the cats came and collected him from the attic. at first they purred but that didn't last long... (tiger woo cheetah coup).
horsemouth continues his adventures in the cloud forest.
yesterday to avoid the yapping dog who guards the front door he was mostly making use of the garden gate at the back of the house. in the forest and the forest clearings it was most idyllic. it was cold but the sun shone. horsemouth made his way straight to the allotment to make sure the temporary greenhouse was still standing after its unfortunate boulversation during the recent storms. having checked that he did a little light watering. the polytunnel roof of the old greenhouse is gone (the salad room looks schematic).
in the evening large bangings and moving around of furniture could be heard from downstairs or next door. (could they not have done it in the day?) horsemouth retired to the attic.
horsemouth spent most of yesterday working his way through murder ballad writing the new lyrics and working out what backing vocals could be sing where. once again (after turn your heater on) ghost town looms large in horsemouth's imagining.
today (later) more guitar playing in east ham (hopefully). an issue has arisen over the weekend (it is his brother's youngest's birthday - there is a family do horsemouth's attendance is requested). horsemouth and howard have a gig they are going to see saturday night. there is a plan to do more recording on friday (energy levels permitting).
and then the musicians of bremen recording campaign for 2022 will be over.
the fluffy ginger cat from next door is peering in the catflap in search of extra food. a fox just gingerly crossed next doors lawn.
the charmless lord pickles has given evidence at the grenfell inquiry 'in his evidence last wednesday and thursday, (pickles) seemed more defensive than apologetic for his department’s systemic failings' but it goes beyond this, he gets positively onto the front foot urging counsel to 'use your time wisely' in the questioning because he had an 'extremely busy day meeting people'.
of course the position of housing minister is effectively a sinecure and a rotating door, a stepping-stone to higher things, ministers hardly ever stay more than a year in role, so lots of them are implicated.
'an investigation by trade magazine Inside Housing revealed that between 2014 and 2017 the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) wrote to ministers at least 21 times, calling for the (coroner's) recommendations after the lakanal house fire to be implemented.'
pickles later wrongly said 96 people had died in the fire (it was 72) and referred to them as the nameless when they have all been identified. he referred to himself in the third person as 'pickles' on several occasions.
like horsemouth said charmless.
