The Day After
The Wellington is draped in black today. Around the windows, over the sign on the tall post outside. Look too closely and you can see they’re sheets...

The Picture Ranch 68
Joe Ardizzone was the head of the LA Crime Family until 1931, when he disappeared... Makes no difference to the plot, just thought you might want to know. Explicit violence. (That should boost the number of reads!) Image created by author from PD elements.

I hope you'll welcome Micawber Fisher, Miss G and all the gang back. I've the glimmer of an ending in sight. You'll know when I know. image created from PD elements.

Winning Through
Sitcom as metaphor. I expect this one has a few episodes which would remain on the shelf should the BBC ever repeat them and that's fine too. Image is from the National Army Museum website.

from a US radio advertising campaign from the 30's I think. It means this is going/has started well - possibly after repeated failed attempts. Popularised by Jack Benny and the like in comedy sketches thereafter.

topical piece captures the futility of getting away from it all, whatever "it" is, it's in our baggage and that's why it's our Facebook and Twitter Pick of the Day.

One or two things. Incognito is one word.
Kirk is almost exclusively used for Church in the Church of Scotland. Your priest(s) are Catholics, I presume, since they practise the rite of Exorcism.
I like the idea of the stories being...

what the playground chants are now... we used to parrot chants about Ho Chi Minh, with no clue where Vietnam was. This has that kind of hypnotic rhythm. Cleverly done.

looking back, sometimes. Old pals who took apprenticeships at 16 haven't lifted a tool in 30 years. Policemen some of them, or RAC men. The lucky few might do some shop-fitting though they're time-served carpenters and joiners. One lathe-turner...

if you'd asked me 10 years ago about the cathartic benefits of writing, I'd have laughed in your face. How wrong can one be? I suppose the point is it enables you (me, one etc.) to take your feelings outside and examine them, turning them over to...
