From the EditorFrom the EditorFrom the EditorFrom the EditorFrom the EditorWelcome to the June issue andwhat a busy month we have in frontof us … jubilee celebrations, thenMoors & Christians, then San Juan!Right at the very last minute theprogramme of events was releasedfor Moors and Christians and you willfind it on the inside back cover alongwith a copy of the poster designed byour very own local artist Jill Bennett(who also produced the 2010 poster).On a serious note … on 24th May alarge fire burned around 170 hectaresof scrubland in the Sierra de Almagrohills behind Cuevas dam, extendingtowards Huercal Overa. Fortunatelyno other damage was reported but itlends itself as a warning. The lack ofrain and subsequent dryness ofscrubland and forest areas is causinggrave concern to the forest fireprevention and fire fighting units.2012 is going to be a high risk year, somuch so that even from the middle ofMarch the controlled agriculturalburning has been prohibited within400 meters of a forest area. You areurged not to have barbecues in ruraland forest areas. If you do have onethen make sure you have a supply ofwater nearby, i.e. a hosepipe! Ifhaving a picnic then don’t leave glassbottles or cans behind, they can easilyignite tinder dry grassland. Avoidthrowing your fag ends out of the carwindow - apart from anything else,

♣EU Resident Certificates. With-out going on with a load of legalstuff, what has happened is that aLaw was passed on the 20th of Apriland published in the official StateBulletin and came into force on the24th of April. It is not animmigration Law but one to do withthe National Health system. Withinthis Law one of the dispositions hasmodified Article 7 of the RoyalDecree 240/2007 that sets out thepart of the ruling for an EU memberstate Citizen to reside in Spain for aperiod over 3 months. It nowstipulates that if you wish to residein Spain legally you should proveyou have an income and are notgoing to become a burden on thesystem. This left the foreignersoffice in Almeria (and probably allthe others) in a bit of a pickle as theyhad to commence to enforce a newregulation but with no guideline ofhow to do this, only being able toexplain to the EU residents going fortheir renewal or first time certificatethat all that they could do is acceptthe application and would get backto them in a few weeks. Now all EUmembers going for renewal musttake, apart from what waspreviously required; if they areretired, a Bank certificate statingthey receive a pension or similarincome, if they are working here a“Vida Laboral” - their workinghistory which is obtained from theSocial Security department. This isstill subject to change at short notice.Information Courtesy of GeckoServices ... see ad on page 3.♣How many of you have lifeinsurance with the bank whoarranged your mortgage? And howmany of you believe that thisinsurance is compulsory? Well itisn’t! Whilst there may be someexceptions, despite what the banksay, it turns out that you can switchyour life insurance to anotherprovider and in doing so will eithermanage to get the same sum insuredfor less annual premium OR moreextensive cover for the samepremium. I have done it. And apartfrom saving about 150€ on theannual premium now the bank canbe paid and there’ll be money leftover for those who will inheritwhereas before the bank would havereceived enough to discharge theirdebt and that would have been it.Call in to see Dany at Axa Insuranceon Mojacar playa, he will checkyour policies and documents for youto see if you can switch.♣Bonita Hair & Beauty Studio onMojácar playa are holding a LaserLipo Clinic and Demonstration

Evening on Friday 15th June. Lipoby Laser is a non-invasive pain freetreatment with immediate resultsand can be used on the stomach,facial cheeks, double chin, hips,thighs, upper and lower back fat,arms (under biceps), baby bulge,above knee areas and ankles.Here’s how it works … two largeDiode Laser paddles are placed onthe targeted fatty areas, secured withstraps then two smaller Probe Lasersare placed over the appropriatelymphatic glands and held in place.The breaking down of the fat cellsstarts when the laser penetrates theskin and makes contact with the fatcells. Pores form on the cells causingthem to 'sweat'. The water, Glyceroland free fatty acids emerge from thecells and then occupy the spacebeneath the fatty layer in the skin.The fat cells reduce in size and thelymphatic system then removes thefatty liquids through the venoussystem, where they are processed inthe same way as fatty foods that aredigested. Not only is the procedurequick, safe and pain-free, it is alsohealthy.You can expect to see a reduction ofbetween 0.5 and 3 inches (1.25-8cm).After Care advice encourages clientsto follow a sensible health andexercise routine. The Laser Lipoprocedure does not harm the bodyin any way and will still maintainits ability to store fat in the areaswhere the work has been carried out.This is an important health factor asit prevents the fat being stored indifferent parts such as around theheart or other vital organs. If clientseat sensibly and regularly, combinedwith exercise, the body shape willretain the effects of the Laser Lipotreatment.To book your FREE 10 minutesession call Bonita on 950 473 159.♣The Dames in Spain are havingtheir usual summer break so theirlast function of this season will bethe Beach Lunch at Maui chiringuitoon the 18th June.

♣The Government has announcedthat businesses in premises of lessthan 300 square metres can openwithout a licence. Presenting a‘responsible declaration’ in theTown Hall will be all that will beneeded according to a statementfrom the Deputy Prime Minister,Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría. Shesaid the move would ‘change theadministrative culture in the openingof small establishments, liberalisetrade, simplify the procedures, speedup paper work, and put out a redcarpet to entrepreneurs in a momentof crisis’. The business will be ableto open after the payment of thetaxes, and then it will be the TownHall who will revise that everythingis in order. Currently it can takebetween six and eighteen months toopen a business.♣14 municipalities in Almeríaprovince have said they oppose thedemolition of the EL Agarrobicohotel in Carboneras. The CarbonerasTown Hall considers the hotel willbring jobs and tourists to the areaand want it to be allowed to open.They have now passed a motionwhich calls on the central Govern-ment and the Junta de Andalucía to‘propose’ an agreement which willallow the completion of the hotelpromoted by the Azata del Solcompany. Their motivation is purelyeconomic and flies in the face of thedozens of judicial resolutionsagainst the hotel where work wasfirst stopped in 2007 when it was90% complete by an order of anAlmería judge, but the mostimportant sentence was issued bythe Supreme Court which ruled thatthe hotel invaded the public landalong the shoreline by some 100mresulting in a demand for the
demolition of part of the 20 floorstructure and 400 rooms. The PSOEhas presented 700 amendments tothe State Budget Law, and one ofthem is that the demolition of thehotel is carried out.♣The Guardia Civil want shortsleeves for the summer but theirbosses have said 'No'. The UnifiedAssociation of Civil Guards,AUGC, has complained that theywill have to work in the summer inlong-sleeved shirts, because theirsuperiors will not let them wearshort sleeves despite the hightemperatures of the summer whichcan reach over 40 degrees in someareas. They are demanding ‘auniform adequate for the ambienttemperature’. Recently in Lepe,Huelva a civil guard fainted becauseof the heat and crashed into anothercar – in this case the air condition-ing in the official vehicle he wasdriving was broken.♣The owner of a bar in Murcia hasbeen fined 6,000€ because one ofhis chairs was unable to support theweight of one of his clients. The FirstInstance Court in Totana initiallydismissed the case, but the man, whosuffered injuries in the accident, hasnow taken it to appeal to the MurciaProvincial Court. They ruled that “Achair should have sufficientresistance to support the weight ofany person”. It continued, “the manfell because the chair was not ableto sustain him and damages arevalid. Anyone who puts the serviceof a table and chair for their clientsis obliged to look after thismaterial”. The case dates back to2005 when the client sat on the chairand broke its legs, and it has takenthis long to reach the Murcia courton appeal!

My column is bigger thannormal this month, I havea lot to be excited about,
you see. Let’s crack on with it.I have a new toy. It’s the best toyI’ve ever had. It’s the new SamsungGalaxy S2. It’s a smart phone/righthand man/secretary and I ambeginning to wonder how I everlived without it.For some time I had been thinkingabout getting myself one of themi-phone thingies but, on realising, I’dbe tying myself into a contract inorder to get one I decided to browsethe market a bit.My final decision was swungenormously by my lifelong friend,Stan, who works for the Police as a“Forensic Computer Investigator”.There is not a man alive that knowsmore about things with a micro-chip and he guided me with thesewords. “Owning an i-phone is a bit
like renting one. It’s like it neverreally belongs to you because Applehave so much control over what youcan do with it.” That was all I neededto hear. Stan has a Galaxy S2 so Igot one.Now it’s not my job here at TheAdvertiser to be your shoppingconsultant. It’s my job to talk aboutwebsites and computers. TheGalaxy S2 is a computer andthrough the internet you candownload some wonderful features(Apps) for it. First of all it comes withSat-Nav as standard. This runs onthe same software as google earthand is available as ‘Map View’ or asPhotographic. It is excellent. Thesimilar app for i-phone is quiteexpensive where as on the Galaxy,it is free.By simply googling “free apps forandroid” (android is the name ofthe system upon which it operates)you will find thousands of excellentapps for your phone and many ofthem are free.The list of games is seeminglyendless but games aren’t really mybag. I’m not a big fan of computergames since Lara Croft hit meno-pause. I do admit to having a certainaddiction to something called AngryBirds though. A condition that I deal
with by trying to finish as manylevels a day as possible. I’m doingrather well too. It occurs to me nowthat there may be a linkthere…between Menopausal Laraand Angry Birds... Mmm, I wonder.My good friend Carla tried toimpress me recently with her oldstyle mobile phone by showing methe teeny weeny little torch it hasbuilt into it. A very useful thing, Iagreed as I unfolded the cover to myGalaxy S2 and proudly showed hermy NIGHT VISION!!! Oh yes NightVision. That was another free app.I have since found another app thatturns the phone’s camera flashlightinto a torch too which is very handyindeed.Another useful toy is the spirit leveland compass, many versions of thisare downloadable for free.Among the dozens of great apps I’veadded to my phone’s functionssince I bought it is one called“Translate” which converts anylanguage into any other and workswith typing and microphone too.That in my mind is pretty damnclose to Star trek technology.I have also added a guitar tuner thatworks better than any I ever boughtand another very useful free appwas the bar code scanner. It’s notmuch use for normal day to dayshopping but when buying some-thing a bit more pricey its veryhandy indeed. Whilst in a shop Isimply “bip” the bar code with myphone’s camara and it automaticallyscans the internet for me and showshow much the same item is beingsold for elsewhere. It has alreadysaved me 70 euros on a TV, thank
you very much.Another very useful app I found,called ‘Strava’ is for joggers andcyclists. It operates through yourtelephone’s GPS system andrecords statistics of all yourjourneys, giving periodic reports onyour speed, distance travelled andeven calories burned. If you want,it will post your results directly toyour Facebook wall so all yourfriends can see how hard you trainallowing you to use peer grouppressure to get your lazy arse on theroad regularly and, in my experi-ence, if there is nothing good ontelly… it works.That moves me smoothly on to avery useful website I have beenusing lately. It’s for all you “Free-sat” users. The site iswww.freesat.co.uk and part of thesite’s arsenal is the most easilyreadable TV guide I’ve seen. Downthe left column is a list of all thechannels available on satellite TVand to the right is what is on for theday. Its layout is organised as atimeline rather than channel bychannel so it offers a very easy viewof what’s on and when. Don’t forgetto add an hour though campers. Itis a UK based site.That’s all for this month except tothank my dear friend Sonia forhaving read my last article andsuggesting a very appealing use forbutter that I had never, hitherto,considered… Naughty girl.I should also like to congratulateCarla on throwing that silly old thingaway and buying herself a brandnew shiny Samsung Galaxy S2.

It’s that time of yearagain when you need
to be thinking about aservice on your car’s air-con system.A i r - c o n d i t i o n i n gproblems tend to benoticed at the start ofsummer as the weatherhots up. In the climatethat we live in, the lastthing you need is toswitch on your air-conand get blasted with warmair. An air-con service by COOL -COOL -COOL -COOL -COOL -AIRAIRAIRAIRAIR can prevent this!A lot of people are under theimpression that using your air-con uses a lot more petrol ordiesel, this, in fact, is minimal.Years ago the compressor on acar was huge and it did affect fuelconsumption quite dramatically,now, nearly all compressors areJapanese and are very small sobarely affect fuel consumptionat all, actually less than 2%, sothe benefits you get from usingyour air-con far outweigh theminimal cost.Although air-conditioningrepresents less than 4% of allmechanical failure on a moderncar it is the third most expensiveto repair after the engine and thegearbox. It is advisable to useyour air-con for at least 10minutes a week and get it servicedevery 12 to 18 months. Really itis al l about preventativemaintenance, if you did not putoil in your car’s engine you wouldexpect it to run dry and seize up.It is just the same with your air-con. The main component is thecompressor and this needs to bekept lubricated with a specialkind of oil that mixes with therefrigerant. If this is not donethen your compressor WILL seizeup. If your air-con is regularly
serviced the compressor shouldlast the life of the car.The U.K.’s leading warrantyrepairer Warranty Direct Ltd havereleased figures to show howexpensive compressors can be.• A new compressor on a VauxhallAstra would cost 704 pounds forthe part and 196 pounds forlabour.• A Ford Mondeo compressorwould cost 489 pounds and 198pounds to fit.AND ALL PLUS RE-GAS AND VAT.Warranty Direct LTD managerGordon Rose said, “We arethinking of introducing a waiverin our warranty policies thatinsists that you have your air-con serviced or your warrantywill be void if your compressorneeds replacing.” He also said,“We spend tens of thousands ofpounds every year replacingcompressors that in our opinionwould not need replacing had theair-con system been serviced ona yearly basis.”COOL - AIRCOOL - AIRCOOL - AIRCOOL - AIRCOOL - AIR provide a completeservice, including re-gas,diagnostics, repairs and parts allcarried out by a fully qualifiedvehicle air-con engineer.COOL - AIR COOL - AIR COOL - AIR COOL - AIR COOL - AIR is a mobile servicebased in Mojácar and covers allsurrounding areas.

Protect your hair from the sun ...by Phoebe Davies - Pampered
There is nothing like being outin the hot sun to wreck yourhair. Whether you arespending a relaxing day at thebeach, out in the garden, orplaying with your kids, the suncan really do a job on your hair.This is known as oxidisation,and it is the same process thatput those nice blonde high-lights in your hair as a teenager. However, what it is really doing isdamage to your hair - the reason your hair got lighter is that the hairshaft was damaged and couldn't hold its original pigment. Add tothat chemical processes like perming and colouring, as well asstyling processes like using hair strighteners and blow-drying, andan afternoon in the sun can ruin the great hair you've worked (andpaid) so dearly for. But you certainly don't need to hide in the houseto keep your great hair, just follow these steps:
Get a good hat. Seems simple, but it's your best line of defencein protecting your hair. If you can put your hair up and truly cover allof it with the hat, all the better. If you are looking to protect yourskin as well, get a wide-brimmed hat to shade your face.
Put conditioner in your hair as a barrier. You can either choosea standard deep conditioner, or go for a truly deep conditioningtreatment. Some women, especially in Europe, use coconut oil - athick, deeply hydrating oil - to slick back their hair when they aregoing to be in the sun. Other oils to try are jojoba oil, sunflower oil,

safflower oil, even olive oil. You can even try mixing a few oilstogether. If you have a favourite deep conditioner or hot oiltreatment, look for the oils in that, and you will get a sense of whereto start. The heat from the sun will drive the oils deep into your hairshaft. While it won't protect your hair from all damage, it is soconditioning that it repairs your hair before it can get too straw-like.
Look for styling products with a built-in sun protection factor(SPF). A lot of styling products - even hairsprays - have SPF in them.Bear in mind that products which contain alcohol can dry your hairout even faster in the sun, so unless your hair needs to be styled,avoid products containing alcohol, or any other substance thatwould typically dry out hair. Also be aware that the SPF will washout if you go swimming or sweat - the same rules that apply tosunscreen on your face apply here.
If your hair is long try putting it in a French twist as less of yourhair will be exposed to the sun to be damaged. Remember that youdon't want the hair closest to your scalp - the healthiest hair on yourhead - to get damaged.
If your hair is short, find some cute bandannas. Wrap themstarting at your hairline like a headband, and leave the pointed endcovering the rest of your hair. If you have a square scarf, that worksfine. Just make sure the fabric is thick enough to not let sun through.

UK came in its usual low place.
Still, we all had a good time
sniggering at the other acts -
although we were the only country
that couldn’t laugh at the Russian
grannies, given that our entry was
even older than they were! Spain
came 10th, good news for the TVE
bosses who had ordered Pastora
Soler to throw the contest in order
to avoid the expense of putting on
Eurovision next year.
� Talking of “camp entertainment”
Miraflores at Camping Los
Gallardos (geddit? Ed) now has
live music to accompany their
Sunday Lunches! You can have a
nice relaxing morning by their pool
and enjoy a lovely Sunday Lunch
from just 7,50€, with live music
and all the trimmings! It’s served
all afternoon long, so you can have
it whenever you want, inside in the
cool or outside on their large shady
patio.
� If you want to see some amazing
local photos of the area, check out
Robert Kenneth Jones on
Facebook (from Mojácar). A keen
photographer, he has taken some
wonderful local shots of the area
and his profile is well worth the
look.
� Have you got that problem of
having a large vehicle, trailer,
caravan or similar and nowhere to
put it? Well, why not deposit it in
the secure lockup at Camping Los
Gallardos. For just 350€ a year
your vehicle is fully insured and
looked after, freeing up your
driveway in exchange for peace of
mind knowing it is being well
looked after. Call them on
950528324 for more info.
� And while you’re there, check
out the campsite shop’s wide range
of UK imported goods at low, low
prices. From Marmite to Bovril,
they’ve got it in stock at
surprisingly low prices - and if
you’re a member of their “camping
clubcard” loyalty scheme, you save
even more! The scheme allows you
to accumulate points every time
you spend, and you can then
redeem those points for free gifts or
discounts. Check out the website
www.losgallardosleisure.es for
more information on the scheme, or
pop in any Sunday morning during
the car boot sale (the shop is open
seven days a week).
� Margaret. Rhodes, the 86 year
old cousin and intimate friend of
Queen Elizabeth II was in hospital
at Huercal Overa after suffering a
fall whilst staying in Alfaix, Los
Gallardos. She recently had a hip
op and doctors say she is fine but
under observation. She was
reported to be in fine health, and a
model patient according to
admiring local doctors.
� Researchers from the University
of Almeria have developed a
system to analyse the amount of
livestock drugs in babyfood
preparations, and have been
surprised at the findings of the new
system. The quantities are very
small, but in milk powder and in
meat-based baby food, residues of
drugs given to livestock were
found, confirm the University.
� Moors and Christians on the
weekend of the 15th-17th of June
in Mojácar! It’s the annual bash,
with the landing, wonderful parade
up to the village and symbolic
taking of the town. If you haven’t
been, it’s worth the trip!
� Karen Dee, the “voice of
Benidorm”, is playing up at
Miraflores on the 9th of June, in
an evening BBQ event that usually
attracts a couple of hundred
people. Call 650418954 for more
information and tickets. The
following big event will be J.C. on
the 30th of the month, he will be
entertaining outside as well.
� And if you’re into gardening,
why not pop up to the regular
meeting of the “gardeners club”?
Like minded local amateur
gardeners meet up to discuss
issues, the next meeting is at
Miraflores on the 11th of June.
� The ultimate rock show with
Elvis Presley himself (or the next
best thing - he was crowned the
BBC’s “best Elvis impersonator in
the world”!) will be on the 8th of
July up at Miraflores! Elvis and
his guitar are coming over from
the UK specially for the event, so
don’t delay and get booking quick.
� If you want more information
on these events, or even the
regular events we put on every
week, call Miraflores on
650418954 for information and
tickets, check out their website
www.CampingLosGallardos.com

On a beautiful Sunday 6th May the first Bay Radio ¨Be Nice Day¨ inconjunction with The Fundraiser charity shops, was held, with venuesfrom Valencia to Mojácar Playa.The aim was to raise as much money as possible for worthy charities.Caritas, was the main, national charity, receiving 15% of the totalraised, and the remainder split in each area between local charities. Inthe case of the Costa Almeria, this was divided between Asprodalba,AECC and Animo, an organisation based in Almeria, which uses horseriding as a means of therapy for disabled children.The events kicked off with a 5km walk along the Paseo on Mojácar Playafrom the Irish Rover, and also on Vera Playa, from the Blue Parrot, withwalking ages ranging from 6 months to 84 years. Our first finisher wasCarol Carter, but no official time was recorded, 11 year old Frankiecompleted the 5km on her roller blades and Sharon and Daz of TheChippy, Vera (advert on page 6) who had been actively raising fundsfor the event carried on walking to a distance of 12km and together withFundraiser volunteers raised over 100€.The day continued with live entertainment from Stacey, Ashley &Damius, Paul AKA Betty Swollocks, Lady Ellen, NuLine Line Dancers,Zumba with Julie Bruce and Get Fit, Stay Fit Alison from Indigo Gym,and DJ Ian.Many thanks go out to all those who participated on the day, theentertainers, and of course, the two venues who graciously gave theirtime, to make the day such a huge success.Although, all the monies have not yet been received, we are currentlylooking at a figure in excess of 1500€, and we hope that this will be thefirst, of many annual ¨Be Nice Days¨.

“UNTIL THERE ARE NONE ...ADOPT ONE”
PEDRO – was rescued from living on thestreet and went to live in foster care.Observations by foster carer: Livedhappily with two other dogs in thehousehold (female). Had previously beenin another foster home initially with amale dog. Chases cats and rabbits. Notoy or food guarding or possessivebehaviour noted. Has not been seenwith children. Secure boundaryrecommended as he is athletic and agood jumper. May escape (thoughalways came back). Travels well in thecar though may bark at other dogsthrough the window. Walks well on leadand was friendly when met other dogsout walking. He may take objects andchew them, i.e. lead, remote, cloths,shoes, etc., so will need management inthis area. He tends to do these thingswhen bored and not stimulated. Needsregular exercise. Not anxious whenfosterers left home. Very people friendlyand likes attention. Is used to sleeping inthe house. Was observed to be clean inthe house though started scent markingas he got older. Enjoys playing in thegarden.
TABERNA - This tall greyhound is beautifuland statuesque. A lovely dog, she is easy forher caretakers to handle and manage. Whilstfriendly with people she can be dominantwith other dogs; at mealtimes she may try tokeep other dogs away from their food, or evensnap at them. Therefore we suggest if she ishomed with other dogs that she is fedseparately.
ODIN - is a happy and friendly dogand he loves to come and cuddle withyou. He enjoys the company of hiskennel mates and is very playful withthem. He just loves to run and go forwalks and we always let him have agood run in the large play area beforetaking him for a walk to let him burn offsteam. He’s just born to run! Odin enjoyslife and loves to explore his surroundingsby sniffing and checking everything out. It has been observed that he does notlike cats, so we would strongly advise that he is not homed with cats.
REINA - Described by the kennel manager as, "areally nice and gentle dog", Reina has been notedto be well-behaved with all other dogs she hascome into contact with, both in her kennels and inher play group. She is generally a quiet dog and isnot pushy; not one to rush forward to greet youthrough the sea of dogs at the shelter, she caneasily be overlooked by visitors. However, once itis her turn and she gets to meet you she enjoyshuman company and especially likes to be cuddled.

You Can Not Be Serious By The Other Half
All I said was ‘If you think its hot today, waituntil August!’ Now I maintain two things: One:That this is not a complaint, it is a statement.Two: If I want to complain, then I have everyright to do so.Dealing with Point One first: I was expressing aconjecture. I was second guessing what mightbe going through the mind of the person whomI was addressing – in this case it was the worldin general. I was advising that person, or as I’vesaid, the world in general, that if he/she/ it wereto exercise a little patience they would discoverthat a fact that they had believed to be absolute– the heat - would be proved by comparison tobe a simple variable.Or, to put it another way; if you are feeling theheat today, then in August it will be a lot hotter,and you will be frazzled to a crisp.The Higher Authority grudgingly admitted thatmy reasoning was correct, but before I couldget in an ‘I told you so’ she returned fire with‘You’re always complaining about something oranother.’That is grossly unfair. I don’t complain, I muse. Iexpress impersonal opinions, like William HenryDavies, who wrote; What is this Life, if Full ofcare, We have no time To stand and stare?Nobody accused him of complaining, I’ll bet!Which leads me to Point Two: If I want tocomplain, why shouldn’t I? It is my right.For instance, if I want to become a Druid I willbe allowed access to Stonehenge onMidsummer’s Eve, a time when all other peopleare barred. It is my right as a Druid believer, andnobody may gainsay me in the pursuit of myreligious beliefs. Try and stop me and HumanRights activists will gather in legion in mydefence.But if I mention the fact that the sun is burningrather too enthusiastically on my head then Iam accused of complaining! Where are theupholders of Human Rights then? Do they comestorming to my cause, proclaiming my right totraverse the land bare-headed? Do theychastise the sun for frying my brains? No – theyare conspicuous by their absence, the best I getis the Higher Authority saying ‘Put a hat on, youfool.’She followed with ‘If you are so keen to be aDruid why don’t you get yourself one of thosepointy masky hats like they wear at SemanaSanta?’At this point I decided to shut up. She obviouslyhas no idea of the difference between a Druidand a Penitente, and I don’t think that I am theone to explain it to her.

As I haven’t got much to tell youfishing-wise for this month I’ll tellyou about an unrelated catch. Butfirst I can say that a 110lb tuna wascaught from the shore by a Spanishfisherman but I can’t get a photo toshow, shame. Apart from that onlybream, mullet and a few palometeshave been caught as far as I know.The boat Capitanos haven’t reportedanything big being caught but thereare a few big fish jumping, marlin,swordfish and the like and the sunfishare back showing themselves andthat’s always a good sign. Some goodoctopuses have been boated and Ibelieve most have been taken home.I have a great recipe for octopus, boilone whole for 4 hours with a kilo oflarge pebbles from the shore. Whenthe time is up throw the octopusaway and eat the pebbles!Large dolphin pods have been about,mainly showing between the harbourentrance and opposite the Repsolgarage.Course fishing is picking up withmatches on Lake Argos and the RiverSegura in Murcia weighing in up to85lbs.I netted a nice seagull this morning!A baby one not long out of the nest.I wondered if it was one of George’sor Steven’s babies? (You know, ourregular companions at sea, Georgeand Steven Segal as we named them)Anyway me and ‘Chef Jeremy’ wereout with and on ‘Orca Steve’s’

Garrucha based fishing boat and aftera pretty useless day’s fishing thebottom we trolled along the rocks infront of the harbour wall. Stevespotted ‘Lucky Segal’ as I’ve namedhim, wings wide apart trying to stayafloat on the sea’s surface. He wassoaked and wasn’t going anywhere.We brought in our lines and wentback and netted him on the way past.I left him in the net and in the sunwhile we finished just one more troll(as you do). When we got back to themarina I put him on the boat nextdoor with some prawns and a Spanishboat owning neighbour threw him asardine. He really was not well andluckily for him Steve went onboard tohave a better look as he wasn’t eventrying to stand up. He not only hadone foot missing but had fishing linetied tightly around his other leg and itwouldn’t have been long (if he hadn’tdrowned first) until he lost this footalso. Steve managed to cut the lineoff and ‘Lucky’ soon began to recoverin the sun, preening himself (we havepresumed it’s a male) and even atethe sardine without any prompt.That was the last we saw of ‘Lucky’
but hope he makes it, it certainly madeus three feel good as we did our bit fornature.The Albox fishing club meets everytwo weeks or so at Bar Wassy. Fordetails of the next meeting tel. 677655 049.For further information on any of theabove or to find out about beach,boat or coarse fishing licenses, seeJohn at the Beachcomber BarRestaurant on Mojácar Playa or tel.950 473 099. In case of difficultyreaching me (probably out fishing)ask staff for my mobile number.See more about the Beachcomber,past fishing reports and photos atwww.beachcombermojacar.comYou can also find me on Facebook andTwitter. ‘John Beachcomber’
