Buffy - imagine how you'd be feeling if it was Christmas tomorrow and you were going to see him. Really try to imagine how you'd be feeling about it. Are you looking forward to it? Are you dreading it? However you feel, go with it and have no regrets.
Ooh, Barbra Streisand's on the radio singing Papa Can You Hear Me from Yentl. I LOVE this song but it makes me want to cry
And on that bombshell (as another ideal man of mine, Jeremy Clarkson, says) I'm going to log off. My shoulder and wrist hurt and I've hardly been using the pooter. Need to take it easy cos I don't want to end up back on the painkillers.
Toodle pip for now

yes it was, and yes I did. I shook his hand. Made my year because I idolise him. He looked at me like I was a nutter - must have looked like a crazed fan or something
