Thursday 2nd<\/sup> June 2011<\/p>\n

Today is the 55th<\/sup> Birthday of Robert Nevil, biographer of the Pony Club. Tuesday was the 16th<\/sup> Birthday (that\u2019s an estimate) of Arjan Bose, of the doctoring world.<\/p>\n

Actually I\u2019m somewhat criked. The tasks! My gardens are being shown on Saturday. I\u2019m scratched to bits by my roses trying to get them in place. I\u2019ve been besieged by seedlings for the third phase of planting for late July, Aug and Sept. Nowhere to put them. \u00a0I think I\u2019ve an allergic reaction around the eye from plant matter biffing. So just as the most diarized weekend ever known looms, I\u2019m grotesque. \u00a0Thanks so much. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve been in this house 14 years and never had coat pegs. Coats have been slung over the banister, spoiling the most important view of all \u2013 the one gained on entrance, also concealing a gracious newel post.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying to source a reclaimed white coat-peg board from Angus Willis who usually has such things in stock. As for the phone wires trailing on the drawing room floor… At lunch today (we\u2019d been at the Silver Vaults in Chancery Lane for wedding presents for that Bath Abbey wedding: there\u2019s another thing: I\u2019ve nothing to wear. Silver prices have rocketed), Aunt Lavinia said she\u2019d heard a motto: \u2018A clean house shows a wasted life.\u2019 So wrong, but I didn\u2019t say so. Actually she has a cleaner.<\/p>\n

Last night Connor Cadoux, of the Australian Poor Little Rich Gays, dined at the Multis. He has recently joined a massively known financial house, says it\u2019s fearful hard work. I said: you try should running the home and getting outfits bought for an important wedding.<\/p>\n

The Photo Multi took us round the wraparound terrace. He said: \u2018I like that spider there.\u2019 He meant, it had styled itself well into its position. He gestured to the far hills of Sydenham or wherever. \u2018I want a sign on them, like the Hollywood sign, saying \u201cHills\u201d.\u2019 The thinking seemed to be that people would go to see the letters and then get a good view of his penthouse atop the riverside tower. If they had binoc they\u2019d see him and the Blond leading their unimaginable terrace life.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s talk of the Multis buying into central London and using the Penthouse as a weekend retreat.<\/p>\n

As far as I can see, I can only allot six hours to shopping for the Bath Abbey wedding outfit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s desperate.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no hope of anything more than the present near-engagement with Lord Arrowby, my part-time love interest, given the state I\u2019m in. I just haven\u2019t the time for anything more.<\/p>\n

Look, I\u2019ve not told you how it all came about and the astonishing affair of the invitation to visit the Stuart-Smith garden in Hertfordshire on 20th <\/sup>June. Lord Arrowby is coltish, gloriously difficult, and really rather boyish.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to make do with this graph for the time being.<\/p>\n
