A Postcard From Palmanova, Mallorca, Spain - 21st September 2009
Palmanova: where chips are chips, breakfasts are "full English" and the brassers get their boobs out on the beach. Nosher, Isobel and The Boy are in town on account of Nosher's week-long residential at the Observatorio Astronómic de Mallorca. Whilst Nosher is out all night staring at stars, Isobel and Fred hang out in nearby Illetes. When the fates allow, we meet up for a few hours on a couple of afternoons - other times, whilst it's lashing it down in a tropical storm stylie, Nosher prowls around Palmanova scoping out the tourists in their emergency full-body-condom suits.
