it will happen. never fear.
yesterday the sun shone. horsemouth walked on the common and then sat outside and read (the newspaper). he brought the book down but it didn't happen. he couldn't settle. he was quite restless. his feet kept walking him about the place.
he worked (briefly) in the afternoon. then went for a walk on the common. and then had a beer and settled down to watch zatoichi. (his feet keep walking him about the place). later he watched some crime drama with his parents and the dog. (he thought he should include that heart warming detail for people separated from their parents and their parents' dogs).
today is rainy and grey. later a journey to get chickens. and then?
well he has to get back to the wen at some point to enable him to work face to face on the 18th. and sooner is better really. there's also his first jab on the 24th.
he's been hiding out at his parents for the best part of a quarter of the year (nearly)
through as much of the second wave as he could manage. what is the future of the city? who knows. it's an interesting moment of change. all is mutability and flux. 'nought may endure but mutability' but mutability has periods (and then it's all stasis for so long you think change can never come). the face of the old politics is beginning to peak through events (god isn't it ugly). the best the state can do for you? a one percent payrise. think about that. what does it mean for the rest of us.
anyway horsemouth is old so it's not really his problem. (or so he tells himself).
horsemouth is feeling a bit flat-ish and anxious. the time has come to resume his life (such as it is). but what if it continues to be as blocked and disconnected as previously. neither here nor there has the thing (that's its problem).
