WOW!!AMAZING!!

The Good

Processions – Some say these arespectacular and I suppose if you reallyweigh it all up, they are, although I haveto admit to finding them a littleDullsville. However, that’s just becauseI’m more of a parade kind of chick. Giveme colour, flamboyance and upbeatmusic over melancholy drum beats, dismal costume and a weighty atmosphereany day. Semana Santa is the most popular pro-cession of Spain when tears are shedas heavy statues of religious figures arehauled along streets followed by morbidbands and children holding candles. Ittends to like to rain at this time of theyear, which is typical.

The Bad

Powercuts – Sudden and unwelcomedarkness has always been a pet hate ofmine, especially as it always arrives atthe most awkward moments. Out comethe candles and the torch (if I can find

them). After ten minutes of blindly rum-maging in various drawers and cup-boards, breaking valuable possessionsin the process, finally I have my handson the torch. It’s then that the lightsdecide to grace us with their presenceonce more. AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!

The Ugly

Ponginess (a self invented word) –Having an ultra sensitive sense ofsmell, the pongs that waft from bins inSpanish towns and cities do cause mesome distress. I mean the ‘stomachchurning’ kind of smells that make onefeel a tad queasy and have you search-ing for the nearest loo (just in case).

Parking – Come summer the ridiculousparking chore rears its ugly wart-riddenhead once more. What hell! Smart carsare definitely the way forward, eitherthat or MatchboxW!

Next month we dish out the Qs & Rs

After the twin disasters of Swept Awayand Revolver, director Guy Ritchiewisely returns to Lock, Stock territorywith RocknRolla, a multi-characterthriller set in London's criminal under-world. Tom Wilkinson plays Lenny, anold school gangster who gets involvedin a shady property deal withAbramovich-like Russian billionaire Uri(Karel Roden), only for Uri's priceless"lucky painting" to go missing whileunder Lenny's care.On top of that, small-time crook One-Two (Gerard Butler) and his Wild Bunchof gambling buddies (Tom Hardy, GeoffBell and Idris Elba) make things awhole lot worse for Lenny when Uri'sslinky accountant Stella (Thandie

Newton) persuades them to help hersteal the cash from the impending prop-erty deal. Meanwhile, Lenny's right-hand man Archy (Mark Strong) mobilis-es the troops to find Uri's painting,unaware that it's been borrowed byLenny's missing-presumed-dead junkierock star stepson, Johnny Quid (TobyKebbell).This is a welcome return to form for GuyRitchie that reminds you what all thefuss was about in the first place. Hisstylish direction (using freeze-frames,voice-over, captions and snappy edit-ing) expertly juggles the different char-acters and storylines until everythingbegins to fall into place for the final act.The performances are excellent but thestandout is Toby Kebbell, who stealsthe entire film with a terrific turn asJohnny, the RocknRolla of the title. It'salso a testament to Ritchie's directionthat he manages to get decent perform-ances out of three of cinema's most irri-tating actors (Gerard Butler, Tom Hardyand Thandie Newton).Ritchie orchestrates some superbsequences and the script has severallaugh-out-loud moments, particularlywhen Kebbell's on screen. Here's hop-ing he gets to make his intended sequel(optimistically announced by the endcredits).RocknRolla is a return to form forRitchie and an enjoyable, well madecrime caper that should delight fans ofLock, Stock and Snatch.Recommended.

Taken from papers written by a classof 8-year-olds

Grandparents are a lady and a manwho have no little children of there own.They like other people's.

A grandfather is a man & a grand-mother is a lady!

Grandparents don't have to do anythingexcept be there when we come to seethem. They are so old they shouldn'tplay hard or run. It is good if they driveus to the shops and give us money.

When they take us for walks, theyslow down past things like prettyleaves and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about thecolour of the flowers and also why weshouldn't step on 'cracks.'

They don't say, 'Hurry up.'

Usually grandmothers are fat but nottoo fat to tie your shoes.

They wear glasses and funny under-wear.

They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandparents don't have to be smart.

They have to answer questions like'why isn't God married?' and 'How comedogs chase cats?'

When they read to us, they don'tskip. They don't mind if we ask forthe same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grand-mother, especially if you don't have tel-evision because they are the onlygrown ups who like to spend time withus.

They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they sayprayers with us every time and kissus even when we've acted bad.

Here are some tips to help get youstarted when making yoursE1. Be realistic: The surest way to fallshort of your goal is to make your goalunattainable. For instance, resolving tonever eat your favourite food againcould be a bad choice. Strive for a goalthat is attainable, such as avoiding itmore often than you do now. 2. Plan ahead: Don't make your resolu-tion on New Year's Eve. If you wait untilthe last minute, it will be based on yourmindset that particular day. Instead, itshould be planned well beforeDecember 31 arrives. 3. Outline your plan: Decide how youwill deal with the temptation to skip thatexercise class or have one more ciga-rette. This could include calling on afriend for help, practicing positive think-ing and self-talk. 4. Make a "pro" and "con" list: It mayhelp to see a list of items on paper tokeep your motivation strong. Developthis list over time, and ask others tocontribute to it. Keep your list with youand refer to it when you need helpkeeping your resolve. 5. Talk about it: Don't keep your resolu

tion a secret. Tell friends and familymembers who will be there to supportyour resolve to change yourself for thebetter or improve your health. The bestcase scenario is to find yourself abuddy who shares your New Year's res-olution and motivate each other. 6. Reward yourself: This doesn't meanthat you can eat an entire box of choco-lates if your resolution is to diet.Instead, celebrate your success bytreating yourself to something that youenjoy that does not contradict your res-olution. If you've been sticking to yourpromise to eat better, for example, per-haps your reward could be going to amovie with a friend. 7. Track your progress: Keep track ofeach small success you make towardreaching your larger goal. Short-termgoals are easier to keep, and smallaccomplishments will help keep youmotivated. 8. Don't beat yourself up: Obsessingover the occasional slip won't help youachieve your goal. Do the best you caneach day, and take each day one at atime.

Having exhausted most of the fineeateries from round our way, Hannahand I decided to venture to San Juan forour outing of the month.We had heard there was a fairly newEnglish owned Bar/Restaurant therecalled Mi Cortijo and we found it con-veniently located on the main roadthrough the town. To enter the bar andrestaurant there was a large terrace towalk through, with a pool table and TVs. “Bet this is popular in summer,” Iremarked.The main dining area was a treat for theeyes. It had an intimately cosy feel to it,with an open fire, candlelit tables andwarm décor. We felt comfortable andrelaxed almost immediately. It helpedthat the owners, Gary and Brendan,were genuinely welcoming and friendly.After a little warm up convo we learntthat the bar had been open sinceOctober 1st. Gary is the chef andBrendan is bar attendant come waiter! It was a Friday night and lo and behold– Curry Night! And do you know at thatmoment, having spent all day bravingbiting winds, a damn good curry wasjust what the doctor ordered.We couldn’t believe the price – just 6€for a two course Indian meal. First anOnion Bajhi arrived, which I have to saytasted (and looked) better than youraverage ‘Curry House’ attempt. Usuallythey come dripping with grease, but this

one was simply perfect, plus it wasserved with Gary’s secret sauce. Tryguessing the ingredients!For the main course there were twochoices – Chicken Korma or Jalfreziand as my delicate mouth can’t take somuch heat as Hannah’s I opted for themilder option – the Korma.Both choices were delicious in theirindividual ways and there was a hugemound of rice too, so finishing hungrysimply wasn’t in the equation.And you guys know us Sentinella Girlsby now – leaving a restaurant withoutdessert is like leaving England withouta cold – a rare occurrence. So Iscooped up the Treacle Pudding andHannah had something brown andchocolaty.Other dishes on the menu include chillicon carne, lamb shanks, ribs, burgers,spaghetti meals, Belgian stew, salmonand swordfish.“The restaurant is popular with allnationalities,” revealed Gary. “We aren’tonly popular with the expat community,but also the Spanish locals.”He continued: “Everything is made fromscratch here. I love nothing more thanmaking our customers happy.”Final verdict: Amazing value and quali-ty. You’d be mad not to try this beautyout!

Restaurant Review

Dear The Sentinella Readers!

As we move closer to the end ofanother year I wanted to thank youfor all the e-mails and letters youhave forwarded to me over the pastyear.

I must send a big thank you to whoeversent me the one about rat shit in theglue on envelopes, because I now haveto use a wet sponge with every enve-lope that needs sealing. Also, I nowhave to wipe the top of every can I openfor the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because Igave it all to a sick girl who is about todie in the hospital for the 1,387,258thtime. But that will change once I receivethe $15,000 that Bill Gates andMicrosoft are sending me for participat-ing in their special email programs. Orfrom the senior bank clerk in Nigeriawho wants to split seven million dollarswith me for pretending to be a long lostrelative of a customer who died ines-tate.

And I need no longer worry about mysoul because I have 363,214 angelslooking out for me.

I have learned that my prayers only getanswered if I forward emails to sevenfriends and make a wish within five min-utes.

I no longer drink Coca-Cola because itcan remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy petrol without taking a friend along to watch the car so a seri-al killer won't crawl in my back seatwhen I'm filling up.

I no longer go to shopping centresbecause someone will drug me with afood sample and rob me.

I no longer answer the phone becausesomeone will ask me to dial a numberand then I'll get a phone bill with calls toJamaica, Uganda, Singapore andUzbekistan.

I can't even pick up the five pounds Ifound dropped in the car park becauseit was probably put there by a crazedaxe murderer waiting under my car.

Emails!

It is some time since I booked a budgetairline flight online and it will certainlybe the last. Budget airlines are nowstrict no-goers for me. In the future I amquite happily going to book myself on toscheduled flights with the big carriers,even if it does cost more.What a farceWI just want a ticket, nomore, no less. I just want to get where Iwant to go without partaking in aSpanish Inquisition. “Simple jet?” Morelike “How difficult can we bloody make itfor you jet?” In theory it should havebeen simple enough. All that wasrequired was one ticket from Londonback to Spain. I had credit card in handand I know my name and address off by heart, surely all I needed? I even knewexactly when and from where I wanted to travel. But no. Not happy with accepting my hard earned money totransport me in cattle like conditions

whilst trying to bribe me into buyingscratchcards “for charity” and attempt-ing to flog me slices of pizza made ofplaydough, they want to break my will tolive too. The last time I booked a flightonline, it took all of about 90 seconds.This time round the best part of abouthalf an hour as I negotiated my waythrough a minefield of obscure ques-tions. Will I have a bag? Would I likespeedy boarding? Would I like to pur-chase travel insurance? How manypairs of skis would I be carrying? Whatwas my promotional code? And would Ilike to pay for my carbon offsetting, so Icould save the planet too! Well I never!What began as a forty quid cheapy hadall of a sudden turned into double that,just for turning up!By Kelly, The Sentinella CostaTropical

This month we giddy up and saddledown to look at the Horse.

Horses belong to the equus family.Equus comes from the ancient Greekword meaning quickness.

Horses are mammals in the same fam-ily as zebras, mules and donkeys.

An average life span for a horse isaround 20 -25 years, though they canlive for up to 30 years. The oldestrecorded horse was "Old Billy," anEnglish barge horse, who lived to be 62years old.

*Horses don't have gall bladders. *Horses can see colour. *The teeth of a horse take up morespace in the head than the brain. *Human hair and fingernails are madefrom the same protein as horse hooves. *Horses hooves grow about 1/4 inchper a month, taking almost a year togrow from coronet to ground.

*The only mode of transportation on theGreek island of Hydra are horses andponies.

*Horses are more comfy when facingthe rear of the trailer they are riding in. *Manhole covers were originallydesigned with raised surfaces to keephorses from slipping.

Silly Laws *In New York City, it is illegal to open orclose an umbrella in the presence of ahorse. *Blowing your nose around horses is ano-no in Waterville, Maine and Leahy,Washington. Saco, Missouri prohibitsscary hats so you won't frighten horses,and Steadfield, Michigan bans ridersfrom wearing masks and beingunshaven.

Whilst we have chosen to live in Spain we can not unfortunately choosewhere we die – it is likely that you have car insurance, house insurance andhealth insurance all of which represent financial protection against an eventwhich may never occur but you have probably not thought about protect-ing yourself from the one certainty in life – Death.Ask yourself the question what would happen if someone you know dies inSpain? Would you know who to call? Would they know the Spanish systemon funerals? Would they be able to cope with local laws and regulations inSpain? Would family have time to get to Spain (within 48 hours)? Wouldfunds be readily available to cover all costs? Could you cope at a time ofgreat stress?

Through pre planning and pre paying you:• Choose the type of service you want at your funeral.• Remove the decision making process from loved ones at a time of greatstress.• Fix the price (through pre planning and pre paying) you fix the price attoday‘s cost whenever life‘s final event may occur in the future

So providing “ Peace of Mind” from €2145

Visit SPN Funeral Plans’ website and find out more about the procedureson death in Spain, and how an SPN Funeral Plan can benefit you.
