are divorcing," she said in a statement. "We remain friends and devoted mummy and daddy to our daughter Sienna.

The couple have been together for nine years but are now said to be living apart.

"It's very amicable but they've decided to go their separate ways,"a source recently told The Sun. "They're devastated the marriage is over

but have vowed to stay friends.

They still really care for each other." Prior to Lucy-Jo's statement confirming their divorce, friends of Alan, 35, had been joking that he's having a "midlife crisis," according to The Sun. The couple previously split two years ago, but reunited after four months apart.

Slimming For Summer Although the equation is pretty simple when it comes to weight loss, sometimes we need a little reminder.

In order to lose we have to either cut down on calories or burn them or both. One pound of fat is approximately equivalent to 3,500 calories, therefore to lose a pound a week, we need to have a deficit of 500 calories a day, for example cut out 250 calories from your daily intake and exercise enough to burn 250.

Here is a table with some examples of what exercises burn what amount of calories:

85 percent of the calories you burn coming from fat. If you are not quite ready to participate in aerobic exercise, which requires a higher intensity of work and more cardio-respiratory fitness, you still can burn fat by walking briskly or with activities such as cycling, swimming or skating, all of which can be done gently and without breaking much of a sweat.

Exercising at a lower intensity burns fewer calories, but more of those calories come from fat.

A Fun Way To Spend A Sunday Los Romanes has come up with a nice way to help raise money for their summer fiesta this year which is fun, friendly and financially favourable: a new venture which will hopefully become a firm local social event every month.

On the second Sunday of each month, they hold a table-top sale in the square, near ‘The Shack’ a local bar. To book a space as a seller this costs 5€ per table and this goes towards financing the fantastic community celebration which is held over several days each summer. The table top sale runs from 10am till 2pm. The interesting weather this winter has called a halt to most of these events but I was a stall holder last week and the whole experience was so different I just have to share it with you.

I have attended car-boot and table-top sales for years both as stall holder and potential buyer. When selling our large house in the UK, I had a substantial amount of ‘stuff’ to off-load before going back to the charity shops and trying to get them to accept yet another car load of goodies! I knew what the procedure was - getting up before summer dawn having packed the car the night before and trawling off to another site for a gruelling day with few smiles and little pleasure. I have also attended a table-top sale here in Spain with the excess of our new villa to dispose of and although far more laid back than in the UK it was none the less hard work and something to ‘get through’. So I was not altogether thinking of the Los Romanes event to be a Sunday filled with pleasure. How wrong could I be!

We arrived after 9.30am to set up and there was no rush or strained panic. The site is one with a backdrop of the mountains and the beautiful lake. Everything was done with smiles and laughter and we were greeted by friends and locals as though this were a party.

It felt like a local catch up with old friends with a marvellous mix of Spanish and other Europeans browsing and sharing jokes.

The village has organised a licence for second hand items and also new stock so there was a mixture of things for sale. I was also selling my sisters award winning lemon curd which went down well especially after giving out tasters. The ‘shack’ was the centre of the event and we trotted back and forth

getting coffee, snacks and later wine and beer to enliven the ‘social’ feel of the day.

Many people just sat at ‘The Shack’ enjoying the ambience while talking to others sipping whatever they liked. I spent much of the time walking around talking to everyone and sharing news and laughter. For the first time ever as a vendor at a table-top sale I felt no pressure about policing the stall and guarding my precious cast-offs - it was a few hours spent which flew past, more a local party and social get together and one I will repeat.

We packed up feeling envigorated and happy, having enjoyed a relaxed social event with the added advantage of having cleared out some of the villas excess surplus to requirement, or in my husbands case, spending more than we made! Then off to an impromptu lunch with another happy stallholder!

People Who Come And Go Brexit and our health Believe it or not, at this precise moment in time, Brexit appears to be encouraging Brits to retire to Spain. Why? Because the only thing we know with certainty at this stage is that any UK citizen that has settled and is resident in an EU country on exit-day will continue to receive all the benefits of EU membership in their chosen country. Critically, this is the right to register with and benefit from the national health service of that particular country. Likewise, it looks like all UK citizens will be able to use our EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) while on holiday – at the moment of exit.

But what about AFTER Brexit? Leaving aside the whole mammoth uncertainty of health coverage whist on holiday, there is still no agreement on whether folks moving to countries such as Spain, from the UK, AFTER exit day, will still be able to register with the health service in their chosen country of residence, or indeed, whether they may take up residency easily in European countries.

As a result, there is a temporary rush of Brits heading South and taking up retirement in Spain, France and Portugal.

Recently, it appears that the UK is waking up to this still unresolved issue – it is not every day that such vital rights are simply lost on such a huge scale. The British have always been fairly adventurous, often choosing to move to warmer climes in later life. Is this shortly to become something of the past? Are we really no longer going to be able to move to our practically neighbouring countries?

My hope is that the negotiators will realise this huge unresolved problem sooner, rather than later, and offer us all a little hope.

Perhaps if the UK is permitted to continue to encourage young people from countries such as Spain to move and settle in the UK, then Spain will still be happy to take on British citizens moving here.

All About Summer The word “summer” is from the Proto-Indo-European root *sam-, meaning summer. The root *sam is a variant from the Proto-Indo-European root *sem-, which means “together/one.”

The “dog days of summer” refer to the weeks between July 3rd and August 11th and are named after the Dog Star (Sirius) in the Canis Major constellation. The ancient Greeks blamed Sirius for the hot temperatures, drought, discomfort, and sickness that occurred during the summer.

In the United States, over 650 million long-distance summer trips are made.

In the United States, the top 5 most popular summer vacations are 1) beach/ocean (45%), 2) a famous city (42%), 3) national parks (21%), 4) a lake (17%), and 5) a resort (14%).

The top 5 most popular summer vacation activities in the United States are 1) shopping (54%), 2) visiting historical sites (49%), 3) swimming/water sports (49%), 4) going to a park or national park (46%), and 5) sightseeing tours (46%).

In the summer heat, the iron in France’s Eiffel Tower expands, making the tower grow more than 6 inches.

The month of June was named after either Juniores, the lower branch of the roman Senate, or Juno, the wife of Jupiter.

Marc Antony named the month of July, in honor of Julius Caesar.

The month of August was named for Julius Caeser’s adopted nephew Gaius Julius Caesar Octavius, who held the title “Augustus.” He named the month after himself.

“September” is from the Latin word septem, meaning “seven.”

The word “solstice” is from the Latin solstitium, which is from sol (sun) and stitium (to stop) because it seems as if the sun stops at the solstice.

Continued on opposite page...

June is a month when traditionally us Brits think of strawberries but here in Andalucia the season is almost over. La Vaqueria kitchen has taken full advantage of the abundance of these delightful berries during the last 2 months; crates of them having made their way here from Huelva and towards the end of the season the smaller sweeter variety from Algarrobo.

Incredibly, whilst the storms were prevailing, the price could fluctuate by as much as 2€ per kilo from one day to another. Taking full advantage of the "cheap" days we have made pots of jam, so special cream teas are assured throughout the year!

Now it is a glut of nisparras which is keeping us busy; our friendly neighbours have been delivering baskets full and we are using all of our culinary expertise to use them up in new and exciting recipes... why not take a drive out to Benamargosa and drop in for a cuppa and a slice of fresh fruit sponge or stop for lunch in the garden... or enjoy your Sunday Dinner with live music and all this fresh produce evident in every dish. We think you'll agree when we say it was definitely worth the trip!!!

All About The Summer (Continued) In southern England, over 37,000 people gather at Stonehenge to see the summer s olstice. Druids and pagans are among those who celebrate the longest day of the year at this notable place.

In the Northern Hemisphere, summer solstice occurs sometime between June 20th and June 22nd, and between December 20th and December 23rd in the Southern Hemisphere.

Both “equinox” and “solstice” refer to the path of the sun throughout the year. During a solstice, the sun is either at its northernmost point (Tropic of Cancer) or it is at its southernmost point (Tropic of Capricorn). An equinox is either of the two days each year when the sun crosses the equator and both day and night are equally long.

Summer babies are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and are less likely to become CEOs. Because summer babies are typically the youngest children in each school

class, their relative immaturity can affect the quality of their education. Here in Spain a summer baby when they attend shcool, will be right in the middle of the age range.

Scientists argue that summer babies are significantly more likely to suffer from mood swings than babies born in other seasons.

Suicides actually increase during the summer months. Research suggests several reasons, including increased interaction with other people and seasonal hormonal changes.

Around the summer solstice, some Christians celebrate St. John’s Eve, which marks the birth of John the Baptist. John supposedly was born 6 months before Christ, which is traditionally considered to be around December 24th.

The word “season” is from the Old French season, which means “sowing/planting” or “seed time.”

Axarquia Sports Page TorreTorrox Golf Society played its monthly competition at Santa Clara Granada Golf Course in May. Santa Clara Granada is an 18-hole, par-72 course situated just outside the beautiful cultural city of Granada, within half an hour of the ski resort and still only 35 minutes from the coast.

Depending on the time of year, you could be ski-ing in the morning and playing golf in the afternoon, or playing golf in the morning and sunbathing on the beaches of the Costa Tropical in the afternoon. The course is a challenge for players of any standard as can be seen by the scores which came back!

The first nine holes, with the many water hazards and bunkers — not to mention the hill — are very different from the back nine.

These have long undulating fairways, a lake and a few well-placed trees to contend with but overall, it is a beautiful course to play and has wonderful mountain views from almost every hole. The course was in top condition and I would recommend a visit — the beers afterwards were well-priced and even came

with a free Granada tapa!

The winners on the day were Eddie from Kick Off Bar, who got closest to the pin, but as he had to shoot off early, we drank his prize. The longest drive was taken by Dave Brooks who managed — but only just, I was assured — to beat ‘The Elderly’. On the day, Dave finished in top, followed very closely by Russell Blessett, a new player — we will check his handicap — who was beaten on count back. In third place was Mark Lewis.

The “Thanks for Turning Up’’ award was very easily won by Bill, another new member, who is really looking forward to playing again next month — time for revenge and payback.

The next competition is on the first Saturday in June at Torrequebrada Golf Club, so if you want to play, look us up on Facebook and make contact to get your name down. FB: TorreTorrox Golf Society

Dine In Style: Searcys St Pancras Restaurant St Pancras International is an iconic venue. ‘Meet me at the Champagne Bar at St Pancras’, certainly says, “I have arrived!” This is where Eurostar trains arrive and depart. The shopping is quality retail therapy. Searcys St Pancras Restaurant is very impressive and their adjacent Champagne Bar, with heated leather seating and ‘press for champagne’ buttons, has 98m of serving space and is reputed to be Europe’s longest. Elegance and splendour is all around.

Beef Cheek and Loin of Lakeland Venison, along with Cornish Bream and Brixham Fish Pie, have regular ‘devotees’.

Regular train services from the Midlands and elsewhere, including south east England, arrive here. London underground and Thameslink services are fast and frequent, too. The upper level at St Pancras International has a 9m high statue titled ‘The Meeting Place’, depicting a couple embracing-celebrating romance and travel.

Also, a statue of Sir John Betjeman commemorates the poet’s successful campaign to save the station, from demolition, during the 1960’s.

Chocolate Cake accompanied by whisky ice cream. A most impressive wines/drinks list has something for all palates. Tasting events include champagnes and happen regularly.

The Searcys St Pancras Restaurant is very stylish, with pristine table settings and is located on the upper level at St Pancras International. Starters include Smoked Salmon, Scallops and Wild Venison Salami, amongst an array. Chicken Caesar and Gressingham Duck Salads are very popular.

Shellfish choices include various, different Oyster selections, plus Crab and Lobster, for example.

Mains of Lake District

Succulent, tender Steaks are further options and Sirloin, Rib-Eye, plus the House-Aged, Lake District Beef, are very much enjoyed, by many. The complementing flavours of the dishes are, truly, a genuine credit to the talented team of chefs and kitchen personnel.

Desserts include Norfolk Treacle Tart with Devonshire clotted cream, and Warm

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, plus pre-theatre dining, are all available here, and, if time is of the essence, ‘express’ is no problem. All dietary requirements can be catered for, also private dining, parties and occasions, accommodated. Gift vouchers are available – perhaps, if you are travelling to the UK surprise someone special?

Jokes h a ha :) I checked into a hotel on a business trip and was a bit lonely so I thought I'd get me one of those girls you see advertised in phone booths when you're calling for a taxi.

I grabbed a card on my way in. It was an ad for a girl calling herself Erogonique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, long graceful legs all the way up to her ass. You know the kind. So I'm in my room and figure, what the hell, I'll give her a call.

"Hello?" the woman says. God, she sounded sexy.

"Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you.

I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now. I'm talking kinky the whole night long.

You name it, we'll do it. Bring all your implements, toys, everything you've got in your bag of tricks.We'll go hot and heavy all night. Tie me up, wear a strap on, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipping cream, anything you want baby. Now, how does that sound?"

She says, "That sounds fantastic, but for an outside line you need to press 9." Hahaha! :)  ------------------------------------------------------------A guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde. He immediately turns to her and makes his move.

"You know," he says, "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. So let's talk."

The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," says the guy. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a

question first.

A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff-grass.

Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow turns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"

The guy is dumbfounded. Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."

"So tell me," says the blonde, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know s***?

------------------------------------------------------------A southern farmer got in his pickup and drove several miles to a neighbouring farm and knocked on the farmhouse door. A young boy, about 12, opened the door. "Is yer pa home?" he asked.

"No sir, he sure ain't," the boy replied. "He went to town."

"Well," said the farmer. "Is yer ma home?"

"No, she ain't here either. She went to town with pa."

"Well, then, how about yer brother, Joe, is he here?"

"No sir, he went with pa and ma."

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.

"Is there anything I kin do fer ya'?" inquired the young boy politely. "I know where all the tools are if you want to borry one or maybe I could take a message fer pa."

Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer pa. It's about your brother Joe getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant."

The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to pa about that," he finally conceded. "I know that pa charges $500 for the bull and $250 for the boar hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Joe."

Riddle Answers - 1. A triangle with sides measuring 300, 400, and 500. The other triangle cannot exist!. 2. Let c be the number of chickens, and r be the number of rabbits. r + c = 72 4r + 2c = 200. To solve the equations, we multiply the first by two, then subtract the second.

2r + 2c = 144... 2r = 56...r = 28... c = 44. So there are 44 chickens and 28 rabbits in the cage. 3. There were two little girls and a boy, their parents, and their father's parents, totalling seven people. 4. Two half-full barrels are dumped into one of the empty barrels.

Two more half-full barrels are dumped into another one of the empty barrels. This results in nine full barrels, three half-full barrels, and nine empty barrels. Each son gets three full barrels, one half-full barrel, and three empty barrels.
