WEDNESDAY AM This is it! Am taking mostly designer skiwear,

and of course my Kate Middletoninspired fox-fur hat. Mummy forces me to take something for evening even though we will be staying in a hut with only huskies and a bloke called Joakim for company. She says, ‘You never know, Joakim might be a bit of a catch.’ Leaving after PMQs. Limo to the RAF base, private jet to Norway, light aircraft to the glacier. Hoorah!

11 PM Ny Ålesund arctic research station — 3.5˚C. Fngers frozn. Cant type. Dave went hotel Oslo. Joakim diving for snail samples. All alone. If anyone finds this note, pls make sure Sesame goes to a good home where there are other ponies for company....
