random Thursday afternoon in full, Art Deco Glitz and
            Glamour  complete  with  head  feathers  and  cigarette
            holder. What an exotic life he must think I lead!
           I’ve never seen a facial expression like it before. It was like
            delight,  shock  and  bafflement  mixed  together  and  he
            started  sort  of  bowing  and  backing  away  while  still
            looking at me like I was Royalty or something!

           If anyone sees me dragging a suitcase up the Street whilst
            dressed  as  a  1920s  Flapper  Girl  today  please  don't  call
            Hill Crest. I’m not "having an episode" and I don't need
            to go for "a special rest" I am genuinely off to a costume
            party!

           Everyone at the Gatsby night THANK YOU so much for
            inviting me / including me and for such a great time.
           I’m sorry if you guys didn't believe me when I said there’d
            be very little chance of me making an 8.30am breakfast
            meeting!
           I guess some of you don't know me that well yet! I did try
            to forewarn you that I probably wouldn't make it but I
            think  most  of  you  were  too  busy  swinging  from
            chandeliers and having a Prosecco fuelled I-Pod Disco to
            absorb  any  sensible  information.  Thank  you  ever  so
            much. I hope you had a brilliant time and I hope I can
            join you again (but not for breakfast - clearly!)

           I  seem  to  have  become  one  of  those  so  called  "Social
            Butterflies"  -  flitting  between  an  endless  sequence  of
