Edinburgh Day 4

I can’t seem to sleep in anymore. I’m not sure whether time in Spain has done this or if I have suddenly got old. I have noticed previously that old people don’t tend to sleep anywhere near as much as younger people. The older you get the less sleep you need it seems. My nan […]

Edinburgh Day 3

Its the eve of my first show today. Technically I don’t have to do anything until tomorrow but I’ve already filled the day with bits and bobs to alleviate possible boredom. ‘Boredom?’ you say, ‘surely you should be working on your show?’ you also say. Well, you say a lot and I say, you’re probably […]

Edinburgh Day 2

I’m up far earlier than I should be. It has transpired that every noise made in our flat can be heard through all walls to a devastatingly loud level. I discovered this both very late last night when, in all attempts to be quiet, I came home at 3am seemingly with a backing track of […]

Edinburgh Day 1

This blog is coming to you via the free wi-fi on the train to Edinburgh. ‘A train? With wi-fi?’ I hear you cry. Why yes. It does in fact appear that now, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the future. I remember the days when trains were all run by the Fat Controller, and all […]

Back at home. Only for one day and its one day that is filled with things that need to happen before I go to Edinburgh. Some of these things are not as essential as others. For example, packing for Edinburgh and working on my show for a last minute preview tonight are both very essential […]

Stick A Fork In Me…..

Its my last day on the Costa Del Sol before flying back to the rain drenched UK where they don’t have beaches or the sea or any of those things. Instead all they have is rain and rain and some more rain. I have had all my allocated sun for the year and European law […]

Some facts about sand

  • Friday, July 31st, 2009
  • Posted by: Tiernan Douieb

I’ve learnt two new things about sand since being in Spain. One is that it gets bloody hot. Like really silly burn your feet hot. The second is that sometimes there are ruddy great rocks in it. Especially at the bit where the sand meets the sea and you can’t really see any of those […]

Nothing Doin’

Don’t have a lot to type about today. This is because I really haven’t done anything that could be seen in anyway as contribuiting to society. Unless it was discovered that the sun’s rays were too strong to be absorbed by the Earth and that people were needed to directly soak them up. In which […]

The Mist

Its a bit misty here this morning. Everyone is saying its fairly common and what always happens but I am getting the British panic that perhaps its the end of the sunshine and now the summer is over in Spain. I’m not used to it sticking around for quite so long. Its been really hot. […]

Death by Calzone

  • Posted by: Tiernan Douieb

Its a bit bloody lovely in Spain. By writing any sort of blog I have to sit in a dark (albeit air conditioned) room completely devoid of sunlight, pool or all the other lovely things that are here. On the plus side this room is lacking in children shouting at me which is rather odd […]
