So, your daughter tells me that that you don't believe that I exist. And just when I thought my week couldn't get any worse... Just when the Press break the news that I've really been away serving in Afghanistan, now my existence is being brought into question. Even the Taliban were never this cruel.
I really don't know how to prove that I do exist. Judy tells me that I exist. Only this morning, she told me that I'd existed too long in bed and I should get up before Cilla arrived to help Judy with her music lessons.
Bill Oddie told me I exist when he rang me to ask if I'd be interested in sponsoring a bumble bee for the new SpringWatch Pollination Challenge. He wanted me to sponsor a bee for 50p per bloom but we settled on a penny per stigma. He then asked me what the noise was in the background. I explained that it was Cilla singing one of her old hits while Judy backed her on the trombone.
I also know I exist because I'll be soon modelling my pyjamas over at Nourishing Obscurity's Great Night Wear Parade.
So, Lola's Mum, the evidence would suggest that I do exist but if you require any more evidence, check out Monday's show. I'll give you a very special look to camera just after the first break. You'll know it's me because I'll nod my head and give you a wink as I introduce the next segment.
All my love,
Richard
