The internet was down. Alexa was unable to play me music. I resorted to BBC Sounds on my phone and heard the second half of a dramatised version of Heart of Darkness, the script by Orson Welles.

Commentators digress. It's about the dark heart of European colonialism.

I finally finished the envelopes. Now what to do?
