Then there was that delirious last-minute Ivy dinner on Wednesday. How happy we were.\u00a0 Three Poor Little Rich Gays and three women without men. The Multis and me, Beatrice Cantor, the painter, a cat-loving picture editor and the costume-designing wife of a well-known film director. No arse. No side. We held up parts of life with no particular cachet and looked at them with pleasure in the light (that\u2019s a metaphor). The Costume-Designer lifts napkins from restaurants. At the end, the doorman came to the table to say there were no taxis (because of the tube strike). She said, kicking up red lacquer heels, \u2018If you can get me some sensible shoes I\u2019ll walk back.\u2019 He said: \u2018Well, there\u2019s the napkins. You could tie them round your feet.\u2019 She said, holding coyly up one of the Ivy monogrammed ones: \u2018I\u2019ve got heaps of these at home already.\u2019\u00a0 The Photo Multi had been to an auction at Sotheby\u2019s beforehand, stood in a doorway at the back and bid. But he breathed not a word. Only afterwards did he reveal the ordeal. Bidding from the back, for Beatrice Cantor\u2019s work as it happens, everybody turns to stare at you. The Photo Multi is unbelievably forward but terribly shy.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight my dinner at home for eight seems to trip over last Saturday\u2019s dinner at Peter Acharya and Ned Czernowski\u2019s, yet to be covered. We saw people in drag but they weren\u2019t actually there. Now there\u2019s trouble with Borough Market and Lord Arrowby has re-loomed.<\/p>\n<p>So much to think about. Come back tomorrow. I\u2019ve got my pinny on. There\u2019s also been a saga over labneh.
