a heron being chased by crows (actually)

good morning! good morning!

ok ok it's a bit of a grey morning out there but nonetheless it's a monday, the start of the week and the possibility of the realisation of its potentialities.

horsemouth types this wearing a t-shirt, shirt and jumper.

there is a bit in a recent performance video where horsemouth stares up into the skies, he's  a bit discombobulated, he's watching a heron being chased by crows. his lips open and close. he waits for teh words to come. he is having a 'senior moment' - he cannot remember the word 'heron'. horsemouth's memory, he must concede this up front, is a bit fucked. but at least the arthritis is his hands seems to have calmed down a bit. 

and at least he seems to have lived through the plague epidemic and, unlike philip k. dick, he has not been assailed by pink laser beams bearing cosmogenic information. similarly, unlike harry in herman hesse's steppenwolf,  he has not become so possessed by rage that he thinks he is a wolf.

horsemouth has compiled his books, films, event list for may 2022 (no gigs this month). only two gialli (puzzle aka. l’uomo senza memoria  duccio tessari 1974 and the short night of the glass dolls aldo lado 1971) and a couple of noirs (siodmak's the killers  and one from japan and a french-italian co-production). likewise a fairly undistinguished booklist (no deep theoretical divings). there is still a couple of days before he publishes it here so he could surprise himself and get in something classy. 

this week horsemouth is away to cat-sit, he goes round to his brother's for dinner, he pays the (extortionate) gas and electricity bills (and gets the contributions in from his housemates). it is a half-term howard thinks there is a day they can devote to mixing/ sorting out the tracks musicians of bremen  have recorded so far. 

over the weekend some of horsemouth's fellow co-operators from the communal endeavour were due to attend a zoom meeting on moving housing co-operatives towards net zero (insulation, solar panels, heat pumps), horsemouth does hope they attended and profited from the experience. he could have gone himself but he thinks it is important that the endeavour gets new blood. 

next week the rent goes up (the thing horsemouth encouraged everybody to vote for).

we are about to enter flaming june (not that you'd know it from the weather outside).
