Putting the cycle into Wagner’s Ring. Opera Holland Park #ToryRailStrike James Clutton

Obsession, stalking, femicide… seen through the #Metoo lens #OHP 's Carmen is a powerful protest against male violence. Kezia Bienek is captivating & courageous & director Cecilia Stinton's emotional echo of the Sarah Everard vigils will make you weep. Opera Holland Park

Rough road ahead….UK inflation rises to 40-year high of 9.1%.

Posh Brits are very strict about dress code. Forgot my fascinator. Am having to improvise. Do ya reckon I’ll get away with it?

'So, wannabe authors, if you have a story to tell, pick up your pen and get scribbling. It’s worth it for the poetic justice alone: impaling enemies on the end of your pen is so satisfying.'

Sinus op? Suspect the PM’s nose procedure was a Pinocchio-ectomy from telling so many lies. #Boris

Missing my darling dad today. Here he is tackling for the Bulldogs in the Grand Final at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1951. He won the prize for fastest Front Row Forward of the year. A dry, wry, kind, strong but also gentle man. Adored by his 4 daughters. ❤️ #fathersday

Celebrating the end of Barry Humphries’ hilarious one man show tour. Dame Edna’s manager’s comic timing is impeccable. “Let’s do lunch, Kathy. We can talk about all the people who aren’t there…” (big pause) “…And why.”

Clearly #Trump is not just made of teflon but of space shuttle atmospheric re-entry shields.

How many dancers does it take to change a lightbulb? Five, six, seven, eight… #MoulinRouge is an upbeat tonic for tough times. Yes, it’s a jukebox musical, but what a playlist!

Delighted to be a cover girl on magazine Die Weltwoche - a Swiss alp career peak. Hope they pay me in toblerone. Urs Gehriger

Breaking news. Aussie interloper escorted from the Royal Enclosure for pretending to be a lady on Ladies Day. Think I’ll give a false name. What about Eliza Dolettle? #Ascot #LadiesDay

…and with the money I won on Ladies Day at Ascot, I bought this…& am now giving very good hat. #behattedlondon

The words “cat” , “got” and “cream” leaping to mind for some reason… #Ascot

Putting the socialite into socialist. Can’t believe a cheeky Aussie brumby has sneaked into the Royal Enclosure with all the thoroughbreds. Will be counting with one foot by the end of the day, dah-lings. @markslarks #Ascot
