So after a big day, I finally pop back to my hotel to quickly check on my emails [and see your comments about George and his ‘choccy-botty’, ahem] and find this from my Mum.
I have spent almost two hours reading the contents of your blog. I loved it! It is so entertaining, interesting and funny.
What I loved even more was your photograph at the end. It made me smile.
It is so wonderful that you have such lovely colleagues, with the same sense of humour as yours and that you can all ‘insult’ each other with avengeance!.
Yes, I know, THOSE words-well, I have survived and I certainly would not let them put a negative slant on your very good diary.
Enjoy your incredible experience of being in India you lucky man and let me know what you think of the magical Taj Mahal.
One thing that makes me really happy is that you notice, understand, appreciate and respect the culture of Asia. Enjoy everything and take care. Mum xxx
Now I knew I had a cool Mum … afterall she is a SKYPE using-video-conferencing-Russian learning-Art Class following-Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer lovin’-Writing appreciation adoring woman … but the fact she can read my blog – even with THOSE words – and still enjoy it, is cooler than cool.
So could everyone please say a nice ‘hello’ to my Mum as she is bound to be mortified about this ‘publicity’. [God, this Taj Mahal visit has affected me hasn’t it. Better send Andy here next time!]
Right, off to my [or should I say ‘our’] Futures Bright dinner. God I am sooo over lentils!
PS: Mr Mortimer – any news on what you emailed me?

And I loved that photograph too. Stunning.

Comment by Katerina February 28, 2007 @ 10:20 pmHello Mrs Campbell, I am very sorry you have had to read about my stomach problems in India, but not quite as sorry as I am that I had to read about my stomach problems in India. All the best.

Comment by Jemma King February 28, 2007 @ 10:35 pmGood afternoon from Munich Mrs Campbell. You have some splendid looking hedges there. I sometimes use THOSE words but your son was good enough to point out that I should apologise when I do.
Comment by Marcus Brown February 28, 2007 @ 10:53 pmWhat a top Mum you are. Hello to you from me.
Comment by Pete February 28, 2007 @ 10:57 pmHello Fiorella, hope you are well, you certainly look it.
Comment by Wayne Green February 28, 2007 @ 11:25 pmI think Mrs Campbell should start a blog!
Comment by Rob Mortimer February 28, 2007 @ 11:29 pmA wise alternative to Rob’s ramblings!
what a great idea. how about it mrs c? it could be called mutterings about a mad son.
Comment by andy @ cynic March 1, 2007 @ 12:00 amHello mum!
Comment by Angus March 1, 2007 @ 1:16 amHello Mum … and I can say that as I am your ‘true’ child. I know you’re probably very emberassed about all this, but don’t be, it means I’m proud of you. Rx (PS: Hello Angus, hope to hear more from you soon – though I’d understand if I didn’t, ha)
Comment by Rob March 1, 2007 @ 2:20 ammaybe its a byproduct of the taj mahal visit or maybe its because its robs mum, but has anyone else noticed no swearing has occurred anywhere on this post despite mrs c saying she could handle it? thats amazing and scary. are you amazed and scared too?

Comment by Rob Mortimer March 1, 2007 @ 8:02 amHello Mrs.Campbell, I work for your son in Singapore and want to say you’re a super mom with a super son.
Have a lovely day.
Comment by Hari March 1, 2007 @ 10:24 amHello Everybody! Fame at last!!!
Thank you for all your comments. It was a pleasure ‘meeting’ you all. It was a bit of a shock to see my photo (I look as if I was 74 years old – oops, I am!) and my email on line, but I should have known better, being Robert’s mother.
Love to him and to you all and best wishes to people-with-poorly-tummies.
Fiorella x
Comment by Fiorella Campbell March 2, 2007 @ 10:20 pmI haven’t read Robert’s blog all week (until today), but I just want to say that your son is a truly great guy, so I’m not surprised at all that he has a fantastic mom.
Comment by Mark March 3, 2007 @ 4:02 pmMark you are too kind – and obviously bored – but I’ll take the compliment because it makes me feel good and makes my Mum feel proud, ha
See you very soon …
