Entourages

[poliphilo]

Another thing I don't really get are entourages.

To be followed everywhere you go by people who aren't doing it because they like you but because you're paying them to be at your beck and call- and never to have a moment to yourself- that would drive me crazy. Listen, I don't need someone to fetch me a cup of tea or file my nails for me; I can do those things for myself; it's even good for me; it's exercise...

Rich people spend their money on the weirdest things.

No, I wouldn't fancy huge grounds, even with being able to hire people to do the work. I actually like what we have now, which is about 120 square metres and we are on about a third of an acre and that is more than enough for our needs.

It would be nice if we had the funds to travel more, but we have done a lot of travelling and if no more is on the books, well, we won't grieve over that. But it is just small things along the lines of "it would be nice if we could ..."

We have several acres here at my mother's house and it's nice to have them to stroll around- but they need looking after and they're a responsibility and when we move from here I don't really want anything more than a pocket handkerchief sized garden- if that.
