Hot. Summer's here. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year. 81F in London. Bill Foggitt says we will enjoy good weather for the rest of June based on the high activity of ants in the gardens. 

Duke of Kent: KG

Samantha has a middle name. It's Kay. They picked it out of the blue.  This afternoon we walked up to the nursery school or kindergarten thing on Hunslet Hall Road where we were told Samuel is no nearer getting a place. One would think it was Millfield. Sod them. Bessie phoned. 

News: the Duke of Kent was installed at St George's Chapel as a KG wearing the robes that belonged to his father and have been packed away in a box for half a century. Prince George was appointed to the order in 1923 on his 21st birthday, but his son has had to wait until he is 50. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson attended the wedding on Saturday of the Hon Peter Pleydell-Bouverie, son of Lord Radnot, to Jane Gilmour, daughter of Sir Ian Gilmour, and a descendant of the ducal Abercorns, from whom Fergie and Diana also stem.
