'... 98% of satanists...'

a recommendation from minty land. horsemouth is enjoying this a lot. she has a metal band as well windhand. (but is that wind like the air or wind like a watch, to quote a certain cartoon book).

horsemouth is enjoying the peace and quiet before the electrician comes round to change the fuse board and to get the smoke detectors back up and running. (the one outside horsemouth's door always detonates whenever anybody cooks - the ones upstairs should go off as well).

him and sten have had the first coffee for the day and there may be time to do a second. 

horsemouth is slightly at a loose end now the babysitting/ child transportation gig has ended (probably for the year). his plan is to get vaxxed (boostered) on monday and then to do a test and be off (cautiously) to his folks in the countryside. he was feeling the gringe but then he noticed a copy of to the devil a daughter (it would have been so much better with peter cushing rather than richard widmark). when he was a kid horsemouth had a making of book intended to teach children about film production.  

who knows maybe it had an effect on him? 

'98% of so-called ‘satanists’ are nothing but pathetic freaks, who get their kicks out of dancing naked in freezing churchyards'

later on another of the worlds beyond  series (allegedly from the archives of the society for psychical research). and then, a little bedtime reading, more of the white guard.  he could have gone for the origins of totalitarianism  instead (a how-to manual for would be demagogues). he is intrigued by the isolation/ loneliness/ solitude section - it kind of parallels the labour-work-action distinction from arendt's later the human condition. 

he's nearly done with his diary for the year. it might be an idea to get into keeping notebooks instead (he sometimes does this when he is on holiday). this saturday mike T is round to visit. there's a meeting of the communal endeavour to come (but horsemouth thinks it will be uneventful as it is in the run up to christmas) and there's the north shropshire by-election (the disgraced owen patersons constituency). 

next saturday the weeklong horsemouth on the golden glow festival commences with his first mix from 2015 and ends on sunday the 26th with his most recent mix from this year. 

roughly at the midpoint there will be the solstice.
