THOUGHTS of the luminous Juliette Binoche as yours truly (Diary, March 30) have gone straight to my head.

The arresting conduct described in your Diary the next day was disgraceful. My colourful half has risen above his poaching gene (Bill Hearld, March 30).

He now creates nourishing vegetarian stews, while I run a Spartan ship and refuse all offers of big freezers.
