EDITOR DES…HIS LIFE; WRITTEN BY HIMSELF!

HELLO DOWN THERE FROM  EDITOR DES….AKA ME!

OH MY WORD, THIS IS A BIT CREEPY!

Presenting – Mr Editor Des!

OK…to celebrate my  birthday I thought I would tell you  a little bit about myself.   I was actually born in China,  but I think my parents sold me ( I know, how could they part with someone so adorable?)  Boo hoo, they probably live in a zoo.  Well  I might try and find them one day.   Anyway,  on February 23  2000,  I was adopted by   Pauline Conolly and her husband Dr Bob, so I use that date as  my birthday. My darling godmother Vonnie told me I was born in the Chinese year of the dragon; which means my strongest character traits are; LUCKY, FLEXIBLE, ECCENTRIC, IMAGINATIVE, ARTISTIC, SPIRITUAL CHARISMATIC.  Explains a lot really.

I lived in Sydney to start with,  and the first  really exciting place I remember going was to was  the 2000 Olympic Games.

What was she thinking?? Can you spot me on the right?

Yes, I was  very  embarrassed about  what Pauline wore, but what could I do?  My green and gold was far more restrained and  tasteful.

And after that we went to America and then to Europe lots of times. I always seem to be packing my suitcase. I wear my English jumper in the UK, except for during the cricket or rugby. Then it’s on with the green and gold.

How much more can I fit in?

IN NEW YORK ..PAULINE HAS A THICKER COAT THAN ME! 

Travelling makes me feel very insecure because I sometimes get left behind.  You know that baby who was left in a handbag at Victoria Station in the play by Mr Oscar Wilde?  Well Pauline pretended to leave me in her handbag when we were in London. Very funny…. NOT! When I do get left behind Pauline just looks a bit sad and says she will  have to replace me!  (yes..she does!) Dr Bob  glares at her and goes off to find me. He is such  a treasure.

Some people have a warped sense of humour.

My favouite food is porridge…natch! And puddings.

Ready to eat  delicious  pudding with my friend Little Jack.

Yum! Take-away porridge. I eat it wherever I am in the world.

My worst fault used to be smoking, but I’ve given up.  Otherwise it’s being disrespectful to a certain person.

I became an apprentice editor  at a very young age and now I want to be an author like Pauline (only much better, which won’t be difficult).  I’m writing an unauthorized biography of her. My girlfriend Milly is helping me with the research.

We found all Pauline’s old school reports in here. Hahaha.

Well I also help Dr Bob-the-builder quite a lot. You might say I have several strings to my bow. Oh #!*#$!, that’s a cliche isn’t it? And me an editor!

All set to help Dr Bob.

When I’m not working I like exploring the village  and  riding my bike down pres…precipitous paths in Pauline’s garden. I am utterly fearless, and never wear a  helmet.  I also like canoeing on the Thames when we are in England. No life-jackets of course, but Dr Bob can swim.

Down I go!

I can’t be bothered telling you anything else now.  It has been a big day, what with my birthday and all.  I wanted a motorbike or a  red sports car  but I didn’t either of those. Do you know what I got? A picnic basket! It’s quite nice…made of wicker . Those bottles of wine might only be cordial, but I’m  hoping not.

It was a bitter disappointment, but Milly does like picnics.

A  picnic on the lawn.
