Tech problems, clothes, laziness and apologies

We have been offline for about a week and only now, on Saturday evening of Jimena's Mushroom Days  (more on that tomorrow...) has out Internet connection been re-established. Also, had to attend yesterday's Black Friday sales at the Primark store in Algeciras - a whole afternoon's shopping  that nearly killed me, but am delighted and grateful to have been able to buy some new clothing for the first time in eight years (!).  And we've been lazy -- okay, I've been lazy. So apologies to all my readers on all counts. We'll be back in form by next Friday, trying to catch up with everything.

There's more than a lot about Ebola

There are a whole bunch of articles on NewCampoPulse this week, and not all of them are about Ebola. We would appreciate your feedback, good or bad, for which you have several ways of communicating: as a comment below an article, as a simple e-mail to albertoadolfo561@gmail.com or even in the Contact Form on the right sidebar. We are hoping to be able to come online with a new website by the end of October, but are having some technical troubles (mainly top do with my memory gaps and my difficulties going uphill -- in this case because it's a steep learning curve.) In the meantime, we would like to announce that we have taken on a person who will be writing regularly on a variety of subjects but mainly as a music/concert critic (she would have preferred being a beer critic, but maybe not). Below find some of the headline links for today, which should give you a good weekend's reading:

EDITORIAL: about a new website

Since I re-started things with New CampoPulse, there is a semi-new name for a new website that may even surprise you (Sorry, it’s none of the suggestions we've had, which were a little too Alberto-centric – I can do that quite well all by myself.). It is one I and others had been working on when I became ill but has been in abeyance for well over a year and is being revived, probably as a weekly. Subject matter will be announced, as will subscription rates (I hope!), but it will be covering all of Spain, with an emphasis on the South and the Eastern coastline, plus Madrid. Under discussion at present is whether it will also be put out in Spanish.

Temporary drop spot

This is just a temporary home for all the items I've been accumulating while a new blog and/or website is being created. Bear with me, but do please read it...
