Wednesday 16th January 2013<\/p>\n
Absolutely wrung on the wrack – Miroslav here, the dust – sitting in the drawing room this morning, I see the rear hearth coated with fine filth. Nine dine this eve, so vac and dust as well as cook, scrub, lay, polish, chop – then a duvet cover, being ironed, was marked in four places. I’m sure the building dust. Four times returned to the laundry for the Vanish bar. \u00a0The fourth time, I wailed, screamed and howled in the bathroom mirror. I don’t think Miroslav heard.<\/p>\n
Could meet the fate of Andrew Marr at any moment. Just crack internally. Jam up within and suffer an axe -ing of the capabilities.<\/p>\n
I’ve been meaning to tell you about Marcus Cargill’s lunch on 2nd January in Brighton. He is England’s leading clock-mender, of course, his home a haven for antiques. A gentleman arrived, possibly in his sixties, in a top class fuchsia jumper, cashmere, not bobbled and no bits. ‘I love my wife,’ he declared in the drawing room doorway. ‘But she’s as stubborn as hell. Won’t go near a doctor. Cold been raging for weeks. Now she’s collapsed.’ This was his entrance. He then produced a sack full of wonderfully optional presents. ‘Do you like port?’ he inquired of Marcus, who rather does. He gestured to his open bag. ‘Well, you can have this.’ There were quite a number of items available on this take-or-it-leave-it basis.<\/p>\n
The circle in Brighton is so sophisticated, so free, although the talk was mainly of dogs. Sister Wendy Beckett barely got a look-in (‘She’s a fraud,’the fuchsia Glory swiped). A national treasure was present, with a rare brown dog. She said a friend’s dog had recognised her voice on the radio when she broadcast to the nation before Christmas a lampoon of a certain Christmas tradition favoured by morons.<\/p>\n
Afterwards I went round to Eddie Sedgewick and Simpson Passmore’s (the latter the MP (Labour) for Whirly and Lorraine). Sadly now their dog, Heather, has died. Eddie is distraught. I hope my visit wasn’t too much for her. They showed me their Christmas cards from Ed Milliband and Mr Bercow. Milli’s showed him and family before a very middle-class marble fireplace. I said to Simpson, who is Labour: ‘Our stockbroker is Granny’s cleaner’s niece – so you’re getting somewhere with your equality.’<\/p>\n
Eddie gave me news of Lionel Moore and Eric Vaughan – some of the oldest known Poor Little Rich Gays. Lionel’s 94, still bickering away with Eric. They knew the Queen Mother, Hardy Amies, Ronald Reagan and Claudette Colbert. And LARRY, OF COURSE. Eric once set fire to the Hotel Hassler in Rome. \u00a0The TV shows they produced! The homes they decorated. Eric talks entirely dirty.<\/p>\n
Lionel would go out in the most fearsome ice and snow last winter, Eddie said. Nothing would stop him. Joan Plowright didn’t come over though. She’s nearly blind now. Lionel’s passionate to save Brighton nude beach – maybe it has been saved, or concreted over. I’m out of date.<\/p>\n
Be a Poor Little Rich Gay and never grow old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
