01. The most glorious concert of Puccini’s greatest hits. I loved every single moment (but especially the Gianni Schicchi, Tosca, and Butterfly bits). (image)
02. Watching: the Olympics, obvs.
03. Scandinavian Film Festival kicked off for me with Hammarskjöld – oh my gosh, talk about two hours of tension. See it.
04. Cocktails and potato cakes at Myrtle. I’m totally here for the potato-cakes-and-whipped-roe trend.
05. How good is it catching up with dear friends who you don’t get to see often enough? Rejuvenating.
06. Readers got their turn at NYT Best Books of the 21st Century – I’ve read 41, abandoned one, and have a further nine in my reading stack.
07. Hooray for the glorious weather we had to begin the week!
