Yes it was surprisingly scary, considering we're all grown up now, AND we knew what was coming. How's things with you, OSP?

Ok, I'm here, having just dealt with some tax collectors from the reign of Henry VII, looking forward to triffids. |

No snow here, although my phone claims it's been snowing for a while now. My phone tells lies. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

We will now agree the snow has been a big wet hen and wake up tomorrow with snow up to the windowsill.

I've got episode three, but it seems to be a retread of episode one. Is there an unusually long introduction, or have I got the wrong episode? Seem to have got the right one now, I think. They are being besieged in the car by blind people - is that right?

In mine, they're eating a meal and discussing where to go next.

Going suddenly blind must be everyone's worse nightmare. With or without triffids.

He says those who have survived...he didn't add 'and can see' though that is what he meant. Harsh.

Difficult to sign up to their rules when most of the rules are going to have to change anyway in the face of a changing situation.

I suppose I think that it's a cold hard truth he arrives at rather too quickly, and rather too gleefully. |

I will have to re read some Wyndham to see how I find his writing after so many years since I last picked one of his books up.

Yes, here we are - women must have babies, men must work. We can support women who can't see, not men who can't see. URGH. They don't have enough food for themselves, why are they prioritizing producing more hungry mouths at once? |
