Remember me this way

I would just die to have a tomb stone like this.

In New York

I was at the Chelsea Curzon last night watching Lourdes (sick girl gets cured and has shag) and I saw the trailer for Sex And The City 2. I am so excited I cannot wait for May 28th I will be a the first showing on the first day of release. Despite my affection for the dark arts I really just want to be Carrie Bradshaw..

Don't give up your day job

Tomorrow at 9am I am starting to write my first book. According to my new mentor, the accomplished author Cousin Annie, the only day to start a new book is a Monday. Books started on any other days of the week are unlikely to be completed and even if they were finished, unlikely to be optioned. I have been working on my notes for at least three years; well actually they have been under the bed maturing for at least that long. I have had one or two false starts with this project, fear of paper, fear of failure, fear of litigation, fear of success but really the truth is I am an ace procrastinator. I sit down to write and before I know it I am cleaning the skirting boards and believe me I am not on the good housekeeper of the year shortlist. Still, it was encouraging to discover this quotation by Oscar Wilde ‘Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.’

Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live.- Mark Twain

I have a bike – I got it so I can ferry my ancient Chihuahua to the park and back as her rickety short legs seem to struggle these days. So far the furthest we have ventured is to The Chocolate Society in Elizabeth Street. Other than that we have just been practicing on the cycle path beside Green Park. We are really wobbly – I nearly knocked off someone’s wing mirror on Eaton Square earlier, I am sure it would have popped back into place but we decided to leave the seen of the crime sharpish just in case.

Couldn't put it better myself

Intolerance

Well so much for a permissive society then, it seems to me that all you have to do is break the law and you are branded a criminal!
