Okay, VB has released some make-up with Estée Lauder. They said I could go to her office for a chat, about eyeshadow and stuff. Total win. I got on a bus and arrived.

Victoria and I slunk into a small room, and once I worked out how to use the Dictaphone (genuinely more complicated than space travel), we were off.
