Very pleased to see Zubaran (fils!)'s lemons on the last day at the National. Also, this kid knows more than he'd like about the nature of the circumcision panel on the monster altarpiece in the second room...

Trailer for a Radio 4 programme on the guitar lists guests as 'Pete Townshend, Johnny Marr, Justine Frischmann from Elastica, and Nile Rodgers' Given that this is an instrument Noel Gallagher claimed women don't play because we don't want to ruin our nails, why contextualise the woman only?

An (excellent) article so nihilist, it almost left me feeling the same way as the conclusion of the 2009 Audiard movie A Prophet - that nothing good can ever come again.

I love The Diplomat (Netflix). I particularly love the start of S3, when there's faffing about finding a bible... and Rory Kinnear's detestable PM swans in with a 15th century Gutenberg copy, indisputably trumping everything and everybody in the room. The true face of British exceptionalism.

Glyndebourne are on cruise control right now: top reviews for a new Tosca, one of the world's hottest designer-directors at the helm of Orfeo and the two best tenors not just in the UK but probably Europe with 👌🏼 video trails introducing their roles in their operas. 🏆
