Sunbathing

This young lady wasn't shy about baring all to the sunshine in Estepona today. She seemed to me to have a dripping tap on the chain around her neck. Not at all sure what that's about.

I am still buried beneath an avalanche of missing italics in the proof copy of "Extraordinary People" that I have been working on since last week. All italics have unaccountably vanished from the first half of the typescript - and in a story filled with French words and phrases, finding and notating them has been a nightmare of focused pedantry. Equally unaccountably they appeared again from page 207 onwards. Sadly the original manuscript was never copy-edited by my ex-US publisher, and so it is littered with errors that I am having to concentrate very hard on spotting. It is exhausting work.

But today's good news was that "Entry Island", in its 7th week in the Top 20, moved back up three places from 15 to 12!
