If I had the room, I'd get a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. I could probably get it into the garage at my council block, but I'd never get it out again. You feel isolated and insulated from the world when driving a?Rolls or a?Bentley.
I also like buzzing about in my Mini. I restored it from a shell. It's got a 1300 engine; it's painted in a Rolls paint called Wildberry, and it has a beige leather interior. Obviously there's a?sense of pride. People who see me in it don't know I rebuilt it, but they think, "Ooh,?there's a nice-looking Mini." At least, I hope they do.
I usually wear these trousers when I'm in the Canaries. But my?sister has been to stay from Toronto, and I wore them to afternoon tea at the Grosvenor. It?was the last place I took my mother before she died. I thought that while my sister was over celebrating her birthday, she'd better see where Mum used to go.
I don't like going out to eat. I like to know what I'm eating. Friday night is fish night. This week I've got some haddock in, so I'll lightly fry that with some seaweed, which I buy dried from Today's Living, a healthfood shop in Clapham. I'll have that with broccoli and carrots and a glass of?pinot or sauterne. I'll have Friday Night Is Music Night on Radio 2 on in the background. Wallpaper music, you could say. I?don't like silence.
