Mrs Cameron's diary

Well Dave said not to put in about Sarah Lund and The Killing because future generations won't know Lund is this detective in the uber-cultish Danish series of that name, but I think it is actually fairly historically annoying to be compared to a person with no bag or hairstyle, even if Dave thinks that if she had some decent accessories and fashion-forward clothes and some beautiful children plus an alpha-male husband, a nanny, a proper kitchen, a creative job and a personal trainer Lund could be hot like me. And it is definitely worth putting that I would never say in public that I have been calling Dave Troels, or sometimes Troelsy-babes, and saying tak which is Copenhagenish for thank you, because it does not remotely impress early adopters and now Anya will not stop calling me Lund and asking who keeps nicking Farc's Post-its. But it is a shame for Anya she can't see the whole mood board moving towards a more sombre greige/pewterish/Nordic/knitty/Killingesque/dried-blood/Bergmanny/Let the Right One Inny kind of vibe as a reaction to all the brights which are actually getting so tired.

Anyway I would like to see Lund chairing Farc's street party sub-committee which is truly beyond nightmare, with Picklesy going greetings ladies may I sample one of those whoopie pies, do tell Miss Goldberg they would benefit from a tad more lard, and Emma Gosford-Fellowes fainting every time he says scown instead of scone and Anya getting all sniffy about Tamara's Swarovski-sprinkle brownies, the few Picklesy did not eat. God knows why Dave made him teas minister because he knows nothing about baking, I mean how bizarro is it that the whole cupcake story totally passed men by? Govey has literally never seen a cake-pop and Professor Ferguson could not give me the date Hummingbird started the cake revolution, when even Tamara knows it was 2004, and as for Cleggsy, I asked which topping he preferred and I said to Mummy, are we seriously meant to take lessons in voting from a man who doesn't know the difference between frosting and fondant? Someone really ought to tell the No campaign.
