Not much, today. The Drakes are about to leave for Athens…
And the swallowtail coat is coming on fine. Today I’ll rip back the too-large right cuff. I wonder if I should have made cuffs and collar the same colour as the coat, but there’s no use worrying about this thing indefinitely. I’m not competing in a swallowtail coat contest.
