I don't think there's any 'Britishisms' here that I need to go through... unless you spot one or two. In which case, comment and I'll let you know what they mean. Photo above is of Cate Blanchett from last night's Oscars, and the dress is gorgeous. I've yet to see one I like more than this one!

"Happy Leap Day!"

"Is that a thing?"

"I'm making it one."

"Oh, ok. Well, Happy Leap Day to you too."

"Thanks!"

"You sound far too happy."

"I had coffee this morning. A lot of coffee! I'm on a slight caffeine high! But, shh. Don't tell anyone."

"Haha. Your secret is safe with me. Out of interest, how many shots of coffee did you have?"

"Umm - Mum! How much coffee did I have?- Oh, crap, she's frowning at me and shaking her head. I think I did something bad."

"You sound drunk."

"Drunk... high on coffee... Really, what's the difference?"

"I would imagine there's quite a difference."

"Difference, shmifference. Mum is still frowning at me. What did I do wrong? Daniel, have a word, will ya."

"No."

"For shame, Whitaker. Or should I call you-"

"No! No, you should not call me... that."

"That's a shame. I liked your nickname!"

"You're the only one."

"Nuh uh! Connie liked it too. She almost died from laughter as she told me! Daniel, you should have seen her. She was like a hyena!"

"I left you both in a room for three minutes and eighteen seconds. How is it, in that brief amount of time, you and my grandmother became BFFs?"

"Easy, Connie loves me! Which is more than my mother right now. Honestly, I don't get what I did to piss her off."

"Did you arrive late?"

"No."

"Did you forget her birthday?"

"No."

"Did you, I don't know, wear someone else's designs instead of hers?"

"Well, I am wearing Givenchy. Oh, I'll text you a picture!"

"Not necessary, Sophie."

"But... if I didn't text you a photo, how would you know how amazing I look?"

"Fine, send me a photo. I'll give it a cursory look."

"Cursory? I might not be in my right mind, but I still know what that means! It means you won't pay any attention. Pay attention!"

"Send the picture, Sophie."

"I am!"

"I am!"
