		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people from the UK react with shock horror when I say that I am still Valerie Collins. They expect me to have a Spanish married name: some sort of aristocratic double or triple barreled mouthful: at the very least an exotic and probably unpronounceable surname.

It’s already behind schedule. According to Aena, the Spanish airport authority, (I translate) “The new [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;ve come to clean off the obscene graffiti that appeared over the holidays in the playground below.

Apart from washing my face and drinking coffee this morning (oh, and eating a stale madalena), kicking off this blog is my very first action of 2008.
