## Events of Note

* Kitty emails in whilst Sam is live on air

## Summary

Sam starts the episode by saying that they (or technically, Madame Marie) have received an email from Kitty the Investigator. He worries that neither the Loyal Assistants nor Kitty are involved with Marie's scheme, before moving swiftly onto the tarot readings. They received some tarot advice, and they put it to good use, doing readings for Steven and Tammy.

Sam further procrastinates reading Kitty's email, instead revealing to the Listeners that he actually near-forbidden from the studio, and then working himself up over Marie being missing and what to do with the email. They decide eventually to read it aloud.

The email discusses and describes a strange house that whenever Kitty attempts to approach it, is filled with the sense of 'the occupants are busy, now is a bad time'. Kitty does not succeed in getting past this immaterial barrier.

Sam finishes the email and is shaken. He moves onto the augury forecast, and then states that he has been trying to find a way to contact the Loyal Assistants, but can't find a phone number or address for any of them. Sam begins to ramble nervously about Marie's disappearance and their lack of spiritual ability, before being interrupted by another email from Kitty. She emails a few times, before phoning, causing the end of the episode.

## Augury Forecast

*See all Augury Forecasts*

*A brief shower three Thursdays ago indicates this week might be a good one for revisiting with an old hobby or past time. If you used to knit or cross stitch or corpse bother, now is a good time to pick it up again.*

*Storm clouds above the horizon as the flocks of starlings returned from their winters away suggest that as the nights draw in, you should be mindful of where you leave your freshly cleaned clothes. Clothes left out too long under these conditions may attract unwanted pests, particularly socks and warm cardigans, which wandering spirits are known to be fond of.*

*Due to the orientation of the birds in the birdbath the morning I write this, it is likely a good idea to avoid large purchases this month.*

*Wednesday next week will have several heavy, sudden showers. Take an umbrella if you intend to go out for a walk.*

*If your name is Louis, Louise, Lois, Lewis, Lousia, Laurel or Andrew, you will want to avoid business dealings towards the end of the week if they involve personal investment. It’s not worth your life, it’s really not. You have so much to live for. I swear to you it’s more important than that. New bikes won’t make them love you. The way you get them back is to spend more time listening. I swear to you it’s not the way, just do it. Please. Phone them. Don’t do this.*
