Flew to Amsterdam for the launch of the Dutch edition of False Impression. It felt strange launching the novel in Holland in the same week as launching the hardback of Cat O'Nine Tales in London. Spent most of the day in interviews and signing sessions, but the highlight of the day was a visit to the Rijksmuseum, to see Rembrandt, along with many other Dutch masters. The museum is being renovated which seems to be taking as long as it is to build Wembley Stadium. Returned to the following day, to find that Australia were beating us up (cricket).
In the evening, I went to the Savoy to conduct an auction for the Simone Cowland Trust, which was hosted by Martine McCutcheon, whose heart and soul was clearly with the charity. Thanks to the generosity of many of the Trust's friends and supporters, the auction raised £108,000. The top prize was a long weekend in the Caribbean on a fully crewed 95ft yacht, for 8 people, which went under the hammer for £30,000.

Dear Lord Archer,
You refer, in passing, to Wembley Stadium and the disgraceful delay in its building. What a pity you had not been involved in the planning. I'm certain you would have seen it delivered on time.
Best Wishes.

Respected (Dear) Lord Archer
I am continously being amazed by your quality of writings right from Not a Penny More to Not a Penny Less till Cat ' o ' Tales .It has sometimes made me wonder what takes a man to write like this..
I wish to add at this point that even Shakespeare nor Milton havent impressed me the way you have..
Hope you will reply to me.
Thanking you
