Today Mog has been desperately trying to shake the feeling she's being watched.

A head shot photo of a black cat. Out of focus over her left shoulder is a Lego cat staring directly at her.

We weren't going to mention it, but he's on your head. Ever seen Disney's Ratatouille? That.

Even though I tested negative for plague a week ago, I'm still getting randomly poleaxed by extreme brain fog and aching everything. Currently I'm in bed due to such an episode. Both our neighbours and the chap across the road are doing things with power tools. I am hoping for a meteor impact.

Yes, most of his stuff does seem to be about zombies. The Grand Hotel appears to be something of an outlier; but for some reason I often find myself re-listening to it.

France can keep it. We have our own now.

An illustration in the style of the bayeux tapestry showing people enjoying a British night out. Instead of knights there are hoards of drunk revellers, a woman tumbles out of a taxi, a man wears a traffic cone on his head, kebabs are ordered and drugs are dealt behind police on horseback. There is fighting and vomiting also. The borders are embroidered with details such as a seagull eating some chips and a used condom. There are latin phrases such as 'Im tam ebrus est' and 'Allium Condimentum'

Hmmm, this story has set up a captivating and intriguing plot with a seemingly impossible murder and multiple lines of inquiry, so what it really needs now are a few chapters about the detective's struggle with personal addiction and/or inability to manage personal relationships SAID NO FUCKER EVER.

I personally have a soft spot for The Grand Hotel by Scott Kenemore. It's essentially a short story collection held together with a meta-narrative. It's modern, however, although it doesn't feel that way.

Uhuh. It was you who sent me this petrified monkey-paw, wasn't it? I knew it was too good to be a free gift with the Mid Devon Gazette.

That went well.

By "well", I do of course mean "shite". #Spaced

Basically yes, although my sleep pattern has been even more destroyed, although that could be because I'm drinking far less than before the virus hit.

I'm sorry your brain is not working and playing well with itself; is their anything we in the BlueSky Wordle Collective can do to help?

One should never ignore critical letters. Especially the ones with "Final Demand" written on the envelope.

Nah; this is very much a glaring acidly moment.
