Earthquake - yikes

Been outbid on Ariel mermaid wig, again, dagnabbit! Had my Tina Brown moment at restaurant today, and managed not to say anything insensitive (at least I don't think so - hard to tell as people are so diplomatic). In the end there were only seven of us, so it was quite nice - I might even do it again (although not in the same restaurant as there was a bug in my salad)...

Apparently there was an earthquake on the Tibet/Nepal border this morning, which is a little worrying, to say the least. My earthquake strategy involves buying lots of silk and cashmere and having lunches out and trying not to think about the whole disaster-of-biblical-proportions thing.

Tonight Twin 1 is having a sleepover with Jasmine, and is being replaced by 'old' Maya (as opposed to 'new' Maya - there are lots and lots of Mayas at the school; think it's the name of choice for parents who work in development), who is having a sleepover with Twin 2.

Son is not sleeping over with anyone, but he says he doesn't mind because all he wants to do is look at Google Earth on the computer. In fact I promised to hand over the laptop twenty minutes ago, so must go now xxx
