14th September
Now that I've decsribed our work colleagues and neighbours, it seems only fair that, at this point that I should try to describe what The Director and I are like:
The Director is mostly quite clever but he can sometimes be a tiny bit like Mr Bean. There are as many as three pairs of glasses on his head at any time. Invariably a pair falls off and he treads on them, or the pair in his pocket gets crushed - his path is littered with spectacle body parts. He likes shiny camera-related objects and dead animal remains - our house is full of fossils and skulls.
Impossible to describe oneself, you can see from the banner that I wear reinforced underwear and have a penchant for pointy hats and big skirts, I am also very keen on food. I asked The Director to describe my inner beauty but had to discard his first attempt, mainly because I took exception to phrases which included grumpy, abrasive and cow. I also think stingy is a little uncalled for. I am trying to control a budget here, so yes, the arrival of another lorry-load of camera lenses, tapes and computer hard drives will raise my volume a notch.
I asked him if I resembled a fictional character or screen icon, I made some suggestions: Audrey Hepburn, Gina Lollabrigida, Isabella Rosselini…? He thought a bit and said 'That girl from the Peanuts cartoons - Lucy'.
