Or perhaps I should say <em>Ni\u00c3\u00b1a<\/em>? Or even <em>Hija<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll find many ways of keeping me occupied &#8211; after all, I know nothing apparently, whilst she knows everything there is to know in the universe.<\/p>\n<p>It must be a large cross for her to bear, being so young and so knowledgeable. I feel quite sorry for her; having to lug her know-nothing <em>Padre<\/em> around the<em> distrito de Granada<\/em> whilst taking the pee out of him and loving him in equal measures must be quite a task!<\/p>\n<p><em>Note to self:\u00c2\u00a0 don&#8217;t mention the Go-Karting we did a few months ago<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am, it must be said, really looking forward to seeing her but at the same time, to be honest, less than enthusiastic about going. Now there&#8217;s a tricky situation!<\/p>\n<p>For strictly personal, non-daughter-related reasons, obv. I&#8217;ll get over it, I guess. Probably.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I finished work today. <em>My heart lifts and is borne around the room with its gossamer wings supported by the breeze of a joy indescribable. No more 04.45 alarms!<\/em><\/li>\n<li>I plan on filling as much of my spare time as possible by sleeping. <em>How can this be bad?<\/em><\/li>\n<li>We are going to a gig in Witney tonight<\/li>\n<li>My horsebox (10t Ford Cargo) is being fitted with a new starter motor tomorrow<\/li>\n<li>We are going to a gig in Oxford next Thursday. <em>Yes that&#8217;s right, I am flying back from Spain early, just to go to a gig!<\/em><\/li>\n<li>We have a night at the theatre in London village booked for the week after next, and a night at a nice hotel<\/li>\n<li>We are probably going to Italy the week after that<\/li>\n<li>We are talking about having a weekend in Stockholm in November. <em>To go to the ballet, no less!<\/em><\/li>\n<li>I had a blindingly good idea for a novel in a meeting yesterday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m quite excited about all of these things, but the new novel prospect sets my pulse racing and makes me breathe a little quicker. It&#8217;s amazing what travelling on the Underground does to the imagination.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really not sure that I&#8217;m capable of carrying it off, I think it&#8217;s too big and a much too mature and intricate piece of writing for me to deliver but it&#8217;s my bloody idea so I&#8217;m going to give it a go.<\/p>\n<p>So you see, although I&#8217;ve been very quiet lately, there are things going on.<\/p>\n<p>Now then, I need to plan the playlist for this weekend&#8217;s podcast.
