Get It Straight, Or Say Good Night

Tahiti (dear diary and pics)

Dear Diary,

For the trip we were all given aliases Mr McCartney was Mr Manning; Mr Starr was Mr Stone. Their companions were Miss Ashcroft and Miss Cockcroft. Mr Lennon was Mr Leslie and his wife, Mrs Leslie. Mr Harrison was Mr Hargreaves, and his girlfriend became Miss Bond. 

Manning and Stone, Ashcroft and Cockcroft were to holiday in the Virgin Islands; the Leslies, Hargreaves and Bond would go to Tahiti.

Stupid names, none of us can remember them any way. And John wants to be bloody Bond, if he touches Bond he'll have a concussion!

Any way, Pattie and I packed wigs for disguises. John and George decided to put them on teaming them with their khaki green oilskin macs. Proceeding to make a little comedy 'a la goon show' 8mm film about natives on an island with a missionary - John - who comes out of the ocean to convert them. Geez they're both silly, gave everybody a good laugh until John tried to pick up Evie and she screamed blue murder because her father looked like that new singer Cher. 

 PS. to the above: John just informed me it wasn't a comedy....... I won't bother to point out the obvious.

Our Tahitian crew are happy and helpful and, much to our delight, have no idea who the boys were, just look at them like the lily-white Englishmen they are! 

The cook specialised in potatoes cooked a different way each night, which means John and I will go home considerably fatter. It's all bloody fabulous!

Photo's and pic of postcard- in case Paulie doesn't get it then I have proof I sent it!

My heart xxoo
