1st February 2012
I said there had been developments. I said there was a sensation. We’ve known about it for some time but the implications are only just ramming home.
The Multis are at Ananda, the spiritual health farm high in the Himalayas. No sign yet of any chanting or strange burnings or wafting of powders over the body to gain aboveness from the material. But just look at their portions! No pudding allowed at lunch. The 1st course two mouthfuls, the main the glory of three. Can you imagine! That Miami-style apartment building (see graph below) full of starved persons in pyjamas. Anything could happen, especially in the afternoons.
Now the massive news is: the Blond Multi’s given up. Work, that is. Just left. The business was sold. He had to work out a period. Whether he’ll still use his former business partner at Glyndebourne remains to be seen. Lady Carmichael, his mother, can’t believe it. The Blond’s so keen, so dedicated. Never a minute to idle by the water fountain, always late in the office, then home to take a piano exam. ‘What’ll you do now?’ his mother inquired at her lunch the other day. ‘That’s what everyone says,’ the Blond replied. ‘But how about you? What’ll you do?’ he joshed. It can’t be denied that the mother must be over 70 if the son is to be 50 in March. ‘Why do I have to do anything?’
I don’t believe it. Poor Little Rich Gays are always tormented into doing something. How they are wrenched, self-whipped on the work course, glorious, but with an eye on leisure although knowing, once gained, they will not endure it long.
Unless, of course, half-starved and delirious in the Himalayas, the Blond Multi turns spiritual.

those ridiculous tiny smears on the multis’ lunch plates have reinforced my view that it’s time to put an end to smearing. By all means serve sauce, but no need to SMEAR it all round the dish
And another thing, dear Adrian, one was always told never to eat anything with cold water on or in it in India, e.g. salad leaves or ice-cream.
I know. But I think it’s different in the Himalayas. There the water runs pure and cold
