21 June - 27 vs 37

Hurrah! Call the fitness regime off! Jessica Rabbit may not be coming on holiday with us after all. She's been offered event/PA role for the Rolling Stones gigs in Rome for which she would earn €3000 in 4 days. Not bad and that's before any thank you banknotes, and worth postponing her holidays for. But her b/f’s b’day falls within our original holiday time so what to do? I suggest she takes the gig and sticks it in her CV of budding media lawyer with extra curricular skills. After all he’s always complaining she earns no money to put towards the refined dinners he takes her to (he has very expensive taste) and as he never manifests any signs of jealousy despite the fact she’s a head turner and receives plenty of offers, then he won’t worry if old Mick may take a shine to her.

This way there won’t be any holiday arguments about him sat reading Proust for hours under the umbrella and wearing a shirt (delicate northern skin) and she wanting to go and 'Have A BIT of life for god's sakes’ as she says in her best ‘I need passion and excitement’ Sicilian tone.
I could write further about the perils of going out with a ‘I need to see the world and get dirty ’ 27 year old when you’re an urbane and erudite 37 year old who appreciate fine wines and food before anything else … but I won’t. Some of it surely is self explanatory.
