I am in Barcelona, at Brainshare. Somewhat to my surprise, my Spanish hasn’t totally disappeared, and I’m having a lovely time being everyone’s translator. I even manage to understand the people who ask questions in Portuguese, as long as they talk very, very, slowly.
However, this morning, I tried to get out of bed and my legs were asleep, and I fell over, and hit my face on the edge of a table, bruising it badly. Combined with Sunday’s shaving mishap, this now makes two days out of three that I’ve been at the show looking like I’ve just come out of a rather nasty fight.
Also I read “Willful Creatures” by Aimee Bender. Excellent.
