Look for my newspaper
The newspaper is half-trapped under the front door. A soft, regular tapping comes from the letterbox outside.
start making the porrage
You leave the newspaper and tapping for the moment and make the porridge. The tapping continues.
eat my porridge, and read yesterdays newspaper
Yesterday's paper is nowhere to be seen. The only newspaper is still half-trapped under the front door.
go out the back door and look for Harrold my pet rabbit
Harold is in the garden near the compost bin.
check the bin
A neatly folded, dry piece of pale cream paper is sitting on top of the compost.
ponder how the coffee grounds got there since I'm a tea totally in the true sense of the word
The coffee grounds are fresh. You do not drink coffee and have never kept it in the house.
check what the paper says
It is a NOTICE OF TEMPORARY REASSIGNMENT, reference LOC-7741-B / Ordinary Dwelling, saying the location has been provisionally reclassified pending verification of planetary status.
Write on the paper "CANCELLED"
The document accepts the amendment and adds: Amendment noted. Further verification may be necessary.
Put it back in the compost, go back inside and tidy up
Archive note
The surviving session continues with Jim vacuuming the house, checking security cameras, calling 111, retrieving the newspaper without opening the front door, making tea, reading email, marking the alien administrative email as spam, and persuading neighbour Jean to deal with the persistent Clarification Officer.
