Nerves

[poliphilo]

I was running late anyway.  I switched the radio on and the volume was way too high ( it has to be high because of my mother's deafness but not as high as this was) so I reached for the knob and it was the tuning knob not the volume knob and the radio made awful noises and I twiddled and Ailz twiddled and the radio continued to hack and splutter and neither of us could get it back on the station and I've spent the rest of the day wanting to throw things.

A teapot through a plate glass window. Now that would be nice...
