Baby Love, My Baby Love...
Aug. 13th, 2005 09:50 pmEverybody's having babies! Just received the call that two of my best mates are due to Sprog (together, that is) in 6 months time... they've only just got married! Of course I'm delighted for them, yet, for entirely selfish reasons, slightly depressed. This is mainly because:
1, I barely ever get to see them these days anyway since they moved miles and miles away, and now I'm going to see them even less.
2, It means that I am now officially into The Baby Age,
leading to...
3, I really want one, yet...
4, I can't afford one, I'm in a crappy job and a tiny little rented flat and don't think I'll ever be able to afford to buy even a teeny tiny little house, which I really do want before I start Sprogging.
However, we have now been married for nearly a year, and Sprog Commencement Deadline is Hubby's 30th. He is now 28. Hmmm... *ignores cute booties in Mothercare*.
The Performance Art was OK to begin with, but by the end I did find myself sitting in a room watching grown women dressed as Chavs and Clowns pretending to throw fits and cuddling irons to the soundtrack of amplified yawning. Ho well, I was in a Brecht Opera when I was 17 in which three cleaning ladies took each other apart piece by piece, so I suppose what goes around comes around. Rabbitrabbitrabbitrabbit!
Oh, and since I told you yesterday about seeing Lucy Benjamin, here are some more famous people I've seen by accident:
1, Michael Buerk, in a cafe near Broadcasting House.
2, Jim Broadbent, who very politely asked me to leave.
3, Lesley Joseph, who is tiny and smells like the inside of a Whore's Handbag.
4, Vic Reeves, in his car which his Missis was driving, since he has been banned.
5, That bloke who was a Nazi in Allo Allo and one of the Barbers in The Two Ronnies' barbershop sketch in a Greek restaurant in Nottingham.
6, Barry from Eastenders at a cashpoint.
7, Jenni Bond going into Henry's at Covent Garden as I was leaving it.
I did also meet Alexei Sayle and John Hegley (both top blokes) at book readings, but that was on purpose. Orlando Bloom's mum is forever coming into my office to talk about her boy/sell her car, so it's only a matter of time... hope I do get the chance to meet her, because apparently she's a right nutter! My best friend has bought Johnny Ball a pint, though (Guinness). I think that wins.
And tomorrow, I'm going to the zoo!
