Halloween. We're Closing Our Bar and all Going Off to Celebrate in a Friend's Bar in Benalmadena.




A Yorkie Litter is on the Way. Any volunteers?





We will be Celebrating Halloween in a Bar in Benalmadena This Year.

Monday 29th October

Hi,

After selling second hand English books in our bar for a couple of months now and raising a regular trickle of income for our Street Children’s charity in Nepal, we have reacted to requests from customers to introduce Spanish books also. We had about 500 books Spanish and English cluttering up our apt, so I boxed them all up and my son Victor took them down to the bar and I must admit that we have reclaimed a lot of space in the apt through this move and the apt looks a lot better for it. More like an apt and less like a public library.

We have a kind of breakfast bar arrangement in our restaurant, which rarely gets used, as most people prefer to eat and drink on the terrace or at a table, so we have used this breakfast bar to display both Spanish and English books for sale. We take a few euros each day towards our preferred charity, but over the course of a year that should amount to enough to sponsor a Street Child and send them to the Buddha Memorial Children’s Academy for a year.

A lot of customers at our bar want us to put on a Halloween party on Wednesday night, but this year we are going to close our bar and go to a party in a friend’s bar in Benalmadena and let other people do all the work for a change, whilst we have a good time.

Very conveniently Victor has a good friend Pablo who lives in Aroyo de la Miel, near Benalmadena, so they are going to meet up in a bar in Fuengirola and go to a club to celebrate Halloween mob handed; all rather handy, as we can all travel from Estepona to Fuengirola in together in one car.

Sami the Yorkie: She is expecting her litter of three or perhaps four puppies around the 7th November, so we have to have a baby sitter for her when we decide to go out, just in case she has the puppies when we are not at home. Eli who works for us in our bar is very in to whelping bitches, so once again it is rather convenient that we have Eli available to stand in for us when we do go out. We also have the mobile number for Lucia, who is a really great and extremely caring vet. And we can really recommend her to any readers who are looking for a good vet in the Estepona/San Pedro/Marbella area.

We have made a whelping box from a cardboard box and filled it with shredded news paper, an idea we got from a customer in our bar and I’ve also seen it described on the Internet. The idea is that once Sami has delivered he puppies, we change the shredded newspaper every day to keep the environment hygienic.

I simply can’t imagine what life will be like in the apt with three to four Yorkie puppies running around. There’s going to be a lot of cleaning up to be done. Any volunteers?

Cheers

Graham
