h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Profound darkness, the rushing of the creek in the distance and the elegiacal hooting of a lone owl.

Builders are using very LOUD drills that are vibrating through the house

Very misty sun really trying to shine, but mist getting in the way.

A few spots of rain and a slight breeze.

Wet wet and even wetter than that.

its not fair I want a window!

Now mrs wobbly bum stop being a pane, gettit pane gettit I am soo funny
OMG

nearly everyone is leaving the office to go home at 6pm (now) but poor little me is here for 2 more hours

This happens all the time they always leave you alone. Can't you change your shift pattern or sumink?

am working late all this month as its more convenient for me to get here later, but feels crap when everyone else goes at 6

I know, I used to work shifts and sometimes in a moment of madness agree to do a double shift, then when my proper home time came I felt sick as a parrot. Never mind at least you don't start til later.

A lot of workers were around earlier working on some new gas lines. The work they're doing is evedent, but they don't seem to be around right now.

More fireworks going off right now.

The words gas line and fireworks registered with my risk assessment brain gear. Then I saw the ghost and thunk hello thats a bit dangerous

weird Italian across the way still hasn't figured out that frosted glass+light=shilouette....

Otherwise, there are a few ambulances going by (there always are, I'm two blocks from the hospital) and a tire squealed somewhere in the distance.

Relax, the fireworks are some distance away. I don't think we'll have a huge explosion here.

The ghost is just for Halloween.

just imagine the plosion bits of toffee everywhere yay.

The liquidamber tree foliage is turning brilliant gold as the Japanese maples turn a deeper coppery orange in the background. The pool cleaning man is checking the pool filter and trying not to seem too curious about the drying effigy of an American president lying face-down on my lawn. Which is good because I'm not too eager to explain it anyway.

Nothing

There's a crow walking around on the roof opposite, look quick before he's gone and it's all boring ag-

Too late

Grey skies and street lamps, not a light on in sight.

And it's 7:20am
