Yep, with the problems I have been having with my workplace and with my mental health problems, you really do find out who your friends are, the ones who stick with you no matter what and believe in you. |

Yes indeed - I've been very lucky and you know what - many friends would have drifted away out of my life - it's so easy for that to happen - if this weird drama had not unfolded in 2000 and on 9/11 when my trial started ("Haha - British justice is not affected by minor global events Mr King"... quote from my barrister that day when I queried whether minds would be concentrating on whether or not I wanked someone off 35 years ago).
So many past friends got back in touch and are still around, every day, because of what happened to me then, prompted to express support and solidarity.
Behind every cloud there is a silver lining. |

I've had to have a new toilet in my house (the old one decided 42 years of King shit was quite enough and expired, complaining gently) and at the same time Boris decided London has had enough water in the pipes and men have been digging up the mews (the old Victorian pipes are incredible rusted antiques) replacing them with blue plastic ones.
Noise, holes (very deep), yellow plastic pads to enable access across the troughs (I expect Nazi soldiers to emerge from them at any moment), diggers, men in hats....
Thank God for Keith McNally who came over from New York to take me to lunch at the Wolseley (very good) with our old friend Iain Burton (Simon Cowell's first business partner). And my dentist who put in my new gold bling today. And Tommy who is accompanying me to the Van Gogh exhibition. And Oscar nominated multi superstar Lynn An Education Barber with whom I'll be sharing a celebratory champagne flute over a meal. And lovely Jane Moore (read 65 - she plays a big part) at the table next to us...
It's been quite a week. Teach me to take time off and laze about in Morocco.
Sounds a lovely lunch. Friends and family make life worthwhile in my view. What a wonderful selection of friends you have. |
