In this Week's Issue

It is so nice to be the bringer of good news. Easy jet are going to send in 5 new flights per week directly from Liverpool and Stansted airports as from November. This should bring us over 1,000 people per week. A much needed boost for the island!
Talking of boosts, I went on a holiday villa hunt in Lanzarote with Penny this week, who was searching for a villa for a friend of hers who is quite specific about his requirements. We quickly found one that was perfect, but we were then told that it had been promised to someone else. We did find another one for him, but it was pricey and we had set our hearts on the first one. We went for a jug of Sangria at a local bar and were given glasses with sayings written on them. Penny's said that if you want something really badly then the universe will help you to get it. So we embarked on a exercise where we envisioned this man in the villa cooking a barbecue, enjoying the pool and drinking wine. Lo and behold, the next morning she received an email saying that the first villa was now available! The power of positive thinking!!
For many of us here, it has been difficult to be positive recently as we have watched the tourists become more and more scarce and the council become more and more oblivious or incompetent or both. Maybe the Easy jet announcement should be seen as a leg up to becoming positive again. We know we live on a beautiful island, lets just believe that other people will also appreciate it as we do.
In the meantime, the abandoned dogs on the island still need our help. The Okapi tombola will now take place on the 18th July and to date there are over 50 prizes. If you can donate anything to this please contact me, and if you want to buy tickets, just go along to the HotFM studio behind Cafe Viena in Corralejo, Shooters bar in Tamaragua or the Tindaya Arms.

Albali Wines
Spanish Wines

When I had the bar, one of the favourites with my customers was the Albali Reserva. Rich and fruity with sufficient tannis to give it a bit of strength, but soft enough to drink glass after glass! Albali wines are readily aailable in supermarkets here and I even found a bottle of Reserva when I was in Holland - I had to get it to have a taste of home! I find their wines ood value for money and reliable, so a good buy to have with your evening meal - or even just a plate of goat's cheese. Here is some information on the winery and how they make their wines.

“CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME” (but it must not stay there!)
Spiritual Life

One of the hallmarks of Christian life and ministry is GENEROSITY.

The Bible is full of words encouraging us to be generous. Psalm 112.5 “God will come to him who is generous” Proverbs 11.25 “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed”

Paul writing to the Corinthians speaks about sowing generously for “God loves a cheerful giver”

To raise funds to help abandoned animals on the island, Okapi are having a tombola. Prizes range from flights with Binter airlines to meals at the Cafe Lounge and of course, cuddly toys!

The prizes and winning tickets will be displayed in Shooters on Saturday 18th July from 1pm onwards. So get yourself some tickets and then head down there to hopefully collect a prize. Either way some lovely animals will be very grateful to you!
