Marbella bugs and Hannah does DIY

Welcome to the latest episode of Marbella with Him & Her, your weekly lifestyle podcast from Marbella brought to you by Hannah Murray (@radiohannah) and PJ Lopez (@pjlopez1marbella), two expats who moved to Marbella in 2003 and live in the beautiful town of San Pedro de Alcantara.

This week there has been a bit of illness doing the rounds in the area which resulted in lots of cancelled plans. Hannah only made it to one exercise class and didn't meet her father for their weekly brunch as he is now recovering from a nasty bug.

Earlier in the week Hannah put her DIY skills to the test when she found there was a leaking pipe under the sink. She also went Karcher mad, hosing down the bedroom terrace, the back terrace and the front garden.

Hannah was also thrilled to have interviewed Simon Tolken who is the grandson of JRR Tolken (author of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings). She really enjoyed chatting to him and it will be included in her TRE Book Show very soon.

She also chatted to Michael Obiora, who was a child actor in Grange Hill who also had a great role as the receptionist in Hotel Babylon.

On Friday PJ and Hannah both joined the Friday Frolics group for dinner at Bombay Grill Indian restaurant where they both chose healthier options for a change and refrained from going out afterwards. This is part of PJ making some small lifestyle adjustments after having a random blood pressure test after a recent golf tournament and finding it was higher than it should be. Find out what adjustments have been made and what it has done to his blood pressure within a week.

Sur in English articles this week they talk about are the speeding up of the building of the first Costco in Malaga and details of the Bar FM in Granada that was featured in the list of the best informal restaurants on the continent for a 4th year in a row.
