Dear, you've made it very clear that you don't know what you're doing. Please don't spend more energy than necessary to convince the world that you do.

This is exactly what we love you for. No shame is necessary. That only makes things worse for you. You could find it necessary to cancel this whole thing, and not a single heart here would turn away from you.

You are accidently what the world needs. Even when you feel insufficient.

Love your writing Nerina, thank you for making me smile in what, at this end, has been a thoroughly haphazard kind of week. I also braved central London yesterday, dodging the two sets of marchers and mobs of Chelsea fans; on the way home to North London I treated myself to a half bottle of champagne to compensate. Except: when I opened it later, the cork flopped out with a feeble sigh of resignation and the champagne turned out to be off, in a neat metaphor for the week. I can't wait to see you at the Albert Hall in a fortnight, and COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

Wasn’t the atmosphere in the centre of town weird yesterday? I really didn’t like it, couldn’t wait to get out again. I so relate to your champagne experience - hopefully we will have occasion for a whole bottle on the 24th….🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

There was a really unsettling something-unpleasant-is-brewing atmosphere yesterday. I beat a retreat as soon as I could too; it seemed as though everyone had become a replicant, just blankly barging me out of the way without a backwards glance at every turn. I have *everything* crossed for a good outcome on the 24th, and look forward to being able to unclench my jaw, breathe properly and having a normal heart rate again when it's all over🥂 🙏🤞

Break a leg. (No-don’t…)

Enjoy the gigs, have a great time & so will the Bar Staff & Ushers. And the Audience Obviously….

Truly hoping that one day in the future, Rihanna releases "Bitch Don't Piss On My Parka". I can imagine it being a hit with the mayflies on TikTok 🤣

I have managed to sort out accommodation for the weekend of the RAH show, as I am at Mighty Hoopla the day before and a good mate of mine is kindly putting me up on his sofa bed. Looking forward to both immensely (although I suspect I won't be rocking up to RAH in a T-shirt of either Cher or Patsy Stone. Unless you would prefer me to?)

If you don’t wear the Patsy Stone t-shirt to the RAH I will know it in my bones and be sad….😬😂

In which case, sweetie darling, Pats will be at RAH. Even though she hasn't eaten since 1973 🤣

PS Don't be too blue, it could've been poo...

You made me chuckle and I needed that today. 💜

Hmm, looks as though all the piss has shrunk your parka to an adorable Clive fit. 🐶🌊

As I think I've mentioned in the past...DELETE THE EMAILS AND START AGAIN! You will never ever read them and all they do is cause you anxiety. 🔥

I absolutely love your musings and so looking forward to the RAH!! ❤️

First…Clive in a coat!! 😍

Second…my 509 unread emails and 43 unread texts are impressed with your game.

Third…if we don’t get a rendition of this new spontaneous hymn to the gods (complete with strings) at RAH, I will be forced to be disappointed.

Fourth…puppy class is perhaps one of the most humbling experiences I’ve ever been part of. Congratulations on you all (coat included) making it through mostly unscathed.

Champagne for all, except Clive, who has to wait until graduation.

The show will be brilliant, the audience will be rapt, and it will all go down a treat.
