Mona and her family were at
BG's today half watching a French musical, half having a post-pizza snooze. We went straight into BG's room and she showed me all her new favourite perfumes (there weare so many that I ran out of body parts on which to spray them on for a sniff); Then she pushed her closet doors wide with a kick and pulled out some
Pull & Bear shorts that she said I should buy; Next, she showed me some cast iron wood pigeon bookends and an antiqued wood frame that she said she bought from the
Robinson's sale; And then I sat (gingerly) on her bed to study some photo albums from two decades ago. Horrors. Everyone looked so young then!
I left an hour later with a bag of reading that BG wanted to chuck, including
Interview (
Carey Mulligan - who is she???) filled cover to cover with cool people I don't recognise and am not interested in; The
Penelope Cruz-edited
Vogue Paris; Eight issues of
Real Living (I've never heard of this title before); Two issues of
Martha Stewart Living; Last month's
Men's Non No (I can't remeber the last time I looked in one, although there were years in my life when I bought every issue!); And two issues each of
Vanity Fair and
Time (these my father can read). Then we went out to look at BG's plants which forms a thick screen that hides his door. A single passion fruit hangs like a jewel from its serpentine twine, green and glittering like a jade fruit.

BG is such a character :) How are you, Kum Lan?
