I spotted this poster in the window of the tourism office yesterday.

Years ago on the old version of this website I wrote a long detailed article about the way you get an ITV (MOT) done on your car. This information got lost when the site was hacked in around 2012.

I got our car done today. So here is a summary of the process.

Last night Jacqui and I walked across the golf course on the way down to having some tea in the marina. On the way down we spotted that the 4th and 9th greens had new grass on them. As we came under the bridge (after being dive-bombed by the seagulls again) we spotted that the 18th green had been done as well. As you can see from the photo above.

As with last year the greens were neither seeded nor turfed. Strands of a creeping Bermuda grass have been turned into the greens.

With the predicted high temperatures soon and lots of watering (as you can see) I guess the greens will start growing pretty quick.

The article here on the La Voz de Almería has details of the impact of the upcoming heatwave on the province of Almería.

It looks like it will be hot but not as hot as some other parts of Spain.

The article here on the Olive Press site says that Spanish summer temperatures are due to rise from next week. Also, the temperature this summer is likely to be at least half a degree higher than average.

The culture department of the El Ejido town hall has announced details of the 2019 San Insidro festivities. You can see details here on their website.

Among other things it includes the usual late night fireworks events in El Ejido.

I have received the following message from Christine A....

"Anyone know where you can get a cooker checked out that keeps tripping?"

If you can help Christine please get in touch. Either via the contact form on the site or via the Facebook page.

Just spotted the article here on the Euro Weekly News site.
