Juan from Golf Almerimar emailed this list of golf rule changes for 2019 out to people. Thanks Juan.

Looks like the council might be working on the water supply at the moment. There is very low water pressure to our apartment today. My guess it is the same in other parts of the Calle Alcor area.

A lady called Marguerite M has asked me to ask about this.....

"Hi, I am looking for sisters who came from the town of Dalias and moved to Almerimar in the mid 80's early 90's. Mari-Carmen Fornieles and her sister Isabelita Fornieles. They were childhood friends of mine. I met them in Dalias in the winter of 1977. I am originally from Almeria, but live in Australia. I would be very happy to find them.

Hola estoy buscando a dos hermanas Isabelita Fornieles y Mari Carmen Fornieles. Veniaqn de Dalias, pero se mudaron por Almerimar en los 80/90.Nos conocimos en Dalias el invierno del 1977. me daria muchisima alegria encontrarlas. Gracias"

Il anyone knows these sisters please can you get in touch. I will pass on details to Marguerite.

It looks like another one of the locals underneath Porto Fino might be opening for business. This photo is looking at Porto Fino from the main road with the nursery on the left and the tourist office (out of shot) on the right.

One of our readers Chris G has asked us to post this about an almost new mobility scooter for sale.....

"We got back last week from a trip to the USA and whilst there my small fold-up mobility scooter had a malfunction - just prior to getting on the Queen Mary to return to the UK!!  So only solution my husband could come up with was to purchase another one to get me back to Spain!!  So now we have a really lovely- virtually new fold up mobility scooter for sale - as l do not need 2 of them.  If anyone is interested in buying one that has only been used for one week could they contact us please. 

It is white, a folding Go-Go Quest with 4 wheels, has fixed lights front and rear and can do approx 10km on the level...speed 6km and folds up in 3 simple steps to go into the back of a car [think suitcase size and shape].  Can show people that the price on line here in Spain is 2,444.00 Euros but we are happy to sell for just 1,600 euro which is close to a saving of 1,000 euro on a new one."

If you are interested in purchasing the mobility scooter please get in touch and I will put you in contact with the seller.

As you can see, the green keepers are working on the new greens on the Classic (Master 3) course. There is some ingress of the wrong type of grass on the greens. Mainly around the edges. The wrong grass is being dug out by hand.

At the moment the bermuda grass on the greens is dormant. The greens have been coloured so they look better.

After having played the greens for around 3 months now I like them a lot. They were very firm at first. However they are now taking wedge approach shots a bit better. They are really tricky to read and pretty fast. Particularly when putting downhill.

I am looking forward to next autumn when we will have 27 new greens.

Last night we were at the Italian restaurant in the square for the end of season dinner for the El Ejido Bowls Club. One of the topics of conversation was the quality of the Christmas lights this year.

The local council has done a good job of lighting up the town for Christmas. The photos above are from "the square". However a lot of other places in town also have good lighting as well. Mainly the roundabouts.

I understand that the new fish restaurant is now open in "the square" next to the Italian restaurant. As I was walking past it yesterday I think I saw that it is called Portofino (named after an Italian fishing village and holiday resort).

As yet, I have not eaten there so I cannot say much about it. Although I did have a bit of feedback a short while ago saying they were having some issues soon after it opened. Maybe things have settled down now.
