Shattered actually but radiant. THE SALES!

Last night the Blond Multi wanted a blow-by-blow of my Christmas menus but soon got bored so we never reached the cold turkey on Boxing Day. At Selfridges earlier yesterday I’d tried on a pair of Orlebar Brown swimming shorts (designed to horn up the older man), such as the Blond championed so brilliantly in Tuscany this summer. It was oddly intimate, in his shorts, as it were! They were down from £150 to £49.  Did I mention that this Multi is a hunk? But the Orlebar were no good for me. The 32″ waist too tight, the 34″ flappy and baggy in the leg.

All my frockage life I’ve wanted FIT, FIT, FIT.

Hack out the excess fabric – on the spot if nec.

They fitted the Blond, who is a big guy, although never a buffed-up international Earl’s Court gay. He’s to be 50 at the Pont de la Tour in March.

So much to tell: I’ve made two nursing home visits and, do you know, I think Cousin Smurry’s reinvented Christmas! With Ottolenghi!

Who’d have thought it.

I’ll tell you later, when I’ve the strength.

In the meantime, here is a selection of Christmas cards received.

Look here, Poor Little Rich Gays, without fail, come next October, you will be in the studio, posing for your 2012 card, perhaps in a selection of your Olympic outfits!  So as to be ready for Christmas, just like the colour supplements.

My God! I’ve only just thought: we’re going to have to have outfits for the Olympics – and the Diamond Jubilee, if HM and Edinburgh don’t double keel beforehand.

To return to the point, only Marcus Cargill, England’s leading clock mender (did I mention that he went to Monaco for the day recently to mend a clock? Turned out the billionaire hadn’t wound it up), showed the true Poor Little Rich Gay spirit with a self-made unique card never before seen.
