Dear Editor
I started going to Annette´s “Sit to be
Fit” class on Friday mornings at Mariano’s,
Camposol A, 4 months ago after having
had a replacement knee last December.
What a difference it has made! I now swim
100 metres every morning, drive, walk
the dogs and keep up with everyday life
thanks to these classes. My posture has
improved along with energy levels and a
general feeling of wellbeing. I know Simon
one of the pioneers of the class won´t
mind my mentioning that before starting
“Sit to be Fit” he couldn´t dress or
shower himself or put his shoes on, all of
which is now achieved easily after having
a stroke. This class is for anybody
who has had joint, shoulder, back, heart
problems, arthritis and many other complaints.
Our class is fun and friendly and
caters for all levels. We do salsa, charlston,
bollywood, calypso, rock and roll and many
more elements, all sitting down. Every part
of our bodies is exercised from our fi ngers
down to our toes. Annette is great fun, inspirational,
caring and encouraging whilst
closely monitoring us all. We start back on
14th September and I know I can speak
for the whole class and say can´t wait to
start again. As Annette frequently tells us,
“use it or lose it “!!!! Do join us at “Sit to
be Fit” at Mariano’s at 10.30am.

We recently had a new kitchen installed
by Kitchens Plus One. We saw their advert
in the Costa Cálida Chronicle and they
were also recommended to us by a friend
as the company are English-speaking. (Although
we can get by with our Spanish, we
don’t know any kitchen jargon, and as a lot
of money was being spent, it was impor-
tional menu del dia €9.
Friday 5th October - NEST Photography
Group Outing - 10.30am in Alhama de Murcia.
If you’re a keen photographer come and
join us. The fi rst meeting on July 21st was a
great success! Everyone really enjoyed it and
we all ended up with some wonderful photos.
This is for keen photographers, not ‘walkers’.
We talk about photography and go round tak-
tant to be able to communicate!)
Off we went to the Kitchens Plus One
shop in San Pedro (opposite Lidl). From
the start, Philip made us feel most welcome.
As we have an old fi nca, our kitchen
is a very odd shape, with not a straight line
or right angle anywhere. Philip said this
would not be a problem and he was confi
dent they could make the new units fi t.
We decided on our choice of kitchen and
Philip told us the order would take around
4 weeks. Sure enough, the order came
when it should, the kitchen fi tter, Salvador,
arrived on time and, all in all, we are
absolutely delighted with our new kitchen.
You can see from the photos what an awkward
angle the work top is!
Thank you to all at Kitchens Plus One.
We would defi nitely recommend you!

Dear Editor
I have been a customer of Compusurf
for 3 years now and on Friday 20th July I
lost my internet connection, made the call
to the offi ce just before it closed for the
ing photos of anything we want, from doorways
and scenery to fl owers and everything
in between that we happen to fi nd of personal
interest. Then we go for a menu del dia.
On this occasion the meet up is free, but of
course you pay for your own meal in the restaurant,
which will be an authentic Spanish
run restaurant on the outskirts of Alhama.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

day and reported it. I really thought that
nothing would be done over the weekend,
but was hoping for Monday. I was told that
someone would be with me on Saturday
morning so I was very pleased.
In actual fact at 9.30pm on the Friday evening,
Chris personally called at the house,
worked his magic and the internet was restored!
I consider myself very fortunate in choosing
Compusurf and it just goes to show
that I made the right choice for a friendly
and effi cient service. Well done guys!
A very happy Camposol resident
