Finally women being recognized for their psychopath tendencies. It was about time we broke into that field 😂

Loved this - made me laugh. Definitely, yes to the Japanese ambassador; ("hotter than the Algarve"? Seriously?); Bush House then used to belong the brilliant BBC World Service ...

The Japanese Ambassador should appear in the next Paddington film!

I didn't know that about Bush House, the building is definitely imposing and can see it as the home of the BBC World Service.

As for the weather news last week every newspaper headline claimed we were about to roast like sardines and that the UK would be hotter than the Algarve. It was a bit of an exaggeration in my opinion. This week is hotter than Rome and Barcelona, depending on the media you check. A few weeks ago it was Ibiza and Greece. When did we stopped using degrees as a measure of temperature instead of popular European destinations?

Would definitely be there for the Japanese Ambassador in the next Paddington film. Think the weather is a form of desperate wishful thinking - you see, we can play with all the (hot) locations too, you know…

Hope someone approaches him for a cameo : ) We already have a working title: Paddington in Greece (hotter than the UK) 😂

I was influenced into purchasing Missing Person online without even a pre-whiff (based on hype alone), for once it worked out! And in a world of men gone mad, thank you for introducing me to the Japanese ambassador - what a dude.

Doesn't he look like someone you'll want as a friend? I've found out his previous post was in India and he was equally enthusiastic about the culture, definitely a great guy. Missing Person is now on my wish list but I have too many perfumes to justify it. Maybe next year for my birthday, but I need it badly.

This is exactly me with perfume buying (I don't need more!) BUT to be the devil on your shoulder just for a minute - I got a travel sized one.
