I hope you have all enjoyed a beautiful summer in Spain. I suppose now, at the beginning of September, the crowds of people are starting to dissipate and life is getting back to normality for many of you.

Life in the USA this last month has been pretty full-on and the raging fires, which caused havoc across the south coast of Spain in 2012, seem to be following me! This summer I’m across the pond, in a place called Sun Valley, Idaho, USA and I’m having to confine myself to indoors, where fortunately we have an air filter system.

Otherwise, the smoke might well cause us breathing problems. Thousands of tourists flock to this region every year to enjoy the sunshine and to go hiking on one of the many trails. However, hiking trails are being closed left, right and centre, and the sunshine is hidden beyond a grey blanket of smoke covering the town. There are five fires burning the landscape at the moment, with a huge team of firefighters battling to keep them all under control. Join me in sending Light to all those who have been affected by the fires and their aftermath of destruction.

Not wishing to hang around in these conditions, tomorrow I’m going to Los Angeles for a week or so, driving there and stopping in the state of Oregan for a couple of days on the way back.

It’s just as well because I could use a holiday and thankfully the weather is amazing in LA at this time of the year, so hopefully there’ll be lots of sunshine to enjoy.

This months photo was taken by Shirley Martin from Torre del Mar. She snapped this stunning photo on a recent trip to the Nerja Caves

The Birds A 69-year-old woman has been terrorised by a flock of seagulls which swoops down on her every time she leaves her house.

Penny Freeman, from Bridlington, East Yorkshire, was left facing the consequences after beginning to put food out in the garden for small birds. She was soon swamped by a large colony of ravenous seagulls.

The problem then escalated when one of their eggs fell from a nest and the adults constantly guarded it.

Ms Freeman told The Sun: "It was terrifying. I couldn't leave the house and I felt like a prisoner. The birds were very threatening - they're like lizards."

Feeling Peckish? Designer Chris Godfrey has created the All in One meal in a tin, giving everyone the chance to eat like royalty.

The menu includes; -A selection of local cheeses with sourdough bread -Pickled Kobe beef with charred strawberry -Ricotta ravioli with a soft egg yolk -Shitake mushroom topped with filled peppers -Halibut poached in truffle butter in a coconut crepe -Risotto foraged ramps, prosciutto and fresh parmesan -French onion soup with fresh thyme and gruyere cheese -Roast pork belly and celeriac root puree -Palate cleanser, pear ginger juice -Rib eye steak with grilled mustard greens -Crack pie with milk ice cream on a vanilla tuile -French canele with a malt barley and hazelnut latte Geoffery said in a blog: “The All in One 12 course meal offers the average person the chance to dine like royalty without the washing up."

De Cotta Law Divorcing in the English courts using a Spanish based law firm and an English barrister We are often asked whether a couple can choose which country to divorce in and where they will have the greater economic advantage.

With the new European regulations a “first come, first served” approach has been taken.

A lot has been written in the news about wealthy individuals - forum shopping – that is looking for the best country to take the action.

Where there is considerable wealth this is often thought to be England. One successful London case went to the Supreme Court and involved a wealthy individual who used a network of companies to try and avoid a payment to his wife. The Supreme Court decided in favour of the wife in this case.

However a very different case will have set alarm bells ringing among English divorce lawyers as a husband’s declared dislike of the English weather has prevented his wife from making claims against property he has in England! The husband says he intends to remain in Spain although his wife presented evidence that he was less than complimentary about Spain when they were together.

If there is a divorce in Spain the door can remain open in England under specific provisions which allow someone to make a financial application in England after a foreign divorce. You have to prove that the financial matters have not been properly dealt with and there are assets in England such as property, monies or pensions.

One option is to instruct a barrister in England who can advise you and act for you. Barristers will be familiar with the decisions being made in the Family courts so can help in avoiding unnecessary expense by seeking a negotiated

agreement if that is in your best interests.

They can also help to ensure that you get disclosure of the true financial situation of the other party. This can be very important in pension cases for UK spouses. Using the relatively new Barrister’s Public Access scheme and with the help of an instructing firm, such as De Cotta Law, based in Spain you can avoid the potentially higher cost of using a UK solicitor’s firm and would only need to travel to the UK when a court hearing is required.

For more information on Family Law and Divorce, please contact Sandra Wrightson at De Cotta Law’s Nerja office on (+34) 952 527 014 or email sandrawrightson@decottalaw.net See main advert below

Helpful Tips To Prevent Burglaries Many people have alarm systems, but don’t arm them because it’s inconvenient. Many burglars know this and will not be deterred by a sign -- or even dummy systems indicating that the home has an alarm system.

If you don’t feel familiar with your alarm system, call your installer for another introduction. Any professional installer will understand your situation and will be more than happy to go over your system once more with you. Take time to talk to your installer; tell them that it makes you feel as though you don’t want to use it. If your installer takes his job seriously, he will find a solution for you. Sometimes little adjustments to your convenience, are making a big difference.

This information is brought to you by ¡PERFECT Alarm! SL, the professional experts for your security. Here in the Axarquia, you can find many satisfied customers who have stopped burglary attempts with our quality systems. We provide the latest technology and equipment which fits each property and situation. We understand that no two homes or lifestyles are the same, so we provide quality security systems that fit your individual needs.

Interesting Facts - Ethiopia is Africa’s second largest country in terms of population. Apart from a five-year occupation by Mussolini's Italy, it has never been colonised.

Although it has had fewer of the coups that have plagued other African countries, Ethiopia's turmoil has been no less devastating. Drought, famine, war and ill-conceived policies brought millions to the brink of starvation in the 1970s and 1980s.

Ethiopia is one of Africa's poorest states, although it has experienced rapid economic growth since the end of the civil war. Almost two-thirds of its people are illiterate. The economy revolves around agriculture, which in turn relies on rainfall. It is one of Africa's leading coffee producers.

Many Ethiopians depend on food aid from abroad. In 2004 the government began a drive to move more than two million people away from the arid highlands of the east in an attempt to provide a lasting solution to food shortages.

Paraprosdokians Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous. (Winston Churchill loved them)

To steal from many is research.

9. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

10. In filling out an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, Notify:' I put 'DOCTOR'.

2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.

11. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit..

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism.

12. You do not need a parachute to skydive.

You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

13. I used to be indecisive.

Now I'm not so sure..

14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

15. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

16. You're never too old to learn something stupid.

“Young lady,” said the doctor, “you’re pregnant.”

“Well my dear,” said the doctor, “someone in your colony is cockeyed!”

The Barber’s Ball An old man walks into the barbershop for a shave and a haircut, but he tells the barber he probably can't get all of his whiskers off because his cheeks are wrinkled from age.

The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and tells him to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin.

When he's finished, the old man tells the barber that was the cleanest shave he's had in years, but he wanted to know what would have happened if he had swallowed that little ball.

The barber replied, "Just bring it back in a couple of days like everyone else does."

The Professional Leak Detection Company serving the Costa del Sol LEAK-TEC specialise in the location and repair of Swimming Pools, Depositos, Spa Baths and mains water feeds. With the very latest technologically advanced leak detection equipment we can locate and repair the following....

Swimming pools - Leaks in the return lines (jets), suction lines (sump drain, vac points and skimmer boxes), pool lights and conduits.

We can also detect and repair problematic areas in the fabric of the Swimming Pool, Spa Baths and Depositos and locate and repair leaking water mains feeds and all without having to empty the unit of water or break-up any soft or hard standing surfaces.

HOW DO WE DO THIS? - By using the very latest leak detection equipment we have to hand a pool scope transducer that can locate leaks to within 0.5m we have an internal pipe camera with dye testing facilities attached and an internal "pipe-mic" (patent pending) that can pin point a problem to within 10cms.

Add all the above to 30 years collective experience in the pool construction industry and you have the very best in swimming pool support.

LEAK-TEC is a division of Axarquia pools.

Smart-Arse Answers Of The Year Really smart arse answers...

5th Place It was mealtime during a flight on a British Airways plane: ‘Would you like dinner?' the stewardess asked the man seated in the front row.

'What are my choices?' the man asked.

'Yes or no,' she replied.

2nd Place The policeman got out of his car and approached the boy racer he stopped for speeding.

'I've been waiting for you all day,' the bobby said.

The kid replied, 'Yes, well I got here as fast as I could.'

When the policeman finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

4th Place A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets.

As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her.

Without blinking an eyelid she said, 'Sir, I need to see your ticket not your stub.'

3rd Place A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at a branch of Sainsbury's but she couldn't find one big enough for her family.

She asked a passing assistant, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?'

The assistant replied, 'I'm afraid not, madam,

1st Place A lorry driver was driving along on a country road. A sign came up that read 'Low Bridge Ahead.'

Before he realised it, the bridge was directly ahead and he got stuck under it. Cars are backed up for miles.

Finally, a police car arrives. The policeman got out of his car and walked to the lorry's cab and said to the driver, 'Got stuck, eh?'

The lorry driver said, 'No, I was delivering this bridge and I ran out of petrol.’

Medical Thermography & Nutrition PREVENTION - EARLY DETECTION - MONITORING

Non Invasive

Reliable

Radiation Free Pain free

Neck pain or a stiff neck is a common problem and generally nothing to worry about. The pain and stiffness usually gets better after a few days.

You can get a painful or stiff neck if you sleep in an awkward position, use a computer keyboard for a prolonged period of time, or even from sitting in a draught.

Anxiety and stress can also sometimes cause tension in your neck muscles, which can lead to pain in your neck. However, there is often no obvious cause of neck pain and doctors will refer to it as 'non-specific'.

Managing neck pain at home - Whatever the cause of neck pain or a stiff neck, the advice is generally the same: carry on with your normal daily activities, keep active and take painkillers to relieve the symptoms.

•Take regular doses of paracetamol, ibuprofen, or a combination of the two, to control pain ibuprofen gel can be rubbed onto your neck as an alternative to taking tablets.

•Try holding a hot water bottle or heat pack to your neck - this can help reduce the pain and any muscle spasms.

•Sleep on a low, firm pillow at night - avoid using two pillows because it may force your neck to bend unnaturally.

Janet Van Dam Tel: 618 989 125

www.well-therm.com

•Check your posture - bad posture can aggravate the pain and it may have caused it in the first place. Find out how to sit correctly.

•Avoid wearing a neck collar - there is no evidence to suggest that wearing a neck collar will help to heal your neck, and it is better to keep your neck mobile.

•Avoid driving until the pain and stiffness have gone.

•If your neck is stiff or twisted, try some simple neck exercises - gently tense your neck muscles as you tilt your head up and down and from side to side, and as you carefully twist your neck from left to right. These exercises will help strengthen your neck muscles and improve your range of movement.

See your GP if the pain or stiffness does not improve after a few days.

Some people suddenly wake up one morning to find their neck twisted to one side and stuck in that position. This is known as acute torticollis and is caused by injury to the neck muscles.

Acute torticollis can take up to a week to get better.

Ticks Bought to us by Tina from Happy Hounds.

Ticks are parasitic arthropods that feed on the blood of their hosts. They are attracted to warmth and motion, often seeking out mammals – including dogs. Ticks tend to hide out in tall grass or plants in wooded areas, waiting for prospective hosts. Once a host is found, the tick climbs on and attaches its mouth parts into the skin, beginning the blood meal.

Once locked in place, the tick will not detach until its meal is complete. It may continue to feed for several hours or days, depending on the type of tick.

On dogs, ticks often attach themselves in crevices and/or areas with little or no hair – typically in and around the ears, the areas where the insides of the legs meet the body, between the toes and within skin folds. Most species of ticks go through four life stages eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults. All stages beyond eggs will attach to a host for a blood meal (and must do so in order to mature). Depending on species, the life span of a tick can be several months to years, and female adults can lay hundreds to thousands of eggs at a time.

The Dangers of Ticks Though they are known vectors of disease, not all ticks transmit disease – in fact, many ticks do not even carry diseases. However, the threat of disease is always present where ticks are concerned, and these risks should always be taken seriously. Most tick-borne diseases will take several hours to transmit to a host, so the sooner a tick is located and removed, the lower the risk of disease. The symptoms of most tick-borne diseases include fever and lethargy, though some can also cause weakness, lameness, joint swelling and/or anaemia.

Signs may take days, weeks or months to appear. Some ticks can cause a temporary condition called “tick paralysis,” which is manifested by a gradual onset of difficulty in walking which may develop into paralysis.

These signs typically begin to resolve after the tick is removed. If you notice these or any other signs of illness in your dog, contact your veterinarian as soon as possible so that proper test-

ing and necessary treatments can begin. The following are some of the most common tickborne diseases: Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis.

You should check your dog for ticks after coming in from the outdoors, especially if he has been in a long grass area.

Ticks should be safely removed and dogs watched for signs of tick-borne illnesses.

All dogs should be treated with some form of tick prevention.

Three Cautionary Tales Following on from last month about how people try to cheat us all. Senario two A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card.

The bill for the meal came, he signed it and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along.

Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket.

Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person.

He called the waitress and she looked perplexed.

She took it back, apologised, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.

All the waitress did while walking to the counter

was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card.

No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology.

Verdict: Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.

Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time. better still accompany it.

Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs.

Develop the habit of checking your credit card each time it is returned to you after a transaction.

Keep your eyes peeled for senario three next month

New Mum In Town - It’s Peppa Time So, it's August and España is crazy busy and crazy hot. Baby girl and I escaped the chaos and went to the UK! What a difference...rain! I had forgotten about that, and cloud with patchy sun -- strangely enough, though, I loved it and very much enjoyed the break from the intense heat. Going out without the shiny, sweaty look was also a bonus.

Jazmin was abs o l u t e l y awesome...she was perfect on the plane, and she was perfect at the B&B. She was eating well, sharing, talking more English and (wait for it) sleeping through!

YES!! She was the centre of attention at the B&B (surprise surprise), and didn't half revel in it haha! There was another little baby staying at the B&B but Jazmin adored him. Her favourite game was to say hello/bye bye to all the guests and hand them all a tourist leaflet - just in case they were stuck for ideas on what to do. The number one leaflet was Paultons Park/Peppa Pig theme park.UK exclusive!

It was non-stop. We went dog walking (Jazmin and Rusty the Labrador, my friend's pooch, became besties); park playing, friend-making, family visiting, duck feeding, laughing and generally taking each day as it came -- very unlike me. However, we did make a special effort to visit Miss Peppa Pig at Peppa Pig world. We went with Jazmin's little cousin who is the same age...

WOWSERS! And that was just Mummy's reaction. The look on the babies’ faces when they realised where they were was priceless...que emocional; what excitement. I don't think baby girl could quite believe it. It was worth every penny. Just like Christmas Day. We had a brilliant day and even met Peppa and George in person! The sun was out too, so we got to splash around in the pool and Miss J got to show off her new Peppa swimming costume.

The place is just like the cartoon -- excellent. I thoroughly recommend this if your little kiddies

love Peppa Pig; it's a must.

England was Peppa mad, but Jazmin also developed a love for In the Nightgarden...I am now an expert. Funny how motherhood really does change everything. I used to listen to soul/r&b, but now my IPod is full of children's top 100 nursery rhymes. I used to read novels; now I read baby peek-a-boo books....but this is what I wouldn't change for anything in the world. Just amazing, and I can't believe that she is 19 months!

Seeing my little girl so so happy and bubbly just melts my heart. Her big cheeky grin makes everything worthwhile, and the sleepless nights are forgotten...almost.

Adios ‘til next month!

Although only four feet high, the pineapple plant grows a powerful fruit. This tropical plant, native to South America but now found in warm places around the world, contains a special enzyme which is claimed to have many health benefits. Pineapple is a special piece of the puzzle in putting together your ideal whole foods, plant-based diet.

Bromelain is an enzyme which distinguishes pineapples from all other fruits. This enzyme, which your body can absorb intact, has unique and powerful effects to support your health. To reap the advantages of bromelain, be sure to eat pineapple raw. Cooking or canning destroys this enzyme. An electric knife makes cutting whole pineapple a breeze, or you can buy fresh fruit that is already cut into chunks.

For more bromelain, eat the whole pineapple (minus the skin and leaves). The tougher circle of cells at the centre of these fruits (which is actually the central stalk or stem) has more concentrated bromelain than the surrounding tender fruit has.

Bromelain is well-known for its ability to prevent and speed the healing of bruises. These black and blue marks occur when small blood vessels (called capillaries) in your skin are ruptured and blood pools in the tissue under the skin’s surface. Some cosmetic surgeons even recommend this enzyme to reduce bruising after cosmetic procedures. Bromelain inhibits the formation of the blood clots that can block blood circulation.

Bromelain has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects which counter a range of chronic diseases and infections.

Bromelain has been used to reduce inflammation in arthritis, sinusitis, inflammatory bowel disease, sports injuries, trauma, burns, prostatitis, and swelling after surgery. This enzyme may aid in reducing the effects of toxic organisms in your intestines as well as help antibiotics to work more effectively when you need

to take them.

Bromelain works to destroy cancer cells. In fact,bromelain is already used by some clinicians as part of the chemotherapy process. A 2011 study in the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Carcinogenesis found that bromelain was effective in suppressing the growth of two kinds of human cancer cells, including melanoma cells. A 2010 study in the journal BioFactors showed that bromelain delayed growth and eventually induced the death of human breast cancer cells.

Pineapple is brimming with nutrients in addition to bromelin. This whole food is dense with fibre, vitamin C and phytochemicals -- beneficial nutrients found only in plants. These antioxidants fight the free radicals that can damage your cells and cause disease.

It is also very effective for problems related to kidneys and also urinary problems. Pineapple is a cure for the disease eczema. If pineapple juice is poured on the rash then it will relieve itching and reduce the thickness of eczema. It is also a good cure for restlessness and fatigue.

Helping Axarquia The Spanish tax authority is currently implementing a campaign throughout Spain against all pensioners who receive a pension from a foreign country - OECD countries.

Notifications have been served by the Spanish Tax Office demanding the payment of taxes on foreign pensions which have not been declared for Spanish income tax purposes. Furthermore, these taxpayers will also be faced with a corresponding tax penalty.

In general terms, Spanish law on income tax states that if an individual is a fiscal resident in Spain, he or she should declare any income received from any part of the world. However, there are exceptions to this and they are regulated by agreements in order to avoid international double taxation.

In Spain, taxpayers are liable for income tax payment when their income earned from personal work (salary and pension) exceeds 22,000 euros per year gross, when paid by a

single employer, institution or company. This threshold is reduced to 11,200 euros when the income comes from more than source, or if it does come from a single source but no tax has been withheld.

Therefore, the threshold for payment of tax on foreign pensions is fixed at 11,200 euros, although Government pensions are exempt from these regulations.

The information provided in this article is not intended to be legal advice, but merely conveys general information related to legal issues.

Sedella

At 689 metres above sea level we discover Sedella, so named, according to the town hall website, because Queen Isabella when told of the fight between Christians and Muslims at an area known as Arroyo de la Matanza said, Sé de ella (I know about her) At such an altitude you can be sure of magnificent views and in fact on clear days you can even see the Atlas Mountains! Closer to home are the mountains of Bentomiz and the Sierra Tejeda.

To get to Sedella the best route by car is either via Canillas de Aceituno or from the autovia turn off at Algarrobo and drive inland past Sayalonga, turn left for Archez, drive over the bridge and then turn right following signs for Salares and Sedella. Having arrived at Sedella, continue driving as if going on to Canillas de Aceituno and park the car where you can by the last entrance to the village, one

AS2728

of the first places of interest is the public laundry or wash house situated between three green trimmed arches, which be-fore the invention of washing machines was in constant use by the towns women. Onwards and upwards to the main square and the most unique building in town, the Casa del Torreón or Tower House, Mudéjar in origin and the former home of the Mayor of Donceles, Lord of Sedella, it was built in the 16th century in the Mudéjar style over a quadrangular floor plan. The tower has twin arches on Renaissance columns with a beam supported hip roof. Majestically sitting at highest point in the village up a flight of 12 steps is the church of San Andrés with its square two part tower and octagonal belfry, the only vestige of the original 16th century building. If the climb up has made you thirsty you can take a libation in the Bar just below the church.

Like many Axarquía villages Sedella suffered in the earthquake of 1884 but luckily for the inhabitants only the buildings were damaged and there was no loss of life.

My friend once told me a beautiful story to illustrate the fact that we are not the doers.

A friend of hers who studied Siddha Yoga was a hat-maker. She had a shop full of the most extravagant and gorgeous hats, however she rarely sold one and she was having difficulty paying the bills. Feeling frustrated and armed with the wisdom that her current mindset wouldn’t get her anywhere, she decided to spend some time away from her hat business and redirect her attention inside. She flew to India and spent a week at an ashram, meditating, chanting, getting out of her head and into her heart space. After the week was up she felt much better, completely free of any thoughts of frustration concerning her hat business. As she got on the plane back to London, she sat down and moments later a middle aged lady sat next to her. They smiled at each other and introduced themselves. “What do you do?” the hatmaker asked. The lady looked her in the eyes and said, “I sell hats. How about you?” And so the relationship formed and from that day on, through her new connection, the hat-maker sold hundreds of hats and made a very good living.

If you think back, you’ll probably find similar examples in your own life. For me, when I got outside of my head concerning The Light and went to visit a friend in the UK who I hadn’t seen for three years, I received two emails inviting me to come and speak at different events. I didn’t realise how much power these invitations held at that time, however, I now see that it was God’s way of pointing me in the right direction for The Light and future Light books.

The Queen has 30 godchildren.

The Queen's robes were so heavy that at the start of her Coronation, she asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to give her a push, saying “Get me started!”.

Unlikely candidates who have met the Queen include Tracy Emin; Lady Gaga at Royal Variety Performance in 2009 (Lady G is said to keep a pic of The Queen on her dressing table when she’s on the road); Barbara Windsor and co when she visited the set of EastEnders;

shot-put champion Geoff Capes (at the 1982 Braemar Highland Games) and Blue Peter presenter John Noakes.

She enjoys reading The Racing Post every day.

The Queen has sent around 100,000 congratulatory telegrams to centenarians in the UK and the Commonwealth. She also sends a telegram to couples celebrating their diamond (60 years) wedding anniversary – so far, she has sent more than 280,000.

The Queen has two birthdays. Her real one is on 21 April and this is always a private celebration. Her public birthday is celebrated in June with the Trooping of the Colour.

The Queen has opened Parliament every year during her reign except 1959 and 1963, when she was expecting Prince Andrew and Prince Edward respectively.

The Queen’s favourite pets are her corgis.

She has owned more than 30 during her reign, starting with Susan who was a present for her 18th birthday in 1944.

When The Queen acceded to the throne in 1952, sugar, eggs, cheese and meat were still rationed.

She is a patron of more than 600 charities and organisations.

In her reign, the Queen has answered some three million items of correspondence.

She has given around 90,000 Christmas puddings to staff.

Unusual live gifts given to the Queen on royal tours include two tortoises and a seven-yearold bull elephant.

They can breathe through their moist skin, and hop and skip across mud that most people would slip and fall on.

Like all other fishes, mudskippers breathe mainly through gills. Just the way scuba divers use air tanks to breathe underwater, mudskippers have specialised gill chambers in which they carry air. This allows them to breathe

even when they are on land.

Mudskippers raise the fins on their backs to communicate with each other.

Mudskippers and gobies belong to one of the largest families of fishes, the Gobiidae. These fishes are small and can move quickly.

The largest specie, the giant mudskipper, is about 11 inches long.

They can flip their muscular body to catapult themselves up to 2 feet (60 cm) into the air.

A mudskipper’s skin is brown and blotchy, helping it to be very well camouflaged.

There are more than 2000 known species of gobies and mudskippers but scientists understand there to be almost as many more that have yet to be discovered.

Mudskippers are quite active when out of water, feeding and interacting with one another, for example to defend their territories.

Los Romanes Swimming Pool Written by Heather L Sheldon, from Sheffield, UK On my recent annual summer holiday to my parents’ house at La Vinuela, we stumbled across a fantastic doorstep find – an enormous swimming pool and babypool in the neighbouring village of Los Romanes.

Temporarily closed in 2010 whilst work was carried out to redirect an overhanging electrical line, the new facility has recently re-opened with little ─ if any ─ advertising. The facility is known presently through word-of-mouth.

The swimming pool is open throughout July to September, daily from 12 - 7pm. We noticed the pool does not get busy until 4pm on most days, so until then, we had our own private pools! There is a life guard in attendance at all times.

Residents of La Vinuela and their guests are able to purchase discounted tickets from the town hall. Otherwise, tickets for adults are 3 euros and children over three years of age are 2 euros. Tickets can be purchased from the lifeguard.

Los Romanes pool offers swimming lessons, a kiosk to purchase ice creams and drinks (although this did not seem to open until late afternoon), changing facilities, showers and toilets, but no shade or sun loungers. Limited parking is available at the front of the pool.

After speaking with Moses from the La Vinuela town hall, he assures me full details about the pool will shortly appear on the town website: www.lavinuela.es/es or he can be contacted by telephone: 952 519 002. The pool is under no threat of closure, he confirmed, but he acknowledged more advertising needs to be done to highlight this fantastic ─ yet inexpensive ─ facility.

) : a h a h s e k o J The middle-aged couple had finally learned how to send and receive texts on their mobile phones. The wife, being a romantic at heart, decided one day that she'd send her husband a text while she was out of the house having coffee with a friend.

She texted: If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile.

If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you.

The husband, being a no-nonsense sort of guy, texted back: I'm on the toilet. Please advise.

---------------------------------------------------------------Luigi walks to work 20 blocks everyday and passes a shoe store twice every day. Each day he stops and looks in the window to admire the Armani leather shoes.

He wants those shoes so much...it's all he can think about.

After about 2 months he saves the price of the shoes, $300, and purchases them.

Every Friday night the Italian community holds a dance in the church basement. Luigi seizes this opportunity to wear his new Armani leather shoes for the first time.

He asks Sophia to dance and as they dance he asks her, 'Sophia, do you wear red panties tonight?'

Startled, Sophia replies, 'Yes, Luigi, I do wear red panties tonight, but how do you know?'

Luigi answers, 'I see the reflection in my new $300 Armani leather shoes. How do you like them?'

Next he asks Rosa to dance, and after a few minutes he asks, 'Rosa, do you wear white panties tonight?'

Rosa answers, 'Yes, Luigi, I do, but how do you know that?'

He replies, 'I see the reflection in my new $300 Armani leather shoes... How do you like them?'

Now as the evening is almost over and the last song is being played, Luigi asks Carmela to dance. Midway through the dance his face turns red...He states, 'Carmela, be stilla my heart.

Please, please tell me you wear no panties

tonight. Please, please, tella me this true!'

Carmela smiles coyly and answers, 'Yes Luigi, I wear no panties tonight...'

Luigi gasps, 'Thanka God. I thought I had a crack in my $300 Armani leather shoes!

---------------------------------------------------------------After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi, sweetheart. It's Eric. I'm on the train".

"Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting".

"No, honey, not with that blonde from the accounts office. It was with the boss".

"No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life".

"Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart" Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly.

When the young woman sitting next to him had enoughshe leaned over and said into the phone, "Eric, hang up the phone and come back to bed."

Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer...

---------------------------------------------------------------A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.

His father said he'd make a deal with his son: 'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible, and get your hair cut.

Then we'll talk about the car.'

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.

The boy said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.'

'Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?'

Jokes h a h a :) Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation.

They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.

The next morning they went to the beachdressed in their 'tourist' garb. They were sitting on beach chairs,enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a 'drop dead gorgeous' blonde in a topless bikini came walking straight towards them.. They couldn't help but stare.

As the blonde passed them she smiled and said 'Good Morning, Father ~ Good Morning, Father,' nodding and addressing each of them individually, then she passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests?

So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them!

Once again, in their new attire, they settled down in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a little while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing a different coloured topless bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she nodded at each of them, said 'Good morning, Father ~ Good morning, Father,' and started to walk away.

One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, 'Just a minute, young lady.'

'Yes, Father?'

'We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world do you know we are priests, dressed as we are?'

She replied, 'Father, it's me, Sister Kathleen.

---------------------------------------------------------------A man got on a bus with both of his front trouser pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful (you guessed it) blonde. The puzzled blonde kept looking at him and his bulging pockets.

Finally, after many glances from her, he said, "It's golf balls."

The blonde continued to look at him for a very long time, thinking deeply about what he had

said. After several minutes, not being able to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked, "Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?"

---------------------------------------------------------------"Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-yearold man. "You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time you stand there nothing comes out."

"Ah, that's nothin," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you don't have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!"

"Actually," said the 80-year -old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."

"Do you have trouble peeing, too?" asked the 60-year old.

"No, I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse; no problem at all."

"So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?"

"No, I have one every morning at 6:30."

Exasperated, the 60-year-old said, "You pee every morning at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what's so bad about being 80?"

"I don't wake up until 7:00."

Saint Stevie the Scouse section At the end of a tiny deserted bar is a huge scouse bloke - 6ft 5in tall and 350lbs. He's having a few beers when a short, well dressed and obviously gay man walks in and sits beside him. After 3 or 4 beers, the gay fella finally plucks up the courage to say something to the big Liverpudlian.

Leaning over, he cups his huge ear: "Do you want a b**w job?" he whispers. At this, the massive Merseysider leaps up with fire in his eyes and smacks the man in the face. Knocking him off the stool, he proceeds to beat him all the way out of the bar. Finally he leaves him, badly bruised, in the car park and returns to his seat as if nothing had happened.

Amazed the bartender quickly brings over another beer. "I've never seen you react like that" he says.

"Just what did he say to you?"

"I'm not sure" the big scouser replies.

"Something about a job."

s e p o c s Horo

by Juanita Banana of www.AbsoluteAxarquia.com ARIES: March 21-April 20 September is an excellent time for Arians, especially in relationships and romance, although care should be taken in prospective economic partnerships. If you loan money this month beware that it may not be repaid! Best to deal with health, particularly ear, problems immediately.

TAURUS: April 21-May 21 Although the height of the summer is drawing to a close, Taureans need to be extra mindful of skin/sun related issues this month so please beware and be careful of over exposure to the sun. In addition think twice before spending unnecessarily.

GEMINI: May 22-June 21 Geminiis should take things slowly during September and exercise prudence most especially in dealings with finance and gossip.

CANCER: June 22-July 22 A time of reflection for Cancerians. Past grudges should remain historic while remembering the positive and forgetting the negative and not so good. There are opportunities for promotion and changes within your working sphere.

LEO: July 23-August 23 Be prepared for someone special to declare their feelings this month and be sure your responses are genuine. September is also a good time to realise, and introduce, a project you have been working on.

VIRGO: August 24-September 22 A passionate and intense month for Virgoans, so a time to add responsibility to the mix! Think about your real wishes and ambitions and let the universe show you the way.

LIBRA: September 23 - October 22 Whether in a relationship or living solo, September is an harmonious time for Librans with interesting opportunities. A female family member will come up trumps with ideas and funding for projects.

SCORPIO: October 23 - November 21 A good time to act on phone calls and emails that may lead to work challenges and unexpected positive opportunities and outcome. Don´t spend all month working and planning – time out is necessary for your mental and physical wellbeing.

SAGITTARIUS: November 22 December 21 Try to relax and concentrate on just one thing at a time or stress will overwhelm and mask some great results. But some lavender oil and go out and have fun!

CAPRICORN: December 22 January 20 Exciting times as the end of one cycle arrives and the start of another begins for lucky Capricorns. You´ll need quality sleep and nourishment to replenish energy and keep up!

AQUARIUS: January 21-February 19 Unresolved and unnecessary jealousies can threaten your relationships this month. Neither is this a good month to begin a relationship, whether personal or at work.

PISCES: February 20-March 20 Especially as regards finances, take the advice of a close family member to avoid losses in September, and well aspected business prospects and proposals will arise and be maintained.
