Sunday 8th January 2012<\/p>\n

I haven’t forgotten about Lord Arrowby – I know you’re aching to know what progress was made with my fatal or not so fatal part-time love interest.<\/p>\n

Just now, it’s all passion spent. I’m wiped out by the whole thing. Lord A in person has removed to India.<\/p>\n

But he’ll be back.<\/p>\n

Last night, Laura Malcolm ‘curated’ (the Photo Multi’s term) a 70s Retro dinner in her massive Bruce MacBain designed glass extension. She had a sudden wen for prawn cocktail,\u00a0 baked gammon with pineapple ring, duchesse potatoes, peas and red cabbage, followed by Baked Alaska. Her frock was what the Gay Mother would call a ‘certain shade’ of turquoise, a kaftanesque creation reduced at Monsoon to \u00a319.50 (‘I can’t think why,’ Laura said). Her husband, Matt Driver, who earns more than loathed Robin Smallmeal, head of landfill in this country or whatever, ( Matt manoeuvres the Nation’s shopping habits while it’s not looking)\u00a0 had been to a vintage clothes shop and bought a Zara slim-fit 70s style shirt (so not a real vintage at all).<\/p>\n

We drank Blue Nun and Black Tower, until the Multis arrived and we switched to Bollinger. I sat next to a hedge-fund manager (the looks and money at the dinner, and the second homes: but Laura won’t have any arse with the money, so that never got through the door). I said, ‘Have you got \u00a350 million for my mine?’ You may not remember about my mine, but it needs 50 million – just so as you’re aware.\u00a0 He seemed to know astonishingly little about the Baby Jesus but that was because he spent \u00a3100,000 on his son’s Bar Mitzvah at the Natural History Museum.<\/p>\n
