I picked these posters up off Facebook. They contain details of Halloween night in "the square" this year. Being organised by the Junta Local and the federation of businesses in Almerimar.

I have been asked to advertise this item for sale for one of the readers. If you are interested in purchasing it please get in touch with me. I will then put you in touch with the owners.....

"I wonder if it is possible to sell a travel cot with a mattress (11cm thick) and two sets of sheets on Almerimar Today? 40 Euros, barely used."

I received this information from a reader, Sonia L, yesterday

"We own an apartment in Almerimar and I am here at present. Today, Sat 26 Oct at approx 2pm my pushbike was stolen from outside the Mercadona. It was locked with another bike to the cycle rack and the cable lock was chopped!! We spoke to the staff, there is no CCTV! Police matter they said!!"

So be warned there is some bike theft going on at the moment.

One of the benefits of the recent bad weather is that the snow is back on the mountains. Jacqui took this picture from the golf course this morning.

UPDATED 24/10/19: Spanish news article suggests Spain will keep current time zone and time changes twice a year.

Just a quick reminder that the clocks go back this coming weekend.

So from next week people will have to make sure they play their afternoon golf reasonably quickly. To get into the clubhouse before it is dark.

I am sure I read somewhere that there might be a proposal for European counties to not change the clocks in the future.

Also, I think Spain is perhaps thinking of moving their time zone back an hour at some point in the future.

Updated: A reader has highlighted the article here on the El País website from earlier today. A Google translation of the last sentence of the article is "In Spain, the commission of experts set up by the Executive has decided that it will maintain its current time zone and the seasonal time change."  I understand that this is even though the EU is recommending that the twice yearly clock changes should stop from 2021.

UPDATED 21 October 2019 - A Whatsapp group has now been set up. I guess we will find out how popular it is in due course.

In the last few weeks I have had a couple of people ask me about whether there is any group of people that play bridge in Almerimar. To my knowledge the nearest organised bridge club is in Roquetas de Mar.

Following a discussion with a friend today I have agreed to advertise bridge on here. Asking for people who are interested in playing bridge when they are in Almerimar.

The idea is that there would be an informal group set up. Communicating via a private Whatsapp group. Arranging ad hoc games of bridge in Almerimar when enough people are around.

If enough people are interested I have offered my service as the administrator of the private Whatsapp group. Controlling access to the group. However it would be down to the people in the group to arrange suitable times and venues for playing bridge in Almerimar.

If you are interested in joining such a group please get in touch with me.

We had a strange liquid pouring from the sky overnight. It was also pretty windy as well.

I am in jeans, a long sleeved shirt and a jumper.

I guess our extended summer is now and truly over.

More on the Almerimar bars and restaurants merry go round.....

I have heard from a few people that Milenio has closed.

Jacqui said it was all shut up when she walked past it earlier today.
