As I have said once or twice before, what a lovely thing it is to have a Sunday evening and know that the Monday is a Bank Holiday and that there will be no work.

Even if the weather is apparently going to be only so-so.

As an incidental note to this entry [on Cinematography], I feel it incumbent upon myself to point out that my appearance in Douche apres le Bain de Mademoiselle Fifi-Armelle (1897) was not voluntary but forced upon me by the necessity of maintaining the pretence of patronage at 6, Rue St Martin in order that I might properly conduct my researches. Also, the gentleman in the leather mask who appears briefly in Les Laveuses Attrapees (1897) is not me, despite a degree of physical similarity, nor is the clysopomp operator in Les Laveuses Attrapees pour la Vingtieme Fois (1899), while the man in the green silk dress and golden leather boots in La Tante et le Mouflon (1900) has nothing to do with me whatsoever.
