Last night I went to the opening of the Patrick Lichfield exhibition at the Chris Beetles Gallery. Joanna Lumley, much loved by all, introduced Barry Humphries who officially opened the exhibition. Barry is of the old-fashioned school; he had obviously taken some considerable time preparing a speech about his old friend Patrick Lichfield and his admiration for his work, but more than that, the speech was witty, informative and full of wonderful anecdotal stories. Very hard to see the exhibition last night as there were so many famous people looking at each other rather than the pictures. But I particularly liked the photograph of Susannah York and another of Marlon Brando in deep conversation with Charlie Chaplin. It's fun, and well worth a visit.

Mr Archer,
Hope you have enjoyed your time with our much loved Aussie legend,
Dame Edna. A true living legend.
The Royal Society for the Blind received an autographed copy of your latest book to use at a future fundraiser. Thank you so much. I gave a copy to my mother for 'Mothers Day' as you are a favourite of hers.
Oh, my little mate 'Chester' says
"G'Day mate". He's going great guns! Thank you again, Mark
