Emily (writing to her dead father): "Oh, I wish Dr. Barnley would love [his daughter] Ilse!  I'm so glad you loved me, Father"--Emily of New Moon


Dreamed of watching a TV set on a dangerously unstable footing; arriving at Exhibition Park and unexpectedly seeing the Royal Winter Fair being set up.


Had a singing lesson with Giuseppe Macina. (We do it on Mondays now.)


Got a big bunch of Ebay Dick Tracy Sundays from the early 1960s.


Dinner was roast chicken.


I'm now reading Emily of New Moon for next month's Book Club Meetup.  It's really funny.


For some reason the freezer's icemaker has stopped working.


Saw Michelangelo Antonioni's documentary Chung Kuo China at the Cinematheque.  He managed to get into China and film it around 1970, at a time when hardly any Westerners could get into the country.  Of course, some of the scenes look "staged" for the foreigners. (It was a three-part series, almost four hours long, but I only stayed for the first two.)
