some good comes of it (equinox)

'salut monsieur reynard! comment allez-vous?'

horsemouth is up. he has his coffee. whilst the little machine was making the coffee a big red healthy dog fox crossed along the back wall of the garden and then returned a little later. it's a beautiful golden glow morning (sten is off to work). 

it's the equinox. the days and nights become of equal length (this actually will occur on the equilux in a few days time). but then the nights overwhelm the days. at 7.51pm in the evening the year goes dark. autumn begins in earnest. 

horsemouth here plays you a tune by orbital where they sample the equinox audio ID from a  TV science program. if horsemouth remembers correctly it was from a show devoted to the new rave culture and if his memory serves him well narrated by voice of dr. who tom baker (he thinks meat beat manifesto later had the line 'burning with ecstasy' from it for radio babylon. 

currently he's listening to orbital's  lush 3 (euro tunnel disaster '94) which is as big and ravey as one could like. 

later (3pm) horsemouth goes to record some more guitar in addition to (well actually probably instead of) the guitar he recorded the last time. he didn't record the guitar he put down last time to the vocal. if the vocal is the heart of the tune then a different guitar is required (horsemouth will take an acoustic to try and differentiate the sound out as well from the other guitar).

some good comes of it was the optimistic thought that horsemouth wrote down last night. 

the people pass by on their ways to work/ parents tow children (some reluctant and dawdling, some on wheels).  they are illuminated by the golden glow (especially the ones walking east). saturday horsemouth gets to be useful again and do some child minding. he needs to finish checking that he can get access to all his various small saved sums (to ensure he can live a life of riley). 

we are six years on from pig gate - (when we learned the then prime minister had fucked the head of a pig during a university initiation ritual). ian is up. they've started work for the day again next door (extension and flood damage).
