Dreamed of being a pupil in a British public school, being scapegoated for something someone else did, and making a scene; the movie The Red Badge of Courage.
Got a The World Around Us comic about famous explorers.
Dinner was pork steak.
Read three more Secret Agent Corrigan stories, in which his wife gets kidnapped by an Arabian sheikh who wants to marry her(!); a spy novelist fabricates a story that a notorious spy has faked his own death and wants to kill him (the spy turns up for real, of course); a spy plans to hand over secret papers to foreign agents on the location of a western film shoot.
Saw Luchino Visconti's movie of Gabriele d'Annunzio's novel The Innocent, about a bourgeois couple in Italy a century ago whose marriage is marred by infidelity. I couldn't disagree with the character who said, "This atmosphere is too depressing for me."
