Kat My Very First Girlfriend’s and Sybil her Civil Partner’s opinions of Conservative Jeremy’s pics which I have just emailed to them:
Suki! These are great. “Finds me hideous”? I’m not so sure about that. I think he’s captured a lot about you, which means he’s seen it… Sybil likes the so-called ‘fat’ one best. She says “tell Suki to put some weight back on” because you were looking a bit thin at our wedding. How’s the novel coming? Got any more poems to send us? We love that.
Happy Christmas – you on your own? Best way. xxx
A solitary Christmas is actually what I need for getting the rest of Victoria’s amendments done. Christmas Day will be just me and champagne and ‘Melanie Alone’. I’ll have to pretend to the village that I’ve gone away though, or they’ll all feel sorry for me.
