horsemouth is back from johnny and denise's in the suburbs having let himself be bullied by the transport infrastructure (or rather the limited representation of it available online) - he opted for the 'safe' route of returning via south woodford (last westbound tube 12.05) - as a result he had to leave the party just as they were putting on the dancehall, the alcohol had done its necessary work and he was beginning to re-connect with his sociability. ah well. I suppose there will always be next year (until there isn't). horsemouth didn't fancy a drunken stagger back (via unspecified night buses) or (still worse) a hungover stagger back at painful a.m.
horsemouth is reading two things at the moment -
duncan (and linda) williamson's fireside tales of the traveller children (borrowed) which includes a variant on the musicians of bremen featuring a donkey, a sheep, a duck and cockerel. so far he's only read the story about the hedgehurst king (a kind of were-hedgehog).
and the introduction to samuel smiles self-help. from whence comes the title of this piece (a description of smiles' practice).
