PLEASE MENTION ICE CLUB & MAGAZINE WHEN CONTACTING ADVERTISERS. Editorial: It’s getting a little cooler and we can look forward to all the terrorists (sorry tourists) going home soon. September sees most of the ICE activities being re-started and hopefully many of our members returning. Some of our recent Thursday meetings have seen very low numbers (I was going to say they've been quiet, but that’s not true). So it’s getting back to normal. A new Item in this magazine is MEMBERS’ NOTICES, where you can place items you’d like to tell all the members about. Just send me a brief email, call me or ask me when you see me at the Thursday meeting. Please continue to send me anything you would like to include in the magazine and I’ll try to accommodate it. Sheila Fox - Magazine Editor Email:safoxuk@gmail.com Telephone: 951 890 51 Mobile: 671 232 906 MEMBERS’ NOTICES HELP! Can anyone help me? I have a Bosch food processor which no longer works. It’s not very old and not used much. I have the feeling it may be some security feature which has switched off. I’m sure it is just a simple thing for some handy person. Myriam Tel: 628251701

President’s Letter Our normally quiet towns have been busier than usual
this summer making any car journey a chore and forget trying to park anywhere close that you want to be. Inland our friends who own a bar in Estación de Jimera de Líbar have reported heavy rain, people couldn't leave their bar. I expect Paul was rubbing his hands in glee. Oh what we would give to have a bit of rain. On a sad note there have been many fires in particular the one at Princess Kristina. Many of our members were affected having to stay the night in cars or bars; how terrible that at the moment the Police think it was arson. We have a treasure in Wilma as our welfare officer, she goes above and beyond of what is expected of her. Please remember though, that if you want her to make a phone call for you to let her use your phone or reimburse her for the call. Also, she is to be contacted only up to 19.00 hours. After this time I'm afraid she is not available as she does have a life outside of the Club. This month all the usual events re-commence, check the calendar for more information. Thursday lunches commence on 6th September. Being September it means that the first big event is the Welcome Back Party. Brenda and her team will be producing a 3 course meal, main course being a cold meat or fish salad buffet. Dancing will be to Rockin’ Johnny If you want to help celebrate Keith and Cheryth's 70th and attend their birthday party please remember to put your name down on the list. The trip this month is our usual lake trip where you can indulge in a swim or a leisurely stroll through the village. Coffee stop includes bacon butties. Forthcoming event is of course the ICE 30th birthday party on 3rd November at Monasterio Finca. There will be a coach or you can stay the night at the hotel. Quite a few of us have already booked. More details in this magazine. Hope to see you at some of the events. Sue Potter -- President.

PAST EVENTS I.C.E. TRIP TO BOLONIA/BAELO CLAUDIA 1ST AUGUST 2018 On this occasion, Wilma Keeley stood in for Joan Thompson to lead the group for a day's outing to the SouthWest Coast of Spain. Thank you, Wilma! Some 30 souls signed up for this trip which included a visit to the superb Roman Ruined City of Baelo Claudia. It is at the northern end of the Playa de Bolonia which boasts the highest dune in Europe and are walking distance from each other. All render spectacular views and sights. The ruins warrant more than one visit. The city had been a most important trade centre for fish salting and the production of a very precious highly sought after condiment – GARUM. This sauce/paste is made from specially selected parts of the innards of sturgeon and tuna. One can obtain this condiment from special delicatessen shops and online via Amazon.es. I have some..yum. These ruins have been uncovered, nurtured and are being discovered and treated with TLC still. The museum building is well laid out, holds very informative displays and is easy for viewing the exhibits. It is a tribute to the authorities responsible for this work. The Atlantic seaside town of Bolonia is served by many restaurants and chiringuitos which during the months of July and August are very populated. Parking is subject to a fee at these times. The beach is easily accessible as noted by the numbers of visitors with umbrellas, kitesurfers, surf boards, and other paraphernalia for the water activities. We have visited at times when vacations are not being taken and those were much more agreeable for comfort and tranquillity. Because of these experiences in the quieter months, we shall visit during those times. Also, remember, the heat is much greater and the Sun is fierce. Therefore, always have sunscreen and water on hand – very important. You should have a good day there! Submitted by Michael Dowling

Garden Club GARDEN CLUB: Tuesday July 10th I am more than happy to say I was able to hold the Garden Club meeting at Wilma's on two legs..............goodbye wheelchair and crutches!! I will NOT miss you. It was a very good meeting in the sun, with a cooling breeze on Wilma's beautiful terrace with more than enough food and drink..............We had more than the usual amount of members, they obviously knew all about Wilma's hospitality!! I greeted everyone and welcomed new members asking for their names and email addresses to add to the list. This year we have had some wonderful locations for our meetings - the first being Agrojardín, the second at the Orchid House in Estepona, the third the Botanical Gardens in Malaga, the 4th on Ken Holloway's impressive terraces in Estepona and now on Wilma's beautiful terrace in Manilva. It was decided to cancel Tuesday August 14th meeting as it is too hot but suggestions were discussed for September and October. One of the members has a large villa and offered her place for the next meeting. I will give details nearer the time. It was thought it might be a good idea to have a Garden Club meeting next year at the Paloma park in Benalmádena and offer the trip to all the ICE members. We could spend the morning at the park and an afternoon at Benalmádena Port for shopping/lunch etc. Sandy to liaise with Sue Potter. Suggestions were put forward - to help shade plants from intense heat - buy some children’s umbrellas from the Chinese supermarkets, remove the handles and place over the plants. To get rid of cockroaches and ants, scatter dried or fresh bay leaves..- or just salt for ants. One member suggested garlic bulbs (peeled) to rid geraniums of the horrible black disease. Sandy brought along lots of cuttings, as did Keith and Helen, and these were soon distributed to interested members. Goodbye to two members who have moved back to the UK - Tracy Bird and Dorothy Horsey. The next Garden Club meeting will be held on Tuesday 11th September at 11.30am at a member's villa - details nearer the time from Sandy. Interesting......Did you know the clematis is a member of the buttercup family? Clematis can live for 25 years. It is a vigorous climber and can reach up to 30 feet! Submitted by Sandy Avis

MEMBER’S ARTICLE THE STORY OF FLAX - PART I If you think that your best bedlinen is made of 100% Egyptian cotton, think again. The best quality linen is made of – yes, linen. So, what’s linen? Linen is one of the end products of the processing of flax or Linus usitatissimum. The plant seed is sown in countries having relatively cool damp climates in March, and harvested in July, their white, pink or purple flowers lasting only a day. Harvesting requires the whole plant to be torn up, roots and all. The crop is left out on the fields to allow the rain, the dew and the sunshine to take it through its retting stage, where the fibres break away from the tough core. It is dried and turned in the sun, and finally baled and transported to the processing mills for scutching (rolling to crush the coarse stems) and heckling (very rigorous combing) when short fibres are separated from the long finer fibres as they are removed from the coarse inner stems. The woody stems and fibres and seeds are removed for use elsewhere, leaving the finer fibres ready for spinning and running onto spindles suitable for the weaving mills. While cotton goes through the same basic processes, those for flax are more labour-intensive, lengthy and therefore, expensive. Linen has been acknowledged throughout history as the finest natural fabric for what we often refer to as linenware – bedsheets, pillow-cases, table-cloths and napkins, towels, suits, shirts and blouses, and handkerchiefs. In the King James Bible, there are references to linen in Deuteronomy 22:11 and Leviticus 19:19 where it is forbidden to use it with other fabrics, and kept pure for priestly use, in most translations of Proverbs 31:22 where a noble lady uses linen for her bedsheets, and in Revelations 15:6 where angels wear fine white linen. The mummified remains of Rameses II, the Egyptian pharaoh, was wrapped in linen in the year 1213 BCE to display wealth, and was found to be in good condition when unwrapped in 1881. The Phoenicians favoured linen dyed purple for their leaders, and instigated the cultivation of flax and the making of linen in Ireland in the last century BCE. In fact, Belfast became the most famous centre of linen in history, producing during Victorian times, the majority of linen in the world. In more recent times, the City of Beilefeld in Germany, printed banknotes on linen in 1923. Many countries, including the USA, use paper reinforced with 25% linen fibre, making it strong and crisp. But there’s more to linen than just fabrics, fads and fancies. In ancient Egypt, linen had its own ideogram and written as li-no, while the female weavers were written as li-ne-ya. Our language has derived several words from it. Flax was known as linum from the Latin name in early English, and the word line derives from the linen thread used to mark a straight line in various trades. In the clothing industry we have the lining of a woollen or leather suit being made of linen, and lingerie comes from the use made in France of fine linen for undergarments. Linseed oil obviously comes from linum and linóleum comes from the oil (see Part II of this article). Linen remains the fabric of choice for good reason. It feels cool to the touch, is smooth and lint-free, and gets softer as it is washed. However, the fibres tend to break when pressed repeatedly, so that collars, hems and creases eventually show wear. The fibres lack elasticity and do not easily spring back into shape, demonstrated by a fine linen suit becoming crumpled, and needing pressing. Elsewhere, linen is used by bakers to hold dough in shape as it rises, artists use linen as the traditional fabric for oil paintings, while linen is the preferred handgrip or wrap, on snooker cues because it absorbs sweat so well. Useful stuff, and we’ll see more uses in another article coming soon! Submitted by Geoff Morgan I like to hang out with people who make me forget to look at my phone

Petanca is a form of boules where the goal is to toss or roll hollow steel balls as close as possible to a
small wooden ball called a cochonnet (literally "piglet") or jack, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel. It can be played in public areas in parks, or in dedicated facilities called boulodromes.

George Carlin’s Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than 10 years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions. ‘How old are you?’ I’m four and a half!’ You’re never thirty-six and a half. You’re four and a half, going on five. That’s the key. You get into your teens, now they can’t hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. ‘How old are you?’ ‘I’m gonna be 16. You could be 13, but hey, you’re gonna be16. And then the greatest day of your life…you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. You become 21. Yessss! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There’s no fun now, you’re just a sour-dumpling. What’s wrong? What’s changed? You become 21, you turn 30, then you’re pushing 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it’s all slipping away. Before you know it, you reach 50, and your dreams are gone. But! wait! You make it to 60 You didn’t think you would! So you become 21, turn 30; push 40, reach 50, and make it to 60. You’ve built up so much speed that you hit 70. After that, it’s a day-byday thing; you hit Wednesday. You get into your 80’s, and every day is a complete cycle; you hit lunch; you turn 4:30; you reach bedtime. And it doesn’t end there. Into the 90s, you start going backward; I was just 92. was an American Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a stand-up comedian, actor, little kid again. I’m 100 and a half. author, and social critic. May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half! Submitted by Terry Smith

MEMBER’S ARTICLE How to sleep better and live longer - just by re-setting your body clock! - Part ll DIGESTION CLOCK AND STAYING SLIM When do you eat during the day? In one study we asked people to record every meal, snack and drink that they had and found that 50 per cent ate for 15 hours or more every day. That means they ate during almost all their waking hours. But your digestive system is not designed to be working continually. Eating or snacking at random times — particularly at night — means the body’s fat-making process stays on 24/7. At the same time glucose created from digested carbohydrates floods our blood and the liver becomes inefficient in its ability to absorb glucose. If this continues, blood glucose continues to rise and reaches the danger zone of pre-diabetes or diabetes. Step away from the fridge: Simply by establishing a 12‑hour eating window — i.e. consuming all food and drinks (apart from water) within 12 hours and finishing two to four hours before you go to bed — will reap significant benefits. Reducing your eating window ensures your body has time to digest the food (this can take two to five hours) and, overnight, utilise those ‘fasting’ hours to get on with all its important night time jobs, such as repairing cells in the body. Another bonus is that most of your body’s fat-burning happens six to eight hours after finishing your last meal and increases almost exponentially after a full 12 hours of fasting, making any amount of time fasting past 12 hours highly beneficial for weight loss. Ignoring this has repercussions. Firstly indigestion; gut motility is less active at night so any food moves slowly down the tract. Eating late can also affect sleep — both nodding off and maintaining deep sleep. In order to fall asleep, our core body temperature must cool down by almost one-degree Fahrenheit. But when we eat, our core body temperature goes up, as blood rushes to the gut to help digest and absorb nutrients. This raises our body temperature and makes it harder to drift off. TRY THIS: Eat breakfast as early as possible, as the pancreas is primed to produce more insulin (which mops up glucose to store in our muscles and liver) in the first half the day and less so late at night. Get into an eating routine and stick to it. Set meal times mean your body will be primed for a rush of food. The pancreas will be ready to secrete insulin, the muscles will be ready to soak up sugar and the liver will be ready to store it. PRIME YOUR MUSCLE CLOCK Anyone who does a lot of physical activity during the day knows it is relatively easy to fall asleep at night. Studies show that after exercise, the cells inside our muscles produce several molecules including interleukin-15, which, along with increasing bone mass, makes you sleep. Many of our muscles work without us even knowing it. These include the cardiac muscles of the heart and the smooth muscles of our digestive tract. Yet even these muscles have a circadian rhythm: they are more efficient during the day. Our cartilage and bones also have their own circadian clocks, which set a rhythm for repairing these tissues in the afternoon. In Part III (next edition) I show you how to re-calibrate your body clock.

MEMBER’S ARTICLE Back In Time - 50 Years Ago - September 1968- Remember These 8 September – British tennis player Virginia Wade wins the 1968 U.S. Open Women's Singles event. 15 September – floods caused by a pronounced trough of low pressure which brought exceptionally heavy rain and thunderstorms to South East England and France in mid-September 1968, with the worst on Sunday 15 September, and followed earlier floods in South West England during July. This was likely the severest inland flood experienced in the Home Counties during the past 100 years. The areas worst hit were Crawley, East Grinstead, Horley, Lewisham, Petersfield, Hampshire, Redhill, Tilbury, Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge. 16 September – General Post Office divides post into first-class and second-class services. 17 September – The D'Oliveira affair: The Marylebone Cricket Club tour of South Africa is cancelled when the South Africans refuse to accept the presence of Basil D'Oliveira, a Cape Coloured, in the side. 20 September – Hawaii Five-O debuts on CBS, and eventually becomes the longest-running crime show in television history, until Law & Order overtakes it in 2003. 26 September – Theatres Act 1968 ends censorship of the theatre having received royal assent and passed by both houses of parliament. 27 September – the US rock musical Hair opens in London following the removal of theatre censorship. 30 September – Boeing introduces its largest passenger aircraft up to that time, the Boeing 747 at a public event at Paine Field, near Everett, Washington. Submitted by Terry Smith ON OUR TRAVELS AGAIN submitted by Pat and Terry Smith This time we decided on a return trip to Almuñécar, a venue we really enjoyed last year, although on this occasion our visit was during mid July and the resort was, as expected, more busy but did not seem overcrowded like many resorts along the coast. The resort is popular with Spanish and North European visitors so we heard very few British holiday makers. On our last visit, although its restaurant was excellent, we were less than impressed with the rest of the hotel so we thought we would give a chance to a different venue. We chose the Arrayanes Playa Hotel (http://www.arrayanesplaya.com/en/) a very friendly family run small hotel. We chose a sea view room with balcony and had uninterrupted views across the bay, a good choice as non sea view rooms look out on very close cliff face. The hotel is situated on the paseo and beach, and just a short walk into the town. The hotel’s garden restaurant is a gem for the cooling evenings, excellent menu at reasonable prices and the paella was one of the best we have tasted for a long time at just 12€ each. Pat found the 5€ cocktails great value, I had a taste and they were very strong and not overloaded with ice. The resort was set up for the holiday season, two stages being set up in the Botanical Gardens for a variety of live evening concerts, entry to the events by voluntary donation, a great idea, why do they not do this for the Estepona Sunday band concerts? I am sure this would be good for the bands future funds. We choose Almuñécar as we like flat paseo walking and Almuñécar certainly fits the bill, paseo stretching approximately 15km from Cotobro to Playa del Tesorillo, passing through Almuñécar and also passing the very large Aquatropic Water Park and onto the marina. And of course plenty of watering holes en route. 25

How to best navigate your UK pension options in Spain By Javid Rustam, Associate Partner, Blevins Franks Time is running out to review your pension options before Brexit potentially changes the landscape for expatriates – but take care. Pensions are often the key to a secure retirement, so getting it wrong can be disastrous. Make sure you do what is right for you with quality pensions advice. First, only use a pension adviser who is regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – they must meet certain standards and act in your best interests. Regulated advice is compulsory before transferring ‘final-salary’ pensions worth £30,000+, but recommended for anyone reviewing their pension arrangements. An online search of a provider’s name plus ‘FCA’ should link to their record in the Financial Services Register. Make sure you explore all the available opportunities. Many expatriates who transfer UK pension funds to a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS) enjoy benefits such as currency flexibility for withdrawals and more freedom to pass benefits to chosen heirs. However, a QROPS is not always the most tax-efficient option and will not suit everyone. With expert planning, pension funds can potentially be restructured in arrangements that provide additional tax benefits for Spanish residents. The Spanish tax treatment of pensions differs to the UK and is highly complex. Your advice should be personalised for you, taking into account all cross-border tax implications. Many advisers claim understanding of Spanish taxation, but may not have the expertise to navigate Spanish succession, wealth and income tax for expatriates. This can lead to a higher tax bill than necessary, for you and your heirs. Crucially, also beware of pension scams and offers of unusually high returns. Be extremely cautious of advice from a company that has cold-called you, and never sign anything under pressure. Check the provider’s credentials, including their cross-border experience and understanding of Spanish taxation, to avoid the risk of tax penalties or even losing everything to fraud. Remember: with unregulated companies there is no recourse if things go wrong. Look for consumer reviews, particularly word-of-mouth recommendations from people you trust, for reassurance that a business is doing things the right way. Also ask around your local community and follow up any references. Be mindful, however, that other peoples’ situations might be quite different to yours – what works for them may not necessarily work for you. Ultimately, pensions should form just part of your overall financial plan. Your adviser should look at your pensions in the context of your unique circumstances and wider situation – including residency, your other assets, tax and estate planning – to establish the most suitable strategy for you and your family. With some current opportunities not expected to survive post-Brexit, there may be limited time to take advantage of today’s freedoms. While you should not rush into any decisions, review your pension options without delay to make sure you are in the best position to enjoy your retirement in Spain. Summarised tax information is based upon our understanding of current laws and practices which may change. Individuals should seek personalised advice.

SMILES A stark naked woman who was very drunk, jumped into a vacant taxi at a London cab rank. The Indian driver was immediately beside himself and just kept on staring at the woman. He made no attempt to start the cab. "What's wrong with you Luv? Haven't you ever seen a naked white woman before?" "I’ll not be staring at you lady. l am telling you that would not be proper where I am coming from" "Well if you’re not bloody staring at me Luvvie, what are you doing then?" Well, I am telling you, I am thinking to myself, where is this lady keeping the money to be paying me with?"
Morris is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker, Joe, is wearing an earring. This man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in fashion sense. Morris yells out, "Hey Joe! I didn't know you were into earrings." Joe sheepishly replies. "Don't make such a big deal out of it...its only an earring." Morris continues to probe. "NO really. How long have you been wearing one?" Joe answers. "Ever since my wife, Becky found it in our bed."

The Calvorton Echo. October 2001 A young couple about to be married were looking at a house in the country. After satisfying themselves that it was suitable, they made their way home. During the journey the young lady was very thoughtful and, when asked the reason said, "Did you notice any W C Edward?' He had not noticed a W C so he wrote to the owner of the house, asking where it was located The owner did not understand the meaning of W C b ut c am e t o t he c oncl usi on t hat i t s t o od f or "Wesleyan Chapel" and answered as follows - - Dear I have great pleasure in informing you that the WC is situated about 9 miles from the house and is capable of holding 150 persons. This is an unfortunate situation for you if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt you will be glad to know that a number of people take their lunch with them and make a day of it, while others who can't spare the time, go by car and arrive just in time. It will be interesting for you to know that my daughter was married in the W.C. in fact it was there she met her husband. I remember the marriage well and the rush for seats. There were 10 persons on a seat usually occupied by two, and it was wonderful to watch the expressions on their faces. My brother was there. too. He has gone regularly since the day he was born and christened. Wealthy residents erected a bell over the W.C. last week to be rung every time the members entered. A bazaar is being held next month, to provide plush seats, as the members feel this is a long felt want. My wife and I are getting old now and do not go as often as we used to. It is 6 years since we last went, and I can assure you it pains us very much not to be able to go more often. Yours sincerely, P. A. Little P. S. Hymns Sheets are provided at the door.

Peter Dowd September 2018 Safety First – Backup Your Files
We have often advised about backing up your files on a regular basis. Therefore we make no apologies for repeating this valuable advice. Background: There are a number of things that can go wrong with your data e.g. ransomware, hard disk failure, to name but two. The Remedy: backup your data on a regular basis e.g. once per week at least. Frequency will be dictated by how often you add new files or change existing ones. Equipment: Our recommendation is to invest in an external Hard Disk Drive. We would always recommend obtaining a USB3 compatible hard drive. This improves the speed of data transfer. At the moment your computer may not be USB3 compatible but you can use these drives on the old USB2 ports. In the future you may upgrade and the latest computers will all have USB3 compatibility. So future proof now! Portable hard Disk Drives are now quite cheap, even in El Corte Ingles, a one Terabyte drive is less than €70. However you probably have your own sources which will be cheaper. The size of drive will be dictated by the amount of data you hold but bear in mind that a full system backup (operating system and all files) will probably need over 200mb of disk space. Although this may be overkill for most people, because most of your programs are either on CD or can be downloaded again from the internet. However always make sure that you have kept safely the license keys for your programs. Therefore you may not need a full system backup on a regular basis, although it might be worth doing this as a one-off. Your Documents folder may be as big as 14Mb and pictures probably larger. Methods: The simplest method is to copy files from Folder Explorer. However this can be time consuming and there is free software available which makes these tasks quicker. Software: The following programs can help in undertaking backup tasks: Easus todo free (from www.easus.com) When downloading you will be offered MacAfee; you probably won’t need this, because presumably you already have anti-virus software installed, so click on decline. Your installation will still continue. The software allows a full system backup (be aware that a full system backup can take hours). There are also options to back up folders or individual files. This is probably a better option. Teracopy (free from filehippo.com). The advantage of Teracopy is that it preserves the date stamping of files which is lost with easus or copying from folder explorer If you have any questions or suggested topics for future editions, please email us vicloughran@siberme.com or peterdowd@siberme.com
