john abercrombie's guitar is great on this - very tsiji munoz/ sonny sharrock.
excellent. his mum has come back from town happy.
she departed for town grumpy and harassed.
horsemouth was similarly grumpy and harassed.
while his mum was away horsemouth did some weeding in the garden and that has cheered him up a little. whilst he did it horsemouth cheerily cursed the air black and blue.
'we drove to lyme.' - kilvert, 9th august 1871 (still on holiday).
there is a hereford and gloucester canal - but not much of it is open to the public in hereford. if horsemouth comes down the other side of aylestone hill there's a park - and some of it is there. otherwise it's a trip to ledbury. looks like more of it is open in the run to gloucester.
anyway. several possible daytrips there.
yesterday potatoes from the garden, marrow, onion, spinach also. tomatoes and peppers from the greenhouse. all very tasty.

'the sheer number of landlords in parliament is shocking. during an unprecedented housing crisis, it’s a blatant conflict of interest that MPs are making millions from struggling renters – while some even use taxpayer money to cover their own personal rents...'
- jae vail, a spokesperson for the london renters union.
after the rushnara ali fall from grace ('becoming a distraction') horsemouth is pleased to see there's still some focus on the issue. curiously though he doesn't think government policy has in fact favoured small landlords of this type, he thinks government policy has been to sell them out to larger corporate landlords and to mount tax raids on their earnings.
