D The chefs involved in the program id anybody see the programme on the TV last week called “The Great British Waste Menu”? What an eye-opener. It followed roughly the lines of the sister programme The Great British Menu where top UK chefs put together a menu for a big banquet and they compete against each other through knock-out rounds.

ARIES

This is the time when working extremely hard to get things done will move mountains, actions make more of an impact and are far stronger than any words. So let your deeds speak for themselves. If something is unfinished from the past then this is the time to forge on ahead to get it sorted out. Clearing up old business that has stood in the way of your moving on is the focus and recent events have made it abundantly clear what still needs attending to. You have all the tools you need to clear up the past.

This happens once every two years for newer cars and every year for older cars. Of course, you can pay a mechanic or a garage to take your car for you but why not be brave and do it yourself. It'll be good practise for your alphabet, days and numbers just making the appointment.

Tahini and flat Falafel

As it’s high summer now, I thought that a few dips that can be eaten with last week’s falafel recipe, carrot and cucumber batons etc out on the patio would be pleasant. So, part one this week. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike will appreciate this richly flavoured healthy Greek speciality and children will love dipping the vegetable batons.

Here on the costa, there can’t be many people haven’t been subjected to the pressures of hard selling in one form or another. With thousands of properties for sale as potentially profitable investments or holiday homes sure to make their owners lots of cash, there have been plenty of opportunities for sharp talking sales people to sell a slice of Spanish bricks and mortar. That’s without even talking about timeshare, an industry that has had a history of hard selling. It can be a cruel, hard world with salesmen under pressure to perform - perfect for a tense movie storyline but rooted in reality.

Jennifer Aniston is apparently going to appear topless in her next movie. Shooting for Wanderlust will begin at the end of the year and Jen will play a married woman who decides to embrace a hippy lifestyle with her husband, to be played by Paul Rudd. Her current movie release, The Switch, has limped to No 8 in the US box office top 10 and is the third in a run of poorly performing films that the ex-Friends star has appeared in.

Even though it only seems like 5 minutes since James Cameron´s Avatar was showing in a cinema near you the blockbuster is about to be re-released.
The "special edition" has an extra eight minutes of footage showing new beasts and action scenes on Pandora. Cameron said that fans wanted to "stay longer" in the alien world and this edition gives them the chance to do just that. It will only be released in 3D - so the eight minutes is going to cost fans a few more bob to go see. The movie has already set a new world wide box office record and made trillions.

By Sylvester Stallone
Starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham

A group of mercenaries are hired to infiltrate a South American country to overthrow its ruthless dictator - er, not a startlingly original storyline then. But of course, what makes all this a bit different - and something of a guilty pleasure for action movie fans - is that it brings together just about every movie action hero since the 80s.

Walking in Spain in the summer – unthinkable! Keen as I am, I would have wholeheartedly agreed with that sentiment until our recent introduction to this delightful river walk near Nerja. The route is great fun and surprisingly comfortable to negotiate because, even on the hottest of days, it enjoys the ‘twin-cooler’ effect of fresh mountain breezes and knee-deep running water along the way.

of our summer story

The confrontation occurred when Allison had invited me to dinner to meet her daughter, around Easter time, when she had visited from university.The dinner had gone well, though a bit tense and formal, until Allison had departed to make some coffee. During the dinner Julia had been sniping at anything I’d said and I’d thought that this was just a bit of jealousy because of the raport between Allison and me.

L Pio Moa ooking over my columns the other day, I realised I’ve written a lot about the Civil War, the Transition, Franco, King Juan Carlos and Zapatero, but little about the dictatorship itself. I know how interested most EU expats are in the war so here’s hoping they’re just as interested in knowing more about the 36 long years of the Franco dictatorship, because that’s what I’ll be writing about over the next few weeks. When I can leave Zapatero alone, that is.
