Daye 90 / January 5

massive snowfall in C.o.M. overnight
not seen as much snow hereabouts
since i was a little kid
...blah blah blah...
global warming...blah
we've fucked up our planet..
blah...
snow continues during the day
satellite tv off the air
terrestrial tv been off the air
since the big switch
blah blah blah....
first day back at school after xmas hols
but the schools are closed
...blah...
no trams no travel
..blah...
more snow forecast for tomorrow and thursday
...blah blah blah...
every thing is white
'cept the sky
which is dark grey
i am beginning to feel uncomfortably claustrophobic
tried to dig the car out with a snow shovel
but it will not budge
went out for a walk with the kids instead
i kept seeing things
out of the corner of my eye
sometimes i'd see dark spheres
or something which gives off sparks
moving about near the trees
at the bottom of the hill
or else i see shapeless
glowing lights in the dark bushes
and there was nobody else around for miles
as we walked about
just us four
yet when i looked behind me
i noticed we had left five sets of footprints
wow i feel like a character in
peter straub's ghost story
nothing else for it
must spend the rest of the day
writing and recording
