'everything is going to be alright'

we carry on  with discussions. things don't turn out as planned. 

today horsemouth works (but not til this afternoon). it looks like a clear run out for the next 10 weeks. then it's exam season. horsemouth is unsure when he will make it back to the seaside towns (dodging the patrols). he is, after all, paying to live there.

next monday a meeting of the communal endeavour.  

it is 6 months since the release (by musicians of bremen) of 'everything is going to be alright'  with its attack on the block/ UFO apocalyptic cover.  horsemouth really likes the beat, ghazale's voice, and howard's guitar and keyboard work,  he wishes he'd got the chance to sort out his own guitar parts on the second part of the track more (but covid intervened). 

five years ago he was away to number 1 the thames. john clarkson was away saying goodbye to prior to the monster drive to portugal (I journeyed through england, through france and through spain as pentangle sing). eventually (and we are talking days here and by means of a tunnel not shown on their maps but only proposed) they arrived in the north of portugal and paused at a motorway service station to discover how the portuguese motorway charging system worked. 

while they were away the brexit vote happened and the whole idea of europe went down to defeat. they literally got up the morning after st.joao and surveyed the wreckage of their euro dreams. 

people were already on the move anticipating the wreck. and finally we are here in the new dispensation. horsemouth should renew his passport and get one of those new health insurance cards so he can participate in the full horror of it. (travel insurance too).
