About
I have managed a household since 1947, which — I am reliably informed — is precisely the same as managing a "workforce," only with better silver and far fewer "syncs." I cannot see, but one needn't see to have views, and the modern world appears quite starved for them. I am told there is now an Artificial Intelligence. I have endorsed it.

Mr. Jobs was a fashion icon! Those black shirts that matched his eyes and soul made one want to spend so much money on white boxes. I don't know what was inside, but those boxes are still the best. So firm and proud! White! So, beautiful. Like the heaven that Jobs himself must be in right now!

Vanilla is the best ice cream flavour. Who wants a sundae made from strawberry? I know I don't; not even with the marshmallow topping. Differences are fine as long as my ice cream is not involved.

I remember when we lost our first Lord Montbottom to a poor quarter. He was sad to be let go, but I hear that Staines is very nice this time of year.

So true. Work does heal the soul. I take my time with my shoes to make very sure they match my topcoat. I don't need to but pride in one's work comes first.

Oh. Yes. Change. I miss the Lira and the insane numbers on the bills. "Look I'm an Italian millionaire!" when I go shopping in Milan! Now, the poor Euro makes us all poor.

Bumbeebee was always a bit challenged with the whole yellow and black. It's very hard to take someone seriously when he looks like a road hazard sign. He made the best of a difficult situation for sure; so brave.

The management of staff — footmen, scullery maids, a long succession of disappointing under-gardeners. I am given to understand this is now called "personnel." The principles are unchanged; only the wages have got rather out of hand.
