MY BODY WANTS TO BE SPANISH SO I’M DOING AS IT BIDS

Good morning !

I’m flying back to Spain today, with all my new medication. I have my certificate from my doctor to say I’m not a drug smuggler, and am allowed to travel with my magic injections! I’m taking them in a little cooler, as the medications needs to be kept refrigerated. It’s suddenly become really hot, both in Switzerland and in Spain.

I’m trying not to get too excited, because I don’t want to jinx it, but I’m feeling much better after my last injection on Tuesday, so maybe something has tipped to the good side? Fingers crossed. My next one is in two weeks. It will be my first self-injection.

Anyway, I filmed myself reading My Body Wants to Be Spanish, which is from my new (it was released in April, so I think I’m allowed to still call it new, right?) poetry book, Illicit Croissants At Dawn, which would be a great little book to take to the beach, or the pool, and to dip in and out of! It’s a poetry book for people who are not sure they like poetry but enjoy honesty and humour. It’s playful, mischievous and moving. Why not give it a go? It also has a matching Spotify playlist, with a song for each poem! So you can put your ear-buds/air-buds/or whatever they’re called and enjoy the music under your parasol.

Here is My Body Wants To Be Spanish, read in Switzerland with wet hair!
