My husband and I are in Las Palmas for at least 6 months.  I have been spending my time, so far, looking for an apartment.  Having found one now, I am at a bit of a loose end.  

I love to swim every day, and am thinking of joining the Go Fit gym, as it's not too far from the apartment.  I've always liked dancing, so thought I'd see what classes are around that area too.

As a retired school librarian (early retirement) I have emailed a local British school, to see if they would welcome a volunteer to help with reading.

We have both said that the one thing we miss, away from England, is talking to people properly.  (There's only so much you can say to the natives, in 'Duolingo' Spanish)

Any suggestions would be welcome

Thanks

Helen

Hi there! 

We are two young girls who have just finished their university degrees. Sophie has just completed her Masters in the UK Fije her bachelors in the Netherlands, and we are hoping to find any opportunities for housesitting/ workaways in Gran Canaria. We have been here for two weeks and absolutely love being here but are desperate to find a way to stay longer by helping people out with work be that cleaning, maintenance, admin or anything of the sort, or housesitting/pet-sitting for people. We are reliable and responsible girls who love experiencing different cultures and would love the possibility to stay longer on the island.

Let us know if you know of anyone needing help in exchange for Accomodation or if anyone needs a responsible house-sitter! 

Thank you! 

Sophie and Fije

Hi All, 

This is a real long shot. 

We have a boat in the marina at Puerto de Mogan and the onboard fridge is misbehaving. I think it needs regassing. 

Does anybody know of a marine fridge engineer that could come in board and have a look at this? 

Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Cheers, thescout56
