[working day] two halves of my job

Some of you were curious just exactly who I work with half the time and when one of the girls came up to me today with this photo, [that's Diana far right], it was a good chance to show you. Of course, usually they wear clothes.

When I explained that I have a certain number of Brit and American blogfriends who'd like to see this particular photo, she said: "OK." But be warned - it works both ways - she wants to see your comments as well.

By the way, all of the above ladies are going in for a beauty contest at 20:00 on May 17th, at the Hermitage, if you'd like to get along there. That's what this shot was about.

Unfortunately I have a prior engagement with you all that evening.

Now, for those curious about who I work with the other half of the time - here's the Ministry party below [the interesting part]. Hawk-eyed readers will have spotted that the lady on the right is the same as in this post.

It's a tough job but someone has to do it.
