m Fro Ed... the I do hope everyone had an ‘eggciting’ Easter and that the Easter Bunny found its way into all your homes with some nice treats. He certainly bounced his way into my home and left some traditional choccie eggs! As we spring into the month of May, what could I possibly write about other than Teresa ‘May’ herself! It’s certainly proving to be a long time coming — the dreaded ‘BREXIT’ of course — and we are still none the wiser about where we stand or how we expats will be affected. And now, it appears we will have to wait until October 31 (how apt on Halloween -- surely ghoulish Teresa May costumes will be a ‘must have’!) before we ‘May’ have a decision … or ‘May-be’ it will be next ‘May’ — who knows! But enough about ‘BREXIT’ from me until later in the year. I am sure you have all heard of the Citizens’ Advice Bureau, but perhaps you may not know there is now a great Facebook page too, which has some fantastic information about living in Spain. You can learn about any changes or innovations which might affect you as an expat — valuable information indeed. The page is ‘Citizens Advice Bureau Spain’ and is well worth a visit at least once a week to keep up to date and perhaps avoid any nasty surprises! Just recently we changed the clocks to go forward an hour. Don’t you just love it when we do this? OK so we lost an hour’s kip that night but we get over that quickly and on the plus side, it means a lovely transition from winter to spring. That only means one thing to me — that summer is well and truly on the way — and it gives me a lovely feeling inside with all that the season heralds.

However, one sunny day in April I turned to the Citizens’ Advice FB page to have a flick through and to my horror, found an article entitled: ‘Daylight Saving Time Abolished Per 2021’ …. I thought WHAT? Does this mean that in 2021 there will be no more changing

Strange News
The Editor (of the original little mag)!
Tongue tied? A teacher has claimed his tongue was ‘eaten away’ after he habitually consumed energy drinks. Dan Royals said he drinks ‘at least’ six of these products a day and is now warning people about the dangers of the drinks – which can contain up to 13 teaspoons of sugar. Dan revealed that his doctor told him excessive sugar and various chemicals found in the energy drinks were likely to blame for his flesh being eaten away. He wrote on Facebook: ‘Who drinks energy drinks? Addicted to them? You may want to think again. So be wary guys.’ World Health Organisation researchers said: ‘A study in the US showed that dental cavities can result from the acidic pH and high sugar content of products such as energy drinks. Another study showed that consumption of energy drinks can cause erosion and smear layer removal in the teeth, leading to cervical dentin hypersensitivity.’ The researchers believe caffeine, taurine, sugar and herbal ingredients in energy drinks are bad for the endothelium – the lining of the blood vessels — too. Caffeine can cause the walls of blood vessels to contract, leading to a narrowing of them. It also releases extra stress hormones such as adrenaline which can temporarily increase blood pressure.

Chips are down Let’s face it, there’s nothing worse than feeling you’ve overpaid for food. But even if you’re left feeling unsatisfied with the amount you’ve received, you should never involve the police. One ravenous man, however, decided they were the perfect people to get involved after he complained his takeaway portion of chips was too small. After eating the chips, the hungry punter reckoned it wasn’t enough and returned to the takeaway to complain. But when staff told him they couldn’t help, he went outside and flagged down a police officer to sort the issue out. Needless to say, there was nothing they could do. York City Police posted about the strange request on social media and said: ‘Not sure what crime he thought had been committed but it was all a little fishy.’
the clocks? Well … yes; apparently this is the proposal on the table. Why? Is what I want to know! The only glimmer of hope is that although the European Parliament has already voted on the proposal from the European Commission, all members of the Council of the European Union have to agree — if they do, then it will have to be implemented by all EU member states. (Er, Brexit, anyone?!) I’m just hoping they DON’T agree… why on earth would anyone want permanent ‘winter’ hours? However, if it does come into effect, it would mean we put the clocks back for the final time on the last Sunday in October 2021. The world’s truly gone mad, I reckon. With so many other seriously worrying situations to contend with, why should valuable debating time — and no doubt money — be wasted on something like this is beyond me. Perhaps it’s just as well I’m not a politician — particularly in Europe! Meanwhile, enjoy the last years of long, bright evenings in Spain whilst you ‘May-be’ still can. And on that note, have a fab month.

Strange News (Continued) Emergency? I don’t think so... This isn’t the first time police in the UK have had to deal with some strange requests. In February, police in Northern Ireland received a call from a woman who claimed she had been ‘scammed’ buying cocaine – after the dealers gave her brown sugar instead. And a woman called 999 to say she had paid the wrong amount for squash in a branch of Morrisons. ‘It was one for £1.20, or two for £1.50, and he’s only given me one fruit and barley for £1.50,’ she told the call handler. ‘I’m trying to reach Morrisons and I can’t get through – they keep hanging up.’ The operator responded: ‘This is not a police matter and it’s certainly not a 999 emergency. This is a mistake on behalf of the shop. ‘Just go and speak to the customer services about it.’ Northumbria Police is now reminding people to only use the number in emergencies.
Bigfoot A 22-year-old Venezuelan man has been officially recognised as having the world's largest feet.

Interesting Facts... Mozambique was explored by Vasco da Gama in 1498 and first colonized by Portugal in 1505. By 1510, the Portuguese had control of all of the former Arab sultanates on the east African coast. Portuguese colonial rule was repressive. Guerrilla activity began in 1963, and became so effective by 1973 that Portugal was forced to dispatch 40,000 troops to fight the rebels. A cease-fire was signed in Sept. 1974, and after having been under Portuguese colonial rule for 470 years, Mozambique became independent on June 25, 1975. Mozambique is forecast to be one of the fastest growing countries in the next 10 years, helped by exports of coal and natural gas. Spelt out in Scrabble tiles, Mozambique would score more than any other one-word country. It scores 34 points. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan share second place on 30. Half the people in Mozambique are aged under 15.

El Restaurante de Mangoa - It’s All About the Quality! If you want to enjoy a unique and different experience, do not hesitate to come to El Restaurante de Mangoa, situated in the Mercado de San Francisco in Vélez-Málaga.
This is a new venture, so let’s look at its story. First of all, why did El Restaurante de Mangoa open up? This restaurant is the first in a new enterprise by Mangoa Catering & Deco, a company already experienced in catering, organisation and decoration for events. It made the decision to branch out in the market by opening a restaurant in order to carry on growing.
Why choose El Restaurante de Mangoa? Because here you will have a special gastronomic experience, enjoying avant-garde dishes and an explosion of flavour that will leave you fascinated. You will want to come back and try more dishes! How does it work? “We have a mixture of traditional and innovative dishes always adapted to the flavour of our region, Malaga,” said a spokesman. “Some examples of this might be tuna Tataki, Mexican tacos, figs stuffed with foie, beef risotto and more — all created by the great Michelin-starred chef Juan Quintanilla. “If you also love and appreciate wine, El Restaurante de Mangoa is the right place to visit. We have a great selection of Malaga wines of exquisite quality.” The company decided to locate in the Mercado de San Francisco because it is already a gastronomic and cultural space. It lies in the heart of the Axarquía, and is a focal gastronomic point of reference for the whole region and province. See main advert on page 11

Thoughts To Ponder Cats have nine lives. Which makes them ideal for experimentation. The right to bear arms is slightly less ludicrous than the right to arm bears. My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which meant that we spent most of our family holidays in Customs. My parents are from Glasgow which means they’re incredibly hard, but I was never smacked as a child... well maybe one or two grams get me to sleep at night. It is fair to say that there’d be less litter in Britain if blind people were given pointed sticks?

Man Points System In the world of romance, one single rule applies to the men: Make the woman happy; Do something she likes and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don’t get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry that’s the way the game is played. Here is a guide to the point system:
YOUR PHYSIQUE You develop a noticeable potbelly (-15) You develop a noticeable potbelly and exercise to get rid of it (+10) You develop a noticeable potbelly and resort to baggy jeans and baggy Hawaiian shirts (-30) You say, “It doesn’t matter, you have one too.” (-8000)
SIMPLE DUTIES You make the bed (+1) You make the bed, but forget the decorative pillow (0) You throw the bedspread over rumpled sheets (-1) You go out to buy her what she wants (+5) In the rain (+8) But return with beer (-5) You check out a suspicious noise at night (0) You check a suspicious noise and it is nothing (0) You check out a suspicious noise and it is something (+5) You pummel it with an iron rod (+10) It’s her pet (-10)
ENJOY THE ‘BIG’ QUESTION She asks, “Do I look fat?” (-5) (Yes, you LOSE points no matter WHAT) You hesitate in responding (-10) You reply, “Where?” (-35) Any other response (-20)
SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS You stay by her side for the entire party (0) You stay by her side for a while, then leave to chat with a buddy (-2) Named Tina (-4) Tina is a dancer (-6) Tina has silicon implants (-80) HER BIRTHDAY You take her out to dinner (0) You take her out to dinner and it’s not a sports bar (+1) Okay, it’s a sports bar (-2) And it’s all-you-can-eat night (-3) It’s a sports bar, it’s all-you-can-eat night, and your face is painted the colours of your favourite team (-10) A NIGHT OUT You take her to see a film (+2) You take her to see a film she likes (+4) You take her to see a film you hate (+6) You take her to see a film you like (-2) It’s called ‘ROBOCOP’ (-3) You lied and said it was a foreign film about orphans (-15)
COMMUNICATION When she wants to talk about a problem, you listen, displaying what looks like a concerned expression (0) You listen, for over 30 minutes (+50) You listen for more than 30 minutes without looking at the TV (+500) She realises this is because you have fallen asleep (-10000). In other words you can’t win! :)

Male Or Female? Unlike many other languages, English doesn’t split items into male or female. But what if we did...! SWISS ARMY KNIFE - male, because even though it appears useful for a wide variety of work, it spends most of its time just opening bottles. KIDNEYS - female, because they always go to the bathroom in pairs.
HOURGLASS - female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom. HAMMER - male, because it hasn’t evolved much over the last 5,000 years, but its handy to have around. REMOTE CONTROL - female... HA! You thought it would be male. But consider that it gives man pleasure, he’d be lost without it, and while he doesn’t always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
TYRE - male, because it goes bald and often is over inflated. HOT AIR BALLOON - male, because to get it to go anywhere you have to light a fire under it... and, of course, there’s the hot air part. SPONGES - female, because they are soft and squeezable and retain water. WEB PAGE - female, because it is always getting hit on. SHOE - male, because it is usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out. COPIER - female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. Because it is an effective reproductive device when the right buttons are pushed. Because it can wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pushed. SUBWAY - male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
HEATING - COOLING - SOLAR - HEAT PUMPS SALES - SERVICE - MAINTENANCE Constant climates using the latest inverter technology Covering all the Axarquia region

Random Jokes :) A guy sitting at a bar at Heathrow airport notices a really beautiful woman sitting next to him. He thought to himself, “Wow, she’s so gorgeous, she must be a flight attendant, but which airline does she work for?”. Hoping to pick her up, he leaned towards her and uttered the Delta slogan, “Love to fly and it shows?”. She gave him a blank, confused stare and he immediately thought to himself, “Damn, she doesn’t work for Delta”. A moment later, another slogan popped into his head. He leaned towards her again, “Something Special in the air?”. She gave him the same confused look. He mentally kicked himself and scratched Singapore Airlines off the list. Next he tried the Thai Airlines slogan: “Smooth as Silk”. This time the woman turned on him. “What the f*** do you want?”. The man smiled, then slumped back into his chair, and said “Ahhhhhhhh, Ryanair!”. -------------------------------------------------------------

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with three young mothers and their small children... “You all have obsessions,” he observed. To be the first mother, Mary, he said, “You are obsessed with eating. You’ve even named your daughter Candy.” He turned to the second Mum, Ann: “Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child’s name, Penny.” At this point, the third mother, Kathy, gets up, takes her little boy by the hand and whispers. “Come on, Dick, we’re leaving.” ------------------------------------------------------------Paddy and Murphy were walking home from work when Paddy came across a plastic bag. When they looked in they saw 3 hand-grenades. Paddy says, “I think we’d better take it to the police”. Murphy says, “But what if one of them goes off?” “Well,” says Paddy. “We’ll tell them we only found 2”.

Axarquia Solicitors Law Office Advice I WISH TO PURCHASE A PROPERTY ON THE COSTA DEL SOL BEING A FOREIGNER. FREQUENT QUESTIONS AND DOUBTS (Part 2) In our first chaper (printed in the March 2019 Edition of The Sentinella) we clarified the most common questions when a foreigner wishes to purchase a property in Spain. We know that purchasing a real estate property is not a difficult task, but it involves many other further legal and tax implications. We will try to clarify now the most common ones. 1. Is it recommendable to use a conveyance solicitor? It is the buyer’s decision to use a solicitor or not, but there are many reasons to hire the professional services of a Spanish solicitor specialised in real estate law. The solicitor knows better than anybody the local laws and taxes so it is highly recommended to contact one because he will make the purchase process smooth, trouble free and 100% secure. 2. What informaion do I have to get about the property before purchasing it? Before buying a property in Spain, there are some basic checks and searches to be carried out: who is the legal owner; possible charges or mortgages on it; that there aren’t any debts regarding local taxes and utilities bills; etc. The key point is to carry out searches in the local council and in the land registry to get updated information on the property and confirm that everything is correct and that it can be purchased without any problems. The solicitor is the right person to do these searches and confirm that the property is in good legal condition to be purchased. In case the property belongs to an urbanization, it is essential that the community of owners confirms the property is up to date with the community rates. Otherwise, the buyer can be compeled to take over previous debts. 3. Which documents do I need to purchase a property in Spain? Buying a property in Spain is simple. The only documents requested are an original and valid (that is, not expired) passport or identity card, to confirm the identity of the buyer; and a NIE number (Tax Identification number for Foreigner), which can be obtained in the
police offices in Spain. It is a quite easy procedure. Please, be also aware that in order to transfer the necessary funds to pay the purchase price, it is necessary to have a Spanish bank account. Most of the Law offices have a “clients account” for this purpose, so the buyer who uses a solicitor will only need a personal bank account after completing the purchase. 4. Once the purchase is completed, do I have to do any further paperworks? When the purchase has been completed in front of a Public Notary, it is necessary to pay the Transfer Taxes (8% of the purchase price) within 30 days, and to take the title deeds to the land registry so the ownership is registered. It is also necessary to change local taxes, water and electricity contracts, and community rates into the name of the buyer; as well as to order future payments by direct debit. A solicitor will be able to arrange all these matters in a speedy way and without problems. Another good reason for hiring one when buying your property in Spain. For any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will happily help you with any legal need you might have. See main advert opposite

A-Z Of Spain Following on from The Sentinella’s journey through the alphabet to discover the joys of Spain. This month the Js and Ks have joined forces. Well you try thinking of more than one J! Jamon - Ham. Now the ham situation here in Spain can be a tad confusing for us foreigners. In England we tend to think all ham tastes like that stuff you buy in the packs from Asda, perfect for sandwiches. But here there are all different kinds of ham; the most common tending to be Jamon Serrano (cured), which please note is not the perfect sarnie ham we are used to. Instead its chewy, slippery and tastes saltier. In fact if you do decide to stick it between bread it can be quite a battle to bite. Then there is Jamon de York, (cooked) which is the one similar to good old Asda ham. Kiosco - The Spanish love their Kiosks. They spring up all over the place. The most popular are ice-cream kiosks. They are filled with sweetie delights, crisps, nuts, drinks etc.. a heaven for children and adults too!

Rating: PG-13 Director: Justin Baldoni Genre: Drama, Romance Written By: Mikki Daughtry, Tobias Iaconis Cast: Haley Lu Richardson as Stella Grant, Cole Sprouse as Will Newman, Moises Arias as Poe, Kimberly Hebert Gregory as Nurse Barb, Parminder Nagra as Dr. Hamid, Claire Forlani as Meredith. Seventeen year old Stella is back in hospital somewhere in the US for the umpteenth time. She spends most of her life in hospital as a
cystic fibrosis patient. She is a lovely bright teen, who's determined not to be victimised by her condition – an incurable and brutal disease that makes her especially vulnerable to respiratory infection. Her life is full of routines, boundaries and self-control which are all put to the test when she meets the new boy Will, who is devastatingly cute and charming who has the same illness. There’s an instant flirtation, but his every move makes Stella crazy. He doesn't take his medication on time, he neglects his exercises, he sits on the hospital roof at night in the cold, as if he wants to jump. In short, he's a dreamboat and she is smitten. Restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction. It's the best tear-jerker in a long time; one box of tissues might not be enough. Star Rating: ****/*****

Dame Angela Lansbury was born in 1925 in Regent's Park, London, but has been based in America for most of her long career in theatre, film and TV.
older than she actually was. She played Elvis Presley's mother in Blue Hawaii (1961), despite being only 10 years older than him. She concentrated more and more on stage work, achieving notable success in a number of Broadway plays and musicals, winning four Tony Awards in 16 years. Angela has been married twice — to Richard Cromwell from 1945 until the couple divorced the following year, and then to Peter Shaw from 1949 until his death in 2003, giving her two children. Her daughter, the troubled Deidre Shaw, was a follower of Charles Manson's gang.
Her father was prominent merchant and politician Edgar Lansbury, and her mother was actress Moyna MacGill, who appeared with her in The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) and Kind Lady (1951).
Although active in television since the early 1950s, she obtained her greatest fame in the 1980s in the light mystery programme Murder, She Wrote. As Jessica Fletcher, she became known and loved by millions for well over a decade and is the only actress to have appeared in all 264 episodes.
Angela is of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh ancestry. Her mother was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
As of 2018, Angela holds the record for the most Emmy nominations without a single win — she has had 18 unsuccessful nominations.
She is the granddaughter of George Lansbury, British Labour Party Leader of the Opposition in parliament in the 1930s. Angela trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, whose alumni include Terence Stamp, Hugh Bonneville, Rupert Friend, Antony Sher, Matthew Goode, Sue Johnston, Minnie Driver and Julian Fellowes.
She was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1994 Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to drama.
She left for the States as WW2 began — she, her mother and twin younger brothers were in the last boatload of family members evacuated from London to America. In 1951, Angela became a United States citizen. She was contracted by MGM while still a teenager and nominated for an Academy Award for her first film, Gaslight (1944). Two pictures later, she was again nominated for Best Supporting Actress, this time for The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). Her distinctive features gave her an air of maturity that allowed her to pass as much
She was long-time friends with the late Bob Hope and gave a speech at his memorial service on August 27, 2003. She and Hope appeared on Bob Hope: The First 90 Years (1993), when she sang with him. Though she's not often hailed for her singing voice, Angela has won four Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical. She was awarded the DBE (Dame Commander of Order of the British Empire) in the 2014 Queen's New Year Honours List for services to drama and for charitable and philanthropic services. Angela is one of the few actors in Hollywood who have continued working well into their 90s. She once said in interview “Providing I can put one foot in front of the other, I will continue to act.”

Fitness trainer Kris, 30, grilled the star on her eating habits in a new episode of her reality series, My Crazy Life. As they went through her kitchen cupboards, Kris was astounded at what Katie had been eating, including crisps for breakfast and sugary marshmallow spread on toast. And he certainly didn't hold back when it came to telling her what he thought. When Katie explained that she eats marshmallow spread because it's "not fattening", Kris said: "You wonder why you've put on weight — are you on a wind up? It's pure sugar, Kate." Katie, 40, added that she thought bodybuilders ate it because it was low fat! Kris then put the boot in by telling Kate the reason she needs surgery is because of her unhealthy eating habits. Katie seemed to agree adding: "Well, let's change it then." Kris' comments come after Katie ended up having a corrective facelift last year. Her previous facelift went wrong and left her skin puckered. The former glamour model has been open about her past surgery. She has had extensive work done over the years — as well as two facelifts, she has had a nose job, nine boobs jobs and Botox and filler in her face. Murs wants more Singer Olly Murs has revealed he is in talks to return for a third season of The Voice UK. His contestant, Molly Hocking, won the latest series of the show, prompting Olly, 34, to honour his jocular pledge to pose naked in a chair to celebrate if one of his team won. However he plans to ask for a better reward should he be victorious again. Speaking to The Sun, he said: "There have already been negotiations in regard to my return to The Voice next year.

C el e Newbrity s
"Obviously since I won this year there will be heavy negotiations for a bonus next year, that’s for sure." Molly’s win was a first victory for Olly since he joined The Voice in 2017 alongside fellow coaches Tom Jones, Jennifer Hudson and Will.i.am. Former X Factor star Olly celebrated by posing naked in one of The Voice’s big red chairs, sharing a picture of the moment to Instagram with the caption: "The Winner takes it off." Strictly No Dancing Sports presenter Chris Kamara has said he was invited to do Strictly Come Dancing, but had to refuse because his body has "packed in." The Sky Sports pundit and Ninja Warrior UK co-host has revealed he is not fit enough to take part in the BBC show, as an injury he sustained before filming the obstacle course show has left him unable to play football. He told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "I've been invited to do Strictly and they told me who I would be dancing with because, apparently, you have to train with them for six weeks before. "But it's just not going to happen because my body is knackered." He continued: "I got injured just before we filmed Ninja Warrior, which stopped me playing football with my mates. "I'm crocked now — my back has gone and I feel like my body has packed in. I'm totally knackered now." Chris — who is nicknamed Kammy — was approached for Strictly after wowing with his routine with professional dancer Anya Garnis on the Sport Relief special, with his famous catchphrase "Unbelievable Jeff" being called out by the TV audience. Meanwhile, radio presenter Chris Evans recently cast doubt over his Strictly debut. The 37-year-old has a "serious issue" with his left knee and although he is having it looked over by a "super doctor", he may not be fit in time for the celebrity contest on which he is scheduled to appear later this year. Comedian Alan Carr and Welsh newsreader Huw Edwards have also been approached by the BBC for this year's series.

Drink Problem How to find out if you have a drink problem. If all these hit home for you, then I think you’ll need a drink! You lose arguments with objects. You have to hold on to the grass to keep yourself from falling off the earth. Your job is interfering with your drinking. Your doctor finds traces of blood in your alcohol stream. You sincerely believe alcohol to be the 5th food group. 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case coincidence? - I think not! You can focus better with one eye closed. The car park seems to have moved while you were in the bar. You fall off the floor..
Hey, five beers has just as many calories as a burger, forget dinner! Mosquitos catch a buzz after attacking you. At AA meetings you begin: “Hi my name is... uh...” Your idea of cutting back is less salt. The whole bar says ‘Hi’ when you come in... You don’t recognise your wife unless she is seen through the bottom of a glass. You’re as jober as a sudge. Your twin sons are named Barley and Hops! I’d say I’ll drink to that, but on a serious note: Summer is on its way, drink sensibly!!

Do I Really Have Sciatica? Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body. Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg. Although the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, most cases resolve with non-operative treatments in a few weeks, such as remedial massage therapy, manipulation and stretching. If your pain is only located in the lower back and buttock but no nerve sensation down the leg, you could be suffering piriformis syndrome. Although this can eventually irritate the sciatic nerve, it means that you have a good chance of preventing this. Your piriformis muscle is a small muscle located deep in the buttock (behind the
gluteus maximis). It runs diagonally from the pelvis to the hip, with the sciatiac nerve running vertically, directly beneath it. The causes of piriformis syndrome could be because of an irritation in the muscle itself or irritation of a nearby structure such as the sacroiliac joint. It is common to think that the pain in the hip is structural and alot of people think they need hip replacements when it is simply where the muscle is tight and pulling on its attachment to the joint. It is important to address the problem the minute you feel any discomfort, the longer you leave the muscle in spasm, the longer it takes to release it and can lead onto further problems like sciatica. Recommendations for treatment are continued stretching, remedial massage therapy and hot and cold treatment. By Amanda Edge, Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist. BscHon, RSA

Unspoilt Andalusia Beautiful places – Cortijo El Duende – a renovation project in paradise! I recently wrote about Cortijo Jacaranda, the beautiful mango farm for sale in Triana, a great place to live and a wonderful business opportunity through mango farming. In this busy, complicated world, many are looking to the sun and a better way of life with a way to also make a living here. Tourism and activity holidays is big business here and Cortijo El Duende is another perfect life and business opportunity and another truly special, beautiful place. Located in the peaceful little hamlet of Los Ventorros, on the edge of the Montes de Malaga and five minutes from picturesque Comares, this is a huge, rambling old house just crying out to be renovated to make into a home and a business. It has been used for many years by the current owner as a family
home, shop, and yoga/meditation centre. Here, she brought up her children, and became a part of the local community. Now El Duende is available for sale. It has a series of spacious rooms, with the possibility of using some of the larger rooms for yoga, treatments, meditation, or anything else such as cooking workshops or a language centre. Several accommodation units could be created and those staying could enjoy the lovely pool with amazing views over the countryside, and the delightful secret garden to the rear of the property. The hamlet has an excellent bar/restaurant and a unique social scene, with people from across the whole of Europe and beyond, mingling happily with the locals. This place is a true opportunity for a complete change of lifestyle and the road to an active, happy future for someone out there! By Toni Waterman, Unspoilt Andalusia (see advertisement below)

Starfruit (Averrhoa carambola) or carambola is a fruit native to the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, but widely available in shops all over the world. This fruit resembles a star when a cross-section is performed — hence its common name. The entire fruit is edible, including the skin. The flesh is crunchy, firm, and incredibly juicy, with a texture similar in consistency to that of grapes. Ripe starfruits are sweet without being overwhelming and have a tart, sour trace, and oxalic acid odour. They have several health benefits too — the fruit is a literal one-stop medicine shop. It’s used all over the world as a home remedy for hangovers and sunburns. It works well on coughs, fever, ulcers and sore throats. It also effectively combats diabetes. The leaves of star fruit can be used to treat stomach ulcers, pus-filled skin inflammations and boils. It improves digestion and flowers of the sweet star fruit are good for treating coughs in children. Star fruit contains an antimicrobial agent which fights the microbial bacillus cereus, e.coli, salmonella and typhus. It also cures eczema. The high fibre and water content, low calories and significant carbohydrate composition make starfruit ideal for helping people lose weight. They will fill you up and keep you healthy, which will reduce your urge to overeat. The fibre content also stimulates peristaltic motion and increased secretion of gastric juices, which eases digestion, prevents conditions like constipation and protects the body from more severe conditions like colo-rectal cancer. One cup of starfruit contains 4 grams of dietary fibre. The glycaemic index (GI) ranks food and
drinks based on their blood sugar increase potential. Foods high on the glycaemic index — like white rice and white bread — will break down quickly and cause blood sugar and insulin level spikes after meals, which is followed by rapidly dropping blood sugar levels. Starfruit is more slowly absorbed into the bloodstream, which could help prevent sugar crashes, sugar cravings and mood swings. Starfruit is loaded with potassium and a low content of sodium. One cup of starfruit contains a whopping 176 milligrams of potassium, compared to just 2.6 milligrams of sodium. This helps the blood vessels relax and maintains proper blood pressure. One cup of starfruit also contains 76 percent of the vitamin C daily requirements per cup. Vitamin C is a potent natural water-soluble antioxidant that helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and eliminates cancer-causing free radicals in the body. Starfruit is excellent for keeping your hair vibrant and healthy looking — an adequate vitamin C intake does not only improve the immune system but can also create and maintain collagen, an essential protein found in hair and skin. Also, starfruit contains vitamin A to keep the hair moisturised through increased sebum production.

New Dentist At DentaDanés in Maro DentaDanés in Maro is proud to present dentist Martin Lazenby.
experienced dentists wishing to improve their endodontic skills.
From 22 April 2019 DentaDanés will be able to offer its patients the services of this talented and personable dentist direct from Harley Street, London.
For the last several years he has been dividing his time between surgeries in Southend, Essex and London’s Harley Street.
Martin Lazenby is 37 years old and moved to the Costa del Sol with his wife and two children over a year ago to learn Spanish while flying back twice a month to do teeth in London and Essex. After passing all Spanish language requirements, Martin has his Spanish authorisation and is excited to begin working with the long-established international dental clinic DentaDanés, now in its 28th year. Martin is a perfect match for the clinic as he puts the patient first and believes in the importance of prevention rather that drilling. He believes information and communication is essential and to make the experience in the chair as stress free and pain free as possible. Martin graduated from the Royal London Dental Hospital in 2007. While studying for his degree he was awarded numerous prizes for academic excellence including the prestigious Principal’s Prize for graduating with the highest mark in his year. He was also nominated for the University medal given to the best dental student across London. After working in an NHS practice for a year, he spent the following year working as a Senior House Office in the department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow. During his hospital training he developed an interest in endodontics (root canal treatment) and completed an MSc in this field, passing with Distinction. Martin has since been training newly qualified dentists in endodontics and provides courses for more
Martin is looking forward to meeting all of the current patients of DentaDanés and is accepting any new patients that would like to have his help. He is available for all forms of general dentistry from tooth cleanings to fillings, as well as prosthetic work such as crowns and bridges and the making and repairing of plates.

Dear Penny Agony Aunt Penny gives readers, advice, help and guidance through the minefield called life.
Dear Penny
I came home from work earlier than usual recently and was devastated when I caught my wife (whom I have been wed to for 23 years) in bed with a barman. He couldn’t get out of the house quick enough and unfortunately, as I have a bad leg, I was not up to chasing him so as to give him a good beating. My wife has the barefaced cheek to continue living in the house with me, although at least she has moved into the spare room. Lately, I have developed serious bouts of anger and frustration and I can’t stop myself from sudden shouting fits, sometimes aimed at innocent passers-by. Am I turning into a madman? Please help as I am scared that I am going to be taken away by men in white coats. John, Nerja. Penny Says: You clearly and not unduly, have an awful lot swimming around in your head at the moment and you are finding it difficult to channel all that pain and anger in, a constructive way. Perhaps try sitting down with your wife and discussing her reasons for cheating on you, and whether you can - or indeed want to - try an salvage your relationship. Your wife has an awlful lot of explaining to do. As for the shouting bursts, rather than targeting passers-by I think you would be better off attributing one of the walls of your house the name ‘Shouting Wall’. Then every time you feel an anger burst coming, seek the wall!

) : a h a Jokes h A man asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an unusually attractive woman sitting alone at a table in a cozy little restaurant. So the waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, “This is from the gentleman who is seated over there”....and indicated the sender with a nod of his head. She stared at the wine coolly for a few seconds, not looking at the man, then decided to send a reply to him by a note. The waiter, who was lingering nearby for a response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman. The note read: 'For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank and '7' inches in your pants. After reading the note, the man decided to compose one of his own in return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter and instructed him to deliver it to the lady. It read: 'Just to let you know things aren't always what they appear to be. I have a Ferrari Maranello, a BMW Z8, a Mercedes CL600 and a Porsche Turbo in my several garages. I have beautiful homes in Aspen and Miami and a 10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana. There is also over twenty million dollars in my bank account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you would I cut off two inches. Just send the wine back.’ ------------------------------------------------------------David Beckham gets into a taxi at Dublin airport, he sees the driver looking at him for about 5 minutes through the rear view mirror. Eventually, the driver says “Go on then, give me a clue!” Beckham sighs and replies “Well I had a glittering career with Manchester United and Real Madrid, I am married to a Spice Girl and played over 100 times for England, is that
enough?” The driver says “No you thick idiot, where are you going?” ------------------------------------------------------------Started my new job with the Samaritans last week. Tried to ring in sick this morning but the sods talked me out of it!! ------------------------------------------------------------Zookeeper says to Paddy, “The gorilla is on heat and we need someone to have sex with it. Would you consider doing it for 500€?” Paddy replies, “I will on three conditions; 1st, I’m not going to kiss it, 2nd, my family must never know and 3rd, I’ll need a couple of weeks to get the money together.” ------------------------------------------------------------I went to see the Red Arrows last weekend. There was near miss after near miss, screams of "oooooohhh" and "aaaaaaahhhhh" But eventually my wife managed to park the car and we saw the show. ------------------------------------------------------------So I’m conscientiously trying to lose weight so I limited myself to just one slice of pizza last night, by not slicing it!!! ------------------------------------------------------------Paddy went to a bank for a loan and the cashier says to him, "Im sorry but the loan arranger’s off today sir.” Paddy replies, "Ok, I'll talk to Tonto if he's in." ------------------------------------------------------------I was walking past the fridge and thought I heard two onions singing a Bee Gee’s song, but when I opened the door it was just chives talking! ------------------------------------------------------------99% of Liverpool actually voted to stay in Europe. "It's great like," said one Scouser, "All these foreigners having our jobs!"

Jokes h a ha :) My girlfriend’s birthday is in two days. And she told me “Nothing would make me happier than a diamond ring”. So I bought her nothing! ------------------------------------------------------------An airplane was about to crash. There were 4 passengers on board, but only 3 parachutes. The 1st passenger said “I am Stephen Curry, the best NBA basketball player. The Warriors and my millions of fans need me, and I can’t afford to die.” So he took the 1st pack and left the plane. The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, “I am the US President and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don’t want me to die.” He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane. The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10-year-old schoolboy, “My son, I am old and don’t have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute.” The little boy said, “That’s okay, Your Holiness, there’s a parachute left for you. America’s smartest President took my schoolbag.” ------------------------------------------------------------Difference between a beautiful night and a horror night. Beautiful night is, when you hug your teddy bear and sleep. Horror night is, when your teddy bear hugs you BACK. ------------------------------------------------------------Once all the engineering professors were sitting on the plane, an announcement came over the intercom, “This plane has been made by your students.” All the professors except the principal, stood up, ran and got off!
One guy asked the principal, “Are you not afraid?” The principal replied, “I trust my students very well and I am sure the plane won’t start.” ------------------------------------------------------------A bloke on a plane stood up & shouted: “HIJACK!” All the passengers started screaming and tried to get off! Then from the back of the plane, a guy shouted back “HI JOHN”. ------------------------------------------------------------My girlfriend just broke up with me because she thinks that I am childish. So I calmed down, took a deep breath, went to her house, rang the doorbell and ran away. ------------------------------------------------------------Women really know how to hold a grudge. My wife asked me to pass her a lip balm and by mistake, I gave her a tube of Super Glue. It’s been a month now and she’s still not speaking to me! ------------------------------------------------------------Two teenagers, Fred and Joe, meet after school and Fred is all excited, “Man I was at the most awesome party this weekend! We went to this dude’s house and guy had toilets made of pure gold!” “No way!” “Yes way,” insists Fred, “Come with me and check it out for yourself if you don’t believe me.” Twenty minutes later they’re ringing the doorbell at the place. A middle-aged lady opens and Fred eagerly asks her, “Hi! I’m sorry to bother you but there was a party at your house yesterday and my friend doesn’t believe that you have toilet bowls of pure gold!” The lady looks at him for a moment and then yells into the house, “Roger, the pig that shat in your trombone is here!”
