m Fro Ed... the So that’s it now — for those of us with children, summer is well and truly over for another year. It’s a bit sad really, because even though we are blessed with having almost three months’ holiday with our lovely children, for me it’s still not long enough to fit in everything I plan to do. However saying that, I did manage to send them to the UK for a week, have a few beach parties, enjoy parties with family and friends, entertain guests, take a boat trip where we saw dolphins for the first time, make a trip to the local water park, eat out in new restaurants, experience my first escape room, visit the cinema, try a fantastic virtual reality game… actually it’s a pretty long list when I think about it (and makes me feel exhausted just looking at it!) but it’s still not complete. However it’s no wonder we parents are totally worn out when the summer months come to an end! Now October is here we start to plan the next big event, Halloween. There are a few parties in the area that are not to be missed, such as the one in Kickoff Sports Bar, Torre del Mar, on Tuesday 31st with a best costume competition, prizes, “bloody” drinks, “messy” shots and “deadly” snacks.. come in if you dare! Bar Atila in Puente don Manuel has a party for the kids on Sunday 29th at 7pm with spooky fun, games and treats, and there is also an event at La Vaqueria in Benamargosa with fancy dress and live music also on Tuesday 31st.

Strange News another year all over again. For me, what’s important each year is that I achieve a memorable list of “firsts” — otherwise doing the same things year after year would become very boring. So far in 2017 my favourite “first” has to be my new-found hobby: “Escape rooms.” You can read all about it on page 14. Don’t forget there are still three months of this year left, so if you haven’t achieved some “firsts” yourself yet, you can start now. Best get planning! October is also the longest month, so enjoy a super-spooky time! My thought of the month October is the toughest month of the year. Others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August and February….

In a spin A seven-year-old boy got stuck in a washing machine while playing hide and seek with his sister. The youngster had to be rescued by firefighters in the bizarre incident in the city of Kharkov in eastern Ukraine. The boy, whose name has not been released, was playing hide and seek with his sister in the family’s flat. He thought he had found the perfect hiding place when he crawled into the drum of the washing machine. But once inside, he found he could not get out again and ended up shouting for help and emergency services were called. Four firefighters arrived and, after surveying the situation, came up with the idea of covering the boy in sunflower oil. And it paid off as the youngster suddenly slid out of the machine. Once free, the rescuers checked him over and – once they were satisfied he had not been hurt – handed him over to his relieved mother. Smokin’…… A faulty e-cigarette caused a major terrorism alert and the evacuation of Euston Station in London. Hundreds of people were seen running from the station in panic. British Transport Police said there had been ‘a small contained explosion’ which is believed to have been caused by an e-cigarette which was in a bag at the station. No-one is believed to be injured. Police cars and ambulances were seen speeding towards the rail station in North London and people posted photos online showing them stuck inside the tube station. One witness, who asked to remain anonymous, told Metro.co.uk: ‘I just saw hundreds of people running; it was crazy. Police were shouting at us all to get out, I have no idea what’s happened. I’ve never seen so many people running before.’ Search dogs examined the station to make sure it was safe, while the area was evacuated.

De Cotta Law Do’s and don’ts when buying property in Spain • Ensure that the legal title is checked and that the property can be sold free of any debts and charges • Establish with an independent lawyer if the property is fully licenced and that no administrative or legal sanctions are in place • In Spain there are debts which can be placed against the property such as Town Hall and Community of Owners’ fees, and it is important to find out if all of these debts will be cleared as part of the transaction to buy • Ensure that you have fulfilled the fiscal and legal requirements such as obtaining an NIE (fiscal identification number) • If you cannot be physically present for the purchase or sale it is best to appoint a lawyer to sign the public deeds on your behalf • Ensure with your advisers if you need an Inventory if you are buying furniture and contents in the property • If the property does not have all the necessary licences and is in a rural area, ensure that your lawyer has established who is going to complete this work and who will be responsible for costs and fees • Find out what charges and taxes you will have to pay when you go into possession of the property and ensure that these are paid annually • If you are selling, check what tax you would have to pay such as Capital Gains tax and local improvement tax – plus valia • When you have purchased a Spanish

property make sure you have a valid Spanish will to ensure that your spouse or beneficiaries can accept the inheritance • If you are leaving Spain to return to your home country you may be able to offset any Capital Gains tax with the purchase of a new residential home All of these things are important in ensuring you can enjoy your Spanish property and be able to sell or pass the property to your heirs in future. This list is not exhaustive, however, and each case is different particularly with rural properties. If you are buying or selling we offer a free first consultation to provide you with all the information you need. Call us on 952 527 014 or contact us on info@decottalaw.net.

The Modern Woman Tips for the ladies in year 2017

They know me here..

1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

2. If the shoe fits - buy one in every colour.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot, it solves nothing; and makes you walk funny.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila. 4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls! 5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days). 6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it. 7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality. 8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok.

11. When life gives you lemons - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka. 12. Remember every good looking, sweet, single male is someone else's ex-boyfriend!

Torrenigma - Escape Room - Torre del Mar After hearing that there were a couple of ‘Escape Rooms’ in Malaga and Gibraltar, I started preparing a group of friends for a road trip, but when I heard that one had opened on our doorstep here in Torre del Mar, I was even more excited and marched off to find it. I turned up at 10pm one night and enthusiastically banged on the door. I was greeted by a very friendly man called Juan who spoke Spanish and English and before I knew it, I had made an appointment. Excited was not the word! So at 10:30 one Saturday morning our party of six arrived. The game is for up to six players and only one group can play at any one time. Juan opened the doors, spot on time. On entering, Juan explained the rules and navigations to us in English and for those of us who had never done an Escape Room before, there was a distinct element of nervousness in the air. I could write for days about this experience but without giving too much away, for success it’s important to work within your team, listen to each other, assess what’s around you and most importantly, don’t give up! This was my first escape room and even though we did not make it out within the one-hour time frame this time, it certainly won’t be my last attempt — I am now officially well and truly addicted. This is what my team mates said about their experience: “I went bored and not very excited at all, but that all changed when I entered the room,” said Tony. “It totally takes you over and enthralls you. I was determined to help my team out. It’s absolutely brilliant. It was my first Escape Room but definitely won’t be the last!”

“It just leaves you wanting to do more,” said Rachelle. “There was a fabulous Gamesmaster on hand with tips and encouragement — it was an amazing experience which I would definitely recommend.” Eddie was also enthusiastic. “Having had so many let-downs previously, it was an absolute delight to find an Escape Room on our doorstep,” he said. “It was very intriguing and superb for team building. It kept me thinking and interested all the way through and I will definitely recommend it to others. I will also do it again as it’s great entertainment.” “It’s absolutely brilliant,” said Charlie. “We had a great time. It was very well organised and quite challenging — we didn’t make it unfortunately but still really enjoyed it.” “The clues and puzzles kept us guessing right until the end,” added Raine. “There were tense moments but also lots of laughs and a great sense of achievement after each solved puzzle.” If you would like to book the Escape Room ‘Torrenigma’, C/Isidoro Rivas, 3, Torre del Mar (down the side road of sports shop Base) see Facebook page Torrenigma or call Juan on 691 912 630. He speaks English and Spanish.

Female Lingo Six words women use... 1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. 2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the footie match before helping around the house. 3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. 4) Go Ahead: This is a dare – not permission. Don't do it! 5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by

men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. 6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. It means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

Interesting Facts... With roots stretching back to the 10th century, Luxembourg's history is closely intertwined with that of its more powerful neighbours, especially Germany. The only country with a higher Gross Domestic Product per capita than Luxembourg is Qatar. Due to its banking secrecy laws, Luxembourg has attained the reputation of a tax haven. Luxembourg has three official languages: French, German and Luxemburgish. Around 346,000 people around the world speak Luxembourgish. Nearly 40 per cent of the population of Luxembourg are immigrants; 15 per cent of them are of Portuguese origin. When giving someone flowers in Luxembourg it is customary to give an odd number, but not 13. The motto of the Luxembourg is ‘Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn’ which stands for ‘We want to remain what we are’.

Poetry Corner We loved this poem so much it was time to print it again The Spanish Five Minutes The other day I made a phone call, Action I wished them to take, Pretty music answered, It sounded like a wake. When at last a voice came, It was a pleasant surprise, Things were looking up, My hopes began to rise. They listened to my problem, Then they hummed and aah'd, Could they sort out a delivery, It wasn't all that hard. A few more minutes waiting, Oh no, that music again, Things were getting annoying, A right bloody pain. Then a subtle voice, Like gently twittering linnets "Leave it to me Sir" I ring back in five minutes. I waited and I waited, I've looked at it from all ways, I've come to a decision, Five minutes in Espaùa Means Five Bloody days. Well that’s Spain innit! By Peter C Allinson, Salobrena

Cool Knockbacks For when the man you really don’t fancy tries chatting you up HE: Can I buy you a drink? SHE: Actually I'd rather have the money. HE: I'm a photographer. I've been looking for a face like yours. SHE: I'm a plastic surgeon. I've been looking for a face like yours. HE: Hi. Didn't we go on a date once? Or was it twice? SHE: Must've been once. I never make the same mistake twice. HE: How did you get to be so beautiful? SHE: I must've been given your share. HE: Will you go out with me this Saturday? SHE: Sorry. I'm having a headache this weekend. HE: Your face must turn a few heads. SHE: And your face must turn a few stomachs.

HE: What would you say if I asked you to marry me? SHE: Nothing. I can't talk and laugh at the same time. HE: Shall we go see a movie? SHE: I've already seen it. HE: Where have you been all my life? SHE: Hiding from you. HE: Haven't I seen you some place before? SHE: Yes. That's why I don't go there anymore.

Halloween - 31st October Fun Facts Halloween is on October 31st, the last day of the Celtic calendar. It was originally a pagan holiday, honoring the dead. Halloween was referred to as All Hallows Eve and dates back to over 2000 years ago

harvest and black is associated with darkness and death Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween Fifty percent of kids prefer to receive chocolate candy for Halloween, compared with 24% who prefer non-chocolate candy and 10% who preferred gum The largest pumpkin ever measured was grown by Norm Craven, who broke the world record in 1993 with a 836 lb. pumpkin Trick-or-treating evolved from the ancient Celtic tradition of putting out treats and food to placate spirits who roamed the streets at Samhain, a sacred festival that marked the end of the Celtic calendar year The game bobbing for apples is thought to have originated from the roman harvest festival that honors Pamona, the goddess of fruit trees

The first Jack O’ Lanterns were actually made from turnips Michael Myers' mask in the movie Halloween was the face of William Shatner The film "Halloween" was made in only 21 days in 1978 on a very limited budget Halloween is the second highest grossing commercial holiday after Christmas Orange and black are Halloween colours because orange is associated with the Fall Ireland is typically believed to be the birthplace of Halloween Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes If you see a spider on Halloween, it is the spirit of a loved one watching over you

Top Tips Wise words mate! Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, always circle the stain in permanent pen, so that when you remove the garment from the washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain and check that it has gone. Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand next to the object you wish to view. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away. Always poo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid for it. :) 

Great Game Show Answers These great questions and answers are from the days when 'Hollywood Squares' game show responses were spontaneous, not scripted, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions Q. Do female frogs croak? A. If you hold their little heads under water long enough. Q. True or false, a pea can last as long as 5,000 years. A. Boy, it sure seems that way sometimes. Q. You've been having trouble going to sleep. Are you a man or a woman? A. That's what's been keeping me awake.

Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish temptation to nibble at a chocolate bar in the cupboard or fridge by not buying it in the first place.

Q. According to Cosmopolitan, if you meet a stranger at a party and you think that he is attractive, is it okay to come out and ask him if he's married? A. No. Wait until morning.

Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whisky. The morning after, you can create the effects of a hangover by drinking a thimble full of washing up liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall.

Q. What are 'Do It,' 'I Can Help,' and 'I Can't Get Enough'? A. I don't know, but it's coming from the next apartment.

Recreate the fun of a visit to a public swimming pool in your home by filling the bath with cold water, adding two bottles of bleach, then urinating into it, before jumping in.

Q. You've just decided to grow strawberries. Are you going to get any during the first year? A. Of course not! I'm too busy growing strawberries.

Fool next door into thinking you have more stairs than them by banging your feet twice on each stair.

Q. It is considered in bad taste to discuss two subjects at nudist camps. One is politics, what is the other? A. Tape measures.

The Secret To A Long Marriage It's not difficult to make a woman happy. A man only needs to be:

shopping, be honest, be very rich, not stress her out, not look at other girls

A friend, a companion, a lover, a brother, a father, a master, a chef, an electrician, a carpenter, a plumber, a mechanic, a decorator, a stylist, a sexologist, a gynecologist, a psychologist, a pest exterminator, a psychiatrist, a healer, a good listener, an organiser, a good father, very clean, sympathetic, athletic, warm, attentive, gallant, intelligent, funny, creative, tender, strong, understanding, tolerant, prudent, ambitious, capable, courageous, determined, true, dependable, passionate, compassionate

And at the same time, you must also:

Without forgetting to:

Now that seems fair doesn’t it? It’s all about compromise!

Male Or Female? You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female. Here are some examples:

TRAINS: Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.

FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom.

PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons.

HAMMERS: Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around.

TYRES: Tyres are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated. HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their bottom.

THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying.

SPONGES: These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.. (ain't that the truth). WEB PAGES: Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.

Male or Female?

Paragliding - Make Your Dreams Come True!

Paragliding is an experience that can lead to a new hobby, and popular opinion is that everyone should give it a go at least once in their lifetime. Here are a couple of reviews from very happy flyers! “As someone who suffers from vertigo, paragliding had never been my natural choice of fun activity — until I was recommended to Antonio,” says Mark Appleton. “From the moment I met him, his inimitable sense of humour and desire for fun made me feel immediately at ease. “But don’t be fooled — Antonio is a professional: meticulous with the preparation of all the excellent equipment and also making sure the conditions are as good as they can be before confirming a flight. He also prides himself in presenting clear instructions, making sure no stone is left unturned before you push off the side of that mountain. “The flight down to the beach in Almuñecar is breathtaking and Antonio guides you all the way down, making sure you take sufficient selfies in the process to record the memory, and pointing out anything of interest. It was an unforgettable experience, and one I would recommend to all — beginner and experienced alike.” -----------------------------------------------------------“We were in La Herradura when my daughter saw several paragliders soaring over the hills towards Punta de la Mona,” says Stephan Mills. “I would love to try that,” my daughter announced, to which I replied, “If you want to do it, I'll do it with you!” I dug out an article I had seen in the Sentinella magazine which had the contact details. I called Antonio and arranged to meet at Velilla beach one Monday morning for the start of our adventure. In advance he forwarded me videos and YouTube links so we could familiarise ourselves — especially with the take-off 'run'. From the beginning,

Antonio was very professional and conveyed the confidence of his 30 years experience which is extremely important. After meeting Antonio and his fellow tandem instructor Rafael, we headed towards the first of two possible take-off sites. Antonio had explained that if the wind direction was not ideal we would proceed to another site higher up at approximately 1000 metres which, in fact, happened. (I secretly had hoped for this, knowing that higher meant an even longer flight!) However, as we approached the second site after climbing the steep track in their 4x4, I have to admit to feeling my first pangs of apprehension as I looked down the slope from which I was about to jump with Rafa. On the other hand, my daughter calmly took it all in without flinching and not a sign of nerves... the confidence of youth! We both listened intently to Antonio as he briefed us on the four points to remember. I stood by and watched my daughter get airborne with him. He made it look so smooth and easy. As we watched them float down the valley, I soon followed with Rafa. Once in the air, I could take it all in. The silence and feeling of being like a bird soaring as we gazed down on the A7 autovia way below was amazing. We even flew through several fluffy white clouds. As we neared Velilla beach, I had a bird’s eye view of Antonio performing several turns over the blue water of nearby El Tesorillo beach before making an impressive turn in over the headland for a textbook landing by my daughter on Velilla beach. Rafa also landed perfectly, except that I suffered the indignity of ending up sitting on the sand. The nearby sunbathers had seen my 'classic' landing technique but Parapente Tropical kindly edited it out of the video!” To book your flight call 605 940 618 / 654 198 820 www.parapentegranada.info

Kids In Church Children, don’t you just love em!! A little boy was overheard praying, ‘Lord, if you can’t make me a better boy, don’t worry about it. I’m having a real good time like I am,’ After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, ‘That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, I wanted to stay with you guys.’ A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they were on the way to church service, ‘And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?’ One bright little girl replied, ‘Because people are sleeping.’ A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. ‘If Jesus were sitting here,

he would say, ‘Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.’ Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, ‘Ryan, you be Jesus!’ A father was at the beach with his children when his four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand. ‘Daddy, what happened to him?’ the son asked. ‘He died and went to Heaven.’ the Dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, ‘Did God throw him back down?’

The Gas Man Some interesting information regarding the bogus gas man Often these people pose as employees of a company recognised as Repsol or Cepsa to gain the trust of potential customers. (This in itself is not a crime, but it may be an administrative offence). Unlike in England where their actions could be party to deception offences. They work with lists of people that they are supplied with, but they target the elderly and non residents because in their opinion they are easier to deceive. After a thorough review of the gas appliances and connections, the scammer tells his victim that the facility is in poor condition and should be changed or it will be cut off. The inspector makes false promises to expedite the process in exchange for a small gratuity or sometimes charging cash it costs to repair. Most of the companies they work for these people are legal. They may change elements...or sell other elements that are not mandatory. The more they charge the more they gain. USEFUL INFORMATION Do not open the door... even if they have the accreditation of gas inspector, unless you have arranged the visit previously. If they contact you saying they will send someone to your house for a review, you must refuse. It is always the customer who calls the company. Check your gas contract and check the dates of review (every 5 years). Failure to do so only involves a risk to you and problems with home insurance if an accident occurs. If you decide to do a review, see the person who provides gas cylinders. He will provide phone numbers of official business. The tube must be changed when it expires and the regulator when it stops working. Mick Stockdale in conversation with a Spanish Police Officer

The Poison Fruit Apples and Wine Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren’t as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they’re amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Now men… men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it’s up to women to stomp the s*** out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

At Rumours It’s Not All About The ..Hair & Beauty... There’s Much More!! Rumours can also offer chiropody treatments with UK-trained Susan Blackwell For example, have you taken a good look at your feet recently? They can tell a story or two! Chiropody treatments include a general evaluation of the foot — including toenails, skin and general foot healthcare of the individual. Within a treatment included is a nail cut and file/burr, removal of callus and hard skin, corn removal, advice on verruca treatments and advice on looking after your feet — this is important for diabetics. Do you suffer with thick— often fungal — toenails, ingrowing toenails, athletes’ foot and/or cracked heels? Seeing a chiropodist can help these conditions. Have you ever tried reflexology? It is an ancient art of healing by applying pressure to specific areas of the foot (or hand) which correspond to other parts of the body, its organs and systems. Reflexology primarily improves the circulation and assists the body in eliminating toxins and waste. By applying

pressure and stimulating the reflex points, we help clear these channels and pathways, improving their functioning and balance, relieving tension from stressed areas and stimulating under-active areas. It can help the lymphatic system work more efficiently too, resulting in reduced swelling. Similarly, it can help the digestive system and conditions such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). A reflexology session — or regular sessions — contribute towards the maintenance and wellbeing of your mind and body, encouraging your body to look after and heal itself. Susan is in the salon on Thursdays and Fridays in Puente don Manuel. Call 951 232 881 for hair, beauty and chiropody appointments. See main advert on page 27

s Now b e l Ce en & d Gere Th ichar R

Richard Gere, born August 31, 1949, the son of an insurance salesman and a housewife, was a noted gymnast and musician in his youth. His acting career began in repertory in Seattle, and he appeared on the London stage in Grease in 1973. He is possibly best known as the ultimate sex symbol in such films as American Gigolo (1980), An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) and Pretty Woman (1990). He was named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1999. Gere had well-publicised affairs with Priscilla Presley and Kim Basinger, and was married to supermodel Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995. In November 2002, he married model and actress Carey Lowell, with whom he has a son, Homer James Jigme Gere. The couple have since divorced. However, in addition to acting in many highly-acclaimed and award-winning roles, Gere is also a humanitarian activist. A practising Buddhist, he is also an advocate for human rights in Tibet. He is a co-founder of the

Tibet House, creator of The Gere Foundation and Chairman of the Board of Directors for the International Campaign for Tibet. Because he supports the Tibetan Independence Movement, he is permanently banned from entering the People's Republic of China. In September 2007, Gere called for the boycott of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to put pressure on China to make Tibet independent.

Since she got together with Prince Harry, Meghan has kept quiet about their relationship, but has now opened up for the first time about meeting her special Prince. Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, Meghan revealed that she met Harry through friends and they were secretly dating for six months before it was made public in November 2016. "We're a couple. We're in love," she told the magazine. "I'm sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time.” "We're two people who are really happy and in love." Elsewhere in the interview Meghan explains that it isn't easy dating a royal, but says pals and Harry make things easier. "It has its challenges, and it comes in waves some days it can feel more challenging than others,” she says. "But I still have this support system all around me and, of course, my boyfriend's support. "Nothing about me changed," she added. "I'm still the same person that I am and I've never defined myself by my relationship." There are currently rumours that an announcement of engagement is on its way.

Publicity stunt? Katie Price’s ex husband, cage fighter Alex Reid, has accused the former glamour model of timing her latest divorce for publicity reasons. Price has filed for her third divorce, claiming that third husband Kieran Hayler is a “sex addict” and has been cheating on her with their nanny. Reid, however, believes it's all a publicity stunt to coincide with her upcoming tour and says "It's convenient timing". The nanny has denied the claims and Kieran has said he still loves Katie.

83

C el e Newbrity s

Reid, who split from Katie in 2011, told the Mirror: “It’s extremely convenient timing, one million per cent. There’s no coincidence here. This whole situation is a great money making opportunity. “There’s no factual evidence to prove what’s happened.” But he doesn't stop there. He even goes on to say he "feels sorry" for Kieran and that he doesn't believe Katie's claims one bit. Alex said: “Having been in a similar situation, and understanding how difficult it must be for Kieran, I feel sorry for him. “I also feel sorry for the nanny accused. There’s no factual evidence to prove what’s happened. In fact, the nanny denied everything, also claiming that Katie owes her money."

Cheryl’s comeback It’s two whole years since Cheryl, formerly Cole, last made an appearance on TV talent show The X Factor, but there are now rumours that she is coming back. The new mum is said to be joining up with her old boss Simon Cowell to help in his quest to win this year's show. It's been reported that Cheryl will help Simon to narrow down his acts for the Judges’ Houses part of the series. Cheryl, who as a judge won the show twice with Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry. She certainly has an eye for talent, something Simon is all too aware of. A source told the Mail Online: “Simon is ecstatic at getting Cheryl back working with him again. They’ve had their ups and downs to say the least but he hugely respects her opinion.”

pomegranate juice can be useful in men with prostate cancer, potentially inhibiting cancer growth and lowering the risk of death.

They contain a range of beneficial plant compounds, and many studies have shown that they have incredible benefits for your body.

Regular intake of pomegranate juice has been shown to lower blood pressure levels in as little as 2 weeks.

The skin of the pomegranate is thick and inedible, but there are hundreds of edible seeds called arils within, and these are what people eat – either raw or processed into pomegranate juice. One cup of arils (174 grams) contains 7 grams of fibre, 3 grams of protein, 30% of the RDA of vitamin C, 36% of the RDA of Vitakin K, 16 % of the RDA of folate and 12% of the RDA of potassium. However, where pomegranates really shine is in their content of powerful plant compounds, some of which have potent medicinal properties. Punicalagins are extremely powerful antioxidants found in the juice and peel of a pomegranate. They are so powerful that pomegranate juice has been found to have three times the antioxidant activity of red wine and green tea. Pomegranate extract and powder is typically made from the peel, due to its high antioxidant and punicalagin content which have been shown to reduce inflammation, one of the leading drivers of many killer diseases. Test tube studies have shown that it can reduce inflammatory activity in the digestive tract, as well as in breast cancer and colon cancer cells. Punicic acid, also known as pomegranate seed oil, is the main fatty acid in the arils. It is a type of conjugated linoleic acid with potent biological effects. There is preliminary evidence that

Laboratory studies have shown that pomegranate extract can block enzymes that are known to damage joints in people with osteoarthritis. Several human studies have shown that pomegranate can have benefits against heart disease. It improves the cholesterol profile and protects LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects may also protect against infections and inflammation in the mouth. These include conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis and denture stomatitis. Some evidence shows that pomegranate can improve memory in the elderly and post-surgery, and studies in mice suggest that it can protect against Alzheimer's disease. I think there is going to be a mad rush for pomegranate juice... :)

Migrane And Tension Headache Sufferers Don’t Stress... Do you suffer from tension across the shoulders and up the back of the neck? Tension headaches and migraines can be a result of muscle tightness and posture plays a big part in this. If your head is protracted in a forwards position and shoulders rolled forwards then your posture may be causing tension and discomfort across the back of your shoulders, between the shoulder blades. These posterior muscles become over-stretched and weakened while the muscles at the front of your shoulders, your Pectorals and big Latissimus dorsi muscles that rotate your arms inwards become tight. Sports and Remedial massage with me can help this posture by releasing the tight front muscles and restoring balance, relieving the sore muscles in the shoulders and drawing your shoulder blades back into better posture. Sports Massage can also relieve tension in the neck, relaxing the posterior muscles and training it to extend rather than protract forwards. Sports Remedial Massage has two roles

when it comes to treating migraines and tension related headaches. In a proactive role, massage treatments are performed on a regular basis to help the body maintain an optimal level of relaxation and stress-relief. This approach reduces the chances of migraine attacks and tension headaches significantly by relaxing muscle spasms and trigger points. In a comfort role, massage is done to ease the pressure brought on during a migraine or tension related headache. By focusing on the neck, shoulders, and head, massage can decrease the pain and discomfort brought on by migraine or tension headache. Relief of Tension-Related Headaches Benefits *Decreases occurrences of headaches, sleep disturbances and distress symptoms *Allows one to maintain a level of relaxation and stress-relief, reducing the chances of stress induced migraines See main advert below

Time To Sell Up? How To Get Started. Since the crisis began in 2008 the housing market in Andalusia has been slow to recover. But in the last 3 years it has been on the up and properties are now selling again. Of course, not everything sells and some properties can sit on the market without moving for a long time, often for no fault other than being in too isolated a location, or being too close to a neighbouring house, etc. But others are ‘flying off the shelf’ at top speed!

vendor can make is overpricing their houses – be realistic, as the market dictates the price, not the vendor

So if you are thinking of selling your house in Spain, think carefully about how you should go about this, to maximise your chance of selling relatively quickly and smoothly. Here are three vital things to think about:

3. Make your house presentable. Get those jobs done that you have been meaning to do – a lick of paint, fixing cracks or roof leaks, de-cluttering (very important), and tidying up the gardens, patios or terraces.

1. Get the price right. Calculate roughly what you have spent on the property to date, in order to focus the mind on an acceptable sales price. Some people manage to make a small profit, others know they will be making a loss. Check out the prices of similar properties on some of the specialist property portals such as Kyero.com or on the local estate agency websites, to find out what is the right sort of price. The biggest mistake a

Buyers are most active in Autumn and Springtime, so now is the time to put your house up for sale if you are thinking of selling. Select your agencies carefully, maybe putting the property on with 2 or 3 at the most to start with, and see how it goes.

2. Check your documentation. Even if you think your paperwork is fine that may not be the case, especially after new legislation that is only now being put into practice. Buyers are acutely aware of all these things nowadays and will often go for the easiest option.

La Vaqueria Sitting here in La Vaqueria garden listening to live music on a full stomach of delicious buffet food as I write to you this month. The glorious weather and great atmosphere here every Sunday makes for a really special day out and the lovely drive up our lemon, avocado and mango packed valley is the perfect way to start your relaxing day This old cowshed has seen many changes over the last 15 years as it has developed into a thriving arts and crafts centre with a fabulous cafe. Emphasis has always been on homemade good value food using fresh local ingredients, many of which are home grown. Over the years we have held many markets and fairs, hosted private events and parties and even had the odd rave!!! Now with growing interest in all things natural and holistic we have decided to start a monthly HOLISTIC & ARTESAN FAYRE. We have been offering a free treatment room to practitioners from Tues - Thurs as we feel that the area definitely needs more of this sort of thing! So, every 3rd Sat of every month (bar January when we close) we will be inviting artesans, practitioners, demonstrators and promoters to join us to make this a

special, enjoyable and informative occasion. We will have a variety of stalls plus a bonsai and a dream catcher demonstration and the treatments will be reike, hot stone massage, reflexology and also palm reading and indian head massage... something for everyone! Meanwhile in the campo the mango harvest has started, a good year surprising given the lack of water this year but nevertheless the people I have spoken to are happy and the price is good too. With all of the bags full we have gratefully received we are now in full chutney production and mango crumble is becoming a firm favourite. We are finishing up the month on 31st with a Halloween party, fancy dress and live music. Fun for all with a bank holiday to get over it all...win win!! Several people have mentioned that La Vaqueria is "a bit hard " to find... thank you all for your feedback and for persevering and telling us it was worth it!! For new comers, I am putting up more signs but also please look for us on google maps, on our website and on facebook... they all show you the way and we are looking forward to welcoming you when you arrive!!

Oasis Hair & Beauty - Torre Del Mar With a ‘talk of the town’ dinner dance looming, it was time to pull out the glad rags, plan the accessories and put aside some time to think about glamming myself up. I decided to try a fairly new salon recently opened in Torre del Mar, ‘Oasis Hair & Beauty’. I decided on a pedicure with Clare and some nail art with Sacha. On entering the salon there was a great ambience about the place. I was greeted immediately and offered a drink. I was taken to the pedicure area spot on my appointment time. Clare, a trained Beauty Therapist for many years, was extremely polite, friendly

Clare also specialises in pedicures, manicures, lash extensions, reflexology, aromatherapy, facials and more. Next it was over to the nail section for some nail art with Sasha. Well, I have to say that this place runs like clockwork — to the minute, in fact, for my nail appointment. I had heard Sasha was extremely good at nail art and I had seen some of her work, so after a quick description of my dress, I left it in her capable hands to make my nails look beautiful. As you can see in the photo below, that’s just what she did.

I was now ready for the ball — with thanks to ‘Oasis’! and chatty — she made my whole experience a very relaxed one. In fact we chatted almost solidly for a whole hour about this and that, and afterwards, I had lovely soft, relaxed feet, painted nails and a new friendship!

If you would like to make an appointment, tel: 644 744 404 or pop in (next to Mercadona and Aquaveliz water park). C/Ruta de Los Carboneros, Torre del Mar

Monthly Baking Blog By Susan Jane Halloween Pumpkin Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Topping As the summer draws to a close with cooler darker evenings creeping up, there is most definitely an autumnal feel to the air. With Halloween scheduled for the end of this month I thought that a cake recipe in keeping with this event would be most appropriate. Taking advantage of the fresh produce vailable a recipe using pumpkin seemed like a good idea. For any carrot cake lovers out there this cake has a very similar flavour, but the addition of the condensed milk once the cake has been removed from the oven makes the cake soft, very moist and super delicious; It is definitely worth giving this cake a go. The recipe is super easy you do not even require a mixer, so here goes:-

For the Topping: Zest of 1 orange 25g butter 75g Cream Cheese 115g Icing Sugar Set over temperature to 150 degrees C Fan. Line an 8” (20cm) square tin with greaseproof paper. Mix together the oil, eggs, sugar and pumpkin puree Gently add in the flour, baking powder and spices (add nuts here if you choose) and mix well. Pour the mixture into the baking tin and place in the oven. Bake for approx 35/40 mins or until the skewer test comes out clean. Whilst still warm pour the condensed milk over the top of the cake and allow to soak in. Beat together the topping ingredients Once the cake is cool spread the topping over the cake. Slice and serve. Happy Halloween !

Enjoy Sue x

Ingredients 175g Pumpkin puree. – Cut the raw pumpkin into chunks and place on a baking tray in a moderate oven 150 degrees C. Bake until soft, or alternatively you can use a microwave and cook until soft. Remove, cool and puree with a blender, then set aside. ¾ cup sunflower oil 140g Sugar 2 Eggs 175g S.R. Flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg ½ teaspoon mixed spice 100g Chopped Walnuts – Optional 1/3 small tin of condensed milk

) : a h a Jokes h Thanks to AP & MP for the following jokes I'd just boarded a Ryanair flight in Prague when a young local couple sneaked into the plane's toilet for a quickie before take-off. Within minutes, they were banging away and you could hear the moaning and groaning noises from the back row. "How do they get away with it?", I asked a grumpy looking stewardess as she went down the aisle closing lockers. "God knows", she replied sharpish. "These flippin pre-flight Czechs get right on my tits" ------------------------------------------------------------The inventor of the USB stick has died. Thanks for the memory. ------------------------------------------------------------A Pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, “Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible.” “What do you mean?” said the Pirate, “I feel fine.” “What about the wooden leg? You didn’t have that before.” “Arr, well,” said the Pirate, “We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I’m fine now.” The bartender replied, “Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?” The pirate explained, “We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook, but I’m fine, really.” “What about that eye patch?” “Arrrr, well” said the pirate, “One day we were at sea, and a flock of a big fat Albatross flew over. As I looked up, the bastard thing only went and shat in me eye didn't it, Arrrr!” “You’re kidding,” said the bartender. “You couldn’t lose an eye just from bird s***” “Arr, bejasus lad it was me first day with this

feckin hook!” ------------------------------------------------------------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. ------------------------------------------------------------Two Irish blokes are out hunting in the woods when Paddy says,"I'm dying for a s***, but I haven't got anything to wipe my arse with." Mick says,"Have you got a fiver Paddy?" "Yes," says Paddy."Well use that," replies Mick. So Paddy goes off for 5 minutes and comes back with s*** all over his hands and clothes. Mick says,"What the f*** happened to you?" Paddy looks at him and replies,"Have you ever tried to wipe your arse with four pound coins and two 50 pence pieces?" ------------------------------------------------------------I walked into a corner shop in Liverpool and picked up a chocolate bar. I asked, "How much is this love?" She said, "You're not from around here are you?" ------------------------------------------------------------A mother in law said to her sons wife, "I don't mean to be rude but the baby doesn't look like my son " The wife then lifted up her skirt and said "I don't mean to be rude either but it's a fanny not a photocopier ------------------------------------------------------------After waiting ages for a reply, I've finally got a letter from the Royal Mail confirming my job application has been successful. I start last Monday. ------------------------------------------------------------This anti-bullying campaign in schools is all very well but where is the next generation of traffic wardens going to come from?

Jokes h a ha :) A businessman was preparing to go on a long business trip, so he thought he'd buy his wife something to keep her occupied. He went to a sex shop and explained his situation. The man there said, 'Well, I don't know that I have anything that will keep her occupied for so many weeks, except... the Magic Penis!' The husband said, 'The what'? The man repeated, 'The Magic Penis,' and pulled out what seemed to be an ordinary dildo. The husband laughed, and said, 'It looks like a dildo!' The man then pointed to the door and said, 'Magic Penis door!' The penis rose out of its box, darted over to the door and started pounding away at the keyhole. The whole door shook wildly with vibrations, so much so, that a crack began to form down the middle. Then the man said, 'Magic Penis, return to box!' and the penis stopped and returned to the box. The husband bought it and took it home to his wife. After the husband had been gone a few days, the wife remembered the Magic Penis. She undressed, opened the box and said 'Magic Penis, my crotch.' The penis shot to her crotch.. It was absolutely incredible. After three mind shattering orgasms, she became very exhausted and decided she'd had enough. She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. Her husband had neglected to tell her how to turn it off so she put her clothes on, got in her car and started for the closest hospital. On the way, another incredibly intense orgasm made her swerve all over the road. A police officer saw this and immediately pulled her over. He asked for her license, and then asked how much she'd had to drink. Gasping and twitching, the woman said, 'I

haven't had anything to drink officer. You see, I've got this Magic Penis thing stuck in my crotch and it won't stop screwing me.' The officer looked at her for a second, shook his head and replied, 'Yeah right.... Magic Penis, my ass...!' -----------------------------------------------------------Channel 4 have announced a new series where four Jeremy Kyle guests take it in turns to cook frozen pizzas and Pot Noodles for each other. It's called ‘Scum Dine With Me’ -----------------------------------------------------------I really don’t see the problem with genetically modified food, I’ve just had a lovely leg of salmon! -----------------------------------------------------------Whilst travelling to Malaga on the motorway with a colleague, coming in the opposite direction was a car with a wheelbarrow on the roof being held on by two arms. “That must be an offence” I said “No” replied my colleague, “It’s a wheelbarrow” -----------------------------------------------------------During my physical examination, my doctor asked me about my physical activity level. I described a typical day, "Well, yesterday afternoon, I took a five hour walk about 7 miles through some pretty rough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way through brambles. I got sand in my shoes and my eyes. I avoided standing on a snake. I climbed several rocky hills. I took a few 'leaks' behind some big trees. The mental stress of it all left me shattered. At the end of it all I drank eight beers." Inspired by the story, the doctor said, "You must be one hell of an outdoors man!" "No," I replied, "I'm just a s*** golfer."
