A trio of baby squirrels kept spooking each by rustling in the leaves so they all shot up the tree in blind panic. It was rather like no 10 but they are fluffy rather than racist. Only two are pictured here.

You spray the papier parfum onto the paper. At once paper is being sold as a bottled scent but also being given away as a netrual substrate to carry the smell of itself. Just a wild glitch.

Sheer pleasure! Rinaldo has this remarkable density and economy where not a single bar goes by without delighting. Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen absolutely dazzling – it suits his voice so perfectly you'd think it were written for him. However no midair bicycle handstands, unlike the last Rinaldo I attended.

It is insulting to anyone's intelligence that Sir Keith thinks we will believe he has learned anything new

Figaro again tonight. Especially when written for several voices singing at once, Mozart's music taps some deep well of humanity in all of us. Some last-night magic musically, but oh how I miss the Grandage production set in the 1960s with disco dancing and that little red sports car

As always, my squirrel friends left me thinking of Montaigne. Sylvia came down from her tree eventually today for a nut, looking most resplendent.

This squirrel is definitely asking where the sunshine went

Only Joyce would dare follow Winterreise with an encore: Morgen. Weaponized Strauss. I thought Emelyanychev was going to burst into tears at the end.

Not much would have me voluntarily sign up to be awake and functioning until 11pm three times in a week...

"Democrats can’t successfully communicate with the public until they have...made the crucial choice between economic populism or some slightly updated version of neoliberalism. Will Franklin D Roosevelt be their North Star? Or Carville’s old boss, Bill Clinton?"

Pancake day! And I remembered a dribble of Sauternes left in the fridge from a lunch party at the weekend

I gasped! Gens Marschallin!

The Luigi Discourse fascinates me. It seems to me that this advert in the FT is leaning into this aesthetic which is extraordinary, really

Little treat in the post today. It's huge! @ewatson.bsky.social and Jessica have worked very hard indeed on this volume
