recently horsemouth has been making moves to register with a doctor, get new documentation and spring clean his room (including the rugs). this involved dealing with photo-me machines (not a success) and photographer's studios (a success but expensive).
he has even gone out into the back garden and moved the potted plants out from off the rotted bits of decking. the sun is coming and will soon appear over the rooftop, shine into the back garden and dry out the decking (to some extent).
it is horsemouth's usual summer practice of the past few years to sit out in the back garden and read. similarly in the morning he will often sit out on the front steps (to get the sun). but perhaps he will avail himself of the public parks and copious beauty this year.
last night he watched the rivals of sherlock holmes: the missing q.c.'s by william arthur dunkerley (who wrote detective fiction under the name john oxenham and founded the idler). that seems to be the last of the series. horsemouth will miss it. he will probably transfer his affections to space 1999, the thick of it and the prisoner.
ian showed him a 'live' 13th floor elevators album from his extensive record collection.
but it is is in fact not 'live'. it is a compilation of outtakes and b-sides with added crowd noise (allegedly sourced from a boxing match). to horsemouth this makes it MORE interesting. live albums are ten a penny but a faked live album that's properly rare. he watched a little of tower of evil (1972) which he will finish off this evening.
today greyish possibly some sunshine in the afternoon. a walk with TG at some stage (post 10am).
