Coup de Foudre

Wham bam boogie

It's a Coup de Foudre

And possibly coups de foudre too.

Who'da knowed?

Thursday 7th November..lucky for some

Hello Secret Diary I guess it's time I updated you.
As it is my 'secret' input/output it will have to contain a smidgen of inscrutability.

Talking of Japanese... Had a wonderful day with Nippon TV filming me for an upcoming section in their series called "World's Astonishing News".

That's all I'm allowed to say as it is embargoed until release.

But I have my own Astonishing News in that something quite remarkable has happened out of the blue and most unexpected. And this is where the inscrutable remit occurs.


This old silvery bird has been pierced by Cupid's arrow.

(Obviously I've had to blur the lovely fella's features as there are some who stalk my blog who will possibly read all the wrong things into this and may go out of their way to attempt to spoil it for us)

And as it progresses it gets better and we get closer.....

But one must live only in the moment. So no forward plans.
Except to remain happy, optimistic and make sure I have a big belly laugh each day.




Thanks for reading my blog..........

Wow...2.5 million Japanese will be watching me soon - plus George Clooney 多分

Well, well and a big woohoooo...I'm going to be watched by 2.5 million people!!! 

I've been asked to appear on a Japanese TV prog

Check their blurb in their pitch to me: 

"The programme introduces astonishing real-life stories and current affairs from all over the world. Estimated viewers of 2.5 million".

They want to film me being interviewed in my home (think product placement folks, lol) about my rare pancreatic tumour, called an Insulinoma,  which I survived.

Altho ..wait......maybe they're interested in my 'astonishing real-life current affairs' hahahaaaa.........George Cloonery etc (I wish, lol) 

 Click here to see CG filming with the GC (ClooneySwooney)

It's all done with mirrors

OOOh George! you bad boy...... :)

And then back to reality.....

Anyway that'll be THREE progs I'm contributing to in the upcoming months....

2 about my documentary on the Man rescued from the Thames Quicksand and now this medical issue. 
Isn't the internet great? ....people can find you....

The stats are that only up to 4 women in a million in a year in the UK get the sort of tumour I had. I was told by the docs that I was 'one in a million' which I rather enjoyed....before I realised what I was up against. 
However, I believe that it's most likely more like a hundred thousand women who have it........it's rather a silent tumour.... but are misdiagnosed or never correctly diagnosed because not enough (hardly any) research has been done into this rare condition....It's only the size of a pea. . ........

So this is my chance to help the women of the UK .........my sisters......xxxxxxxxxx   Make them aware..........

From the Daily Mail Comments section.....

Thankyou for reading my blog.......X

Greenpeace please petition to get them out of jail

Meanwhile, whilst we're all having a jolly old time please spare a thought (and send an email to the Russian Embassy) for the Greenpeace activists who are holed up in a Russian Jail for trying to save the future of the Arctic.

RIP Richard C.Sarafian............Menoirs

Ohmigod........I found a cardboard tube today at the back of a wardrobe and inside was this rolled up pic of Richard C. Sarafian the director of cult film Vanishing Point.

He'd given it to me in 1970-71

So I thought I'd post it on his Farcebook page. 

When I went to his page I saw that he has just died. :(  

How terribly sad.

When I found him again in 2010 on FB I got in touch and here below is the correspondence between us.

  well well well
  

  omg Richard, it IS you. aka Big Dick from Detroit. (your name for yourself) (But looking incredibly trim these days).

  I re-found you a few years back & we spoke on the phone but you had no recollection of me:(

  I never forgot you. Charismatic man with a wonderful sense of humour. And your pet line was: "I'm just going to straighten out my axe"

  To remind you.......we had a big affair (well.big to me....you were happily married with 5? children & other men's husbands have never really been my thing) when you were doing post-prod on Vanishing Point in London. You rented a mews house behind Grosvenor Sq. We had loads of laughs and you thought I was fuckin funny..which I am!!! LOL

  What a memory I have! I even remember the rope handrail on the stairs in your mews house.!!

  Anyway dear boy, I sincerely hope that life is good for you and that you are happy. I never did breathe a word about us. Even tho a 300lb man on top of me sometimes did leave me breathless!! hahaaaaa

  My very best wishes to you. Cherri x

  PS.....you were the first Armenian I ever met......they're all over the place now;)

  Big Dick from Detroit!
  

  Big Dick from Detroit has fond memories. How's your son? Your life? We hit a few high notes. I hope the years haven't changed you.

  God bless,

  Richard

And so dear Richard has slipped through the departure gates.

RIP dear man...........He was a gorgeous big teddybear of a man.

I have to say, I never understood what he meant when he said he was going to straighten out his axe. What he did actually say was

"I'm going to straighten out my acts" LOL

He was very very funny............xxxxxx

Oh dear! I've just realised what I said in our PM's. I said other men's husbands!!! instead of other women's husbands........Doh! lol

(I WAS very ill at the time.......:)

Richard Sarafian, influential director, dies aged 83

It's 8:00am and I've already achieved rather a lot in terms of sorting stuff.
Plus I'm enjoying IOS7 on the iPhone (I waited to upgrade)
Even the slight irritation of having to log on each and every time I do anything. But the brill thing is that if the phone goes AWOL no person can open it or use it.......And there's lots of useful stuff ......

Happy Bunny innit

News on the one-armed bandette (edited)

Well poor cowlette Browski has been having major dramas with her broken wrist scenario. Back and forth to hospital. Tears. (and not just from ME having to do all the skivvying......LOL)
Surgeon wanted to put a metal plate in her wrist but it wouldn't be very good for her qigong.  (she's a qigong teacher).  
She's also a piano teacher so having a broken wrist, that was none of her making, is no help for tapping the ivories. (Someone accidentally slipped and fell into her in Hawaii knocking her headfirst into a rock. She put her arm up to stop herself smashing into her face and the wrist got crushed on impact.......OUCH)

if you click here you can see what qigong is.......
What is Qigong? It's a healing art

Interestingly Browski has not caught my shite flu which is still hanging around albeit in diminished form. Tis annoying the heck out of me being under par. It's a week now since it started. 



I'm awake in the middle of the night (2:00am).........decided I needed to block several ppl on FB........hahaaa..some not even 'friends', but I get the feeling they may be viewing my page and I don't really want them to see all my pics n stuff...and for some odd reason that I can't really fathom.......it couldn't wait till morning!
lmao 
I am such a weirdo.

Then I spotted that a poor chap on FB had died and I didn't even know and he was such a nice fella. But I don't know what he died of............and that is fairly frustrating. 

Here's Browski in her alter ego of Alice Ai when she had 2 arms in working order.......

Almost Happy............

And let me tell yoooooo.........I'd be more than almost happy if I had a slave like me!!! Hahahahahaaaaaaaa

Everything is beautiful.........

When I'm out amongst the beauty of flowers and nature I seem to forget that I have a cold, the flu, manflu.
It all goes away.......(the feeling of illness)

Today in Battersea Park.........The big fountains were not on but these small ones with the pretty flowerbeds in the distance and Battersea Power Station playing its prominence......all good.

Sketch I wrote for Benny Hill

Great to see it's up on the internet.  The sketch I wrote for Benny Hill about a pretty bride wolfing down all the cakes at her wedding reception and getting fatter and fatter. The groom (Benny)  then scarpering and the guests and bride all chasing Benny.   

Benny referred to it as my Fat Lady sketch.

Here's the postcard he sent to me from Spain in 1976 telling me "Your Fat Lady is going into show 1, & should be out in Jan"

Hello World

I'm kind of liking the fact that people in China and Russia are reading my Secret Diary...........

I learnt Russian at 16 because I thought that Russia would take over the world one day. 

Здравствуйте, друзья мои по всему миру

My Russian teacher had a speech impediment, from a war injury, so it was really hard to learn. And there were 33 letters in the alphabet. All tongue-tying. 

Я говорю на русском, но только мало сейчас


Maybe Putin is pleased with my Twitter comments. 
I know Bill Cosby was.............lol.....he favourited my Putin tweet.

Sample of my blog stats today:

Have a great Friday 13th my friends. Ciao изящных :)

Exciting news today

Can't say what it is but would love to shout it from the roof tops.

Beats falling down the stairs on a bus 2 days ago and injuring my coccyx. Sodding driver slammed on his brakes after flying past my stop. My companion, I won't say who, laughed his head off because he fell down the stairs too and saw me flat on my back and thought it was funny.  (Yes it's deeply cool to travel by bus in London)
Can't say more cos I may be making a claim .........All those annoying texts I get from firms saying I had an accident might well now be utilised. 

Friday the 13th tomorrow.   Doesn't mean a (bad) thing.........Gonna have a fab day being dynamic and erm......... wotever. 
Bored now showing off..........got a filmette to make. 

Life is good..........ish

Let it be beautiful

Today I will not allow my day to be blighted by woe-begetters.
Get thee behind me Satans........(not that I believe in Satan, nor that I would trust him/her not to stab me in the back, the front and up the nunny most probs).

Last night I had a beautiful dream. I dreamt of being in love.
Yes I was in love. I was about to make loving love with a loving man who loved the f*ck out of me.

He was there protecting me from evil and evil-doers. (Could have been my Guardian Angel Gabriel who promised me protection all my life when I had a visitation from him in my childhood).


The feeling of being in love was just sensational..........quite impossible to describe really.... as you know. A warmth permeating my soul.
