Great news. Barry Perkupp’s sorted out some post for Lupin, and he’s going to go in and talk it through next week. What a relief. I went up to Lupin’s room to give him the good news, but he was in bed and looking dire, so I decided to tell him about it in the evening.
Barry Perkupp
Lupin said he’d joined a group called the Comedy Kings at the King’s Head in Holloway. He’d had a good night there, but he’d been sitting right underneath the air conditioning, and as a result he’d got a migraine. He didn’t want any breakfast, so I left him to it.
In the evening, I dug out a decent bottle of Cava in readiness for the big announcement. I charged our glasses. “Lupin” I said “I’ve some excellent news for you. Barry Perkupp’s managed to get you a job”. Lupin said “Cool” and we downed the Cava.
Lupin then said “Top them up. I’ve got some excellent news for you too”. I felt a bit uneasy, as did Carrie. She said “I hope we’ll think it’s excellent”. Lupin said “Of course you will! I’m engaged!”
Lupin said, “Of course you will! I’m engaged!”

Why shouldn’t
I publish
my diary?
I often see memoirs by people I’ve never even heard of and I don’t see why my diary should be any less interesting, just because I’m not a ‘celebrity’. I only wish I’d started it when I was younger.
