Dreamed of the dance teacher Elena (she was at the dance studio Friday); reflecting that the TV show Little House on the Prairie was different from the books and not for the better; recalling that actors weren't allowed to participate in the Chinese Empire's famous civil service examinations [a true fact]; bicycling with Mother (I've never seen her on a bicycle, but I'd just seen a scene in Late Spring where actress Setsuko Hara bicycled with a man) and telling her the story that movie star Victor Mature tried to join a gentleman's club, was told that they didn't accept actors, and said "I'm no actor, and I have thirty movies and a scrapbook of reviews to prove it!" (I'd read the story in his obituary.)
Started listening to the Lucia di Lamermoor CD.
It turns out that we do own a copy of Brighton Rock, so I'll be able to return the library copy and read it in my own time.
Moira came back from Kingston.
Dinner was roast pork.
