A Tenerife Market for every day of the week!
The markets have become a living part of Tenerife, not only in big cities, but also in smaller towns.
Away from the heat of the summer is a prefect a time to get into comfortable clothes and visit the bustling markets of North and South Tenerife.
You should always try bargaining, especially with leather goods. It may well work – you have fun buying, and with luck you’ll have managed to save your pennies. By the way, if you find yourself getting tired, find a fruit stand to recharge.

From Henry Cottons Book:
Cotton is golf’s ultimate ‘hands’ man, an unrepentant iconoclast who relentlessly insists: (a) that the ever-growing accent on body action is at best wrongheaded and at worst physically injurious and (b) that there is no way mechanically to program and fundamentalize the golf swing, at least insofar as the average mortal is concerned.
In proclaiming that the key to sound and long-lasting golf lies in the condition and actions of the hands, Cotton does not deny that other methods work – simply that the hands method, once mastered is the easiest, most effective, and longest lasting.
The only really adamant stance he takes is against the concept that the golf swing can be mechanically standardized – a position borne of his own failure to do just that after one of the greatest single efforts in history to accomplish such a goal.
Golf is an individual game and will ever be so, whilst human beings vary in physique. The thoroughness with which American golfers have analysed golf in an attempt to find ‘the secret’ has further convinced me there is no secret.
‘To watch a first-class field drive off must surely convince everyone that a golf ball can be hit in many ways.’
Later he also conceded that his original highly mechanistic approach to developing a putting stroke was one of the chief reasons he was so poor a performer on the greens, compared with his prowess at at reaching them.

Here’s what golfers have to say:
Planning Your Kitchen
The kitchen is probably the most used room in the house. It is where the day starts and ends and is generally a hive of activity when the family is at home.
It is therefore very important that this room is well organised and the use of space is carefully planned. This post is all about planning to make the room safe, pleasant and relaxing to work in. It will also help to ensure that you have a kitchen to be proud of and which will add value to your home.
There are three simple stages in kitchen planning.
The first is to carefully measure your room and draw a plan of it, to scale, on the graph paper provided at the back of this leaflet. Do wall plans as well as a floor plan.
The second is to list the fitments you want and plan their positioning in the available space – follow these simple guidelines to ensure that the kitchen you create is practical and safe, as well as beautiful.
And the third is to visit your local kitchen suppliers to choose the kitchen style you prefer, and enlist the aid of a Design Consultant to answer any questions you may have about the planning, and to process your order.
How CCTV Surveys can save time and money when unblocking drains
There’s nothing more annoying than a blocked drain. Let’s face it, when you’re trying to have a shower and the water just won’t go down the drain it creates a really unpleasant experience, and in many cases it can leave you trying a whole host of different options before you find the right way to clear it and move on with what you were doing.
When I was younger I used to live with a girl who had long dark black hair – the same as mine – and we found that after every few weeks our shower drains would clog up with hair sending water straight back into our shower environment – not great. After using a mirage of supermarket products we would finally manage to clear it and by doing this every three weeks we would help to keep the drains clear.
Introducing the CCTV survey
This small device is designed to work in the drainage system, identifying potential blockages and sending back information to a main receiver. CCTV surveys allow the user to utilise a GPS function to identify the exact area of the blockage and also to take any pictures that are needed to identify what the potential problem could be. In turn this enables workers to identify efficient methods of unblocking drains.
Another major benefit of a CCTV survey is that your ability to pinpoint the problem means that you can deal directly with that area. So rather than closing off an entire road or road area, you can in turn just close off an area which helps to keep traffic moving and prevent delays.
CCTV surveys are a great way to save time – by pinpointing the exact area of the problem you can deal with it directly rather than causing other unnecessary damage – and money as they enable you to work specifically at one point which saves additional drilling work, staff wages and various other costs. Overall if you are looking to get your drain unblocked quickly then they can be a great service to use to unblock your drainage system with minimal intervention required.

WHY DID THE GROOVES DISAPPEAR FROM GOLF DRIVERS IN THE LATE 1990’s ?????
What a thought!? No grooves on the face of a golf driver? !?!?!
That was the golf industries response when the V Project suggested this to them. The IMG backed golf product accessing project V Project stated clearly that grooves were on little use and a smooth face would give golfers an instant straighter and longer driver. Which eventually the golf industry took on board.
It wasn’t new technology though! Oh no, the rules of golf had it covered in the original rules of the game, the face shall be smooth…..
I learnt the smooth face from caddying for the late great Christy O’connor, who would have his driver revert back to the old rules smooth face by applying araldite into the grooves and sanding the face smooth with emery paper. It kept the ball straighter and lower trajectory in windy weather.
So naturally, heading up the six year V Project I brought that to the table early on.
Sadly the V Project couldn’t protect the change by patent, but it was a nice gift to change golfers games all around the world.
A little more next time of the V Project and how it changed the game of golf.
There is nothing more frustrating than when something that is obvious to you, appears to be bad manners (or an unfair shirking of house duties) is ignored or misunderstood, leaving you to clean up the mess and solve interpersonal disputes. Being old and sometimes grumpy I often wonder what my mother would think of some tenants manners.
However, times have changed and busy lives encourages us to be thoughtless sometimes.
Make Efforts to be part of the Household
In a shared house are encouraged to make efforts to connect with each other. Any living arrangements work better when tenants try to interact and help one another.
Keep your Room clean and tidy
It is the tenant’s responsibility to keep his or her room neat, tidy, and organised. Alternatively, once the weekly household chores are divvied up, one tenant may be paid to clean for another or pay a cleaner from outside to do it.
Communal Space
Do your part in keeping the communal space neat and clean by placing things back to where they belong and in the same condition. A simple gesture such as wiping down the dining table after use is common courtesy. Smoking in co-living premises is not allowed, except for the designated smoking outdoor areas.
Responsible Lifestyle
Leading a sustainable lifestyle is essential and even the smallest of unthinking actions can mount up. Switch off appliances, lights and fans when not in use.
Noise Levels
Common areas are designed for tenants to enjoy and interact with one another. Avoid screaming or blasting music in the common area, especially during the evening and at night.
Refrigerator Space
If you don’t want your food to be eaten by someone else, keep to your allocated space in the fridge. Clear stale food promptly and make sure everything is wrapped.
Laundry Times
Schedule your laundry day. Avoid disturbing people at antisocial times. Remove dried clothes promptly. No one likes to constantly see washing drying!
Communal Expenses
Many any argument started like the old Ben Elton sketch. ‘It was only a bit of shampoo’; ‘Yes but it was MY shampoo’. As soon as possible agree a kitty for communal expenses and who responsibility it is to fetch them. This is part of the allocation of household duties.

Long term contracts are unlikely to be given with house share arrangements for several very good reasons, but that’s another topic and a thorny one at that. Some owners may choose to provide cleaning services and other benefits but it’s largely down to ‘you get what you pay for‘.
Here are the principals I adhere to myself when renting a room, considered usual for most decent landlords. You cannot consider them in any way a ‘contract’ unless your landlord specifically states this. It’s simply booking a room for a given period of time (please don’t ask for a year, we cannot do it and it’s unlikely others will!). If you need an empadron check with your landlord before moving in.
On arrival, your booking is subject to a trial period of 2 weeks. If you are unable to get on with other people in the house, you will be asked to find elsewhere. Reasonable time is always allowed for this rare event, provided that the reasons are not extreme, for example theft or aggression.
Deposit
1 months rent is the usual security deposit. If no damages are found when you leave, the deposit is refunded 1 week after your official leaving date. Invoices confirming your expected leaving date are available when you move in. If you need your deposit refunded on the day of leaving you must arrange to have your room inspected 1 week before leaving and again on the day the deposit is returned.
Official Leaving Date
An example is easiest:
You take the room for 2 months on the 1st Jan so your official leaving date is 1st Mar. Your deposit would be returned 8th Mar, all being well. Remember that unless you discuss this, someone may well arrive to take your room 1st Mar
Deposit Deductions
Please remember that timescales on deposit refunds 99 time out of a 100 can be sorted to suit both parties if discussed well in advance. Problems arise when someone thinks, wrongly, that they are due a certain amount and that’s not the case.
So read before you arrive and you can avoid any pitfalls. Clean, tidy and as it was, with the booking term completed, there will be no worries.
Again, these are my personal methods of ensuring no misunderstandings and of course, your co-living situation may be different. That said, I hope it’s given you some pitfalls to avoid and ask any questions BEFORE you move in, not on the day you realise you need your deposit back!
Folks, I am going to blaspheme now BUT Puerto de la Cruz is not the best place for a boat trip.
If you are hardcore about your boat trips and enjoy the more choppy weather in the North, well that great, but if you need relaxation on your boat trips then Puerto del la Cruz may not be for you.
That said, many boat trip operators pick you up early morning in Puerto de la Cruz and transport you to Las Americas to pick up the boat. They may give you a couple of hours free time before the trip , which can last from 3 to 4 hours .

Chris Ross – Tenerife Insurance – Highly Recommended
Since moving to Tenerife, I have tried 5 different internet providers. Quite honestly, a good mobile service gives you some pretty neat alternative choices for your internet providers.
This is my personal opinion of them but good or bad, the contact details are listed below.

Thor Telecom I will not recommend because they owe me over €200 for a parking fine from when they rented my car. Dating back to 23rd March before they returned the car without notice, not even having the courtesy of telling me, let alone paying it, I have contacted them several times but despite promises, it remains unpaid.
Throstur Ingvar Steinthorsson no longer replies to my messages. I leave it to you as to whether you want to trust a company that behaves like this.
