Held formal planning meeting this morning. We are all #afraid. BUT we need to #help somehow. Elected @lizcadbury as commander in chief. We will go apartment to apartment today to see who is in the building and go on from there. #whydidwenotdothisbefore

Went out with @graceharwoodstewart and @lizcadbury to scout area. #Martians on the horizon #aloo #calling
Have been through #QueenAnnesMansions looking for #survivors. Most have fled. Found #bodies in two lower floor flats. Building is mostly empty. Nearly all remaining residents are #toooldtoflee #leftbehind #chosetostay #sadness
Returned from second scout trip. Found collection of black dust in dried puddle. Could it be #blacksmoke residue? #Pocket supplies contained sample jars, so I carefully #fear scraped residue up and sealed it in a jar.
@sirjohntheengineer has some supplies, that combined with ours, might help to the #analyse #blackdustresidue #fear #apprehension
All residents now relocated to upper floors of #QueenAnnesMansions Nine of them, three of us, and @sirjohntheengineer
#exhausted #achinglegs #toomanystairs
Executive committee determined not to move #bodies outside #QueenAnnesMansions. Retired Major (@servedinAfricawhat) said will tell #Martians we are here. #stink #justaswellIamnotsqueamish
Saw a #Martian out the window this morning. Ducked down but felt no fear. #amitootiredtofear?

@lizcadbury and I went out scouting for @NUWSS posts. Only focused on those we know are on higher ground. #sadness #blacksmoke
@graceharwood and @sirjohntheengineer have been experimenting with #blacksmoke residue. No results so far.
@millifawcett is alive! So #thankful #secondstoriessavelives #hillssavelives #survivalstories #inspiring
We have found small pockets of #survivors who managed to get to #higherground of some kind.
Planned regular #infodrops at central points. #whereisthegovernment #wemustorganiseagain #survivors #Ihavehope
Weird spots of #redweed popping up all over #London. Is it from #Mars? #isthatwhyitsred
@sirjohntheengineer and @graceharwood say that #blackpowder washes away with #water Could this be a solution? #weneedtoexperiment
Decision made. #communication paramount. @sirjohntheengineer has been attempting to #communicate with anyone on #wireless marvel. #wetaketurnsonthegeneratorhandle
@sirjohntheengineer spent the rest of the day #engineering and adjusting the #antenna on top of #QueenAnnesMansions How did I not notice the #antenna? @GMarconiwireless had been tossing ideas around with him in letters, so he built them.
@sirjohntheengineer made contact with #governmentinBirmingham #weareonourown #thereisaline #meningovernmentareheartless #wedemandthevote #thingswillchange #angry
Found @lizcadbury crying before breakfast. Her #children and #husband. She has no idea if they #gotout before #blacksmoke. So relieved my parents live so far north. #abovetheline #angry #thingswillchange
@lizcadbury is such as #strongwoman #survivor #organiser
@hgwellsbro was thinking of you tonight. #hope #ishealive #Woking
@sirjohntheengineer received message this morning from #governmentinexile Gas masks made of hessian soaked in water work against #blacksmoke #ourtheorieswereright
Looked out the window this morning. #Thames is choked with #redweed
@graceharwood and I will be running #healthchecks for all the @NUWSS survivors today. #atlastIwillusemyskills #ihavepockets #antisepsis #wishihadxray #manyinjuries
#exhausted and #filthy again. #savedalifetoday #iamhelping
Woken by noise. So many lights. So much shouting and noise. All to the north and not far. #PiccadillyCircus #RegentsSt #aretheyinsane #whatishappening
@graceharwood and I went out under cover at 0600 this morning to find out what is happening. #drunks #stupidity
We #hid in the shadows. #Fools lit lights, and danced and sang. #whyohwhydidtheydoit
#Martian from Langham came
#fools were harvested into a basket
#bloodsuckers #ididnotknowthis #bodiesdrained #weareprey
Found a small child cowering behind a bin. Took her home. #notspeaking #terrified #howdidshesurvive
#oldies are caring for #thechild
@NUWSS central meeting today. They are coming here, as we have #thehighestground #blacksmoke still happening.
@sirjohntheengineer and the oldies have our first #gasmasks #willtheywork #whowilltrythem #shouldIvolunteer #fear
@lizcadbury will trial #gasmask I don’t know how to feel about this. #inspiring #whyher #whynotme
@millifawcett says we must not risk anyone with medical training.
But we need @lizcadbury #shehasbeenmyrock
Now we need to find a #Martian and #blacksmoke #arewenuts?
@lizcadbury surived! #gasmaskworks #Iamsorelieved #sheismyrock
#Oldies sewing and making frantically. #GasMasks for all.
@NUWSS outposts in regular contact now. #Thanks to @SirJohnTheEngineer and his #Wireless marvel. He says thank @GMarconiWireless
Thank you @GMarconiWireless
#GasMask just fitted in my #Pocket #IWillNeverWearANormalSkirtAgain #DividedSkirtsForTheWin
Getting harder to move through #London #RedWeed is everywhere #Thames is now beginning to break banks in places. What will become of #London?
The stench of the dead from the #BlackSmoke is getting worse. #GasMasks have more than one purpose now.
We are now a centre for #GasMask and #Wireless construction. @LizCadbury and @MilliFawcett are communicating regularly by #Wireless. #WeHavePlans #Organisation
@GraceHarwoodStewart and I are now organising the 8th floor as a ‘proper’ #Hospital. We are above any #BlackSmoke and we have #GasMasks
Today, we plan to make our way to St Mary’s dispensary for women in Bryanston Square. @LizDispenGarrett did not survive #BlackSmoke #Sadness #Loss but we have hopes that the #Dispensary has #Medicines #Equipment
Note to self: #GasMask in #Pockets of #DividedSkirts Also, take some of @LizCadbury’s #HighEnergySnacks #Apprehension #DeepBreath
Leaving now. Will #MakeNotes when possible.
Finally reached #BryastonSquare. Collapsed on top floor of #StMarysDispensary. #HowWillWeMakeItBack #GasMasksWork #RedWeed #WillWriteMoreLater
Left 0830 as planned. So much #redweed that we had to cut our way through. #BuckinghamPalace covered in #redweed
#Martian in #HydePark. Spent an hour hiding. It just stood there, then after an hour or so, walked away. #Terrified #BreathHold #RedWeed #Martian #Shot a cannister when a flock of geese flew past #BlackSmoke
#GasMask works. Had to don it and wait for #BlackSmoke to disperse. Took ages. In the end we used it for #Cover, and crawled in our #GasMasks into Park St. Too afraid to move fast. Had to keep watering #GasMask #SoThirsty #HackTheWeed #Exhausted
#RedWeed covering everything. So hard to move fast. #Crawling #Cutting #Falling #KneesHurt
Reached #StMarysDispensary at last and collapsed on top floor. Rested, then searched for #AllTheThings. Used some to bandage our #Knees #Holes in my #DividedSkirts
Filled our #Sacks with #Medicines #Surgical equipment #Anaesthetics #Antiseptics #Bandages. #SoHeavy
Trip back not as bad. #RedWeed already cut, but beginning to regrow. #HowFastCanItGrow?
#Filthy #Exhausted #HadAWash #GotTheStuff
@LizCadbury concerned #Food is getting low, but thanks to the #Tanks on the roof, we have plenty of water
Weird sounds in the sky tonight. Could it be a #FlyingMachine? Do the #Martians #Fly as well? #GraceHarwoodStewart and I saw the lights as we passed #BuckinghamPalace
Have been repairing my #dividedskirts and cleaning knee abrasions. But…today #IWillHelpPeople because @NUWSS has the word out. #Tired #RefreshedInSpirit #IHaveSoreKnees
#Hospital is now ready for patients. #WeHaveMedicines #WeHaveEquipment
#MorningClinic done. People have to come so quietly. #hiding #streets #redweed
#InPatients We have some! But so #sick.
@GraceHarwood and I have #RelocatedFractures #BandagedWounds #antisepsis #WishIHadXrays #ClinicalReasoningIsGood
Awake early today. So much to do at the #hospital. We have supplies for now, but after yesterday, I can see that the #NeedIsGreat.
@GraceHarwoodStewart and I took shifts last night caring for our #patients. #NeedNursesToHelp
#yawn #tired #fatigue #WantToGoBackToSleep
#Meeting with @NUWSS today again. That #line. There are other words I’d like to say, but #IAmAResponsibleWoman #MedicalStudent #WhereIsOurGovernment? #HidingInBirmingham
#Sadness – lost 2 #patients last night. @GraceHarwoodStewart and I have washed the bodies and prepared them for burial. @LizCabury says that #RedWeed is helpful as it covers our activities. #StJamesPark is across the road.
Perhaps now we can do something about the #stench under cover of the #RedWeed #Martians will not see us as long as we’re careful.
#MorningClinic opens again in half an hour. #IAmHelpingPeople #StillTired #fulfilled
