‘Slightly Critical’ more likely 🤷‍♂️

Back in an unseasonably warm Cape Town (it’s mid winter 🤷‍♂️) after 5 weeks in Paris and the UK and you’ll all be glad I’m now available to solve the most pressing issues of the day…🙈

There's a video out there of the guests singing "Happy Birthday," and one of the process servers is standing in the group behind Rudy. And he's singing.
