what to do when there's breakfast

yesterday in the afternoon a meeting with howard.

a beer and a chat. a breakfast out on chatsworth road. then a pit stop to pick up more beer and a final beer out on hackney marshes. howard walked off up the hill to homerton station. horsemouth headed back to the borrowed (cat sat) gaff. 

work wise it's been a demanding year for howard and frankly he's knackered. it looks like there will be no musicians of bremening this recording season. horsemouth will have to do some noodling himself to keep his hand in. there was a discussion of cyclic time - equinox to equinox, solstice to solstice, the celtic quarter days between them. 

horsemouth has just heard that ayub ogada has died. apparently he died 2 years ago. horsemouth saw him supporting jah wobble one time.  here's on of his songs arranged for violin and kora. 


 yesterday horsemouth called in at home to prevent mission creep in the living room and to do a little laundry. in the evening he watched tv, first the news, then a glories of wales tv show, then the eagle  (being a modern adaptation of the eagle of the ninth).

a sad and angry young man has run amuck in portsmouth. he shot his mum. a three year old girl pushing a toy pram, her dad, a random couple (who didn't die), two more people and finally himself. apparently there had been an incident before but the police had returned his gun to him after he'd agreed to go on an anger management course (and so he was able to run amuck and shoot people). this is the problem with guns - it just makes it too easy to go and kill people. gun control is why the uk has a comparatively low murder rate (this is why horsemouth is in favour of gun control). 

today another greyish day with temperatures at the seasonal average. horsemouth is unsure what he will be getting on with.
