Reasons I am not Margaret Thatcher, part 498-500

498. Four hours sleep a night is nothing like enough.

499. My hair is recalcitrant.

500. I really fucking hated Pinochet.

This message has been brought to you by the third straight week of nights that are too hot for sleeping.

You should definitely buy an underground eco-house with round windows and doors if you plan on staying in Aus any longer. How tall is J? I find men get very tetchy if they keep bumping their heads though. Our summer house in Finland was clearly built by tiny hobbit people, as the original doorways are about 5, 8", so we all have to duck through from one room to another. My brother is for some reason incapable of remembering to do this and consistently comes out of his duck too early and thwacks his head. Holidays there are punctuated with the phenomenon of finding a 24 year old man curled in a fetal position on the floor in a doorway, swearing blue murder, having hit the same sore spot on his head for the nth time.

Appealing as a hobbit house is though, I think you should both move over to Europe, where the climate is more sensible and you'll be closer to MEEEEE! (also to many other cool people).

He is 5'11", so it would need to be the sort of house that is carved into the side of a hill. Happily, there are a few of them about. I, as you know, would be comfy in a Wendy house with sufficient mod cons.

Estonia is looking more inviting by the year, especially as one of my very dear London friends is marrying a Latvian this year. That and the ability to visit you easily in two locations means that I have become more serious about my real world writing in a bid to secure funding without regular work.

Have you considered a padded beanie for your brother? Or a stylish cycle helmet?

Off to shower again, and then to sleep. More or less ...
