Anti-climax
Posted by dulwichmum on Wed 1 April 2009
Thank you so very much to all of my lovely chums who have emailed this evening to check if my Lord and Master has returned home, safe and sound, to me in Dulwich. There has been so very much anxiety here regarding impending anarchy and the G20 sumit. James travelled to work this morning in the company limousine; he feared that the trains would be cancelled. My man alighted close to his office and then popped around the corner to complete the journey sporting a torn rugby shirt (a minor fall in Chamonix on a skiing trip with a client last year), un-ironed Ralph Lauren chinos and Timberland boat shoes. James convinced himself that he was as inconspicuous as Swampey’s brother, but it is hard to blend in with a group of stringy hippies when you are seventeen stone and six foot six inches tall…
When James returned home this evening he was ravenous. His minions had all arrived at the office prepared with packed lunches (I do not make packed lunches for anyone, and I dared James to ask our housekeeper Albena to make him one) as they knew that there was no possibility of tripping out for lunch. James telephoned me before leaving work this evening to ensure that his supper was already in the oven as he said that he “could eat a small child.” He is now in a diabetic coma, snoring on my Nicky Haslam upholstered sofa – bless (the children are safely in their beds)!
I travelled home from London Bridge this evening on the train with an elderly gentleman dressed as the grim reaper sleeping soundly, leaning on my shoulder. Apparently he had been up very early and had a busy day. The protests seem to have gone on in good humour. The photo is of some people dressed up as apocalyptic horsemen earlier at London Bridge. Their costumes were rather marvellous, it is a shame that shortly after this photograph was taken, two of them were decapitated when they accidentally caught their heads in overhanging plant baskets…

I was hoping you’d be ripping off your bra to protest – or was that another era? What year is it exactly? ……..

Oh daddy dear,
You really are losing your marbles sweetie. It is 1984…

Oh Darling DM, you are so courageous to brave the hoi-polloi. Well done you and I hope that James is so proud that he agrees with me that a little prezzie is in order as a celebration (wake) for capitalism.

Oh NOSM!
You know how I love gifts! I am sure James will agree…

Hurrah!
A very funny post DM, my how James has grown since I saw him!
(A good day for glaziers though!)

popped by to say hi and to catch up with what is going on in your part of the world. The G20 summit was on our news this evening, however the main bone of contention was a certain someone putting her air around the Queen!! Oh those friendly Americans!!
