'this year has been fine (but I am looking forward to next)' - brian aldiss in the year of the big spring clean in the year's best science fiction no.6 (1973). horsemouth has (re-)punctuated it after his fashion.
horsemouth has been watching dwelling shows - where people build houses (usually far out in the wilderness with composting toilets). he also watched a documentary on rush. he'd always assumed alex lifeson was some kind of a swede but it turns out his family are from (the former) yugoslavia. what horsemouth liked about rush was that they were nerds from the suburbs (horsemouth was a nerd from the suburbs).
while on the subject of power trios burke shelley of budgie has died. they deserved to be much better known than they were. two years ago there was the mari lwyd. horsemouth looks forward to the mari lwyd next year.
horsemouth returns to the wen soon enough - tomorrow or friday. he then has a social event saturday (which he will attend gingerly). he has a cheque to bank. he has communal endeavour stuff to be attending to and (early february) he has a gig to play. presumably there will be some child minding at some point.
hopefully he returns to a seaside towns where the current variant has hit peak and is in decline.
horsemouth needs to have a year of the big spring clean (he initially thought it was the title of a science fiction story - probably one where the wastefulness of throwing things out is revealed). if horsemouth is to get mobile (even if he does not move) he needs to do things like get his papers in order, potlatch his library, put his records in storage, etc. etc. sell/ give away/ abandon his furniture (such as it is).
outside there's been a frost (but now it is a bright sunshine-y day).
