‘the secret is to have but few needs and thus time to live your own life’

so remarks wolf(gang) in hans fallada’s wolf among wolves. horsemouth hasn’t read the introduction like he normally does (there isn’t one) but there is an afterward (which he has - until now overlooked). he suspects it is not going to be so simple for wolfgang.

it doesn’t look like horsemouth will get much time away over easter (which is good because he could do with earning money so that he won’t starve) or perhaps they will radically swap the work off him (who knows). he’s only got tomorrow morning to do and then he is free.

horsemouth has his health (that’s the main thing he reckons).

wednesday he walked up into walthamstralia - the most excellently large oxfam is gone (replaced by a lidl - ok that's a lie). he bought a book on philosophers and kings.

saturday (4pm-ish) he’s round howard’s working on denise’s version of sliabh - he’s very hopeful. he also thinks it might be an idea to use part of a recording he made round snatch foster’s house one time - a track that manages to lift two fahey-esque motifs and grieg’s mars - bringer of war (he’ll have to copy it off the CD it’s on though). if anything the major attraction is the harsh reverb on it (it was recorded in snatch foster’s bathroom).
