Suggest checking out Rixo (I found a lovely silk dress for a friend’s wedding from them) and Doën. You and daughter could also go to Paris for a weekend of dress shopping :)

84 years ago today, two naked canadian sailors successfully boarded and captured a U-boat while the rest of their crew threw coke bottles at it. turns out it's hard to defend a conning tower ladder when there's a sweaty canadian butt suddenly sliding down it at speed. an "out of context" problem.

As my room is 2nd floor was worried they were stuck on roof so put cat food on the sill (keep for when daughter’s cats visit) to tempt them in. We did have a 1 am check in the courtyard they hadn’t fallen, but no sign since.

Was up late reading in bed last night and a sleek tabby cat walked past the chair. I do not currently have a cat so this was a bit startling. Me: ‘Hello you’ Cat: ‘Yikes’ & jumped out the window.

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.

I do the M&S as well. I’ve been travelling to Paris enough that I’ve had access to the fast queue & the lounge for the past year, but when that expires I will be much less enthusiastic to travel. Especially as I also have to take GWR in from the Cotwolds to add to the pain.
