Intercontinental bowels

November 21, 2010

As the day dawned less than sunny, I suddenly remembered a reason why I could not play golf today, although it took me some time to think up recall exactly what it was.  It is an odd coincidence that I remember an excuse a reason on those days when it is less than sunny, but I just cannot explain it. This will of course cause me to rewrite the sheep fetishist story about Steve Weston, so beloved by the golfing fraternity of the REGS, and so expected of me after the usual post round drinks at the 19th hole.

Tomorrow is the big day and I feel so sick with anticipation at flying out from terminal 1 at Nice airport for Australia, I might almost call it a terminal illness. A 24 hour flight via London and Singapore awaits, I am nervously excited about the series to the extent that my bowels are some disarray, I suppose you could them intercontinental.

Last night I was so determined not to be dragged into another social occasion that I turned off my phone, I had expected a quiet week with that nice lady decorator in the UK but it has not gone according to plan due to the combined efforts of the Wingco and Wayne from FRday, an MP’s wife, a beautiful American, HSBC and Currencies Direct. They are all to blame whilst as usual I am blameless.

My picture today is an example of art photography at its finest. Just point the camera at the sun and call it art, that is what most arty photographers do. I just need to come up with a pretentious description after which I will consider substantial offers.

This photograph is called cataclysm. It represents the rebirth of Jesus as a feline lighting up the world around her in a beaming shaft of light. That will be £5000 please.

I discover that Anna, editor of Riviera Woman,  must have a hitherto undiscovered perverse sense of humour as she has agreed to publish my misogynistic article about women in business.  I have also discovered that she was a DJ in London for 17 years, but quite how she made the leap from that career to publishing a girlie magazine (as I think it could be described) remains shrouded in mystery.  I think I will suggest that she start another magazine called Riviera Man, after all, I suspect that after publication she may be looking for gainful employment in pastures new.

I am asked to remind all my readers of the Xmas fair at the Bastide St Mathieu on December 2nd.  That nice lady decorator has signed up to run the champagne bar on the day, which of course will preclude it making a profit, on the basis of one for me one for you…  Those that know her will realise that she can drink her own weight in champagne in under 2 hours, as long as she starts slowly.  There will be lots of Christmas type goodies available and Currencies Direct will be sponsoring the event, so I shall be available to sign autographs, and to save people money on currency transfers before Christmas.
