Dear Mummy
I have just started shooting my Greek movie
On an island so beautiful that it remains nameless
I play Cindy the younger of two sisters
Who is a vain socialite although a good Catholic girl
They have rented out a dreamy villa with essential views
My sister Rachel is the plainer of the two characters
And not as liberated as I pretend to be
The only trouble is that I have a naked scene
Which I am told is essential to the plot
(this movie is so fucking languid as not to have a plot)
(sorry for the French mummy but you get my point)
In short your beautiful daughter is sunbathing naked
When she decides to pour herself a cool drink
(Comedy Alert)
Rachel has prepared a selection of sandwiches
Which Cindy finds a little puzzling at first
But she soon finds out why they are there
When Rachel’s fiancé and his mum and dad
Walk into the beautiful stone kitchen
There is a sense of awkwardness which Cindy is oblivious to
And to make things worse Uncle Malcolm who is Simon’s father
Begins eating the cheese and cress sandwiches without thought
He compliments my suitably suicidal sister with the compliment
I cannot believe that it is not butter
My agent has said that my bum is pure box office
And that the scene was written especially for me
As I played Saint Teresa of Avila in my last movie
I know that Pope Leo liked this movie very much
But I am not sure if I will receive an invite to the Vatican
After my current movie is released later this year
Till Then
