What do you do with a few jars of Sainsbury’s Belgian chocolate spread?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

I know! Do what today’s client did and spread it all over himself and me. Not much of a mess was made. We’d put down two sheets of plastic on the bed and all the action took place on there. It tasted lovely but in the end it didn’t really spread that well the more [...]

Forgot to mention….

Whilst at the Museum of Natural History I stopped in the Charles Darwin gift shop and bought a fridge magnet which had  the following saying: “An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men”. Charles Robert Darwin I thought it was a good [...]

I had a wonderful weekend. What did you get up to?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

The start of my weekend was marred by the sudden death of Michael Jackson the day before. Shock doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt at hearing the news at a quarter to midnight last Thursday night. Even given his troubles in his personal life, there was no doubt he was a musical and [...]

So, um….the cricket.

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

The England women’s cricket team beat New Zealand to win the World Twenty20, whilst their male counterparts in the  same competition, well, didn’t. Well done the ladeeez. I’m off to do the happy girly dance.

Take advantage of me.

Tomorrow morning (Saturday) I have a booking between 11.30am-12.30pm. If you’re in the Belgrave/Victoria area say around 1pm, why not drop by for a visit? Obviously it would be good if you could give me some notice so I can make the necessary arrangements, so a call before my 11.30 booking would be ideal. As [...]

That’s the problem with being so long in this illustrious business.

Friday, June 19th, 2009

I’ve had the same “reasons” why I’m asked for details over the phone. I’ve had: .My computer froze, can you give me some more details please? .My internet threw me off, can I have some more details please? .I only had time to scribble down your number, can I have some details please? .I was [...]

So, Ronaldo’s gone for £80m

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

I have to admit, as great as he was, I’m not sorry to see him go. I didn’t see him in the same light after the World Cup in 2006 when, in my humble opinion, he was responsible, or at least partly so, for sending Wayne Rooney off in the quarter-final match. Remember that infamous [...]

This is why I love this job.

Friday, June 12th, 2009

The diversity of tastes and kinks that vary from booking to booking. Last night I had to play a seductress; a receptionist having my way with the office supply guy. The twist? I had to wear a pair of cream leg-warmers over my stockings and suspenders. Think Fame or ballet dancers. I also had to [...]

If you’re looking for summer reading…..

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

……may I recommend Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith. Winner of the Galaxy Award for Best Newcomer. All I can say is, awesome, harrowing, riveting, un-putdownable.

I give in….Manchester it is.

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

I can’t seem to stay away from the place, I don’t why. After juggling with dates and emailing a couple of my favourite clients up there, I find I’m on my way to Manchester in the summer holidays. I’ve had a look at dates and the 13th-16th looks best for me. I know it’s a [...]
