Ooh nice, not been there yet. Will have to visit there sometime. I do like to take a look round a cathedral when I can.

For me I loved visiting the neighbourhoods. Getting about on the 'L' and listening to The Adventures of Augie March on an audiobook.

I did enjoy one they had for the Forbidden City in Beijing narrated by Roger Moore. "Look at the ceiling, isn't it magnificent!".

Eddie said he was exhausted by the unremitting nursing duties, all the non-stop mollycoddling ('She was drinking and taking pills and passing out. She was constantly passing out') and for his sanity would have to leave in the morning. Taylor said, 'You're leaving in the morning? I'm leaving right now,' and swallowed a handful of Seconal.

Eddie felt he couldn't do right for doing wrong: 'I was the one who had tried to stop her from killing herself, and that had made her so angry she had tried to kill herself.' He decided to go into hospital to have his appendix taken out – for no reason except being in hospital gave him reprieve from Taylor for a few days. The ruse only irritated her. She didn't like having to get up in the morning to pay Eddie a visit.

Reading Erotic Vagrancy by Roger Lewis and am blown away by what Elizabeth Taylor's then husband Eddie Fisher is going through to look after her.

By water home, and so walk upon the leads, and in the dark there played upon my flageolette, it being a fine still evening, and so to supper and to bed.

Like the drummer of a 1970s prog rock band reunited at the bassist's funeral.
