Yesterday afternoon

The visit went extremely well. In the end I did put my feelings to one side and did the talk on music-making inthe Early Modern Period. Our current Mayor is a blackshirt, and the rest of the party didn't seem to be taking much notice of him. I got a couple of dignitaries dancing round, so I'd done my job properly. After the dancing had finished I invited those present to bow or curtsey to the most important person in the room. Everyone faced me and did 'The Honour', to which the Mayor protested. !!!!!
