So much to spend, so little time….

Pats, sweetheart, I don’t know what make you think the blog is “Hazel-proofed”. The only reason I haven’t stopped in here for a few days is that I’ve been so busy getting my hair done, checking out Carnival costumes for next year, and looking at upholstery fabric swatches. A minister’s life is full of responsibilities. I don’t know where you find the time to be online so much all of a sudden. But that’s always your story, eh, one craze after another. Vaps! you dream about a tall building, so for months is only skyscraper this and skyscraper that. Vaps! you dream about a smokestack, so the whole country must get involved in smelter and anti-smelter and Tantie smelter, and look all the trouble that cause. So now is the internet. Have mercy. Good thing all this happen after the budget done read, else you would have put in some kind of blog tax or something.

Anyway, you nearly make me forget what I log in here for. I don’t know why you gone and put the 3D artist renderings of the new interior designs online. Now every Tom, Dick and Oma could see what the inside of my boudoir will look like once we move into the new imperial palace–ahm, PM’s residence. But you know what? Looking at the photos on the blog, I suddenly realise gold and ivory are not really my colours (except for jewellery and bathroom fittings of course–tee hee). Hence why I spent the weekend slaving over those fabric swatches with the design team I had to fly down on very short notice from Las Vegas in the private jet–by the way, cloaking device or no cloaking device, is only a matter of time before somebody let something slip–somebody like your friend Mr. Valley–and then everybody in the whole country find out you went and bought the private Gulfstream after all.

So as I was saying–me, Fabio, Gianni, Giovanni and Paolo spend the whole weekend locked in my, um, office going over the designs, and we come up with a whole new colour scheme. They tell me jewel tones is the thing these days. Sapphires, emeralds, rubies. Plus we feel the old design a little too plain, too simple. You know, we’s the Prime Minister, so we have to set a certain standard. Anyway, the new 3D renderings should be arriving on the jet by the end of the week. This time, try not to let them leak. The only thing is, ahm, the designers’ bill going to be a little higher than previously expected. You know how it is with these projects and their cost overruns. So we might have to organise that fundraising breakfuss after all…. Also me and Fabio might have to make a short trip to Italy to source some materials–you know, marble, alabaster, jade, onyx, that kind of thing. So my private secretary will be in touch with your private secretary shortly with the dates for my Official Visit to Investigate Educational Innovations in Southern Europe. I might miss a couple cabinet meetings, but that’s nothing.
