Thomas Tanbrit tired and troubled
Friday 18 December 2015 Overnight, Miss Trimot’s car is parked by the uphill section of the Old Man’s front lawn. At 07:43, via the bathroom window, I see an orange glow at the horizon, to the right-hand side of the … Continue reading
Multiple encounter

Sunday 8 December 2013 Not long after 06:30, at 4 Cypress Crescent the exterior light is on, as it was yesterday morning, and the small window at the right-hand side of the upper storey (the bathroom window?) is lit. The … Continue reading
Not making a song and dance of it
Saturday 7 December 2013 Mr Port’s van has remained by the left-hand side of the Old Man’s front lawn overnight. I notice that it again bears the usual company logo — or perhaps it is a different van from the … Continue reading
Clouds and contrails
