The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Maybe longer.

The reason for my vagueness is that it involves hospital … an operation … a person very important to me … and a horrible memory plus, of course, the rawness of losing our dear Rosie that adds a whole other dimension of concern and worry.

[I’m also being deliberately vague about who it is, because they don’t want their situation known by all and sundry]

And while I’m sure this op will go brilliantly – and is a very different situation to the one that ignites panic in me – it’s still something that causes me anxiety, both because I love the hell out of this person and any op involving a general anaesthetic is scary.

But it is – and will be – for the right reasons, so we just have to see how it goes.

Or they do, because after the op, they then have to contend with having me look after them – which is a whole different level of scary. So with that in mind, I just know there’s no post for next week and then we’ll see how it goes.

So to end this week on a high/laugh … enjoy these 2 photos of errrrm, me.

In China.

Being interviewed by the news, business and fashion media.

The first is a photo of all the journalists before they interviewed me.

I think I may have shown my lack of professionalism when I asked if I could take a picture of them as my wife would “find it hilarious”.

The second is what happened when passers-by saw the TV cameras and journalists and wanted to see what was going on.

Given I was at the opening of the latest SKP-S extravaganza, it was rammed with people.

So yes … all those people are there for me. Kinda.

You can just see me in the centre of the photo – hahaha.

I can only imagine their disappointment matched what 20,000+ Metallica fans felt when the band once linked a post to my instagram and suddenly they all started following me … only to soon discover that rather than it getting them closer to their idols, they got subjected to copious amounts of cat, colleague and kid pics.

So 18,000 left. Very, very quickly – hahaha.

But hey, at least none of them would be as confused as the World fashion media were when, back in 2019 – at the opening of the incredible SKP-S/Gentle Monster store in Beijing – they came face-to-face with this …

And you thought it was bad being close to me through this blog!

See, you get off lightly basically.

So have a good weekend and I really, really hope I get to bore you again with my rubbish in a weeks time.
