if it were gove at least the trains would run on time (but we'd all be dead).

dominic is on tv tonight. he will tell us boris didn't want to go into lockdown two, to lockdown the economy with only 80 year olds dying. but come on this (wrongheaded) view is simply the kind of harsh minded triage that dominic himself would attempt. the PM is a dolt, a shambling everyman, a bertie wooster, a big baby, he has the inverse midas touch (everything he touches turns into shit) and that is what people like about him - charging him with a mere lack of competence hardly seems fair dominic. 

after all you got him elected. 

horsemouth supposes it could be worse. it could have been gove. if it were gove at least the trains would run on time (but we'd all be dead). 

come to think of it boris deserves some kind of an award ...for services to the virus etc.

currently the youth are being bribed into getting the jab by being threatened with not being let into night clubs. horsemouth thinks the youth should be off raving in the forests but he thinks get the jab also - true it is a massive experiment but the harms of the virus vastly outweigh the likely harms of the vaccine (so says horsemouth who knows absolutely nothing about these matters). 

shortly horsemouth will decamp to the cloud forest for a week. it looks like the weather will be good and sunny. 

this afternoon some babysitting (possibly dinner after). (remind him to stick some more money on his phone) horsemouth was up visiting dave and claudia last night, during the day he painted. dave and claudia were on good form, they sat and sang and played for a bit in the garden.

horsemouth is trying to kill off the sitting room redecoration so that it can be brought back into use as a facility for everyone in the house - it would be nice, for example, to be able to use it to sit and watch tv sometimes. at the moment it is entirely devoted to tools storage for one member of the house (for horsemouth to be successful this is going to have to change). 

during the redecoration horsemouth discovered a how to manual on making a business plan. now the communal endeavour needs to make a business plan because it needs to borrow some money, or rather it should want to borrow some money to buy new property to rehouse its members as the shortlife ends. horsemouth will try and get the process  started try and incorporate a wide range of views (he may have missed stuff and rehousing members may not be everybody's priority). 

wednesday he goes to a meeting of the communal endeavour.  thursday he decamps to the cloud forest. the met office has issued a heat warning. the poor duds next door continue with their building.
