HRH had a great time at the public concert last night, playing flute while MT sang, and that's before we get the first letter (in French, of course) saying "Mon cher Papa, have suggested to the Emperor to request loan from our treasury so we can bring the Austrian army up to speed and also build me an extra royal mansion equipped with the latest fashion from Paris, cherio, Fritz".

I keep opening the notification thread in my email to reread this and laugh out loud. cahn's right, it's every bit as good as Yuletide!

RIP Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia
1688 - 1733
Cause of death: aneurysm
