Dear Reader,

It’s been really nice this week in the bar restaurant with lots of customers bringing in cards and small presents. It really does make you feel appreciated when your regular bar and restaurant customers remember you at Christmas with a card or even a little gift.
This morning we opened the bar restaurant a bit latter than usual, we decided to go to see our state doctor with regard to getting my degree of disablement re-evaluated. It’s a long old process but at least we have made a start. We have been given an appointment to see the “Traumatologist” soon and I guess that he or she will send us to Malaga for the next stage of the assessment process.
When we’d finished with the doctor, we had a really nice breakfast in Cancelada in bar restaurant “El Caballo”. This is a bar we would wholeheartedly recommend. It’s really authentic Spanish fare.
The Yorkie puppies:
They are booked in with our favourite vet in the Diana Commercial Centre, Lucia to have their first inoculation this Wednesday at 5pm. After that they will be free to go to their new owners, so we are working hard at keeping them away from the mother’s milk (Sami), socialize them and last but not least, get them to enjoy eating solid food.
Here’s a message for Peter and Ann, who are shortly to become the new handlers of the little boy of the litter Jago: He is now eating soaked dried food without the baby milk mixed in, so no need to bring the Tupperware container to the bar restaurant tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you, but we will really miss Jago, he’s a real darling.
Cheers
Graham .

English Bar Restaurant in Spain Offers Polverones and Liquers for Free to all Clients at Xmas.
Dear Reader,
***Yorkie puppy for sale, kennel name Amber. Father Poky (2kg), Mother Sami (3kg). Ready around 19th December. Price 500 euros. graham.bullock2@gmail.com****
Today in our bar restaurant we have put out the traditional Spanish greeting for our clients. This consists of a selection of liqueurs, Anis, Peach etc from which each customer entering the bar may take a small glass of one of the liqueurs, which are set out on a tray on the bar. This shot of liqueur is traditionally offered by the bar restaurant as a free gift, along with a sort of cake that crumbles to dust as you eat it. The cake is called a “ Polveron” and the word actually means “dusty one.” (Mexican Sugar Cookies)
From the bar restauarant’s point of view this is just a small token of appreciation for the customers loyalty to our bar over the past year, but it is very much appreciated and you’ll probably be slated if yopu don’t make the effort to lay on the “Chupitos” (Shots) and “Polverones.”
The Yorkie puppies:
They are booked in with our favourite vet in the Diana Commercial Centre, Lucia to have their first inoculation this Thursday. After that they will be free to go to their new owners, so we are working hard at keeping them away from the mother’s milk (Sami), socialize them and last but not least, get them to enjoy eating solid food. For those who are interested the solid food is: Royal Canine Starter, which has been soaked in water and baby’s milk and then mashed. You do have to feed each puppy by hand to get it used to the taste and texture of solid food.
Cheers

Should A Bar Restauarant Owner Stay Open or Close-Up over the Xmas Period?
Dear Reader,
Firstly a message for Eva: Dear Eva please send me your email adress or give me a call. Gracias, Graham
If you take on a bar restaurant you wall have been working hard all year and made a nice profit by the time Xmas arrives. The question that raises itself with all bar restaurant, take away owners is: Should I hammer the Xmas trade or should I close for 10 days or so and enjoy a blooming good Xmas with my family, away from my bar restaurant take away?
There’s no easy answer to this question, but a lot of really successful bar restaurants do in fact close for Xmas. We close our bar restaurant because we feel that we need a good break after a year of raking in the cash and the hard work that that entails and we also feel that our regular bar customers want themselves to move more up-market over the festive season.
Everything considered, I would advise that in the first year or two you operate your bar restaurant 12 month a year, but by the time you reach year three you ease off just a little and take a well earned holiday weather back in the UK or perhaps as we have done several times; lock up your bar restaurant and go to the wonderful Caribbean for a complete change.
Cheers
Graham .
