One of life's pilgrims.

On holiday in Spain, with huntingospray, blazingskies, and greyfore. In Fuengirola, to be precise. Heading out to Malaga later today, a trip to Costa de la Luz tomorrow, and Friday we'll probably head into Fuengirola itself; the others are keen to go for tapas. Me being the fussy so-and-so am less keen, but we'll see what happens.

Generally, having a great time out here - relaxing, chilling, sleeping in, seeing some of Spain. Have finally finished reading Snuff, and have made a good start with Ecko Rising, which I'm enjoying.

We fly back into Gatwick on Saturday. Must make the most of the next three days. :-)

• Wed, 10:40: Bit of an update http://t.co/hJay2ItO

My October 17th just got really good! First of all, my application for a ticket for the Suzanne Vega radio recording was successful - ticket arrived in the email this morning. So that's 10:30am - 2:00pm that day sorted.

And then I read about this. So that's the evening sorted too.

Don't know what I'll do between the two events - might try to catch a film, might just do a bit of browsershopping. Anybody fancy meeting up in London?

Oh, and mum - I'm not forgetting it's your birthday that day. :-)
