How many of you will be celebrating today! Alas, for so many of us we cannot, as we have to work, myself included (but then I enjoy my work so it’s not an issue for me…………. ).

Apparently, there is a campaign going on with a petition to make today a Bank Holiday and I have been informed that Britain falls behind many other countries when it comes to Bank Holidays.

Boris Johnson has organised a week of events to be held in Central London to mark the occasion which I think is important. After all it’s our Patron Saint isn’t it! Unfortunately, due to work commitments I am unable to partake so instead I am wishing all a very happy day!

Trafalgar Square will be the location for some of the events organised by good old Boris and this leads me to another very interesting story.

The Fourth Plinth at Traflagar Square

The fourth plinth, built in 1841 was orginally intended for an equestrian statue but was left empty for many years. It has hence been devoted to commissioned artworks.

This summer an artist has come up with this superb idea and that is to have a living monument on this fourth plinth! Every hour, 24 hours a day, for one hour a different person will be elected to stand on the plinth! This will take place from July to October. Members of the public are invited to put themselves forward and provided it’s legal then you can apply! Also, during your hour on the plinth you can do anything you like – you can perform, demonstrate or simply reflect!

So I gave it some thought and I thought how wonderful would it be to go up there in all my golden glory and stand up, proud and naked – a beacon for all escorts and mature women! Yes we are proud of what we do and have no shame! That’s the point I would love to make but doubt I would be brave enough! So, given the chance, would you go and if so, what would you do? !!!!

On a day like today though I guess it would be appropriate to dress up like St. George and get on a horse. Now talking about horses leads me to the subject of riding and where will that take you now as your imagination wanders………..

I really should try and keep this blog serious and without sexual inuendoes, but it’s difficult.

Happy St. George’s Day

So, I threw a suitcase into the boot on Friday and after a somewhat long drive (how many of us decided to leave London that day!) I arrived late at  night at my destination.

Oh, how wonderful it is to feel the sea air and I just could not resist a late night walk on the beach last night. I even dipped my feet in the water! I feel carefree and relaxed and this really is a much needed break as of late I seem to have been burning the candle at both ends (metaphorically speaking, as yet I have not had requests for candle wax torture!).

Life is so busy for all of us these days and it’s hard to take time out to relax, particularly in this time of recession and credit crunch, so these few days here in this secluded spot are going to do me the world of good. It’s not just a matter of resting the body, but the mind too.

I am sat here in front of a log fire, glass of wine in hand (yes – just the vino, nothing else!) and I realise how fortunate I am indeed!

I wish all a super Easter weekend and where is the damn good weather??

Well, with it being all doom and gloom of late, I was tempted to blog about recession and credit crunch, not forgetting MP’s cheating on us all with ludicrous expenses claims, but decided against that – I thought instead I would offer up a light hearted true tale of my encounter with a grumpy old man.

I was on an outcall the other day, at the request of a very nice gentleman who gave me specific details about where to park. He suggested I park somewhere along his road.

So, having arrived on time, I called my increasingly eager client (you know the feeling guys) to say I am here, just parking – to which he graciously replied that he would come and meet me or rather escort me! (Yes, I know more puns!). I then proceeded to steer my vehicle into a fairly tight spot between two cars outside a house. Now, it took a few turns here and there (no comments please about women drivers), but I managed, rather proudly, to park in the slot without too much difficulty. I am actually quite adept at squeezing into tight spots……….

Upon gathering my bag and a quick glance in the mirror to ensure I am looking my best (I always aim to please) I literally was just about to get out of the car, when I am faced with an elderly man walking out of his house staring at me. The stare turned into a glare. I opened my door and started to get out when he says “Do you need to park there?” I was somewhat taken aback by this and chose to say nothing and just looked back at him wondering where this was going. He then goes further “Why can’t I park outside my own house?” “What are you dong here? Who are you visiting?”

I was somewhat tempted to say “I’m an escort visiting a very nice man who is gong to get his rocks off soon and you best let me go as I don’t think he can wait much longer…………..” . I thought best not to though as did not want to cause heart failure to the said old man.

Apparently it’s quite commonplace, this typical old grumpy man/woman who feels that because he lives in that house then he owns that part of the road too. I was torn between saying something to the effect of I can park anywhere I damn well please, but being the respectful lady I am, I chose not to and took the option to move my car. Slightly tense, I was too, as I had informed the gentleman I was visiting that I had parked and he was actually on his way on foot to greet me, so I thought how will this go down.! He will surely wonder why I am pulling away!

I decided to give my client a very quick call to inform him I was about to move my car and why.

Grumpy then clearly felt bad and became all friendly and informative about where I could park. So my client turns up and jumps in the front seat and we found another convenient place to park. What a funny way to a first meeting………….. In any case it broke the ice, and we laughed about it, but that’s not all it broke…. . Seems that the bed could not take such a severe frantic workout,,,,,,,, say no more Alexandra, some things are best left unsaid and left to the imagination.

Good Morning All!

I was sorely tempted to play some minor hoax here and perhaps say – hey I am leaving!  No longer will I grace your pc screens!  Visions of me doing a Reginald Perrin and dashing into the sea naked spring to mind (come on, control yourselves now……….), but then I thought it would be unfair to do that as I would like to think I have some loyal followers who would be somewhat disappointed if that were the case.  So I decided against that. 

So I sat here this morning and pondered on what to write on this somewhat eventful day.  Fools Day it is and talking about fools, well politicians spring to mind.  Oops Alexandra that’s a bit rude isn’t it?  Well, I have to say that you cannot argue with me when I say that politicians do certainly try to fool us don’t they?  Expenses in particular raise an eyebrow or two.  Talking about expenses I am indeed pleased to learn that the Standards Committee are bringing forward their review of Ministers’ expenses from September to present day.  Wonder what that will reveal? 

It’s also come about that there is a leak from someone regarding Ministers’ expenses which is currently on sale for the alleged sum of £300k!  Oh yet again someone is making profit at whose expense?  Taxpayers no doubt! 

It’s no wonder that so many feel strongly enough to demonstrate today although I do sympathise with the city workers who feel threatened and indeed have been warned to dress down.  Whilst I am interested to see who protests and why, I am always disgusted with the thug element who infiltrate peaceful protests and have no regard for authority at all.  I do hope the protests are trouble free today and peaceful in all respects. 

On closing, I should apologise to any politicians reading my blog as it’s unfair to tar all with the same brush isn’t it.  I mean there are some honourable members amonst you aren’t there?  However, the saying too many crooks spoil the broth comes to mind too.  Oh dear, I really must correct the typo there or should I?!!!!

I wish all a wonderful day, the sun is shining and the Obama is in London!  That’s a good start for the day isn’t it!

Love to all
