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.
