Positively hilarious scheduling "making love to the Princess" in your diary.... it really does go something like, "wake up in the morning, eat, write, visit, make love to the Princess, then go visit tziganes."

Crikey... on Dec 19th, Leo writes that everything he scheduled for himself to do on the 18th, he did! So, a moment of pride! But what did he do? Wrote, read, entertained, took a stroll, then wrote and wrote more.
I mean... WILD!!! Can I have that life?! XD
