Happy New Year

A Happy New Year to all readers.

As we start off this one we have numerous rumours and political posturing in advance of our local elections in May. I do not propose boring people with all the preamble of this but, as and when, any important concrete developments emerge I will add. I do still ask that if anyone wishes to get involved to contact me. Particularly ladies as the parties try to meet the balanced quotas on their lists. Anyone so interested need not speak fluent Spanish but preferably live here most of the year. Just give me a call or drop me an email.

Secondly a reminder that the Church of England are to commence their regular church service at the little village church in Los Llanos del Peral this coming Sunday at 11.00am. Reverend Williams has decided to possibly try a bring and share celebratory lunch to launch the service. Fuller details will follow. This follows the fantastic turnout at the Carol Service, where all seats were taken and people were standing in the aisles!

Regarding the TH I have not yet had a chance to go in since returning from the UK but will do later this week. They are working today but obviously off tomorrow. You may have noticed that the new light bulbs are all being replaced. At last.

The son of a friend of mine has launched a form of mobile telephone interpreting service which may help or be appropriate for some people at times. His name is Alex Mortimer Abad and he is based in Albox. His service is available through the following number. He is trying to provide a service similar to that which existed some years ago here, where, if you are stuck somewhere, and need to use a Spanish speaker for whatever purpose, you ring his number and he deals with it. His number is 672851951.

Oh yes and if anyone knows of someone wanting to sell a decent second hand Spanish registered car please let me know as a neighbour due out in a few weeks is looking for one. He added lately that he would like "a car about 5/6 years old and up to 60k"
