During the summer, I moved house yet again.

I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say I am hoping that this is my last “temporary” move — after upping sticks 10 times in 11 years, it is time to stop. More on that in the coming 12 months, I hope.

I have to say I sometimes wonder how Spain survives as a country. After 11 years of being here, I should be used to the weird ways of its bureaucracy by now, but I am still shocked by the way they manage some situations — or not, as the case may be. I am sure you are all with me on that, and have experienced your own problems with various companies cutting you off, not cancelling final bills, overcharging etc.. usually the likes of phone companies, electric, gas etc..

So in September I was inconvenienced by having my bank account part blocked. Weirdly, I could happily spend from it but I could not receive any payments into it. I do wonder how they expect me to carry on paying bills if they won’t allow any money to come in. So, why did they block it? Apparently it was flagged up that they are missing a piece of paperwork — one which I had to provide when opening the account “only a short while ago”. That “short while” was in fact 11 years ago. So basically, they have lost the paper and are punishing me as a result. Unbelievable! I now have to take a whole morning — or probably two or three — out of my working week to organise it all again and provide the necessary documents for the bank before they can unblock my account. I was just lucky that I had another account in my daughter’s name that I could use temporarily, because if not, I would have been well and truly stuffed. Happy days.

Strange News That’s Spain for you — Ricky Martin got it right when he sang about it being the “vida loca”; crazy it certainly is!

However, having said that, I took the opportunity whilst getting the paperwork to update my Residencia to a permanent one and believe it or not, I succeeded with no problems. I also found out that now, if you need to change your address for your car, you don’t have to make that tedious journey to Trafico in Malaga, you can change it with them too. Thank goodness, this can finally be done at the Town Hall. OK so it takes a month, but is much less hassle. Just ask for the form titled ‘Solicitud de Cambio de Domicilio de Trafico’ and bring the necessary documentation. Visit FB: Sentinella Axarquia Edition or Whats on Axarquia — The Sentinella Axarquia Edition and you will find the form and details of identification that you will need to provide.

October is certainly a month of fun if you like to dress up and partake in a bit of trick or treating. Halloween is celebrated in Spain more now than ever before. There are many Halloween parties in the Axarquia area all these are taking place on Wednesday 31st October. Kick Off Bar in Torre del Mar have prizes to be won, drinks and snacks. The Beach Lounge, also in Torre del Mar are holding a costume party. At La Vaqueria in Benamargosa preparations have long been underway for some outrageous fancy dress fun with live music (reggae) by The One Drop Trio. On Saturday 27th at 8.30pm Bar Atila in Puente don Manuel are offering a prize for the best dressed Ghoul & Ghoulette and they have a special Kiddies party on Wednesday 31st at 7pm with ghostly games and lots of treats!

With that spooktacular information, turn to page 50 and 51 for some Halloween puns that will make you laugh until you’re coffin :) Have a great month x

The Editor (of the original little mag)!

Day of the Jackal An animal shelter worker from Croatia was shocked when the ‘puppies’ she was looking after turned out to be babies of a different kind.

The woman, identified only as Marina, only realised the four-month old animals were in fact jackals after being alerted by her followers when she posted videos of them online.

The shelter, Faun Kutina, rescued a box of five ‘puppies’ which had been dumped in a field. They started to raise them, believing they were Belgian shepherds.

They became suspicious when people kept pointing out that they weren’t really acting like dogs, and seemed more like wild animals.

Two of the ‘puppies’ had died, but Marina took the remaining three to a local organisation i nvolved in the protection of wild animals, who confirmed that they were jackal pups.

By this time, they had already spent too much time in human company to be released back into the wild, and Marina has now become the first person in Croatia to secure permission to keep jackals as pets.

Tail Trick A dolphin which learned to walk on its tail while in captivity has taught nine of its friends the trick since being released into the wild.

Billie the dolphin, a bottlenose which was rescued from a severely polluted creek in January 1988, learned a trick known as the tailwalk by watching other dolphins she was housed with at a dolphinarium in Adelaide, Australia.

The trick, which involves ‘standing’ upright on the tail and running backwards along the waterline, is a common part of their routine but is rarely seen in the wild.

After she was released into the wild, Billie continued to perform her trick and by 2011, other dolphins began copying her, according to a new study published in Royal Society’s Biology Letters. Scientists say it marks the only known example of a mammal teaching human tricks to its peers in the wild without any help from a human trainer.

Opening Times: Lunch & Dinner Tuesday to Saturday.

Sunday Lunch only and closed Monday.

Strange News (Continued) It’s a Miracle!

A pensioner appears to have made a miraculous recovery during a recent trip to Tesco.

He was seen hobbling around with his walking stick before allegedly thieving items from the supermarket in Penarth, near Cardiff. He is then seen running out of the store without any need for his stick.

It was all caught on CCTV and now police want to speak to the man whose incredible health turnaround was witnessed by security staff. He was dressed in a green and white striped shirt and was wearing a bobble hat.

Sushi Scare A 71-year-old man had to have his hand amputated when his flesh started rotting because he ate sushi.

The man, from South Korea, became infected with a potentially deadly flesh-eating bacteria which caused painful black ulcers to grow across his skin 12 hours after indulging in the raw seafood.

The pensioner visited doctors in Jeonju, South Korea, after experiencing excruciating pain in his hand for two days. They diagnosed him with an infection called vibriosis caused by the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria.

The infection was so bad that he had to have his hand and forearm amputated 25 days later.

The man was already suffering from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and end stage kidney disease for which he was having dialysis.

Doctors said the patient ‘did well after the surgery’ and was later discharged home.

Spanish Lesson For The Clueless Men! :) No excuses now!

If you want to cajole (camelar o ligarte) a Spanish girl, here are some tricks (trucos).

First of all (lo primero de todo) you must be gallant (galante). Look for someone to introduce her to you if you are shy (tímido) or just try with something like: “My father says monuments don’t walk” (mi padre dice que los monumentos no andan). Afterwards it maybe that - 1) She smiles (Sonríe) - 2) she laughs at you (se ríe de ti). Let’s take the first one because you are so gorgeous (estupendo), kind (amable), marvellous (maravilloso), good looking (de buen ver), handsome (guapo) and you have an expensive car (coche caro). To sum up (en resumen), you are hot (estás bueno) and you are a good deal (y eres un buen partido, literally a good game).

Now it’s time to have a date (tener una cita).

Have a shower (ducharte), comb your hair (peinate) and wear clean clothes (viste ropa limpia). Be sure your underwear (ropa interior) is not torn (roto/a) and your socks (calcatines) are not too bright (llamativos, literally calling. Tie your shoes (ata tus zapatos) and don’t sweep the floor (no barras el suelo) with your trousers while walking (mientras caminas).

casa) in your car. Turn on (pon-from the verb poner) some romantic music (musica romántica) not something like Iron Maiden or AC/DC, which you tell her what beautiful eyes (qué ojos tan bonitos) or what soft skin she has (qué piel tan suave tienes). If things go well (si la cosa va bien) and you think she’s already crazy for you (loca por ti), it’s time to kiss her (es el momento de besarla). The kiss (beso) should be neither wet (humedo) nor sticky (pegajoso), be careful with your tongue (lengua), your hands (manos) and .... for God’s sake (por el amor de Dios) brush your teeth (lávate los dientes).

Before saying (antes de decirle) goodbye, don’t forget: here is my phone number (aquí tienes mi numero de teléfono). Call me tomorrow, please (llámame manana, por favor). If she phones you, you’ve got her (la tienes). If not, don’t give up (no te rindas from the verb rendir).

Good luck (!Buena suerte!)

Persianas / Shutters Repairs - Replacements

Even if you are looking forward to meeting her in private (deseando verla en privado), don’t meet her in your apartment or in a hotel.

Try to hide your intentions or you’ll ruin (echarás por alto, literally you’ll throw it all higher) what you’ve got and she’ll probably refuse (rechazar) your offer. Although the Spanish flower is a carnation (clavel) she’ll prefer a red rose (rosa roja).

Don’t believe it’s out of fashion (pasado de moda), it’s the best (lo/la mejor) you can do for success (tener éxito). A bunch (ramo) of red roses will make her feel forced (presionada) or uncomfortable (incómoda).

Who pays the bill? (¿quién paga la cuenta?).

You, who’s supposed to be rich (que se supone que eres rico).

Now insist on taking her home (llevarla a

De Cotta Law Family lawyers – a blessing or a curse?

We all know good news is heard less often and that bad news sells newspapers. My good news this month is that family lawyers can - and indeed do - help couples whose relationships break down. In particular, where there are children involved, and by reaching agreement lengthy contentious proceedings can be avoided.

Sadly, and all too often, people believe the involvement of lawyers in a family matter will increase tensions and lead to spiraling costs.

The contrary can be the case. By managing the expectations of a client in financial matters, a realistic settlement can be reached which prevents the need to litigate and go to court in a contentious proceeding. Equally, a person in a weaker position can have their fears allayed and be protected by their lawyer.

The same applies in child custody and visitation agreements. It is far better to find a sensible solution than to hand the decision to a judge in court. It is true that a judge will act in the best interests of the child but it is still preferable to reach a workable agreement with the other parent.

In most areas of Spain, the court will not order Joint custody without the agreement of both parents. The default regime is for the non-custodial parent to have every other weekend, four weeks in summer and alternate Christmas, Easter and birthday holidays. The lawyer who advises you can

draft this into an agreement which can be approved by the court, saving a lot of time and money. Although it is not inexpensive to take this agreement to the courts, it does give the security of having a fixed and established regime, bringing security to the children and the parents.

If you have no children and there is no dispute over assets, an agreement to divorce can be reached and a Deed signed before a notary. This reduces costs and provides a binding divorce order which can be registered with the Civil Registry in Spain.

Interesting Facts... Once dependent on sugar exports, the island has built up a strong outsourcing and financial services sector, and an important tourism industry and now boasts one of Africa's highest per capita incomes.

Arab sailors first visited Mauritius during the Middle Ages, naming the island Dina Arobi.

The Dutch established a small colony on the island in 1638, introducing sugar cane, domestic animals and deer, but abandoned Mauritius in 1710. France, which already controlled neighbouring Île Bourbon (now Réunion Island), took control of Mauritius in 1715 and renamed it Isle de France.

Mauritius was part of the long power struggle between the French and the British during the Napoleonic Wars. France formally surrendered in December 1810. Under British rule, the island’s name reverted to Mauritius.

Mauritius attained its independence from the United Kingdom March 12, 1968.

Cockney Rhyming Slang It is not known exactly who invented Cockney rhyming slang. It originated in London in the 1840s some say by market traders, costermongers (sellers of fruit and vegetables from handcarts) so vendors could communitcate without customers knowing what was being said.

Others think it originated in prisons so the inmates could talk without the guards listening in.

Much of the rhyming slang is related to grub.

Here is a selection of some of the best: Legs (Bacon and eggs) Example: “Look at that pair of bacon and eggs”.

Balti (Basil Fawlty) Example: “That was a nice hot Basil”.

Believe (Adam and Eve) “I don’t Adam and Eve it!”

Stairs (Apples and pears) Example: “Can you help me down the apples and pears?”

Money (Bread and honey) Example: “When’s pay day? I’ve run out of bread.”

Look (Butcher’s hook) Example: “Take a butcher’s at that!”

Mate (Friend) (China plate) Example: “See ya later china!”

Knackered (Really tired) (Cream crackered) Example: I’m cream crackered today!

Phone (Dog and bone) Example: “You’re always on the dog and bone!”

Starving (Hank Marvin) Example: “I’m hank marvin!”

Car (Jam jar) Example: “I need to get my jam jar fixed.”

Head (Loaf of bread) Example: “Come on, use your loaf!”

Wrong (Pete Tong) Example: “Everything’s gone Pete Tong!”

Lie (Pork pie or porkie pie) Example: “Stop telling porkies! I need the truth this time.”

Suit (Whistle and flute) Example “Are you wearing a new whistle?”

News From Currencies Direct Pound remains buoyant against the euro in spite of rough seas

war with China which the Eurozone will inevitably be drawn into.

Latest currency news In what seems to be a ‘Groundhog Day’ type scenario, the pound has been rising and falling in reaction to various Brexit-related comments and soundbites over the past couple of weeks. The more or less continuous back-and-forth between EU and UK policymakers and political commentators has seen Starling whipsawed higher and lower from one day to the next.

Further adding to the euro’s woes has been the release of plenty of sub-par economic date, with indications that the Eurozone is struggling with growth and inflation adding to the stack of reasons investors are hesitant to change their money into euros.

Over in the Eurozone, poor sentiment has had the effect of frustrating moves by the euro to capitalise on the pound’s vulnerability, as worries about the bloc’s exposure to the financial drama unfolding in the Turkish lira continues to unnerve investors.

Taken together, these factors have seen the GBP/EUR exchange rate trade between €1.12 and €1.09 over the last four weeks.

What’s been happening?

During the first half of September the pound has faced considerable headwinds and stormy seas from fears over there being a ‘no-deal’ Brexit. Sterling had already sunk to an eleven-month low at the end of August when the prime minister, Theresa May, said that leaving the EU without a deal ‘Would not be the end of the world.’

Since then, however, sentiment has been riding a wave, with the Pound suffering several knockbacks but always coming out higher. One of these boosts came from an unlikely source – the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier – who suggested that the EU would form an ‘unprecedented relationship’ with the UK and that a Brexit deal could be finalised by November. The Frenchman’s words certainly contributed to the pound’s rally in September.

Away from Brexit talk, UK economic data has been somewhat mixed, adding to the volatility seen in Sterling in recent weeks. With each new rise in sentiment, GBP exchange rates seem to then be undermined by the next release of weak data.

The euro too has faced some volatility since the start of September, partly due to worries about European banks being exposed to Turkey’s currency crisis, and partly due to ongoing fears that the US will spark a trade

What do you need to look out for?

It’s probably no surprise that Brexit developments will continue to influence pound movement over the coming days and weeks, with focus falling on whether leaders will be able to strike a deal at an emergency summit due to be held in November.

All indications are that the euro will continue to keep its head above water over the next month against the pound, with any fresh growth downgrades or weak data likely to be seen as proof that the economy of the currency bloc is hitting the rocks.

Beyond that, and new developments in the US induced trade spat with China, as well as fears that contagion from the so-called emerging markets could spread to European banks, will keep investors on their toes over the next few weeks.

Good News For IBI Payments In Some Town Halls The time of year is approaching when in most municipalities, homeowners are required to pay the IBI local tax. There are certain tax reliefs in certain Town Halls, which may favour the taxpayer to a lesser or greater extent. We will review the most important Town Councils in the province of Malaga, and thus know which bonuses are applicable in each case.

In the municipalities of Marbella and Torrox, there is no bonus at all.

In Fuengirola, there is an IBI bonus. To be able to enjoy it, you must be registered at the Town Hall (empadronamiento) as having lived in the town in the previous fiscal year. So to enjoy this bonus in 2018, you must have been registered in Fuengirola by 31st December 2017 at the latest. The landlord must not be in debt to the City Council. If these requirements are met, a reduction of 30% on the annual amount will be applied. If the taxpayer is also a pensioner, a further 15% discount is added.

In addition, if you are a large family, the discount will be 50% of the remaining annual total.

discount. It should be noted that this municipality has made a general reduction this year of 5% over the previous year.

With regard to the IBI of Vélez-Málaga, the regulations on this type of subsidy for 2018 have not yet been approved. We hope that in the coming weeks, the City Council will decide on these bonuses.

In Malaga City Council, pensioners, unemployed persons, persons under 30 years old, separated or divorced persons with minor dependent children, widows or widowers with minor dependent children, single parents with minor dependent children, persons with disabilities or with dependent disabled relatives, holders of significant invalidity or recognised dependency pensions, parents of minors under one year old and victims of gender-based violence are entitled to a 50% discount on their IBI bill.

These applications must be submitted before 1st March of each year. In addition, in order to receive this aid, you must be registered as living in Malaga (empadronamiento), have your IBI receipt direct debited, have no other property owned in the city of Malaga and finally have no debts to the Malaga City Council.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Cayet Abogados.

Your first consultation is free.

In Mijas Town Council, just by direct debiting the IBI receipt from the bank, you get a 5%

Sentinella Randoms My cousin just called and asked if I would loan her £300 to help her pay her rent. Those who know me, know that I'm always willing to help out friends and family. I told her to give me some time to think about it and I would call her back. Before I called her back, my aunt called and told me that my cousin was lying and not to give her the money. She goes on to say that the real reason my cousin wanted the £300 was to get her boyfriend out of jail so she could be under the same roof as

him for his birthday. I thought about it for a minute and decided to give her the £300 because we all need help at times. So I called my cousin and told her to come and get the money. A couple of hours later, I get a call from the prison. It was my cousin crying, screaming and asking why I gave her counterfeit money.

My response...so you and your boyfriend could be under the same roof for his birthday!

I was telling a woman of my ability to guess what day she was born just by feeling her breasts “Really, go on then try” she says After about 30 seconds of fondling, she began to lose patience and said “Come on...what day was I born?”

I said “Yesterday!”

I Don’t Take Drugs!!

“I don't take drugs” … the myths about CBD hemp cannabis The hemp plant originally came from Asia and has been around for centuries. It has been continuously developed over the years and is now possibly one of the most important plants in the world.

It grows to a height of three to four metres and not only have its long, strong fibres supplied ropes for shipping and the textile industry, but painting materials can be made from its seeds. Even the first Ford Model T car had bodywork made from hemp and was powered by hemp ‘petrol’.

From 1631 to 1800, taxes in America could be paid in hemp and until 1880, all paper was made from it too.

The plant contains sources for healthy nutrition. The seeds and oil contain a lot of proteins in a perfect form for human consumption, including one of the best Omega 3-6 ratios. In China, hemp was used against malaria and rheumatism. The people of Greece and Egypt knew of its pain and inflammation-relieving properties as far back as 450BC, and it has been used as a remedy for labour pains and muscular cramps since

the Middle Ages.

So how did this great plant come to be considered dangerous? In 1937, executives in the paper and chemical industries decided that hemp should be their prime enemy — they had stocks of forests, and oil and hemp was a competitor for them — so they created the word Marijuana. From then on, generations have been taught that this was a drug to avoid.

However now, we recognise the healing effects of the cannabis plant and many people use it if they have pain, inflammation, depression, breakdown and for all sorts of cramps including muscular pain and headache. It even has good results in the treatment of epilepsy and Parkinson’s. It can also be recommended for patients with diabetes, obesity, addiction, nausea, hepatitis, brain and liver damage and much more, including possibly even cancer....

And no — these patients aren’t taking a dangerous drug! It is possible nowadays to separate CBD from THC, the ingredient in marijuana which would make you ‘high’.

The History Of Nerja Nerja is found on the eastern most tip of the Costa del Sol. The continually thriving area has retained its Andalucian character, of narrow cobbled streets and whitewashed houses.

In the centre of the town you will find the Balcon de Europa, which is lined with palm trees. Tourists flock there armed with cameras to snap the breathtaking views across the Mediterranean Sea. Nerja boasts nine beaches, which amount to more than 15kms. The most popular and sandy of these is Burriana Beach, where there many English restaurants and bars. But there are also Spanish restaurants too. At Ayo’s paella is cooked in huge pans over log fires, catering for up to 100 people at a time.

In addition to the numerous shops there is to investigate in Neja. The Cueva de Nerja, located in Maro (just five minutes from Nerja town centre) is one of the most historic monuments of the world. It contains archaeological remains dating back to the Paleolithic Age and is one of the world’s biggest stalactites!

Nerja’s monuments include the 17th century Church of El Salvador in a charming baroque and Moorish style and the beautiful flourishing gardens of Capistrano Playa which lead down to Burriana Beach.

Many expats have chosen to set up home in Nerja and it is a popular tourist spot, so if full English breakies, fish n chips and Sunday lunches are what you’re after, then head to Nerja.

There is also a mini train known as the Wally Trolley, which zips around the town full of excited passengers, who can’t be botherered to walk it. Every Sunday in Calle Almte Ferrandiz the famously large car boot sale is

held and every Tuesday at the same location is the weekly market.

If you’re the dining out sort, head along Castilla Perez and you will find many restaurants, most of which dish up a mighty nice meal. In fact there are over 900 restaurants throughout Nerja. Shop till you drop by ambling through Castilla Perez, the busy high street.

Night birds should put on their dancing shoes and go to Plaza Tutti Frutti, the night club area, which heaves with loud music from around 10pm till the wee hours.

Spend a day exploring and find out why Nerja is frequently described ad the Costa del Sol’s best kept secret. Well it was a secret. But not anymore!

A-Z Of Spain Following on from The Sentinella’s journey through the alphabet to discover the joys of Spain. This month we take a look at what makes Spain ‘C’.

Churros - A churro is a Spanish and Mexican pastry resembling a doughnut and made from deep-fried unsweetend dough. These amazing long golden brown pastries are dunked in thick and gloopy chocolate or sprinkled with sugar and are enough to leave your stomach groaning.

Churros are an extremely cheap breakfast and were developed centuries ago by Spanish Shepherds. In the mountains freshly baked goods were impossible to find, so the hill fork invented churros, which they could easily cook in a pan over an open fire.

Originally they were about the size of a breadstick, and they were eaten plain or rolled in cinnamon sugar, but nowadays churros can be found throughout the world and they are stuffed with all kinds of tasty fillings.

Coffee - Spaniards certainly know their coffee and since living in Spain I am well and truely hooked but limit my craving to one a day.

Here is a list of some coffees you may like to try, instead of the usual cafe con leche: Cafe Bombon - Condensed milk and coffee Barraquito - Coffee, milk, condensed milk,

lemon and cinnamon Picardia - Condensed milk, coffee and whisky Cafe Irlandes - Coffee, brown sugar, whipped cream and whisky Cafe Jamaicano - Rum, coffee, cream, and cocoa Carajillo - Coffee and brandy Vienes - Coffee with cream and milk.

Competa - This beautiful village is nestled in the Sierra Almijara, some 650m above sea level, and it is surrounded by the Sierra Almijara national park, which thrives with olive oil groves, tropical fruits and almond blossoms. With its narrow winding streets, the white washed village has remained unchanged for centuries. However a growing number of businesses have opened there in recent years.

In the village centre there stands the 16th century church of Nuestra Senora de La Asuncion, and a bustling plaza bursting with bars and restaurants. But despite the thrust towards tourism, Spanish tradition is still apparent here, not least by the mules, which some of the older generation still use as a means of transport!

Pop along one day and find out for youself why Competa is better known as the ‘Pearl of the Axarquia’.

& t i Fru Facts c i Veg umer T

Turmeric, a spice derived from a root, may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence. Its most active compound, curcumin, has many scientifically-proven health benefits, including the potential to prevent heart disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer.

Unfortunately, as curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, it helps to consume black pepper with it, which contains piperine, a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2,000%. Curcumin is also fat-soluble, so it may be help to take it with a fatty meal.

The benefits are many, though. Turmeric has been used in India for thousands of years both as a spice and medicinal herb. It is a natural anti-inflammatory compound, and so helps your body fight foreign invaders; it also has a role in repairing damage.

Scientists now believe that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic Western disease. This includes heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's and various degenerative conditions.

Curcumin boosts levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in your brain such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Another benefit is that it has beneficial effects on several factors known to play a role in heart disease, because it improves the function of the endothelium — the lining of your blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction is a major driver of heart disease and involves an inability of your endothelium to regulate blood pressure, blood clotting and various other factors.

Studies have shown that curcumin can contribute to the death of cancerous cells and

reduce angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels in tumours) and metastasis (spread of cancer).

There is also evidence that it may prevent cancer from occurring in the first place, especially cancers of the digestive system such as colo-rectal cancer.

Arthritis is a common disorder characterised by joint inflammation. Many studies show that curcumin can help treat symptoms of arthritis and is in some cases more effective than anti-inflammatory drugs. In a study in people with rheumatoid arthritis, curcumin was particularly effective.

Curcumin can be as effective as Prozac in alleviating symptoms of depression.

In a controlled trial, 60 people with depression were randomised into three groups. One group took Prozac, another group one gram of curcumin and the third group both Prozac and curcumin.

After 6 weeks, curcumin had led to improvements that were similar to Prozac. The group that took both Prozac and curcumin fared best.

There is also some evidence that curcumin can boost the brain neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine — known for their ‘feel-good’ properties.

Due to its many positive health effects, such as the potential to prevent heart disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer, curcumin may aid longevity, and for this reason, it has become very popular as an anti-ageing supplement.

Sentinella Random :) An old Doberman starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost.

Wandering about, he notices a lion heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old Doberman thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep trouble now!"

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.

Just as the lion is about to leap, the old Doberman exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious lion! I wonder, if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young lion halts his attack in mid-stride, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.

"Phew!," says the lion, "That was close! That old Doberman nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the lion. So, off he goes.

The squirrel soon catches up with the lion, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the lion.

The young lion is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that coniving canine!"

Now, the old Doberman sees the lion coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?," but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old Doberman says "Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another lion!"

Moral of this story...

Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! B*** S*** and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Ten Reasons Why We Love Spain 1. The Weather This is without doubt the main reason why most of us love Spain so much. Sunshine makes us feel happier, more positive and a darn slight healthier.

2. The People It is just me or do more Spanish people seem a lot friendlier than many other nationalities?

It is the done thing over here to say “hola” to people you don’t even know. If you said hello to someone in London who you didn’t know you’d probably be marched off by men in white coats to the nearest asylum.

3. Tapas This is such a diverse and exciting thing to get stuck into. The mini dishes of all different kinds of food mean that you don’t become bored with ploughing through the same tedious dish. Some popular tapas are: chorizo (spicy sausage), jamon, cheese, carne and tomate (meat in tomato sauce) and

albondigas (meatballs).

4. The Beaches There are some fascinating beaches along the Costa del Sol and all across Spain. My favourite beach is El Morche as the sand is more like proper sand as opposed to tiny pebbles and dirtly dust like sand. The sea is nice and shallow for a long way out and warmish.

5. The Generosity of Barmen It is very easy to get drunk very quickly in Spain as the measures are double or in some cases triple what would normally be received in the UK. 6. Paella This is another great dish. Rice cooked to perfection with various kinds of vegetables, meat and prawns thrown in.

Ten Reasons Why We Love Spain (Continued) 7. The Prices Most things in Spain tend to be a great deal cheaper than what we are used to paying in the UK. A good three-course meal here for example, will only set you back as little as 8€ or 9€. Well if you opt for the menu del dia anyway and there’s nought wrong with that!

Fiestas provide a vibrant atmosphere, with lots of food, lots of wine and not much sleep.

Here are some pictures of a recent Fiesta ‘Dia de la Pasa’ in El Borge which is held on the third Sunday of September.

8. The Lifestyle Get up, drink coffee in a cafe bar look around some shops, go for lunch, go for a quick nap, get up, sit on the beach and read a book, have an icecream, look around more shops and buy things you probably don’t need, go for dinner, stroll around, go home, go to bed.

Then there are those of us who need to work!

9. The Nightlife Instead of closing at 4am, some of the nightclubs here don’t open until 4am and they stay open until around 8 in the morning.

10. Fiestas & Festivals The Spanish sure know how to party! Their

Director: Dana Nachman, Don Hardy Jr. Genres: Documentary Pick of the Litter follows a litter of five adorable puppies from the moment they're born with all their furry, high pitched innocence and begin their quest to become Guide Dogs for the Blind, the ultimate canine career. Bred in California cameras follow these adorable pups, (Patriot, Phil, Potomac, Poppet and Primros) through a two-year

odyssey as they train to become dogs whose ultimate responsibility is to protect their blind partners. Along the way, the dogs meet a community of dedicated individuals who train them to do amazing, life-changing things in the service of their human. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Only the best of the best. The pick of the litter. Statistics show that only 300 of the 800 trainees annually actually manage to go all the way in the program. “Pick of the Litter� affirms the obvious: the world is a much better place with dogs in it.

s Now an b e l Ce en & e Brosn Th Pierc Heart-throb actor, director and producer Pierce Brosnan has a career spanning almost 40 years.

Possibly best known for playing James Bond, Pierce claims the very first film he ever saw was Sean Connery’s depiction in Goldfinger (1964).

Pierce was born on May 16, 1953, in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland, where he lived before moving to England in 1964. He now spends most of his time in Malibu, California, and holds both American and Irish citizenship. He was given an honorary OBE in 2003.

He is also famous for starring in the TV series Remington Steele (1982), and portrayed James Bond in GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002). He was the original choice to play Bond in The Living Daylights (1987) but the producers of Remington Steele refused to release him from his contract and so the part went to Timothy Dalton.

In 1996, he was chosen by People (USA) magazine as one of the "50 Most Beautiful" people in the world and voted the “Sexiest Man Alive” in 2001. The Orange 2001 film survey of greatest-ever British film actors had him in sixth place.

Pierce also starred in films such as Dante’s Peak (1997) and The Thomas Crown Affair (1997). The former role posed an unusual challenge — he is chronically claustrophobic, which made the filming of some scenes particularly difficult.

In addition to his salary from the Bond films, Pierce received the BMW Z3 from GoldenEye, an 8-series BMW from Tomorrow Never Dies and the Z8 from The World Is Not Enough.

His personal life has been marred by tragedy.

In 1991, his wife, Cassandra Harris, died from ovarian cancer the day after the couple’s 11th wedding anniversary, leaving him with three children — Christopher and Charlotte from Cassandra's first marriage and Sean from their marriage. Since her death, he has had two children with his second wife, Keely Shaye Brosnan. Sadly, the same cancer claimed Charlotte’s life in 2013.

Pierce was once a professional "fire eater", having performed a fire-eating act in a circus at a young age. Knowing this, the writers of Remington Steele asked him to hone his skills for an episode during the series' second season. He also performed the act in Muppets Tonight: Pierce Brosnan (1996).

In 1993, he played the small role of Stu in Mrs. Doubtfire. During the restaurant scene, when her teeth fell into a wine glass, the cast didn't know Robin Williams would do that and so their reactions on film were genuine, mirroring the shock of the crew. In 2014, following Williams’ death, Pierce revealed: “I had the time of my life working on that film.

Every day was sheer magic with Robin. His humanity, his grace and his brilliance of heart and mind and soul, his reverence and sincerity leave a huge gap.”

His most recent roles include Sam Carmichael in the hugely-popular Mamma Mia (2008), alongside one of his closest friends, Meryl Streep — a role he reprised in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again (2018). He is currently appearing as Eli McCullough, a Texas cattle baron who takes an interest in the oil industry, in the US television series The Son. He is a vocal supporter of same-sex marriage, gay adoption, gun control and protecting the environment.

While in the UK, he enjoys fishing on the River Towy in Carmarthenshire, South Wales — also a favourite spot for former US president Jimmy Carter — and remains a fan of Fulham football club.

Viagogo said its lawsuit, filed in Germany, claims Stuart Galbraith and his firm, UK-based Kilimanjaro Live Ltd, defrauded fans out of several million pounds during the British singer's 2017 tour.

It alleges the promoter set up fake Viagogo booths at venues "luring fans into declaring that they were Viagogo customers. The promoter then confiscated their authentic tickets and forced fans to buy new ones".

Kilimanjaro rejected the claim, telling The Associated Press in an email it will "defend against this action vigorously and looks forward to doing so in court".

"The claims made today by Viagogo are ludicrous, laughable and most importantly totally false," Kilimanjaro also said in a tweet.

Spacey still suspected Prosecutors in Los Angeles have said they will not file charges against Kevin Spacey over an alleged sexual assault in 1992 because too much time has passed.

A man alleged the former House Of Cards actor assaulted him in West Hollywood in October 1992.

However, prosecutors said the case could not be taken forward because the year of the alleged crime falls outside of California's statute of limitations.

Prosecutors are still reviewing a second case involving the 59-year-old that includes allegations he attacked a man in Malibu in October 2016.

Spacey is also being investigated in the UK for six sexual assault claims over 22 years.

He has faced a number of repercussions since allegations against him emerged, most recently when his film Billionaire Boys Club took just ÂŁ98 on its opening day in the UK. He was also sacked from Netflix's House Of Cards and edited out of Sir Ridley Scott's All The Money In The World.

Mel B under scrutiny A judge has ordered former Spice Girl Mel B to undergo random drug and alcohol testing.

It is part of a custody arrangement for her seven-year-old daughter, Madison, whom she shares with ex-husband Stephen Belafonte.

It comes after the singer, whose real name is

93

C el e Newbrity s

Melanie Brown, was accused by a former childminder of putting her children at risk through her drinking.

Russell Updegraff, who looked after both Madison and Brown's other daughter, 11-year-old Angel, made his allegation in court papers.

Judge Mark Juhas, sitting at Los Angeles Superior Court, said Mel B, 43, would undergo the random testing for four months.

In addition, neither Brown nor Belafonte can take drugs or drink alcohol eight hours before taking custody of Madison, or while they are with her.

Stop Smoking Today Through Hypnotherapy A poem of inspiration for anyone who has decided that they would like to give up smoking. Read this and you may try harder to ditch the habit!

Smoking Next time you pick up a cigarette, Just think one day you’ll regret, Having smoked it at all, You’ll think, ‘Oh why was I such a fool.’

‘Why did I have to have a drag, Of that disgusting smelly fag, Why did I fill my lungs with smoke, Making me cough, splutter and choke, Why did I make myself smell in that way, Like an overflowing ashtray, Why did I make my teeth which were white, Go that yellow colour which looks a fright, Why did I waste all my money, Smoking it away. ‘I’m such a dummy!’

Try chewing gum. You could buy plenty, Instead of indulging in a box of twenty, Give up now or never start, Or at an early age from this world you may depart, You’ll find yourself lying on a hospital bed, And may well end up lying there dead, You’ll have the dreaded lung disease, And you’ll be thinking, ‘god, put back time please.’

* The average life expectancy of a long-term smoker is 8-12 years less than a non-smoker * A single cigarette contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer. * 8.6 million people in the U.S. live with a serious illness caused by smoking. * Smoking makes the risk of a heart attack 200% to 400% greater than that of nonsmokers. * Within 48 hours of quitting smoking, your nerve endings begin to regrow and your senses of smell and taste begin to return to normal.

About 69% of smokers want to quit completely. Are you one of this 69%? If so contact Matthew Robinson who can help you quit TODAY! See main advert and contact details below.

Smoking Facts: *120,000 people die each year due to smoking * Half of all smokers die from smoking related diseases

Sciatica: Part One

What did sushi A say to sushi B? Wasa-b!

------------------------------------------------------------Doctor: "I'm sorry but you suffer from a terminal illness and have only 10 to live."

Patient: "What do you mean, 10? 10 what?

Months? Weeks?!"

Doctor: "Nine."

------------------------------------------------------------“Anton, do you think I’m a bad mother?”

Patrick: "What school?"

I wrote an article with regards to piriformis syndrome and sciatica 2 years ago but this summer I have had a record number of clients suffering from sciatica and so I have decided to address this syndrome again and suggest exercises to alleviate the problem.

Sciatica is a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Common lower back problems that can cause sciatica symptoms include a lumbar herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis.

Sciatica Nerve Pain Sciatica is often characterised by one or more of the following symptoms: • Constant pain in only one side of the buttock or leg (rarely in both legs) • Pain that is worse when sitting • Leg pain that is often described as burning, tingling, or searing (versus a dull ache) (Continues opposite)

Please mention The Sentinella when responding to adverts

97

Sciatica: Part One (Continued) • Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg, foot, and/or toes • A sharp pain that may make it difficult to stand up or walk • Pain that radiates down the leg and possibly into the foot and toes (it rarely occurs only in the foot) Sciatic pain can vary from infrequent and irritating to constant and incapacitating.

Symptoms are usually based on the location of the pinched nerve.

Exercises to alleviate sciatica: Knee to opposite shoulder

This simple stretch helps relieve sciatica pain by loosening your gluteal and piriformis muscles, which can become inflamed and press against the sciatic nerve.

1. Lie on your back with your legs extended and your feet flexed upward.

2. Bend your right leg and clasp your hands around the knee.

3. Gently pull your right leg across your body toward your left shoulder. Hold it there for 30 seconds. Remember to pull your knee only as far as it will comfortably go. You should feel a relieving stretch in your muscle, not pain.

4. Push your knee so your leg returns to its starting position.

5. Repeat for a total of 3 reps, and then switch legs.

People Who Come And Go Tracey and Alan – a magical project! – part 2 In December 2017 I wrote about Tracey and Alan, currently living on the other side of the world, who had just bought a tiny tumble-down house in the picturesque village of Canillas de Aceituno to renovate and make into the perfect holiday hideaway for couples looking for an ‘escape’, to get away from the rat race for a few days, relax, have time for themselves, experience the beauty of a typical Andalusian mountain village, and sit at night on their private terrace with a glass of champagne, enjoying the amazing views from their own private hot tub – wonderful and magical!!

Since then, they have now finished the renovation, barring painting, furnishing and putting in a kitchen – all organised on a lightening trip they have just completed, and all for just slightly over their original budget of 30,000 Euros. It was the first time Tracey had seen the house, and the village and she was very happy with her husband’s choice. So happy, that they have now reserved a further

two little houses in the village, to continue with their dream of having several romantic hideaways for couples.

I shall be following their progress and story on the Unspoilt Andalusia Facebook page, so anyone interested in seeing how they do, can check them out on our page.

The two new houses are very similar to what they found before and no doubt the transformation will be equally dramatic! They are using local builders, and a lovely local lady (she’s English, but is well established here!) to look after the rental of the houses, and so the local folk are very happy, and Tracey and Alan are still bubbling with enthusiasm.

As I said last time, wishing Tracey and Alan the very best of luck on their new projects: punters – please form an orderly queue to book one of their cottages!

Record Breakers Some great record breakers from years gone by George Blair - Oldest water-skier (aka Banana George). George was born on January 22nd 1915 and he is the world’s oldest barefoot water-skier at the ripe old age of 90. What a top banana!

David Kremer - Most bowling balls stacked vertically without the need of adhesives.

David stacked 10 balls in a pile before they toppled over on the 19th November 1998.

Peter Dowdeswell Fastest three-course meal. Pete, of Northampton scoffed a pint of oxtail soup, mashed potatoes, tinned baked beans, sausage, and prunes in 45 seconds.

(Conjures up a lovely sight!)

Kunihiko Terada - This Jap chap arranged a deck of cards in the fastest time (ace through to ten, jack, queen, etc) in his hands in 40.36 seconds at the Hard Rock Cafe in Tokyo on January 25th, 2004.

Axarquia Sports Page TorreTorrox Golf Society played its monthly competition at El Chaparral Golf Club in September. After more than 12 years being closed and two years since its reopening, El Chaparral Golf Club has become one of the most recognisable courses on the Costa del Sol. A unique panorama of the surrounding scenery can be observed from every hole.

The magnificent sea views, rich vegetation, and the perfume of the pine trees have turned El Chaparral into a paradise for everyone to enjoy — not just golfers. Spectacular would be the word that best defines the feeling when you play here.

El Chaparral is a course capable of staging any event up to the highest level, whether amateur or professional. The course consists of 18 holes situated in one of the most privileged settings on the Costa del Sol. Close to the sea – only 700 metres from the beach – and surrounded by a forest of pine trees, El Chaparral offers what every golfer is looking for – tranquillity.

Although the course is not excessively long

(5,800 metres), you will find a large variety of holes that are enjoyed by players of all levels.

It is a course that requires skill and accuracy, with greens that you will find in fantastic condition all year round.

The winner on the day, with an impressive 36 points, was Mr KickOff himself — aka Eddie Dawson — followed closely by Mr Platinum, Rob Townsend, with Tony Walker in third.

In the shortest drive competition, first, second and third were Jack Schitt, Barry McDikkin and Issac Cox... well done, gentlemen. The two “Closest to the Pin” competitions were won by Ron Knight and the elderly Mike Spurs. The ‘’Thanks for Turning Up’’ award went to Keith Evans, who is getting closer to not winning something each time he plays!

The next competition is on 20th October at Los Moriscos Golf Club, so if you want to play, look us up on Facebook and make contact to get your name down.

Italy: Love The Liqueurs Bottega’s wines and drinks productions continue to please and receive awards.

Their liqueurs are excellent in cocktails, too.

Fior di Latte (15% vol) is white chocolate cream. This liqueur has a good bouquet of white chocolate, plus a soft and velvety mouthfeel. Gianduia Chocolate Cream (17% vol) is a creamy production that has an impressive aroma of Gianduia chocolate, which was created in Piedmont, Italy, during

1806. The bouquet of cocoa and nuts is typical of Gianduia. The sweetness of milk cream makes this a very popular choice, for many. Latte Macchiato (15% vol) has a blend of carefully – selected coffee beans to give the best aroma and taste. After the beans are crushed they are soaked in water and alcohol for 15 days, being stirred daily, then filtered and stabilised. The intense bouquet of coffee and milk follows through to the mouthfeel and palate sensation, perfectly. Crema di Limoncino (15% vol) has Sicilian lemon peels infused with alcohol, which gives the liqueur an intense and fresh bouquet of ripe lemons, plus harmonious milk and cream.

Other Bottega liqueur productions include Nero (15%) vol). Chocolate is reputedly ‘food of the gods’ and this production has many devotees. The dark chocolate sensations and the richness are perfect for chocoholics.

Pistacchio Cream (17% vol), with pistachios exclusively harvested in Sicily, is a favourite with numerous liqueur connoisseurs. For all

information and availability www.bottegaspa.com Staibano produces award-winning Amalfi Smooth (Crema di Limone). This light (17% vol) Italian premium lemon cream liqueur utilises high-quality Amalfi lemons IGP. Flamboyant Napolitan Don Vincenzo Staibano owned lemon groves and commenced productions during 1932. These productions continue today by Cesco Amodio, Don Vincenzo’s great-grandson. A fresh and

natural aroma greets the nasal senses, enticing to the smooth, delicious and refreshing mouthfeel, followed by superb pleasure on the palate. From the beginning the Staibano family have always enjoyed drinking Amalfi Smooth over ice, with fresh basil. Many people take pleasure in concocting various spritzers, perhaps with ginger beer, ice and fresh mint, for example.

Staibano drinks’ retailers include Harvey Nichols and online at Amazon. The website has all details, including fabulous cocktail recipes. www.staibano.com

As always, Enjoy!

"My wife wanted a new fridge. And because I like sex, I said yeah."

------------------------------------------------------------"I was in my car driving back from work. A police officer pulled me over and knocked on my window.

I said, 'One minute I'm on the phone.”

------------------------------------------------------------Here's a picture of me with REM. That's me in the corner.

------------------------------------------------------------Standing in the park, I was wondering why a frisbee looks larger the closer it gets... then it hit me.

------------------------------------------------------------I was playing chess with my friend and he said, 'Let's make this interesting.' So we stopped playing chess.

------------------------------------------------------------Bought myself some of them suppositories last week from Boots!! For all the good they did me I might as well have stuck them up my a***!

------------------------------------------------------------It's always so awkward ending phone calls with loved ones.

I'm always like "I love you" and they're like "Erm... thank you for choosing Domino's" ------------------------------------------------------------A chinese man walks into the pub, stands next to me and starts drinking.

I said “Do you know any of them martial arts like Kung Fu or Karate?”

He says “Why do you think that? Is it coz I is chinese?”

“No” I said “It’s because you are drinking my f****** drink!!!”

------------------------------------------------------------The phone rings and the wife answers.

A pervert breathing heavily says “I bet you have a tight a*** with no hair” The wife replies “Yes I do, he’s watching television, who should I say is calling?”

------------------------------------------------------------A priest says to his friend, the rabbi, that he has delveloped a plan for eating for free in really good restaurants.

He explains “I go in well past 9 0’clock in the evening, eat several courses, linger over dessert, coffee and a cigar. At about 2am, as they are cleaning up, I keep sitting there until a waiter comes and asks me to pay.

I tell him that I have already paid my original waiter who has left for the night and I suppose because I am a ‘man of the cloth’, he takes my word for it! I simply just get up and leave the restaurant.

The Rabbi, clearly impressed, says “Let’s do it together this evening!”

The priest agrees and books into a 5 star Italian restaurant.

They both eat like kings and just before 2am the waiter comes over with the bill and asks them to pay.

“We’ve already paid our original waiter who has left for the evening” explains the priest.

Then the Rabbi adds “And we’re still waiting for our change!”

------------------------------------------------------------A man walks into the chemist and asks “Where’s the tampax?”

“Over there” the assistant points.

The man returns with cotton wool balls and some toilet paper.

“I thought you wanted tampax?” asks the assistant “Yeah well last week i asked the wife to buy me a pack of cigarettes and she came back with a pouch of tobacco coz it was cheaper, so we’ll see how SHE likes rolling her own!!”

Then disown me and never talk to me again and don’t forget to write me out of your will so you can give my share to my brother.

Well she didn’t quite put it like that, she actually meant.......

“Dad, I’d like you to meet my new boyfriend, Mohammed!”

------------------------------------------------------------My friend at school said his Nan had a trip in the frozen food section in Asda.

"So what!" I replied, "My nan smoked some crack in the fruit and veg section of Tesco."

------------------------------------------------------------My local chippy has started using magazines instead of newspaper.

I'm eating them out of House and Home.

------------------------------------------------------------My wife suggested we spice up our marriage with 'doctors and nurses' role play.

So I put her on a trolley and ignored her for two days.

s e p o c s o Hor

by Juanita Banana of www.AbsoluteAxarquia.com ARIES: March 21-April 20 With the Sun in opposition, you may experience difficulty in focusing this month Aries and some work-related stress. To combat both you could drop any distractions and practice some breath meditation TAURUS: April 21-May 21 Mercury and Venus are stimulating Tauris this month, so watch out for strong intellectual and sensual distractions mid-October. With Uranus also coming into play soon too expect the unexpected!

GEMINI: May 22-June 21 While Jupiter and Saturn continue to aid your progress, an extra boost is given from Uranus. Don’t get frustrated if some things seem a little slow, better to change attitude towards this and all will work out to your best interests CANCER: June 22-July 22 Feeling a little at odds with yourself?

Then settle to what is immediately in front of you and try not to agitate over things you can’t fix. You would benefit from balancing work and home-life with some outdoor activities LEO: July 23-August 23 Things have calmed down after last month meaning you can relax and go with the flow. If you remain calm and collected when faced with a predicted unexpected event, you’ll have a peaceful and enjoyable October VIRGO: August 24-September 22 Energy and power comes to you courtesy of Mars this month Virgo. It’s a great time to make a home, renovate, decorate, work out at the gym, outline projects, plan wild adventures and just do everything that previously waited for this energy boost

LIBRA: September 23 - October 22 As the Sun makes a solar return to your sign, it brings support from Jupiter and Pluto, making you feel good, and ready to take on the world. You’ll be a bright, shining light amongst your friends and colleagues SCORPIO: October 23 - November 21 October brings all round improvements to Scorpio, with Venus and Mercury supporting your sign. You will have grace and poise though maybe flirtatious and liberal.

Enjoy fun and shared warmth with those close to you SAGITTARIUS: November 22 December 21 During October, the dynamics for Sagittarius are similar to last month, meaning your overall situation is remains good, upbeat and well organised. Avoid being over intense and to rush things – go slowly and success will be yours CAPRICORN: December 22 - January 20 Things are fairly quiet again in October for Capricorn. So slow down, avoid making a bigger than necessary deal of any issues and just do the things you personally feel to be important. Adventure awaits but not this month!

AQUARIUS: January 21 - February 19 With Uranus giving you a high sense of freedom and liberty and Neptune a sense of connection to the universe, this is an excellent time to open up to new options and projects, or to travel adventurously. Enjoy!

PISCES: February 20 - March 20 Whilst you have energy to tackle and do things, you very much need to stay focused and not stray too far from previously well-thought out plans. Stay close to home to avoid over-extending yourself!
