Listening to The War of The Worlds on BBC Sounds. It includes the line "I grew weary of the curate's ejaculations", so that's funny.

The dog just woke himself by sharply kicking himself in the face. He's now eyeing me suspiciously from the other side of the room as if this is somehow my fault.

It's hardly surprising when the media and politicians have deliberately whipped people into such a frenzy. The huge division and rise of racism in our society are entirely their fault.

Will doesn't want to spend time with Clarrie. She's just a little woman, there to provide food for him without thanks. No wonder George grew up to be such a twat.

We were without power from yesterday evening to an hour ago. As I boiled water on a camping stove this morning, I remembered the coffee grinding is electric. It wasn't until I was hand grinding beans with a mortar and pestle that it occurred to me that this was the desperate actions of an addict.

I find myself irrational angry at a woman on the radio who set herself a challenge of reading a book from every country in a year. Like, yeah, I'd love to read a book every other day but we don't all have the privilege of having the time. Most of us have to work.

This clinches it. Esme was actually Markie in disguise this whole time. She inveigled her way into the village just to get George. This explains why no one had ever heard of her and her baffling array of accents.
