The temperature in Barcelona was approaching 40c on Friday, which shouldn't be all that bad for a Mediterranean city with ample air conditioning right next to the sea, but what do you know? It's humid, sweaty hell.

At the moment, I am in Cork! It is all Irish and awesome. I am working from my B&B room (we can't travel in luxury all the time, darlings), but shall have to go down to breakfast soon, for I can smell Irish breakfasty goodness.

I really like it here - it's all green and lovely and cold. I even had to wear a coat yesterday! Exciting times. The people are also really nice, really funny. I got chatted up in the pub last night, even though there were inevitable commiserations on my being English.

Sorry, I meant to say more, but... the smell of that bacon, you know...

Oh, I hope you had the FULL Irish breakfast complete with white pudding and soda bread. You won't need to eat anything until evening. Cork is lovely: my sister-in-law comes from there.

Hee, I did, although I balked at white pudding! (I wanted it in principle, but when it came to eating it, I couldn't.) The soda bread was awesome, though.

One of my very best friends in BCN is from Cork, so it was lovely to hear that lilting, friendly accent all around me. :D
