Arise, Dame Kate! - well not quite, it's Kate Bush, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE), but it is a long-awaited honour for one of the UK's most successful female artists in history...
To celebrate, here is not merely my fave Kate Bush song, but my favourite pop song ever - Running Up That Hill:
Among a hefty list of New Year Honours announced today are (of course) Olympians - among whom are Sirs Bradley Wiggins and Ben Ainslie, fellow CBEs Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah, Ellie Simmonds and Andy Murray OBE - but not the maestro of the opening ceremony Danny Boyle (who apparently turned down the offer of a gong); Sir Quentin Blake (illustrator), Arlene Phillips (choreographer) and Tracey-fucking-Emin CBE, and Stella McCartney OBE...
...and über-totty (and dream houseboy here at Dolores Delargo Towers) Ewan McGregor OBE!
New Year Honours in full
ewan is a doll.

Deleteinteresting...what we both see.
DeleteI see totty.
Delete"I see totty and there's no one there
DeleteI smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why
I wonder why
I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more, I lost my appetite..."
