Did you enjoy the Champions League? Barcelona produced a masterclass of passing and possession which left Sir Alex chewing his gum in admiration. Messi and Iniesta were imperious and Ronaldo and Rooney were snuffed out after the first flurry of United activity.Sincere commiserations to United fans. I thought your travelling supporters did you proud last night and Sir Alex was gracious in defeat.
It´s as beautiful day here in La Nucia and we have wall to wall sunshine. Will it continue?

We’re not done yet! Healthy Ageing also includes…
The ultimate secret to not breaking
your hip is better balance…
Believe it or not, osteoporosis accounts for just one-sixth of your hip fracture risk. The truth is that folks over 50 just fall more often! That’s because they have increasing problems with balance. But there are ways to improve your balance and decrease your risk of falling….
Good old Vitamin D! It helps prevent falls by actually making the muscles stronger and improving coordination.
Older adults are often deficient even if they’re taking multis. So, many doctors insist they get at least 1,000 International Units of a special type of Vitamin D every day. It’s called Cholecalciferol. And that’s exactly the dosage and type we’ve included in Healthy Aging.

- A first-rate memory…

RECTUM STRETCHER
While she was ‘flying’ down the road yesterday, a woman passed over a bridge only to find a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait.
The cop pulled her over, walked up to the car, with that classic patronizing smirk we all know and love, asked, ‘What’s your hurry?’. To which she replied, ‘I’m late for work.’
‘Oh yeah,’ said the cop, ‘what do you do?’. I’m a rectum stretcher,’ she responded. The cop stammered, ‘A what? A rectum Stretcher? And just what does a rectum stretcher do?’
‘Well,’ she said, ‘I start by inserting one finger, then work my way up to
> >
two fingers, then three, then four, then with my whole hand in. I work from side to side until I can get both hands in, and then I slowly but surely stretch it, until it’s about 6 feet wide.’
‘And just what the hell do you do with a 6 foot arsehole?’ he asked
‘You give him a radar gun and park him behind a bridge…’Traffic Ticket £95.00 Court Costs £45.00
Look on the Cop’s Face……. PRICELESS
For everything else, there’s MasterCard!
