Trapped in a dead end job within a faceless Government department, Bobby Diablo bought a round the world air ticket on a whim and set off travelling, thinking "this will be easy". Turns out it wasn't. With a tiny rucksack, a wet weather poncho and only four pairs of boxer shorts, Bobby emailed his adventures back to his adoring public on a weekly basis to prove that he really was travelling and not just holed up in his bedroom at home. "Dreams of Fluffy White Towels" is a detailed guide on how not to organise a backpacking trip. From ladyboy pickpockets in Bangkok to full on revolution in Fiji, this inept backpacker lurches from crisis to crisis with all the panache of Bert and Ernie.

"Dreams Of Fluffy White Towels" is the second book in the Minor Obsessions trilogy.

Volume 1- Dancing With the Deviltones
Volume 2- Dreams Of Fluffy White Towels
Volume 3- Mad Englishman and Dogs

The three books take an autobiographical and humorous look at the subjects of music, travel and pets. They also follow the progress of technology on all of our lives. The first book, “Dancing With the Deviltones” is very much an analogue book- all hissing, cassette tapes and floppy discs. "Dreams Of Fluffy White Towels" relied totally on email, which was king in those early days of the internet. The final book, “Mad Englishman and Dogs” is a full on social media extravaganza showing how far we’ve come in the fifteen years that these books deal with.
