Share Next One Difference

May 6th, 2009 |

I like to do research. Probably from my days as a journo whereby you had to not only cover the story but you had to back up your facts from a couple of sources, if possible.

So it is that I head out to Spain via Google Maps and Virtual Earth - after installing the do-dads - to look at a place I visited some seventeen years ago. Don’t things change… but then again parts of Spain have always been a building site.

Whilst the main infrastructure is still there for the place I want to set the next novel it has drastically changed from what I remember and I can’t even find the venue we used to hang out - shouldn’t have been difficult as it had a huge swimming pool and was not that far from the sea front.

Mind you the anomalies between Google and Virtual in the photos they use is somewhat different. I’d guess probably a year apart.

Never mind. Like the editor said about the news in one of the redtops: “Make it good; make it on time; if all else fails make it up.”
