Ok it was a long way from wild and there was room service but the traffic was wild so that&#8217;s something. One of the things I love about travelling though is the opportunity to eavesdrop on people from\u00a0 many nations. Breakfast at a hotel is always great for me &#8211; not so much for my breakfast partner whose conversation is often met by a blank stare as I crane my neck sideways trying to listen to the next table. Note to writers: eavesdropping is not rude if you&#8217;re a writer. Really, I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s written in the secret writers&#8217; handbook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">So odd things heard at breakfast: &#8216;Im very particular about my jam.&#8217; Says older man with slicked back hair trying to convince younger woman he is worldly. Gag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been to Barcelona and I don&#8217;t know why anyone would want to go. It smells and everyone takes a nap in the afternoon.&#8217; Says the super thin woman to her expensively shoed breakfast partner.\u00a0 A: I wonder where she actually went in this, one of the best cities in Europe. Did she miss Gaudi&#8217;s amazing concotions of stone and curliqued glass? Did she not ramble on La Ramblas? Or perhaps she was simply staying above a fish market and had a desperate need to go shopping at 3 in the afternoon? Odd. And B: who wears closed shoes to breakfast in Asia?? Hmm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">So now, on the writing front, the first book in the <b>Rosie Black Chronicles <\/b>is getting closer to completion and publication. I&#8217;ve reworked the title as well it is now simply called <b>Genesis<\/b> &#8211; short and sweet just how I like it. A sneak preview will be available soon so keep your eyeballs peeled and blinking for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Now I really need to get some work done.
