Saturday 2 December. A photo shoot in the morning for the new TV show I'm doing (still called Fortune: Million Pound Giveaway), then on to lunch with my son and daughter in law at Lucio's, and back to the flat to enjoy England's excellent start in the second Test Match in Adelaide.
This evening Elliott Bernerd (my daughter-in-law's father) threw a wonderful Italian dinner party, having flown in a chef from Rome. Sixteen of us had the most amazing meal, and the guests were really entertaining. It was the first time I'd met the great architect Lord Foster, and was fascinated as he took us on a journey around the world talking about his latest projects. His amusing wife had only one interest - seeing if I could get her tickets for The Sound of Music.

Mr. Archer,
I have just finished reading your latest and as usual i couldn't put it down. Your books have traveled with me through high school, university and now family life. I only hope that my daughter will love your work as much as i do.
I hope that you come to Ottawa Canada for a reading so i can hear you read in person. What a joy that would be.
Thank you for writing.

Contratulations on the new shows in which you are featuring. I was lucky enough to be in the audience for the first filming of "Fortune", which looks like a really good show. It was very interesting to see how these things are done. The other new show "The Verdict" sounds extremely interesting - like that old programme "Crown Court" with a celebrity jury! Good luck with both these ventures and any others upon which you embark - and congratulations on a well-administered comeback!
Dear Lord Archer,
Well done on another wonderful book. I especially appreciate the magic touch added by the amazing talents of Ronald Searle.
By the way... I too was at Adelaide Oval for the second test of the Ashes... I was quite worried up until the 5th day. My commiserations on the outcome. It would have made my year to meet with you as well as win the test. Oh well, one out of two isn't bad.
Kindest Regards

Many thanks for all your very kind comments, which are much appreciated. May I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
