((((all))))

I should say that the Picasso was not a big or famous one but it was very nice- sort of red, and blue. I was tipsy so didn't even get a proper look at it after the initial pointing out that it was the one I liked best (there was also a Matisse and some other stuff, but I wasn't paying attention as it was well out of my price range). I think he paid a few thousand pounds for it, but don't know exactly how much either. He took it with him to the club and then just forgot to pick it up or to check it into the cloakroom or something. I wasn't paying attention really (champagne effects), so as you can tell (Jeff!) being gifted that kind of thing doesn't really move me, although it makes an unusual story! I'm glad you liked the dress- when you visit I'll show it to you in real life.

There's snow here tonight. Austin and I ended up doing very little shopping and a lot of chatting/laughing over coffee and dinner- she's going back to Austin on Wednesday so we had a lot of talking to do.

naej- I've decided to file the D. It's been brewing for a while and I'm fine about it. No regrets.

Sunshine- we'll have to co-ordinate colours, and consult with the features editors of imaginary OK magazine on outfits. I'll keep you posted, although I guess as it's imaginary we can do what we want!

Good to see you all. It's late here so I'll try and catch up on threads this week.
