Friday January 26

What a day I have had! I woke up this morning to the sound of a jet plane flying low, followed by the sound of about eight loud explosions, followed by the sound of sirens. Naturally I thought we were being invaded. Turns out it was an odd series of coincidences. Quite funny, actually.

I ended up at my parents this afternoon. My (Great) Uncle Bill has come to visit. He talks a lot about old times. It sounds like he grew up in some kind of paradise that is now lost forever to the evil of modernity. Did you know, for example, that in the old days insects didn't used to attack crops? Amazing. You could buy a house back then for 800 pounds. Houses these days are a rip-off! If they ever invent the time machine I am definitely going to go back and visit 1950's Australia to witness for myself this world of peace, freedom and truth.

It's no fun being paranoid.
