Read GBS’s Heartbreak House on the train today & watched the BBC production with John Gielgud this evening. Thomas Love Peacock a hundred years on. TLP seems to be out of fashion these days, a shame.

I’m sure I was not the only person on the train this evening googling “iPhone turn off government emergency warnings”.

When you left our house that night and went falling into that ocean, a message came: silence. I pictured you going, spangles and bubbles leaving your pockets in a wheel clockwise. Sometimes I look out of our door at night. When you send messages they come spinning back into sound with just leaves rustling. Come battering. I listen, am the same, waiting.

Still reading William Stafford. Last verse of “Elegy”.

“My good girl, don’t you know a disorderly house when you see one?” Sukey has knocked on the door hoping to find domestic work because the house is disorderly in the other sense.
