Indeed you have milady. A boyfriend that is.
We are both very happy for you. Both you say?
It seemed silly to sit in New York when I needed to work out plans with Gretel Lederhosen. And I have an open invitation to stay at theirs.
So here I am in LA.
I had a quick chat with the Dashing Major earlier and we're gonna catch up later. His meetings are likely to mean he'll have some work for me so we can get that planned out.
Also I did drop in at short notice so I don't want to interrupt Hans and Gretel's plans too much. So grabbing dinner with the Dashing Major works well.
And I have a job for him to help with but I can't say much about that for now.
Through the day it's been in the 70s here - or 30s as you guys use centigrade. So a little warmer than New York and drier. I'm looking forward to a few days of sun. It'll make my disposition sunnier - apparently. So say Gretel Lederhosen.
She's currently working on a screenplay adaptation of some popular book or other. Nothing I've read. Period piece with bodices and tight pants as far as I can tell. She was happy for the distraction of my visit. Not her kinda stuff either but it's all the rage. Studios and streaming companies can't get enough of it apparently. But she's ahead of deadline so happy to take a break from it.
Hans Lederhosen is tied up with work as usual so I'm good company. Even if I do say so myself.
So we're planning on sitting by the pool today and looking at the guest list and arrangements. It's not going to be a huge affair. It's only for those on the east side so my apartment is large enough to sleep those that are flying in. She's having a separate party for those over this side. That's likely to be larger and thankfully nothing I'm involved in.
You asked if there was anything that you could bring as a present for her. I'm not sure it's helpful but Gretel says to bring her 'something very English'. I suggested that she might be getting a pack of tea bags and an umbrella but she says she has faith in you. Good luck.
I'm glad I decided to come out here. Gretel is a good listener like you. So I've been telling her about gramps and that stuff. She agreed with you that it was a good thing for me to be with him at the end.
Oh and it seems I have a storage unit of his **** to sort out. When he went into the nursing home all his stuff was stored. Anyway Gretel is going to come back with me when I head back and give me a hand with that.
Yeah she's a good friend. You'll like her.
Oh and just a heads up - Luscious Lydia is booked on a flight to New York. One way. So she'll be out of your folks hair in .... about ...... oh and off she goes. Flight is in take off.
The coast is now clear.
