Great Rusty pre-dinner moment; he got @RichardBratby’s attention by somehow wriggling into the curtain loop and then couldn’t get out.

The Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza by Andrea Palladio. The set at the back is by Vincenzo Scamozzi and made of wood - it was installed in 1585 and has stayed there ever since. We saw it behind gauze in this production of The Magic Flute. It must be fragile!

Stole all the meat out of my sandwich. Picked out and discarded the cucumbers. Unrepentant.

The man who finally makes you happy probably won't be your type. I know how that sounds. Think about how the last four ended. Same ending? That's one pattern wearing four outfits. Seven quick questions show which one is running.

# NOTES📓💷#OTD 1744 d. #SarahChurchill #DuchessofMarlborough. What a woman! Forget her closeness with #QueenAnne, she was more astute than that. Buying #SouthSeaCompany stock she realised the folly of it all & sold her shares before its 1720 crash & acquired 25 bankrupt estates!
