This is all a bit boring and lonely so far. Hope things are going to improve.

Dad's fed up. They won't let him out of hospital yet. But he's getting closer to being released back to the wild.

That sounds as if he's feeling a bit better, then. Good to hear. Right. Invasive plants tonight, then? Any of them h-o-l-l-y-h-o-c-k-x?

This is something I would not normally want to watch at all. I am hoping it's not too much of a horror film!

Walter Wanger! What a name!

I was just about to post that!

And yes, English today, so the entire year 11 sitting it - lots of work for a part-time invigilator.

Well at least it's an honest American film set in America, rather than uprooting it from somewhere else.

One of my cadets was involved - as a victim - not at your location though.

Cadets?

Scaring Americans in their homes. Nothing more frightening.

The monster you can't see....

You're probably not old enough to have your own.

Invigilating turned out to be less strict for some of my exams as an adult. In one, the invigilator fell asleep for most of it. In another, he said 'I hope nobody is going to want anything, because I'm trying to revise.'

I'm with Tommy. Kids are always right.

Triffids was writ in 1951. This one 1954. Is there a connection?

Well if you believe what the crtics said/say, it was all down to the communist fears that gripped the USA.

I hope we don't get 'Day of the Woke' in a few years' time.
