MONDAY

Off to New York with Dave and DD next week! Am working flat out on preps. First priority: which hotel? It’s the Four Seasons versus Soho House. While East 57th Street says ‘statesmen-in-waiting’, the Meatpacking District says ‘modern, vibrant and cool’. This is what Jed calls a Fork in the Road.

Meetings set up with Rudolph Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg, Tina Brown and Robert De Niro (subject to confirmation). No word yet from Hillary. Surely she will agree to a top-secret informal breakfast summit?

Have just heard Poppy is coming too. Am  trying not to see this as undermining me but rather that we will be glamorous power pals, a bit like Sex and the City only with brains. (Needless to say, I am the free-spirited Carrie Bradshaw, and she is the prim one obsessed with finding a husband.)

TUESDAY

New office is chaos.
