The Ides of March.

I don’t appear to have been assassinated. Which would lend a certain grandeur. An ordinary member of the public cannot be assassinated, only killed.

Prince Dmitri Hersov has regained from San Paulo, Peter Acharya has re-boarded for Trinidad (that court case!), Robert Nevil has gained Bombay with Anthony Mottram, in very frail health. They flew 1st class on air miles but I fear RN will be brought back in the hold if not pyred on Ganga’s Bank. He’s been low for weeks with an unripening cold. It just doesn’t get better. The entire  world population of Poor Little Rich Gays will flock to Ganga to pour ghee on the funeral mound.

Harry Rollo and Reggie Cresswell are either in Paris or touring the Far East and Australia. Arjan Bose has at least returned to this country. His father is slowly improving after a brain haemorrhage.

I took a haddock supper: with tomato sauce and olives.
