The Woman in Black

Last night I was listening to the second part of The Woman in Black, based on the Susan Hill novel. In this episode the solicitor goes to the house of the recently deceased old woman in order to examine her papers but finds himself stranded and has a disturbing encounter with the mysterious, ghostly woman wearing black in the nearby graveyard. That was followed by the second part of the reading of Ancient Sorceries, based on the story by Algernon Blackwood, in which the shy clerk begins to fall for the daughter of the manager of his hotel, and slowly becomes convinced that there is an evil force in the weird little town that is starting to slowly change him. It works really well having an hour of ghost or horror stories on the radio between midnight and one in the morning.

It was a very quiet day at work, with no unexpected announcements or anything. I was listening to a couple of episodes of That Mitchell and Webb Sound on my iPod, which provided some laughs. Also I've only got a couple of days more at work before my two week holiday.

I've really been getting into using Twitter a lot recently. It probably gets annoying, but to be honest, I don't care, because I like it. Ha!
