What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Only the Nov 10 free-day page was opened; the December date (Dec 8 by the stated rule) was not listed on the pages read, so it is not recorded as an occurrence. The Conservatory of Flowers has a separate free day on the first Tuesday (Nov 3 listed).
