the dreams of old men (the days of a year with an appreciation by horsemouth)

don't remember putting this one up - is that max ochs at the start?

the days of a year with an appreciation by henry james is a small book by m.d.ashley-dodd listing the days of the year and a short (paragraph length) description of the weather (and its emotional effects) - an emotional meteorology.

yesterday - a walk by the river (in the rain), read the torygraph, watched dad’s army.

dad’s army (toby jones, bill nighly, etc.) horsemouth strangely enjoyed (but now he’s in on the joke - the dreams of old men). as a child he never thought of it that way (wheras last of the summer wine a little later he clearly did).

and (in a related topic) then there’s brexit

- and alexander boris de pfeffel johnson's new brexit advisor - arch backstop bludger daniel moylan (‘we are really doomed’ sagely remarked a tory remainer).

meanwhile david davis as chancellor or foreign secretary?

you've got be fucking kidding me... what do they say about him?

'lazy as a toad and thick as mince'

what is interesting about the torygraph finance section (and why horsemouth reads it assiduously) is its persistent doubt about the stability of the international financial regimes from the right (which accords nicely with horsemouth’s doubts about it from the left). to the high tories of the torygraph finance is still vaguely disreputable.
