a rather more refined text

sounding very texas. very SRV, horsemouth guesses it's the sunflower

yesterday... phew it is typing in compose view. horsemouth hates fussy html code. he just likes nice paragraph dividers rather than span commands with lots of instructions. yesterday he'd typed it all in before he'd realised it was in span. hopefully today we can have rather more refined text.

yesterday a chat with john in far off porto. he's kept a culture diary (unlike horsemouth) - horsemouth particularly noticed pool of london (basil dearden), and a film by agnes varda. pool of london  (and max messaging him about the destruction of the old truman brewery on brick lane) made horsemouth nostalgic for the city. 

so it's john in porto, denise and jonny  in caragline, iona in bucharest, zali in graz, brynley in holland (somewhere), another friend has portuguese residency (should she need it) - is there anybody else who has escaped that horsemouth has forgotten? 

of course in time of worldwide crisis there is no escape. but you may be somewhere where things are less bad.

horsemouth has mostly been watching vampire movies. other than that he went for a walk up on the common with his mum usually not possible because of the mud (which was good because the view is better from up there). they looked over the dulas valley to ewyas harold castle (where kilvert once went for a picnic),

outside the window occasional flashes of sunlight (no snow).  later today horsemouth works (he thinks) then that's it for the week. soon (22nd-28th) fahey week featuring robbie basho day (horsemouth should start collecting fahey material).
