Friday. A quiet day. Samuel has developed a broad Yorkshire accent, broader than mine picked up, according to Ally, from Stephen Ayres. Spoke to Janette on the phone.

Sir Mstislav.

The Kinnocks have celebrated 20 years of marriage this week, and the leader of the opposition has had a disastrous trip to see Ron [Reagan] in Washington, where the fading president failed to recognise Mr Healey, and thought that Acland, our ambassador to the USA, was Mr Kinnock's sidekick. Healey and Acland of course have huge, bushy eyebrows. Mrs T goes to see Mr Gorbachev at the weekend to show how visits really should successfully be done.

The Prince of Wales is to spend four days trekking in the Kalahari Desert, Botswana, with his friend, Sir Laurens van der Post, at the end of a three-nation African tour which begins today.

A Frankfurt confectioner has sold out his stock of Easter bunnies containing condoms in a 'safe sex' promotion. The 3-inch high chocolate rabbits cost £1.70 each.

Mstislav Rostropovich, cellist, conductor and Russian-in-exile has been appointed a Honorary Knight Commander of the British Empire for his services to British music, the Foreign Office announced yesterday.
