Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 06 September 2008

Monday
Everyone’s gone Palin crazy! Poppy, Jenny, Lucy and Ellie all came in with their hair teased into frightening up-dos this morning. I might have to go through Mummy’s wardrobe and see if she’s got any hairpieces left over from the Sixties. Must say, I find this Sarah woman deeply scary. I don’t mind that she thinks the earth is flat — this sort of daring new thinking I find quite refreshing. It’s the picture of her sat in an office draped in dead bears and mooses that worries me. I’m as partial to a bit of fox-hunting as the next Tory Girl, but I’ve never much liked staring at the dead bits afterwards. Am starting to worry this makes me a Napper (Not A Proper Republican). On the other hard — is shooting mooses environmentally sound? Or indeed Compassionate? Will seek guidance from Mr Barker. He’ll know whether we are meant to enjoy killing animals or not.
