last (rush hour) train out of birmingham (hoarwithy ramble 2)

all this horsemouth wrote on the train up in the morning.

so horsemouth was on the world wide communion and did post some things. but now he's stuck in the meat world with coughing sneezing non-mask wearing people on a train. (ah brave new world, wondrous humanity) still - first world problems. horsemouth supposes that it was hitting 'temporary' account that did it - now he can't seem to get back to the main join up page. it should just be thrown up automatically (if horsemouth remembers correctly) horsemouth regrets not really paying attention in those IT classes. 

as horsemouth typed this we were just going through high wycombe jazz funk trancentral. he was just on for a few minutes (long enough to register). this he did by being patient and waiting (maybe if he tries it again this will work). horsemouth got back on and has joined up (but the connection has popped again) ok so he's on the two hour slow train to birmingham (the scenic route). thence he has a bus journey (to a friend's house) and then a car journey to he meet up point near sunny ross-on-wye. there horsemouth's family will dine and then horsemouth will make his way home. 

north of 8 hours travel today. he's not moaning (he likes the people). (remind him to check the train times back) 

the english countryside is beautiful (but probably boring to live in). except for the pronunciations bi-cester pronounced 'bister' - is that a silent 'ce' in the middle? 

yesterday horsemouth listened through to the monitor mixes of the set of tunes he was just recording with howard. it has all come out much better than he thought it would (but it's not yet without it's anxious/ not-quite-in-tune moments). will all the tunes survive? (probably not). just arrived at warwick. (worick) soon the train wifi will cease to be his concern (except for the journey back) he may have to read a book or doodle in his diary. 

 you may have to wait for all of this until tomorrow morning.

------------------------------------

and now he's on the train back. (he has a connection so he can probably pop this up). 

skateboarder youth. commuters. a very full train. 

the dinner was at a pub in hoarwithy. after horsemouth paddled in the river. so here it is solihull (the skateboarder youth have just got off). phew. 

several years ago horsemouth was on a ramble in hoarwithy (for new years day he thinks) or perhaps sometime around the last french presidential elections.
