Smoke Alarm

Last night I was listening to the third part of The Woman in Black, based on the Susan Hill novel, in this episode the young lawyer ends up spending a night in the haunted house, searching for the identity of the mysterious woman in black. I also listened to the third part of Ancient Sorceries, based on the Algernon Blackwood story, in this episode the shy English clerk discovers the monsterous truth behind the hotel landlady and her daughter, and finds out that they have their own plans for him. They've been really good. The Woman in Black is a full cast radio play, but Ancient Sorceries is just a reading of the story by actor Philip Madoc. It's good though. He does it very well.

I was in work late today, and the reason I was late was because I was fixing my smoke alarm, which had been beeping intermittently for the past couple of days, meaning the batteries are low and need to be changed. It's silent at the moment, but I don't know how long that will last. I won't be able to get any new batteries until the weekend anyway, so I'll just have to live with it until then.

Work was really dull again today. There was an Annual General Meeting for the Union, but I didn't go along. The meetings are always really dull and nothing ever gets decided, also I'm pretty sick of the union anyway. By all accounts the meeting was pretty much true to form and I didn't miss anything.

Tomorrow is my last day at work before my two week holiday.
