Friday 18th September 2009<\/p>\n
Lord Arrowby texted – a rare event, I can tell you.\u00a0 He plays hard to get – with me, at least.<\/p>\n
You remember him – very high up, some kind of government advisor.\u00a0 But\u00a0glamorous and blue-eyed beyond anything seen in government circles for generations.\u00a0\u00a0 In the Balearics, he says\u00a0(I’m copying from the text to get the spelling right.\u00a0 Lord A’s spelling\u00a0 faultless,you can sure of that). ‘With someone “new”? ‘I reply. ‘In Ibiza? ‘. I imagine some sort of disco holiday with\u00a0non-English ‘friend’. But no, in Mallorca (Lord A’s spelling), at a 5 star (hurray!) on secret business (probably something to do with identity cards). Not La Residenca either. That’s the famous Mallorca hotel where poor Simon Limpney was done in by the spa treatments and had to be air-lifted out by the armed forces or the fire brigade or both.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help it. All this going on on Wednesday while I was playing cards with Marcus Cargill and the photographer Multi at Marcus’s flat in Covent Garden. Was rather drunk. But Lord A so Mr Darcy-ish and reproving, too tempting to get silly. ‘Any treatments?’ I go. ‘Any waxing?’ ‘By the way,’ I text, ‘I’ve been doing press-ups in the mornings’. I’ve not mentioned this before. I’m trying for a new gay body in my fifties. ‘Maybe on the way home, at the airport, you’ll see some pants in my size.’ This actually a serious request.\u00a0 You remember my pants’ crisis still on-going from the summer sales when I bought Large. So saddled with bloomers.<\/p>\n
Lord Arrowby awfully frosty, of course. He’s just not that kind of Poor Little Rich Gay. But I think he likes the attention. I’m seeing him tomorrow at Borough Market, at 10.<\/p>\n
Can’t wait. Do you think he’ll be cross?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
