I've only just watched #Conclave. Am I the last person to do so? Have to say, it was very gripping and although I did guess who would be elected, the twist in the tail was still worth waiting for.

I enjoyed Jonathan Agnew making a #JaneAusten joke while commenting on the Test Match on Five Live radio. Well done Aggers. #INDvsENG

Pelléas and Mélisande at #Longborough Festival Opera. A rare chance to see this symbolist opera, a story of mystery & enigma, always on the borders of magic without quite crossing that line. With Ukrainian soprano Kateryna Kasper. @lfotweet @Operaeuropa oxfordprospectarts.com/articles/pell%…

They say foxes are getting domesticated in suburban environments. No kidding. This one is sunbathing in my mother's garden.
