The rain has stopped and the sun shines. A walk to town and back. Not much to be found. A game for PC called "Lighthouse" - a point and click mystery from a few years back. So far I have opened the front door of the lighthouse but it's too dark to go in. I have to find some oil for the lamp. Now, where would it be? In this old locked lean-to? Under the flowerpot? I'm stuck already. Will have a go later.
Going to raid the coal shed for some more musty mail art now.

I agree. Not enough vegetable poems. Especially ones where the vegetables turn out to be evil invaders from a fiff dimension

The next day i tried looking at thelamp again which hung by the front door- the key was there all the time hanging on the latch! So i opened the padlock on the shed and found a crowbar and the fuse box to turn the hosue lights on. Inside I went in the first room and found a diary about a mad inventor to read which backs up the creaky plot a bit. ~Also some otherthings for the inventory, an umbrella, a pen and something else which I've forgotten. anyway, went into the next room where the crying baby was and saidhello. went to kitchen to get it some milk from thne fridge but when I came back - quel horreur! A nasty imp thing was stealing the baby and jumped into a swirling time portal thingy! So naturally i jumped after it and........
