Only the weak are fully diarised.\u2019 Ironic in view of our later intimate conversation.<\/p>\n<p>But every room of my home was upside down; the workings were revealed: remember, Poor Little Rich Gays go up a step ladder when no-one\u2019s looking. \u00a0I had 40 mins to: finish weeding the garden, tie up plants, clear away equipment including step-ladder, vac out my \u2018conservatoire\u2019 (well, a small area with glass roof beside the garden, although glass roof cost \u00a35000, paid for by the Gay Mother, selected by Bruce MacBain), remove drying clothes, screw coat pegs to wall, rub up dining table, rub up kitchen floor, tidy drawing room, conceive a 3-course menu, shop at Waitrose, shower and outfit. In stock I had breakfast radishes, padron peppers, Duchy sausages, beetroot so only mackerel fillets, red onion and strawberries to acquire. I whirled as in a classic chase scene from <em>Tom and Jerry<\/em> with the scurrying music.<\/p>\n<p>The Photo provided fayne waynes.<\/p>\n<p>We picked over Poor Little Rich Gays recently seen, all in their way impossible. The loathsome Limpney\/Smallmeals &#8211; do you remember them? Very much forgotten but not forgiven by me. Some years ago I challenged their hysterical diarisation. I said I didn\u2019t care to be invited to Massivebury, their country estate, six months in advance.\u00a0 They responded by tearing down that house (if you recall we tried to save it, without success) and throwing it into a pit as well as refusing ever to speak to me again.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s said that if you\u2019re trying to therapise the disturbed you must not breach their defences (not quite clear how to therapise in that case, but never mind). The full diary, of course, provides a wonderful vista of occupation and belonging. Best to keep it up.<\/p>\n<p>The Photo Multi became confidential. His glory is that he allows himself to be completely known. He has no guile and accepts no confinement. A day or two later, Sebastian Archer, who was hiss and spit with the Photo for some years (if only the <em>News of the World<\/em> had hacked in there) by e-mail said: \u2018You\u2019re quite bossy but&#8230;\u2019 Some, either lesser or themselves unruled, can only see a barrage of money and an uncompromising love of market forces. But the full sweep of extreme extremes is remarkable and fully displayed \u2013 bouncy, affectionate, welcoming, gleeful and delighted by colour and shape, hence graphing non-stop; also shrewd and insightful, as well as bold and self-knowing. Of course, Poor Little Rich Gays should not expect an easy life. The Photo confided that he went a bit far with Fergus Strachan in the affair of the 7 euros for the packet of fags. Sometimes the underlying vulnerabilities of PLRGs occasion a locking of horns. But Poor Little Rich Gays are not bitches. They do not mercilessly blame others. In the end there is reconciliation without loss of grandeur or only small loss of grandeur.<\/p>\n<p>The alarming thing is that the Multi Riverside Penthouse has been back-syllable lopped: it\u2019s down from a Pent to a Pen. Yes, a pen, such as contains sheep. The howling wind on the twelfth floor is a drawback. I sense it won\u2019t be long&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Come back tomorrow &#8211; masses to tell: what Val saw on a bus&#8217;s side, Bruce MacBain&#8217;s curtain agony, the Gay Mother, 87, and her rocky walk in the riverbed &#8211; not to mention my sales purchases, their display here long, long overdue; next week and the week after that after that we have massive boardings for abroad.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2456\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2456\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2456\" title=\"DSC_4838a\" src=\"http:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4838a-650x431.jpg\" alt=\"Last-Minute PLRG-Style: Both Items in Stock \" width=\"650\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4838a-650x431.jpg 650w, https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4838a-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2456\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Last-Minute PLRG-Style: Both Items in Stock <\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2457\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2457\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2457\" title=\"DSC_4854a\" src=\"http:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4854a-650x431.jpg\" alt=\"How Things are Done Last Minute PLRG-Style\" width=\"650\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4854a-650x431.jpg 650w, https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4854a-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How Things are Done Last Minute PLRG-Style<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2455\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2455\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2455\" title=\"DSC_4855a\" src=\"http:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4855a-650x431.jpg\" alt=\"A Decorative and Nutritious Last Minute 1st Course\" width=\"650\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4855a-650x431.jpg 650w, https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4855a-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Decorative and Nutritious Last Minute 1st Course<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2458\" style=\"width: 507px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2458\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2458\" title=\"DSC_4858a\" src=\"http:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4858a-497x750.jpg\" alt=\"The Back-Drop for the Last-Minute Dinner at the Home of Me, Adrian Edge\" width=\"497\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4858a-497x750.jpg 497w, https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4858a-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC_4858a.jpg 1848w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Back-Drop for the Last-Minute Dinner at the Home of Me, Adrian Edge<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday 21st July 2011 I\u2019m now at the Gay Mother\u2019s but it was last Friday actually: the Photo Multi messaged \u2018What are you doing this evening?\u2019 I said: \u2018Come round.\u2019 \u00a0As he always says, \u2018The truly powerful are always free.
