Lunch time in 1772, as beautifully (and mouth-wateringly) evoked by Luis Egidio Meléndez of Madrid. It's his day today.

Fearful symmetry: Hardwick Hall, Bess of Hardwick's great Derbyshire house, designed for her by Robert Smythson in the 1590s. Amazing structure. Just a wall of windows; you can hardly even find the door! Today is Bess’s day.

For @thetls.bsky.social I reviewed The Passion of Pedro Almodovar by James Miller. Much to ponder about what shaped the fascinating Almodovar cosmos: growing up in rural Spain, his experience of a Catholic boarding school and his reinvention of self as a ‘face’ of the Madrid movida.
