The Memsahib suggested we went to the theatre with Arabella and Persephone. It seems such a shame mixing with the public when our new home cinema has just been completed and we can watch at home. (The Memsahib points out that this does not cater for stage performances - and so it has been suggested we convert one of the rooms in the east wing into a theatre).

All this fuss about MPs' expenses is getting rather tedious.
I even read that one poor chap has been hauled over the coals for cleaning his moat. I find it a little odd that anyone should need to spend any money on this; as I write, Osbourne has just returned from giving my own moat a spring clean, attired in his frogman outfit and toilet brush in hand. He has broken all records this year - it took him only four days.

Second thoughts

On reflection would I really prefer a badly sung chorus of Billy Idols' Monet Monet, Monet Monet??????
