Went to Kenwood House to meet two opera singers, usual kind of weekend activity for me. They needed to see me, wanted to talk about singing loud and stuff. Had a very nice cooked English breakfast and talked about Verdi, Puccini, Bizet… you know all the usual opera folks…But then out of the corner of my eye…Just look at these three dogs! Who are they impressing? Not me… they are such conformists. La boheme they are not.
