I haven\u2019t covered the Multis in the front row at the \u00a0auction last week nor my high, high dinner on Sunday with Royston Buster, as seen on TV, major feature of Chelsea Flower Show coverage, and also massive wheeler-dealer, millions passing through his hands, in another connection altogether.<\/p>\n<p>But all that will have to wait.<\/p>\n<p>The markets are plunging. I can\u2019t bear it. It\u2019s Tobago October 2008 all over again, where I was stationed for the banking crisis, unable to breathe, strangled in fact. Now my official car requires \u00a31500 spent on it. Such sensitive timing. Repairs purely cosmetic. Air con gone and rear bumper broken.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about a deficit. And there\u2019s the Umbrian villa to be paid for \u2013 I haven\u2019t told you about that, have I? \u00a0I\u2019ve spent the morning re-structuring but how much longer before the IMF or the taxpayer have to bail me out? And the Summer Sales! They will be upon us any minute (make a note, Poor Little Rich Gays all over the world), snapping and snarling at our lovely heels. I\u2019m thinking seriously of slashing my budget to zero.<\/p>\n<p>Underlying, of course, is the Anthony Mottram situation. Not being on speakers is so draining. Pavel Marincek, former young boyfriend of Mottram, has arrived from Prague for the Chelsea Flower Show this afternoon. Well, there\u2019s so much to say re: Poor Little Rich Gays and their relationships, so much you could copy, but let\u2019s not go into it now.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I woke up and remembered: 2<sup>nd<\/sup> June is Robert Nevil\u2019s birthday. Coronation Day, although not the actual one sadly, was when this tiny book-writer was introduced. He was even smaller then, if you can imagine, being only a baby. The thing is on Monday Aunt Lavinia rang up \u2013 she\u2019s the one whose voice was honed centuries ago for riding to hounds. Sudden wen for Glyndebourniana. It\u2019s been a sore point. She inherited my uncle Maristow\u2019s membership, you see, but this year, she\u2019s been Glyndebourne-inert. Not going, not at all, hence no invitation! Anyway, we diary away. How about 2<sup>nd<\/sup> June?\u00a0 Yes, there are tickets to be had. And poor Robert Nevil\u2019s birthday clean forgot. Out of the window. Glyndebourniana scythes all before.<\/p>\n<p>Until this morning, that is, when I remember.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday 26th May 2010 I\u2019ve such a backlog.
