Horse Auction Update

The Auction of the fibreglass Arabian Horses went off exceedingly well. We crashed into the couple responsible for the entire gig in the supermarket today, and they said they had raised well over one million dollars at the sale.

The auctioneers themselves were splendidly entertaining. No less than the Chairman of Christie's South Kensington and the President of Christie's Europe, they were like very posh car salesmen. They had arrived in Dubai at 10 o'clock that morning and were due to leave at 3am after the gig

My tux was quite entertaining also. The trousers had no belt loops and I had no braces, so I had to be a little bit careful when walking around, because the girth of the trousers was about a half-inch more than the girth of me. So it was quite useful that I had this adjustable cummerbund (oh what wonderful things they are) to hold everything together!
