Queen Camilla

OMG. Have just discovered that a guy I work with (who I thought was Polish, but who is, in fact, very very English) is second cousin to Camilla Parker-Bowles.

What am I? Blissfully ecstatic. And, as you can imagine, my mouth simply wouldn't close.

At the end of the Spanish Inquisition, I simply couldn't control myself:

'Arrange a luncheon will you?' I added.

'Yes, alright' he said, in a very blase fashion.

The trouble is, tomorrow is his last day at work.

Sod's law, in't it!? Just as I discover a stepping stone that'll lead me quite firmly to Camilla, it threatens to sink beneath me.

And I just had to show him the book I'm presently reading (and thoroughly enjoying), 'Queen Camilla' by Sue Townsend.

Well...he smiled. And then went on to tell me that she had read it and really enjoyed it.

See, the ideas I had about her weren't based on misplaced lust after all. That she is a dignified, intelligent lady with a great sense of humour is truth. TRUTH.
