In this Week's Issue

Hello to all our readers whether home or away. Well the weather certainly changed our image this week didn’t it? I hope that here on Fuerteventura, where there were fewer problems, that no one suffered too much damage. The trouble with all this rain is that it brings up all the weeds that have lain dormant for months!! Amazing really, parts of the island are quite green. Our schools were closed any way on Tuesday, as it was a local public holiday in Corralejo for the festival.

Do have a look at the news item about the winners of the Gastronomic Restaurant competition. Many highlighted restaurants around the island.

A visit to the art exhibition in the Casa de Los Coroneles La Oliva is well worth it. The art exhibition by Peter Wehr is excellent. The house is open Monday to Saturday 10am to 6pm.

Just a word also about the Okapi, the charity for the protection of dogs here on the island. They will be holding their next flea market, to raise funds, on the 14th February in Parque Holandés and also one week later on the 21th of February in Puerto del Rosario at the Plaza de la Paz. It's very easy to remember: every second Sunday in the month in Parque Holandés and every third Sunday at Puerto del Rosario. Everyone can participate selling handicrafts or second hand articles on their stand. Please no commercial sellers. Sellers pay 6€ per stand. Also they always need help at the dog homes, taking dogs for a little walk etc. There are many dogs looking for good homes at the centre. Their generator was stolen from Puerto Rossario a short while ago so if any one has one or can help in any way, please phone Andrea on 650 160 018.

Bye for now

Penny

Bus Stop Dave

At Waterworld in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, a few years ago, my friend Mike was given a severe telling-off at the poolside by an attendant. His crime was using his video camera to record his kids enjoying themselves in the water. This is a no-no apparently, just as taking photos of your children in the bath is a no-no.

Surfbum - Tales from El Cotillo

Bueno

By the time you read this I should be (conditional) oh approximately 8000 miles south amongst some Indians again – makes me wonder if Argentina is my next semi permanent abode after some three years spent on this little Fuerteventura rock.

But will I be allowed to throw a first world dice at their third world game?
